Help Lower
Delaware's Electricity Costs

Delaware participates in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), which requires certain power plants to pay for the carbon dioxide they emit. Those costs become part of the price of producing electricity and can ultimately be passed on to consumers.

At a time when Delawareans are already paying more for electricity, should we keep adding to the cost?

Add your name and urge Delaware lawmakers to get Delaware out of RGGI.
