Delaware State Senate - Republican Caucus
Under the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), our state met and exceeded its emissions reduction goals back in 2015, more than a decade ago. However, the costs tied to RGGI have not gone away and continue to be passed directly onto your electric bill.
That is why Senate Republican Leader Gerald Hocker introduced Senate Bill 65 (SB 65), which was heard in the Senate Environment, Energy, & Transportation Committee this past Wednesday.
SB 65 would remove Delaware from RGGI and be a meaningful first step toward easing the burden on working families and small businesses.
Instead of giving thoughtful consideration to a bill that would actually help Delaware ratepayers, the chairwoman opted to stifle debate and limit questions from Republican committee members.
Senator Hocker and our caucus remain committed to seeking solutions that will lower your energy bills and attract energy generators to our state.
