Relief From Rising Energy Costs Available To Pepco Customers In Prince George's

PRINCE GEORGE'S COUNTY, MD — Pepco customers with limited or moderate income can apply for up to $300 in relief from energy cost challenges fueled by colder weather and higher energy supply costs.

Eligible customers include active residential customers with a balance of at least $250 on energy bills and a household that meets certain income guidelines. Applications are available today.

The assistance comes with an expansion of Pepco's Customer Relief Fund in collaboration with the Salvation Army, which is providing an additional $1.5 million to support customers in need throughout the District and Montgomery and Prince George’s counties. The Salvation Army will administer funds to eligible customers across the District and Maryland.

“We know rising energy supply costs are putting real strain on families, especially during these cold winter months,” said Tyler Anthony, president and CEO of Pepco Holdings. “Our goal is to be a steady source of support that our customers can count on, not just in moments of need, but as part of a long-term commitment to affordability and reliability. Since launching the Pepco Customer Relief Fund last year, thousands of District of Columbia and Maryland residents have received assistance, and with this expanded contribution, we’re helping even more customers manage today’s challenges while continuing work toward a future where energy remains reliable and accessible for all.”

To learn more about the Customer Relief Fund and apply, Maryland customers can visit pepco.com/ReliefMD or through the Salvation Army at sahelp.org.
