We just paid $380.82 for electric use in Sept. We had no heat or a/c running there are only 2 of us in the house. There will be many people without heat or lights this winter if they continue raising the rates.

A few years ago I had an issue with Delmarva Power for not bothering to come out to check our meters. If I remember correctly, they were charging an estimated amount. That situation was resolved with the help of Delegate Sossi.

I see they are up to their old tricks. I did not see the notice of Evening Hearings. I sent a check to Delmarva Power for $223.51 this month. My husband and I live in a very tiny rented cottage. It has two small bedrooms, one bath, and open kitchen/living room. It is criminal that we should have to pay that much for energy. This past month the electricity often was not on during the day and is always turned off at night. Something needs to be done to bring Delmarva into some kind of accountability. We can’t afford an increase!

Delmarva(subsid. of Pepco Holdings) is doing very well stock & dividend wise; while op. expenses are up slightly, they have a heavy pension and executive pay load(THEIR problem, not ours!).

I send out free energy DIY lists to those interested in saving money on electric. Most just simple insulating techniques some new technologies, etc.

While we scramble to save elec, buy CFLS and all that, Delmarva(i.e. Pepco) exhibits its greed by trying to get yet more money from us ratepayers. How nice of them during this recession!

I am a Delmarva Power customer and do not recall seeing any notice regarding a public hearing for a proposed rate increase. I agree with Delegate Smigiel, if anything rates should be decreased since the cost of oil is down.

Due to the outrageous cost to heat our home last winter ($500-$600/month for a 1200 sq. ft. rancher), we are currently looking into an alternative heat source to use rather than our current electric baseboard.

Something NEEDS to be done, maybe regulation through legislation to cap their rate would be the solution.
