An Act To Amend Title 26 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Large Energy Use Facilities.

Summary

This Delaware bill requires electric utilities to create a separate rate classification for large energy-use facilities (those consuming 20+ megawatts, primarily data centers) to prevent their infrastructure costs from being passed to residential and small business customers. The Public Service Commission must approve these rates based on criteria including fair cost allocation, grid reliability, and the utility's ability to meet state renewable energy and emissions reduction targets. Utilities must submit their rate applications within 180 days of the bill's enactment.
