Online Payment Options for Delmarva Power
1. Log In and Pay Bill Online
This is probably the easiest way to pay your bill if you’ve already set up an account. Just head over to the Delmarva Power website, log into your account, and make your payment.
Pros:
- Available 24/7
- Can view your payment history
- Can schedule future payments
- No need to leave your house
Cons
- Requires internet access
- You’ll need to remember your login info (I always forget mine lol)
2. Pay as a Guest Online
Don’t have an account or don’t wanna log in? No problemo! Delmarva Power lets you make one-time payments as a guest.
What you’ll need:
- Your account number
- Payment method (credit/debit card or banking info)
This is super handy when you’re in a hurry or if you’re paying for someone else, like maybe helping out your elderly parents with their bills.
3. Delmarva Power Mobile App
In 2025, who doesn’t want everything on their phone? The Delmarva Power mobile app makes it easy to pay bills wherever you are.
Features:
- Pay your bill
- View usage
- Report outages
- Set up alerts
I personally love using the app when I’m traveling. Last summer when I was on vacation and suddenly remembered my bill was due, I just pulled out my phone at the beach and paid it in like 2 minutes. Crisis averted!
Automatic Payment Options
1. Direct Debit
With Direct Debit, your payment is automatically withdrawn from your bank account when your bill is due.
How to set it up:
- Log into your online account
- Go to “My Wallet”
- Select “Direct Debit”
- Enter your banking information
I used to forget my payments all the time until I set up Direct Debit. Now I don’t even think about it – the money just comes out automatically and I never have to worry about late fees.
2. Automatic Payment
Similar to Direct Debit, but this option allows you to use a credit or debit card for automatic payments.
Tip: If you use a rewards credit card for this, you can rack up points while paying your utilities. I’ve been doing this for the past year and have earned enough points for a free flight!
In-Person Payment Locations
If you prefer paying in person (or need to pay with cash), Delmarva Power has plenty of authorized payment locations throughout Delaware and Maryland.
Finding a Payment Location Near You
The Delmarva Power website has a convenient tool to find payment locations. Here’s how to use it:
- Visit the “Find a Payment Location” page
- Enter your ZIP code in the search field
- Click “Search”
- The system will show you nearby authorized payment locations
Common authorized payment locations include:
- Western Union
- MoneyGram outlets
- Some grocery stores
- Check cashing services
My experience: I’ve used the Western Union location near my house a few times when I needed to pay with cash. It was pretty quick – just had to show my bill, pay the amount, and they gave me a receipt. The only downside is sometimes there’s a small service fee depending on where you go.

The peace of mind knowing my bill is always paid on time is worth it, plus I can still monitor my usage and costs through the app.
Last January during that crazy cold snap, my bill was almost double the usual amount. I was able to quickly hop on their website, review my usage details, and even arrange a payment plan all without having to call and wait on hold. Pretty sweet!
