Priced out by Delmarva on a fixed income. We fixed that.
An elderly homeowner in Federalsburg, living on a fixed income, was being priced out by her Delmarva Power bill. Delmarva's residential rate has more than doubled since 2020 — from 12.60¢ to 25.70¢ per kWh, a 103.97% increase — and a fixed income doesn't stretch to cover that.
We designed a solar system for her home that locked in her rate, so Delmarva's increases stop applying to her. For someone on a fixed income, that's more than savings — it's stability.

Operating out of Stevensville on Kent Island, we see firsthand how Delmarva Power's rates have hammered homeowners across the Shore — up to 25.70¢ per kWh, more than double what it was in 2020. Choptank Electric Cooperative customers across the mid-shore have felt a similar squeeze, and Easton Utilities customers in town run under yet another set of rules. This isn't an abstract stat to us; it's our own neighbors' bills.
