New Renewable Energy Legislation Passes In DE
Dover, DE – On the first day after President Biden refocused the nation’s commitment to climate action, the first state passed a clean energy bill that will increase the amount of renewable energy from 25% to 40% to Delaware homes and businesses. The Renewable Portfolio Standard bill, known as S.B. 33 introduced by State Sen. Hansen and Rep. Osienski, passed both chambers of the Delaware General Assembly. While this is a step in the right direction, Delaware still lags behind other states in the region. The State’s current public utility, Delmarva, and the State’s Public Advocate agree that we can increase the RPS to 50% by 2035 and still save up to 80% when future costs are compared to what ratepayers are currently paying.
