AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoDelaware Energy Crunch: Delaware is still last in the country for energy production and leans hard on the PJM grid—so when supply tightens, residents and businesses feel it. The new focus: permitting reform. A big barrier is slow, overlapping, and sometimes duplicative approvals that can drag energy projects for years, even as demand is projected to jump 32% by 2030. Air Pollution Watch: Delaware City Refinery repairs are set to push emissions higher again for weeks, with officials pointing to maintenance-related changes in how gases are captured. Tick Season Alert: CDC data shows tick-bite ER visits are up nationwide, and Delaware has multiple stable tick species—so prevention matters. Clean Slate Delay: Delaware’s automatic expungement law is moving slowly because state police are manually reviewing eligibility, leaving many people stuck with records that should’ve cleared. Local Life: Wilmington tree-trimming responsibilities are split between the city and Delmarva, and staffing limits are slowing responses.
