WASHINGTON - This holiday season, Pepco is offering a gift that is sure to brighten anyone's life - the gift of energy.

"We're pleased to offer customers the option to give that special someone a gift of energy, particularly since these are tough times for many people who may struggle to pay their energy bills," said Vice President of Customer Care Charles R. Dickerson.

Gift of energy payments can be made by cash, check or money order at one of the company's customer service centers, where a representative can assist with the purchase.

The way it works is simple, just:

• Visit a Pepco Customer Service Center today;
• Provide the cashier with the name and address of the person you're buying the gift of energy for;
• Make a payment on that special someone's account; and
• Receive a free holiday greeting card to give to that special someone, compliments of Pepco.
