We want to share a few resources that can help you meet your energy needs.

Good Neighbor Energy Fund

Pepco is committed to helping customers who are facing challenges with their electric bill.  We are proud to partner with Interfaith Works and Mary's Center; local 501(c)3 non-profit organizations who provide energy assistance benefits to customers in Pepco's service territory in Maryland.  Interfaith Works and Mary's Center are serving as Pepco's trusted administering partner for the Good Neighbor Energy Fund for Montgomery and Prince George's County.

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.
