PECO customers will be able to apply for assistance through United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. Customers can learn more at peco.com/Relief.
“At United Way, our mission is to fight poverty and expand opportunity for every person in every community we serve,” said Bill Golderer, President and CEO of United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey. “The PECO Customer Relief Fund will provide vital support to families who are working hard but still struggling to make ends meet. We are proud to partner with PECO to deliver meaningful, immediate relief—and to continue our work together toward long-term solutions that lift more families out of poverty.”
How the PECO Customer Relief Fund Will Work:
PECO and United Way of Greater Philadelphia and Southern New Jersey are working closely to provide limited- and moderate-income PECO customers with meaningful relief in the coming months, as customers will likely see an increase in their energy bills driven by warmer weather and increasing energy supply costs as energy demands rise and supply is not there to meet it.
To be eligible for the funds, residential customers must be in arrears, and their household income fall between 151% and 300% of the Federal Poverty Level, which would enable a family of four making between $48,547 and $96,450 per year to qualify. If eligible, customers will see relief from high energy bills in the form of a one-time credit on their PECO bill once their application is approved and processed.
