Careers

Delaware Electric Cooperative is a progressive not-for-profit utility serving more than 112,000 homes, farms and businesses in central and southern Delaware. We are committed to providing members with affordable, reliable and sustainable power. We are focused on the communities we power because we are part of those communities. DEC is also focused on the future, which promises to bring extraordinary changes to the energy industry. Co-op leaders are proud to be taking a proactive role in shaping this energy revolution and are dedicated to making sure members have reliable, affordable, safe and sustainable energy for years to come.

We’re working hard to reduce our carbon footprint and are building a more sustainable and resilient network of power lines and substations. Cooperative leaders are providing members with the tools they need to conserve energy, all while maintaining the Co-op’s position as one of the most affordable energy providers in the First State. The cooperative business model is unique. As the only electric cooperative in Delaware, we give excess revenue back to our consumer members. Our leaders are members and so are many of our employees. We’re also part of a national network of hundreds of energy cooperatives that help each other during major storms and work together to develop innovative solutions to challenging problems.
