Dover Electric Rates.

The energy market is deregulated in Delaware, which means suppliers compete for business in the market. Deregulation allows suppliers to offer competitive rates, preventing utility companies from holding a monopoly over the market. This system keeps the overall price of energy down. It also gives consumers the chance to choose their supplier and have some control over the price they pay.

While consumers can choose suppliers with low rates, they also rely on utility companies to deliver energy to their homes and businesses. Utilities serve designated service areas, respond to outages and maintain power lines. You can call your utility directly when outages and power issues arise. In Dover, your utility is Delmarva Power.

With the market constantly changing, shopping for suppliers can help you lower your electric rate. When you commit to a new supplier, you’ll choose the type of product you would like. Fixed rates stay the same for a set period, while variable rates change each month based on shifts in the energy market and often come with a monthly fee. All of our instant offers are fixed products only for residential and small commercial. Rarely does it make sense to sign up for a variable agreement.

Before you sign a new contract, make sure your new service lines up with your current agreement ending. This step helps you avoid any early termination fees.
