AI Summary
-
Delaware General Assembly opposes PJM Interconnection's cost allocation decision for a $400 million improvement project at the Salem and Hope Creek nuclear facilities on Artificial Island in New Jersey.
-
PJM Interconnection allocated more than half of the $272 million transmission line costs to Delaware ratepayers despite Delaware receiving less than 10 percent of the economic benefits according to the Delaware Public Service Commission.
-
The transmission line can technically terminate in neighboring zones to resolve stability issues at Artificial Island, making Delaware's allocation disproportionate to benefits received.
-
General Assembly supports appealing the decision to the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) and urges FERC to reject PJM Interconnection's conclusions.
-
Increased electricity rates from this project would burden Delaware families, reduce business competitiveness, and harm the state's attractiveness as a business location.
