Our Plan for an Energy-Efficient Tomorrow

We all contribute to global warming every day. In fact, the average American household releases eight tons of carbon dioxide emissions a year, according to the EPA. Fortunately, we can all help by making a conscious effort to save energy.

Pepco is committed to helping customers use less energy. We already have some Web-based tools in place, and we'll soon be offering more. Together, we can make a measurable contribution to the environment.

More information is available on our proposal to reduce energy costs, enhance reliability and protect the environment.
