What is “Renewable Energy”? Renewable energy comes from sources
that are essentially limitless. Some sources of renewable energy
include the wind, the sun, flowing water and the heat of the
earth. In addition to being plentiful in supply, many forms of
renewable energy yield zero greenhouse gasses, and therefore
hold promise not only for our energy future but also for
preserving the climate. Delmarva Power is committed to
increasing the amount of renewable energy sources used to
generate electricity for its customers. Today, that percentage
is small due to the lack of available renewable resources.
However, we are committed to seeing that percentage grow – up to
20 percent by 2020 in some states. We recognize that renewable
energy has the potential to provide us with cleaner air, a more
diverse energy portfolio, and less dependence on foreign fossil
fuels. In the near future, through progressive investment in
tested and reliable renewable energy solutions, Delmarva Power
aims to reduce its use of fossil fuels
