Delaware legislators are considering modifications to state regulations governing community-owned power generation facilities through proposed legislation known as Senate Bill 210.
The proposed measure would alter existing language in Delaware’s legal code that defines what qualifies as a “Community-owned energy generating facility.” Under the new requirements, these facilities would need to connect to the electrical grid at locations within service territories overseen by utilities that fall under Public Service Commission oversight.
The legislation specifically targets Section 1001(5) of Title 26 in Delaware’s legal code, which covers public utility regulations. The change would add geographic restrictions to where these community energy projects can link into the power grid.
Currently, the bill is under review by state lawmakers as part of the legislative process.
