MSC increases the Power Purchase Adjustment (PPA)
Date Posted: Tuesday, May 7th, 2024We regret to inform you of a 3.8% increase in electric rates, following closely on a recent rate adjustment. Changes in state and federal energy policies have led to the retirement of older coal plants and the delay in new renewable energy plants coming online, reducing power supply and increasing costs. All electric customers on the Delmarva Peninsula will be affected, with an expected $177 million impact over 12 months. Due to our partial ownership of Beasly Power Plant, MSC’s impact will be lower, at $271,130.67 annually, roughly a 3.38% increase, still maintaining the lowest residential electric rate in the […]

Date Posted: Monday, March 18th, 2024A LETTER TO OUR CUSTOMERS FROM COMMISSIONER DAVID ATHERTON
Date Posted: Wednesday, February 7th, 2024Dear MSC Customer, We know that our citizens need a voice in spending their hard-earned money. Our forefathers understood that local control of the utilities is far better than paying an investor-owned utility whose first concern is turning a profit. Local control ensures our common goal of reliability, quality customer service, and low cost. With the 16.8% inflation over the last 3 years, utilities will need to make rate adjustments. Even after our modest rate increase (average $5.71 a month), MSC currently has the second lowest residential rates in the state. On the other hand, our neighboring […]
