The City of Seaford Electric Dept. provides electric power to approximately 6700 customers (3600 electric meters) within the city limits. The city owns and maintains 3 substations and over 37 miles of transmission & distribution lines, overhead and underground. This complex network of lines and substations is maintained by a highly trained and dedicated staff of 7 linemen, 1 Construction Coordinator, the Electric Dept. Superintendent and the Director of Power. The Seaford Electric Dept. is committed to providing its customers with the most cost effective and reliable power possible.

 

In 2008 the City of Seaford purchased more than 114.2 million KWH of energy for distribution to its customers. Our peak demand was 25,400 KW in 2007. Its association with the Delaware Municipal Electric Corp. (DEMEC) allows the city to purchase electric energy at some of the lowest rates possible while maintaining price stability in a volatile energy market. DEMEC is a joint action agency consisting of 9 municipal electric utilities in the state of Delaware. You can learn more about DEMEC at www.demecinc.net.
