the milford moose used to be outside of milford's electric and milford got it changed and i was told last week their electric bill doubled. that sounds like greedy milford to me. milford needs to turn that loose and let delaware electric take over so people can have a break. It makes no sense to me for them to charge double. i know a lot of people in milford that struggle with that electric bill. The water bill is another rip too. Add the poison "floride" they put in that dumbs down the population i'd be tappin into a well somewhere. wake up milford!

The first electric bill from Delmarva power was about$143.00  The bill listed USAGE as about $40, and DELIVERY CHARGE as about $103.00  She called and asked what the delivery charge was all about. The lady told her it was the cost of getting the electricity to you. She tried to get her to go into detail about it, but was told the same answer again. She just moved from a house in Georgetown,and her average bill there, with the CO-OP, was $45.00. Anyone know if this is the usual way Delmarva Power bills?
Be thankful you dont live in the city limits of Milford. thank God i moved just outside and get my Electric from Delaware electric coop inc.  Its half the price of Milford.  Milford must charge a lot taking the part of the middle man. In the summer months with both Air conditioners running its never above 140.00. my largest bill in the winter using 2 electric heaters mostly its a 100 bucks more. we've got it pretty good out here so far. Seems they only want rich people in milford with the high price of Utilitys and rentals etc. I grew up and lived in city limits most of my life till it got bad or to expensive.

Milfordian, why is it that you seem to take any criticism in these forums personally. Haven't you figured out by now that this is a place where people get things off their chest?

If you live in a mobile home and you are paying over $600 a month that's not D.P.'s fault, you need to initiate a conservation plan, or stop using all the grow lights for the pot plants. I live in a rancher, 3 bedrooms incl. 1 upstairs. My electric bill from D.P. is around $150-200.

I'm not saying they don't charge a lot, but there are things you can do to lower your bill.

You're right....I had talked to her while she was on her way to work, she didn't have her bill .She moved from a house, that had only propane wall heaters and woodstove heat, to a trailer that has a furnace that runs on some kind of kerosene, (I never heard of that before), so she would now have the blower fan on this furnace. Both places had an electric dryer and hot water heater......I will have her compare the two bills, for consumption.  If they're similiar in usage, then maybe it is in the delivery charges,like Blues said.   The big difference is she had the co-op before, and D-power now.   Will let you know what I find out from her.:)

DB,

Don't know about Delmarva Power but thats the way it was in MA as well. The extra fees were "transmission of the electricity through the lines, transmission line maintenence, etc" .   It was nothing more than a way around the regulations which controlled the actual amount that could be charged per Kwh.....so they added all the other ancillary charges.
