Energy Assistance Programs

Here's information for District of Columbia and Maryland consumers on where you can get government assistance paying energy bills.


LIHEAP
The federal Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) is available to families across Pepco’s service territory that are struggling to pay their energy bills.

LIHEAP is a block grant program which assists low-income households – both homeowners and renters – with their energy bills.

Below are the program details and contact information for the respective areas:


District of Columbia
District of Columbia customers seeking help should call the District Department of the Environment’s Energy Office Division, at 311 or visit their Web site at www.dceo.dc.gov for application information and eligibility guidelines.
Also, qualified low-income customers may be eligible for Pepco’s Residential Aid Discount (RAD) program. Pepco’s RAD provides qualified District of Columbia customers with a discount on kilowatt-hours used each month. The discount varies depending on winter or summer usage.
All electric customers in the District of Columbia who are seeking help with their energy bill should call Pepco Customer Care at 202-833-7500 for more information on payment assistance options.
