As an arctic front approaches, dangerously cold temperatures are expected to impact the District of Columbia this weekend, January 18-20, 2025, and upcoming week. Local residents and visitors are urged to take precautions to protect themselves, their families, and their homes from the potentially hazardous cold.

The Commission has formally initiated an Integrated Distribution System Planning (IDSP) process for the electric distribution system through the issuance of a Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in Formal Case No. 1182. This new initiative seeks to modernize the District’s electric grid to accommodate the growing demands of a clean energy future while enabling the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar power, energy storage, and electric vehicles.

By a vote of two to one, the Commission approved a modified version of Pepco’s 2nd Multiyear Rate Plan (MRP) on an extended pilot basis for Pepco’s electric distribution service in the District of Columbia (Formal Case No. 1176). Commissioner Richard Beverly cast the dissenting vote. This decision establishes electric distribution rates for calendar years 2025 and 2026 while ensuring transparency, accountability, and consumer protection.

The Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia proudly announces the reappointment of Commissioner Richard A. Beverly, effective October 15, 2024, for a new term extending through June 30, 2028.
