I spoke to the Energy Office this morning. The word is that the new board will not be seated before the RFP goes out. This is sad. Apparently, Gov. Minner has signed the bill into law, but she has not yet appointed the new board. Whether or not the SEU Task Force is legal and whether or not they are acting in the best interest of the people of Delaware, the appearance that this RFP is being rushed out to the market is disappointing.
The new oversight board will either be stuck with the previous board’s RFP or they will frustrate the bidders by issuing a revamped RFP during the process. We have another chance to talk to the SEU at the end of the month. I’ll keep you posted.
