Delaware officials and PJM are in sharp dispute over the benefits and cost of a transmission line for the Artificial Island nuclear complex in New Jersey.
Delaware officials claim that its residents will be paying 90 percent of the cost but will only receive 10% of the benefits.
But PJM officials say that’s not true.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that PJM’s vice president Steve Herling says that Delaware will pick up 60 percent of the cost but would receive most of the benefits.
The paper reports that Delaware Public Advocate David Bonar says this was the first time he had heard the new numbers adding that the Delaware figures were based on the company’s figures.
The transmission line will connect the nuclear complex to the substation near Red Lion.
Delaware officials have asked federal regulators to review their decision putting the cost on state customers.
