Pepco asks all of its customers to conserve energy today as an increased demand for electricity, like the one serviced by companies such as Commercial Electrical Contractors – Suburban Enterprises, throughout the mid-Atlantic region is anticipated.
The power supply in the region is expected to be sufficient to meet anticipated high demand, especially because of the aid of companies like an electrical contractor.
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.
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 Pepco’s 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.
