A mechanical failure at the Delaware City Refinery that caused releases of sulfur dioxide above permitted levels has been repaired, facility managers announced Thursday.

The refinery, located in New Castle County, had reported emissions of the toxic gas at rates as high as 1,450 per hour for almost three weeks after an emission control device was compromised. The refinery’s boiler is now in full operation, the refinery said.

“A talented team of experts from maintenance, operations, and union contractors worked around the clock to expedite the equipment repair, which was extremely complicated and safely completed,” General Manager Mike Capone said Thursday in a statement.

The Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control said air quality monitoring indicated the pollution did not impact air quality, or public health.

The state has been in the process of creating a state energy plan and a procedure to purchase offshore wind.

Hansen argued that overturning the council’s decision is justified because the state is experiencing electricity supply issues, pushing up utility bills due to having to rely on other states to produce most of its electricity. In 2023, she said, Delaware received about three-fifths of its energy from other states via the regional power grid PJM Interconnection. The grid is made up of 13 states and Washington D.C.

“Broad legislative and administrative programs to specific project permitting have now been upended by the decision of one local government and that one decision has broad implications for all Delawareans,” she said. “That’s why this legislation is so important. This is not state government usurping local control. This is about state government taking back its ability to meaningfully act and protect all Delawareans when it comes to issues of energy pricing, energy supply and energy reliability, these are issues of state level concern.”

US Wind has appealed the county’s denial in Delaware Superior Court, but the legislation could help fast track the project. US Wind CEO Jeffrey Grybowski said last week the company has the necessary federal and state permits to start construction in 2027, except for the substation. He said they anticipate being operational by 2029.

Some Republican senators argued the state should let the court process play out. Hansen called delay “as deadly as denial” because of the time stages of appeal and a possible remand of the court case could take to conclude.

“If there was an easier way to get this done, I can tell you, I’d be doing it,” she said. “Because this is not fun. But there’s not, there’s really not. We have to get to a permit issuance so that this project can go forward.”

Testifying before the Senate on Tuesday, Grybowski argued the project would benefit the Delmarva area, not just Maryland.

“All of the energy we produce will be interconnected into Delaware,” he said. “Maryland will be buying the offshore wind renewable energy credits from the project. All of the energy is sold into the regional grid, which will allow it to benefit everyone in the region, most specifically folks in Delaware.”

The US Wind will give 150,000 renewable energy credits to Delaware utilities annually, estimated at $76 million over 20 years, to help meet new clean energy requirements. Hansen said this will help lower electricity bills.

The legislation moves to the House for consideration.

The ongoing Delaware debate is happening in the shadows of a larger federal fight over wind energy projects. On his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed an executive order pausing approvals, permits and loans for all wind energy projects both onshore and offshore.

A coalition of states, including Delaware and Maryland, has sued to block the order, claiming the White House doesn’t have the authority to unilaterally shut down the permitting process. A hearing on the federal government’s motion to dismiss is scheduled for June 18.
