Delmarva Power today announced the expansion of the Delmarva Power Customer Relief Fund in collaboration with local nonprofit partners.  An additional $500,000 will be added to the existing fund supporting customers across Delaware and Maryland. The additional contribution comes from Delmarva Power’s parent company Exelon and brings Delmarva Power’s direct customer assistance efforts to address energy affordability to $6.5 million in the past year.

“We know rising energy supply costs are putting real strain on families, especially during these cold winter months,” said Tyler Anthony, President and CEO of Pepco Holdings. “Our goal is to be a steady source of support that our customers can count on, not just in moments of need, but as part of a long-term commitment to affordability and reliability. Since launching the Delmarva Power Customer Relief Fund last year, thousands of Delaware residents have received assistance, and with this expanded contribution, we’re helping even more customers manage today’s challenges while continuing work toward a future where energy remains reliable and accessible for all.”

“Rising costs are putting real pressure on families across Delaware, and reliable energy is something no household should be without. Community organizations are often the very first place people seek comfort, guidance, and support when they’re struggling,” said United Way of Delaware CEO Michelle Taylor. “This funding will help us continue serving residents, supporting those in need, and strengthening the community during periods of heightened need. We’re honored to team up with Delmarva Power on this important initiative.”
