PEPCO is a unit of Exelon Corporation which services over 10 million customers across the united states. PEPCO also gives back to the community by focusing on employee giving campaigns, strategic partnerships, and hands-on volunteering, which collectively address social services, educational support (including STEM and HBCU scholarships), and environmental sustainability initiatives. These efforts include record-breaking donations to organizations like the United Way, supporting mental health advocacy, and funding local projects aimed at park restoration and enhancing eco-friendly infrastructure.

What is PEPCO Energy Choice?
By default, PEPCO customers receive both their electricity delivery and supply through PEPCO. By participating in Energy Choice, PEPCO customers can choose their electricity provider and realize potential savings over the default rate that PEPCO charges for the supply of electricity.
There are over 100 electricity providers that PEPCO customers can choose from, ranging from small, local electric companies to large national providers like Constellation and Direct Energy.

Understanding Your PEPCO Electricity Bill
There are two separate types of charges on your PEPCO electric bill, delivery charges, and supply charges. With Energy Choice, you can take control of your electricity supply charges by switching electricity providers.
PEPCO Delivery Charges
Delivery charges generally go to PEPCO and are there to support the delivery of your electricity. These charges do not change when you switch electricity providers since the Maryland Public Service Commission sets them for each utility in the state.
Supply Charges
Supply charges are charges for the electricity that you use. The cost for your energy supply is what changes when you switch electricity providers. You can compare electricity plans by using the electricity supply rate on your bill.
