Pepco Announces Peak Savings Day

Maryland Customers and District Customers can Save Money by Saving Energy
WASHINGTON, D.C. Pepco asks all of its customers to conserve energy on Tuesday, July 21 as
an increased demand for electricity throughout the Mid-Atlantic region is anticipated. The power
supply in the region is expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated high demand.
For Pepco Maryland customers, the Maryland Public Service Commission has approved Peak
Energy Savings Credit. It rewards Pepco Maryland customers by offering bill credits when Maryland
customers reduce energy use at home during Peak Savings Days. Tomorrows Peak Savings Day
conservation period will be called from 2-6 p.m. Pepco Maryland customers will automatically receive
a phone call giving the hours for reducing energy use. Customers can also choose to be notified by
email or text.
Pepco Maryland customers who reduce energy use below their specified baseline during the
specific hours of the Peak Savings Day can receive a credit of $1.25 off their bill for every kilowatt
hour (kWh) of reduced usage, through the Peak Energy Savings Credit program.
For Maryland and District of Columbia customers participating in Pepcos voluntary Energy
Wise Rewards program, a conservation period will be called from 2-6 p.m., Tuesday. This means that
Pepco will cycle the participants air conditioner compressors off and on for short intervals during
these hours. Because the air conditioner fans will continue to run, most customers will not notice a
temperature change in their home, and those who do should experience only a 1-to 3-degree change.
It may take up to a half-hour after the event ends at 6 p.m. for air conditioners to resume normal
operations.
