We want to share a few resources that can help you meet your energy needs.
Do you need help paying rent or associated utilities because of the COVID-19 pandemic? You may be eligible for rent and utility relief through the state of Maryland or your local government if COVID-19 has affected your ability to pay rent and utility bills.
Local jurisdictions in Maryland are operating rental and utility assistance programs independently. Please visit rentrelief.maryland.gov or call the Maryland Emergency Rental Assistance Call Center at 877-546-5595 to access the program details for your county and to apply for assistance.
Pepco is committed to helping customers who are facing challenges with their electric bill. We are proud to partner with a local nonprofit who provides energy assistance benefits to customers in Pepco's service territory in Maryland.
The Good Neighbor Energy Fund is designed to help customers who are facing hardships. You can help a Pepco Maryland customer in need of assistance with their electric bill by contributing to the fund. Pepco will match customer contributions $100,000.

Pepco Bill Pay
Whether you receive your bill electronically or through the mail, you can pay exactly $1.00 over your Pepco bill amount and that dollar will be contributed to the Good Neighbor Energy Fund. The amount you contribute must be exactly $1.00 over your billed amount; amounts over $1.00 will not be recognized as a contribution and will result in a credit to your account.
You can make a $1.00 contribution each time you pay your Pepco bill.
Each time you make a $1.00 contribution, the amount will be reflected on your Pepco bill summary the following month.
Thank you for partnering with Pepco and supporting the Good Neighbor Energy Fund! Together we can make a difference.
*The program is administered through the Maryland Department of Human Resources, Office of Home Energy Programs.
The Office of People's Counsel, Maryland's state agency has created a toolkit and instructional videos to help Maryland residents apply for energy assistance during the pandemic: Energy Assistance Toolkit
