NEWARK — Delmarva Power recently hosted a virtual energy-assistance summit, providing a forum for nonprofits and other community partners to hear directly from state and industry leaders and energy-assistance experts about available resources to support Delaware and Maryland energy customers with their bills.

The collaborative summit delivered much-needed information to organizations that work to connect local residents facing hardships with energy-assistance options. Delmarva Power is reminding customers who may be financially impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic to contact their energy providers now to establish payment arrangements and get connected to customer-assistance programs that can help get their accounts up to date.

During 2020, Delmarva Power’s efforts helped more than 21,000 customers secure more than $19 million in energy assistance.
