Per Pepco:
Pepco and the Salvation Army are working closely to provide limited- and moderate-income Pepco customers with meaningful relief in the coming months, as customers will likely see another increase in energy costs driven by increasing energy supply costs as demand rises and supply is not there to meet it.
Beginning early July, the fund will be open to active, limited income customers who are income qualified for federal and state energy assistance programs and have at least $250 in arrearages over the past 60+ days. Moderate income customers who meet certain income eligibility requirements may also be eligible for support. Approved grants will be credited to the customer’s Pepco account.
To apply or learn more, customers should visit

or call 202-833-7500. Similar funds will be announced for Pepco customers in the District in the coming weeks.
A New Source for Relief:
The Customer Relief Fund is a new and one-time program in addition to Pepco’s existing efforts to make energy affordable and to help customers manage their bills. Customers can visit
