Utility rules and programs for Milford
City of Milford electric department, Delaware Electric Cooperative and Delmarva Power serve Kent County, so which rules apply depends on your address.
| Utility | Type | EV programs and rates |
|---|---|---|
| City of Milford | city-owned | Ask the electric department about rebates and rate plans; we have not verified any. |
| Delaware Electric Cooperative | member-owned cooperative | The cooperative runs its own renewable grants, applied for through Energize Delaware, and community solar for about $10 extra a month that does not offset your use. We found no EV rate or rebate. |
| Delmarva Power | investor-owned | Delmarva customers can apply for the state Green Energy Program grant ($0.80 per watt, up to $10,000) and the Solar + Storage Pilot battery grant ($250 per kWh, up to $6,000). Delmarva also has an EV time-of-use rate that needs a second meter (page read Oct. 3, 2026). A base-rate case is pending. |
Program details are from each utility’s own pages (read October 2026). See the Delaware incentives table for statewide credits and a status for every program.
