Delmarva Power Plan Addresses Delaware’s Long-Term Energy Needs


In 2006, Delmarva Power began development of a plan to meet Delaware’s long-term electric energy supply needs.  The Plan, submitted to the Delaware Public Service Commission on November 3, 2008, proposed a combination of energy efficiency measures, transmission system upgrades, new renewable generation, and power purchased from the wholesale power market.

The plan, called the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), proposes this diversity of energy supply to protect customers from price volatility in any one segment of the energy markets as well as to meet the energy efficiency and environmental goals of the state of Delaware.

In September 2009 some important changes in the energy markets coupled with changes in the regulations impacting the IRP process necessitated a new IRP be developed and submitted by June 2010.  In preparing to do so, a series of informal public workshops are under way, and offer all parties a forum to provide input and comment on the 2010 IRP. Here, you can find copies of the presentations made at these workshops. The title of each presentation indicates its topic and the workshop date. 

Delmarva will be updating this site with new materials as they become available during the development of the 2010 IRP. Additional materials can also be accessed on the Delaware Public Service Commission’s Web site, http://depsc.delaware.gov/.
