Delmarva Power supported state legislation in 2007 requiring that 20% of the energy supplied to its customers by 2019 be from renewable sources. Thus far only a long-term offshore wind proposal has been explored to meet this goal.
Dennis Wraase, chairman and CEO of Pepco Holdings, said: I look forward to Delmarva Power working with the State of Delaware in becoming leaders in providing customers with this most promising type of renewable energy. Onshore wind power presents a great opportunity for the state and the customers of Delmarva Power.
