Agriculture Energy Management in the New Castle County
Agriculture facilities in the New Castle County run a highly seasonal with weather dependency load of roughly 150,000-600,000 kWh/month on Delmarva Power service. We put that load in front of vetted suppliers and engineer the contract around how you actually use power.
Agriculture Load in New Castle County
New Castle County holds the corporate registrations and headquarters that Delaware is known for, plus the chemical and life sciences research legacy of the DuPont companies and the University of Delaware campus. Delmarva Power serves the entire state in PJM's DPL transmission zone. Delaware's Standard Offer Service is the benchmark, and it is procured in laddered tranches like Maryland's. The distinctive local issue is corporate real estate: multi-tenant office and lab buildings in and around Wilmington frequently carry metering arrangements set up for previous occupants, and reconciling those against current tenancy is where the recoverable money usually sits.
Agriculture is not the dominant sector in this territory, where corporate and financial headquarters, chemical and life sciences research, university and healthcare load carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a agriculture load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A highly seasonal with weather dependency profile at 150,000-600,000 kWh/month is the specific thing we take to market, and the contract structure follows from it: fixed, indexed, or block-and-index, sized to your actual baseload rather than to a nameplate figure.
Where Agriculture Load Sits on Delmarva Power
At 150,000-600,000 kWh/month, most agriculture sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| GS-S — General Service Secondary | commercial accounts at secondary voltage |
| GS-P — General Service Primary | larger facilities at primary voltage |
| GS-T — General Service Transmission | industrial sites at transmission voltage |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
