[PR] Pepco Taking Steps to Support Customers During Coronavirus Pandemic
At Pepco, safety is our top priority.
As part of our commitment to safety, we are closely monitoring developments related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and taking appropriate precautions to protect the health and safety of our customers, employees and contractors. To help ensure the safety of our customers and employees, we are closely following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, eliminating all non-essential travel and abiding by all travel restrictions, and limiting large internal and external meetings and gatherings. We are also ensuring our essential employees who regularly interact with customers have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to perform their jobs safely.
How will COVID-19 impact my energy service?
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. Importantly, Pepco is suspending service disconnections and waiving new late payment charges at least until May 1 and will be working with customers on a case-by-case basis to establish payment arrangements and identify energy assistance options.
How will COVID-19 impact other Pepco services?
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.
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.
