Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) was founded by a group of farmers in 1936 to bring the life-changing benefits of electricity to rural Delaware. Farms that once sat dark at night were suddenly illuminated and the lives of thousands of Kent and Sussex County residents were changed forever. Our Co-op was built by those were serve and belongs to those we proudly power. While we are incredibly proud of our past, DEC is also focused on the future, which promises to bring extraordinary changes to the energy industry. Co-op leaders are proud to be taking a proactive role in shaping this energy revolution and are dedicated to making sure members have reliable, affordable, safe and sustainable energy for years to come.
