For Immediate Release
May 10, 2000

Pepco and the other PJM Power Pool companies providing electricity to 22 million customers in the mid-Atlantic area have cancelled previously issued emergency energy conservation appeals.

Although lower demand for electricity is expected today than has been experienced during the past few unseasonably hot days, customers are reminded to continue to use energy wisely as the weather conditions are uncertain and constantly changing.

Pepco thanks customers for voluntarily conserving energy this week and for their continued cooperation.
