As a not-for-profit member-owned cooperative Delaware Electric has provided reliable service at competitive rates for its member-owners in Kent and Sussex counties since 1936. The success of that simple but effective business model has not been realized by chance or luck, but rather with the hard work of dedicated employees over the years, and a Plan. The Cooperative manages the energy supply side of the business on two fronts, first our ownership in a Generation & Transmission Cooperative jointly owned and managed by ten other member cooperatives in Maryland and Virginia provides DEC the leverage necessary to gain a financial advantage in the market place. Secondly, once DEC “takes possession” of that electricity at specific delivery points we, and our member-owners, manage and utilize that energy in a cost conscious way.
