Urges the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) to accept either of two alternative cost allocation methodologies for the Artificial Island Project presented by PJM Interconnection on June 9, 2017.

Objects to the current solution-based distribution factor (SBDFAX) methodology that allocates over 90% of the $278 million project cost to Delmarva Zone customers despite minimal regional benefits to Delaware.

Notes the Artificial Island Project is a transmission line across the Delaware River connecting to nuclear power facilities to address stability issues, not to meet supply needs in the Delmarva Peninsula.

States the alternative methodologies would allocate only 6-10% of project costs to Delmarva Zone customers and distribute remaining costs to regions receiving greater benefits.

Directs copies of the resolution be sent to the Delaware Public Service Commission, Delaware Division of the Public Advocate, FERC, and PJM.
