Palmer Energy, the
City and County's aggregation broker announced the results of a
request for bids for a new energy supplier contract that becomes
effective on January 1, 2015 for Wilmington and April 1, 2015 for the
unincorporated areas of the county as well as Midland and Port
William.
Because the county
is the aggregation authority for the city and the two villages the
plan is for the county commissioners to selected the supplier for all
entities.
The current
provider, DP&L Energy Reserve (DPLER) was not among the low
bidders. AEP a large and well known electrical energy company, had
the low bid of 6.1 cents per kilowatt hour for a 36 month period.
This price is about seven tenth of a cent higher than DPLER's current
price.
Palmer's
recommendation is to choose the low bidder's offer. The commissioners
will make their provider selection within the next month.
A reminder that DP&L
will continue to provide billing and system maintenance support no
matter who the energy supplier is.
