Delaware Electric

At DEC, we power more than homes and businesses — we power opportunity. From offering safe energy programs in elementary schools to providing internship and scholarship opportunities, and beyond, DEC is proud to empower the next generation of leaders within our communities.

Today, DEC honors the men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country — those who lost their lives protecting our nation and fighting to uphold the freedoms we hold dear. We wish all of our members a safe and reflective Memorial Day.

DEC is back with more energy-saving tips for the summer season! A great way to save is to use smaller appliances, like slow cookers or air fryers instead of the oven on hot days. Cooking indoors can heat up your home, making your air conditioner work harder. #saveenergy

Our guys have been gearing up for one of our favorite events of the year — the Gaff-n-Go Lineworker Rodeo! While the competition may be fierce, we know they will give it all they've got. Please help us wish them well!

Approximately 912 members in the Dover area are currently without power. Crews are en route to identify the cause of the outage and to begin restoring service as quickly and safely as possible.

Have you checked your air filter lately? A clean air filter helps your system run more efficiently and keeps cool air flowing. Check your filter monthly during the summer and replace it when it’s dirty. #saveenergy
