From helping to pay their energy bills to giving the gift of energy, Pepcoโ€™s Gift of Energy program provides customers options to help ease the financial impacts of the pandemic.

The program allows anyone to purchase credits for Pepco customers โ€” including family and friends โ€” that go toward their energy bills. The Gift of Energy is an easy way to alleviate an energy bill for a loved one or even a local business. All that is needed is the customerโ€™s name and address or phone number associated with the account. The gift will appear on the recipientโ€™s future energy bill as a credit.

โ€œWe want to remind our customers that we are here to help you,โ€ said Donna Cooper, Pepco region president. โ€œAt this time, we are all looking for additional ways to support our local communities. Weโ€™ve suspended service disconnections, waived new late payment charges and more. But itโ€™s also important to empower support within our communities. Through the Gift of Energy, we can help our customers help their friends, families, neighbors or even a local business.โ€

Those interested in making a purchase can do so online at pepco.com/gift or by calling 202-833-7500.
