Summary

Delaware Public Service Commission Order No. 10816, entered on 3 September 2025, requires Delmarva Power & Light Company to have a revised large load tariff in place before interconnecting prospective Delaware customers with monthly maximum demand of 25 MW or more. It is a current interconnection condition for a broad large-load class that includes, but is not limited to, data centers. The tariff proceeding is recorded separately.

What this does not establish

  • The same source instrument also opens the separately recorded tariff proceeding; this record covers only the operative interconnection pause.
  • The order applies to all prospective Delmarva Delaware customers at or above the 25 MW threshold, not only data centers.
  • The official docket system is disallowed by its robots.txt for automated review, so whether a later order lifted this condition was not established from the complete docket.
  • The order's recital names the utility 'Delmarva Light & Power Company'; the ordering paragraphs use DPL.

Unresolved questions

  • Whether a revised tariff is now in place and the ordering-paragraph 4 interconnection condition has been lifted was not established.

Relationships

Supersession means a later instrument replaces the earlier legal effect. Repeal links identify the repeal instrument and the measure it ends. A later implementation or related letter is not treated as a replacement unless the record says so.
