Our Maryland customers
are able to shop among licensed competitive electric providers. Whether or not
you choose to purchase electricity from another provider, we will continue to
deliver electricity to all customers through our network of electric power lines.
We will continue to maintain these power lines and restore service in the event
of any disruption, such as weather related events, and respond to emergency and
routine service calls.

If you do not choose a
different provider, we buy electricity for you and charge you according to
rates approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission. This is called the
“Standard Offer Service” (SOS) program, and rates appear under the “Supply
Charges” portion of your bill.
The “Supply Charges”
section in your electricity bill is broken down to indicate charges for:
Charges for Supply are
itemized to show the component rates and dollar amounts. The dollar amounts are
totaled and listed as “Total Electric Supply Charges”.
If you choose a provider
other than Delmarva, you will pay that provider’s price for electric supply
instead of our electric price.
