Outage risk in Delaware

Delaware's outage risk is driven by Atlantic Nor'easters and hurricane-remnant winds along its low-lying coastal plain, plus summer thunderstorm and ice-storm outages across its heavily wooded suburban and rural stretches; Wilmington's dense urban grid sees frequent downed-limb outages, Dover's central location shares the broader Delmarva ice-storm exposure, and Newark's proximity to the Pennsylvania and Maryland borders adds cross-state grid dependency during major regional storms.
