Pepco is urging customers in need of financial assistance to apply for a wide array of programs it says has millions of dollars of funding still available, one year into the coronavirus pandemic.
The utility company said it remains committed to helping District and Maryland customers who are struggling to pay their power bills on time — through partnerships and grants including the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program, Utility Discount Program and Electric Universal Service Program.
LIHEAP, for instance, offers grants in varying amounts based on a customer’s household income and type of dwelling with no payback required. Pepco said Maryland customers could qualify for more than $1,000 through the program, while District-based customers could qualify for $1,800. To apply for LIHEAP compensation, visit the Maryland Department of Human Services or the D.C. Department of Energy and the Environment online.
