CRI and other plaintiffs are heading to Delaware Superior Court to challenge DNREC’s approval of permits for the US Wind Maryland Offshore Wind Project. The case raises questions about the public review process, potential impacts to Delaware’s beaches and dunes, and how the project was handled under state law. CRI argues Delawareans deserve transparency and the opportunity to review information used before decisions affecting the state’s coastline are made.

Delaware has an abundant renewable energy resource that is often overlooked: wood. Creating a market for lower-value wood could support healthier forests, strengthen Delaware’s forest-products industry, provide a locally available energy source, and give landowners another reason to keep forestland from being lost to development.

Delaware needs more electricity, but new dependable power plants aren’t being built. Why? This article examines how Delaware’s restructured energy market, wholesale pricing, subsidies, and the “missing money” problem are shaping investment in new generation—and what that could mean for the reliability of Delaware’s electric grid.

Heavy water (D₂O) may soon become one of the world's most strategically important materials. As global supplies tighten and demand grows across nuclear energy, semiconductors, pharmaceuticals, and advanced manufacturing, the United States faces both a significant challenge and a unique opportunity. Discover why heavy water could become the next rare earth—and why Delaware is well positioned to lead the future of this emerging industry.

Offshore wind is moving from projections to reality. Rising costs, legal battles, and new scientific findings are reshaping the industry as developers, policymakers, and investors rely increasingly on real-world experience instead of promises.

Heavy water is a little-known but essential material used in fusion energy, advanced medicine, semiconductors, and quantum technology. As America grows increasingly dependent on foreign suppliers, Delaware may have an opportunity to help strengthen a critical domestic supply chain and support the industries of the future.

Senate Bill 321 would require Delmarva Power to collect community solar subscription fees on behalf of private solar developers while obscuring those charges from customer bills. Critics argue the proposal reduces transparency, shifts financial risk to ratepayers, and lacks the consumer protections lawmakers are pursuing elsewhere in Delaware.

House Bill 269 shifts Delaware’s interconnection standards from state regulators to procedures developed by a private advocacy organization. While supporters say it will speed renewable energy projects, critics argue it gives a non-governmental group unprecedented influence over Delaware’s electric grid and raises questions about accountability, oversight, and ratepayer protection.

Delaware’s offshore wind debate continues expanding beyond renewable energy policy alone. Legal challenges involving local land use, state permitting, fisheries concerns, grid reliability, and rising economic pressures continue surrounding the US Wind project. As new developments unfold at the county, state, and federal levels, CRI remains actively involved in monitoring and challenging offshore wind approvals impacting Delaware communities and ratepayers.
