kWh Index

Delmarva Power

Delmarva Power is investor owned serving 172,008 residential customers in Maryland, at an average residential price of 20.22¢ per kilowatt-hour.

That price is derived, and it is annual. It is total residential revenue divided by total residential sales in EIA’s 2024 survey — not a tariff, and not this month’s rate. For what a kilowatt-hour costs in Maryland right now, see the state page, currently 21.84¢.

What it reported, by service

ServiceResidential customersResidentialCommercial

Delivery14,3608.76¢5.51¢

A utility can file bundled service and delivery-only service separately. A delivery-only price excludes the energy itself, so the two are not comparable and are not ranked against each other.

The headline figure includes major event days, because a customer who lost power for three days in a storm lost power for three days. See how this compares nationally.
