At Pepco, safety is our top priority.
As part of our commitment to safety, we continue to monitor developments related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and take appropriate precautions to protect the health and safety of our customers, employees and contractors.
We are closely following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and our essential employees who regularly interact with customers have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to perform their jobs safely.
We will work with residents on an individual basis who have had their service disconnected, to reconnect service, and help ensure access to safe and healthy environments.
Customers can begin this process by calling 202-833-7500.
Pepco will work with customers who may have difficulty paying their energy bill.

In addition to encouraging customers to utilize the digital tools that are available through pepco.com or the Pepco Mobile App, we are taking precautions to help ensure that our customers, employees and contractors are protected when there is a need to perform work at homes or businesses.
Occasionally, Pepco employees and contractors require access to the interiors of customers' homes and businesses to access equipment such as indoor electric meters. All employees are being educated on the signs and symptoms of the coronavirus, and any employee who may have symptoms will be evaluated by a medical professional and self-quarantined as a precaution for their health and the health of others.
It may be necessary for employees to wear PPE, such as facemasks and gloves while working in a location, as a precaution to protect employees and customers.
We will always contact you in advance of work being performed at your property, except in the case of an emergency requiring immediate access where you will be contacted on-site. When contacted, please share any health concerns with our representative so we can ensure you get the service and care you need.
We are committed to performing our critical role, delivering clean, safe, reliable and affordable energy for our customers and communities. We have robust plans to provide continued energy service for our customers and do not foresee any issues meeting our customers' energy needs.
At this time, Pepco will continue to respond to requests to start, stop or more service, which in many cases, can be done remotely, without accessing customer homes or businesses. In cases where accessing a building is necessary, our employees and contractors are being advised to take appropriate action, such as wearing appropriate PPE to perform their jobs safely.
Our billing centers have been closed for customer safety, however, customers may continue to conduct regular business with Pepco 24/7 using pepco.com or the Pepco Mobile App. From the Pepco mobile app, customers can view and pay their bill, report electric outages, and register for alerts.
