Associated Press
DOVER — The House Energy and Natural Resources Committee has approved two concurrent resolutions addressing plans for an offshore wind power farm.
One measure would force the state to approve the 150-turbine project proposed by Bluewater Wind. The other would require that Bluewater's electricity costs be spread to all electricity customers in the state, even if they aren't customers of Delmarva Power.
The measures now go to the fill House. A Senate committee is holding separate hearings on the wind power project.
Bluewater wants Delmarva Power to sign a state-ordered power contract, but Delmarva has argued that it can get better prices for non-polluting power from other sources, including on-shore wind farms.
