About Delmarva Power and Light

Delmarva Power is a subsidiary of parent company Exelon and is headquartered in Newark, Delaware. This article explains how the Delmarva Power bill payment system works, as well as how to set up and manage your Delmarva Power account.

Residential and commercial customers in Delaware and eastern Maryland can purchase a deregulated natural gas and electricity plan from one of the several energy distribution systems and suppliers in those regions. Their selected suppliers will then work with Delmarva Power to maintain energy efficiency and prevent interruptions in delivery.

General Payment Information for Delmarva Power Users

The current Price to Compare (default supply price) for Delmarva Power electricity supply is currently $0.725 per kWh for residential customers and $0.595 to $0.775 per kWh for commercial/business customers. The natural gas supply base price is currently $0.499 per therm. In case you choose one of the competitive electricity and natural gas utility companies in the area, you may receive special pricing and incentives, as well as high safety standards and reliable delivery. However, there is no guarantee that you will save money on the total bill for both utilities.

How to Pay Your Bill

There are four ways you can pay your Delmarva Power bill.

1. Online: Once you have created an energy supply account with the company, you can pay through an online payment account or as a guest (via a utility account number and zip code).

Does Delmarva Power Have Payment Plan Options?

Delmarva Power offers several ways to pay your electricity and natural gas bills. This include debit card payments, credit card payments, bank drafts, in-person payments, payments via mail, and phone payments.

Additionally, they provide two different payment options for each customer to choose from:

1. Budget Plan – You will pay a constant amount every month, without any charge fluctuations. The total bills are calculated based on projected costs, usage, and the weather (seasons).
2. Assistance Programs – You can choose from several payment assistance programs to help pay your energy bills. These include programs such as the Weatherization Assistance Program, Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), and the Delaware Energy Assistance Program, among others.

The Delaware Energy Assistance Program offers grants to income-eligible households and renters for fuel assistance, and a supplemental grant for crisis assistance in dire cases (out of fuel, shut-off notice, no money to pay bills, etc.). Additionally, eligible low-income customers can get access to the Good Neighbor Energy Fund, which is a partnership between Delmarva Power and the Salvation Army that aims to provide energy assistance via collected donations.

How to Lower Your Delmarva Power Bill

Deregulated energy plans allow customers to choose from several rates from multiple competitive energy distributors and suppliers. Check the ‘Price to Compare’ — Delmarva Power’s default rate — and compare it with licensed electricity and natural gas supplier prices.

Arbor’s TrueRate Protection is the best way to ensure that you always pay the lowest rate against your current ‘Price to Compare.’

For example, Delmarva Power’s current electricity Price to Compare is 7.25 cents per kWh. Arbor scans the electricity utility markets for the best rates, and will generally find lower rates than your current supplier’s price.
