Washington, D.C. (Nov. 25, 2019) – Pepco has made enhancements to its online interactive outage map to provide customers with more helpful information during storm and power outage events. These enhancements can help customers better plan when outage events occur by delivering more weather and system status information during critical events. Some enhancements customers will experience include:
"During severe weather events and related power outages, Pepco understands customers want critical and personalized information as soon as possible," said Donna Cooper, Pepco region president. "With this in mind, we are always looking at ways to enhance the customer experience by providing more information that can help our customers make decisions when their service is impacted. While we are working every day to prevent those outages that can be prevented, we know outages do occur, and this enhanced map will help ensure our customers have the latest and best information possible."
Pepco's outage map is available at Pepco.com/Outages. Additionally, Pepco's outage map is accessible through its mobile app for iPhone and Android® smart phones and gives customers the ability to report power outages and manage the type of alert they choose to receive.
