Senior Citizens and Disabled Resident Credit
Seniors and individuals with disabilities may be eligible to receive a monthly $7.50 credit on their Pepco bill. Residents must be receiving either the D.C. Homestead Deduction or the Senior Citizen/Disabled Property Tax Reduction, and do not receive the Pepco Residential Aid Discount (RAD). Enrollment is automatic and the credit will appear on each monthly bill. If you believe you are eligible for the credit and are not receiving it,
email Pepco or call (202) 496-5830.
Residential Aid Discount (RAD)
This
discount program offers eligible Pepco customers a monthly credit, also known as the Residential Aid Credit (RAC), which covers the full customer charge and energy charge for distribution. It also exempts customers from the Residential Aid Discount surcharge, the Sustainable Energy Trust Fund surcharge, and the Energy Assistance Trust Fund surcharge. Credits for these charges are individually listed on bills as “RAC – Distribution” and “RAC Surcharges.” Customers who use a third-party supplier will still receive the RAC. The full RAC is equal to approximately 25% of a typical RAD customer's bill.
Applications for RAD are administered through the Department of Energy & Environment.
