Delaware Electric Cooperative Website Redesign & Development
A Utility Company Built on Customer Service & Savings
Delaware Electric Co-Op was formed in 1936 by a group of farmers in southern Delaware. The major utilities at the time wouldn’t invest the capital to expand the electrical infrastructure to rural areas, so farmers formed a non-profit utility and financed rural electrification themselves. DEC has changed a lot since the 1930s, but we are still member-owned. Delaware Electric Cooperative (DEC) is a unique utility and our business model is strikingly different from investor-owned utilities. DEC's only goal is to do what’s best for our members.

The Challenge:
Delaware Electric Coop sought us out to recreate their site and refresh their user experience with a mobile-friendly responsive design. Their goal was to build a higher level of interactivity with their end users as the focus. As part of that project, they were looking for a way to present data from their solar farm in a simple and attractive format, using the SunEdison API.
Our Solution:
We re-architectured the site to make it more useful for the target audience and integrated it with SmartHub, their customer account management software. To create a solution for the solar farm data, we built a custom Drupal module that pulled data from the SunEdison API into live-feed charts and a visual dashboard on their home page. DEC was so pleased with the work we did that they came to us to do the next iteration of their site, which was a first for them.
The Result:
Another Delaware Organization, we love it!
Our collaboration with Delaware Electric Co-Op always ends up with an amazing result; and this definitely did not stray away from the norm.
All of the work going into this was customer-centric, with a goal to produce results that not only will improve management for the DEC Team but most importantly make the experience useful and straightforward for those using the company's services.
Here are snapshots we took along our journey together.
