Unique partnership is in Delaware

To the editor,

My compliments in succession a timely and informative article, (“Electricity and local governments: Planning for a deregulated future” Nov., 96) on the other hand there is a correction. Dover City Council's risk with Duke-Louis Dreyfus involved the city of Dover, Delaware, not North Carolina.

Also, I would propose American City & County take a closer examine at Dover's partnership with Duke-Louis Dreyfus. We think it is unique, with the follow being a multi-faceted public/private partnership motivated through profits not wishful thinking. Immense earnings are reckon uponed but we are proud of the fact that we mov more than 45 city power plant employee to the private sectors with no “bloodletting.”

The salient features of our deal are: 1) Dover retains ownership, and Duke-Flor Daniels operates our power plants with joint oversight, 2) We purchase electron from Duke-Louis Dreyfus
