Statement on behalf of the Public Service Commission Staff and Division of the Public Advocate:

“FERC’s decision on February 28th regarding the cost allocation of the $278 million Artificial Island project is a huge win for the Delmarva Zone (Delaware and Maryland).  This decision avoids more than $200 million in cost to Delaware residents, and businesses.  We want to thank Governor Carney for his leadership on this issue, the federal delegation, the General Assembly, and Governor Hogan of Maryland.  The Public Service Commission and Division of the Public Advocate joined the fight to lower costs to the Delmarva Zone.  This is a huge win for Delaware ratepayers.”
