Get assistance on your electric bill

With millions of dollars in assistance available for customers who may be struggling to pay their energy bills, Delmarva Power says customers need to act now to secure these essential funds while they last.

Delmarva Power works with community partners to connect customers with grants and funding like the Low Income Home Energy Assistance Program.

LIHEAP provides grants in varying amounts based on a household’s income size, type of fuel and type of dwelling, with no payback required. Customers who may have never qualified for energy assistance may now qualify based on their current financial situation.

Customers could earn more than $1,000 in assistance from LIHEAP alone.
In Delaware, people can apply for LIHEAP energy assistance by visiting the Department of Health and Social Services website  or by calling 654-9295 in New Castle County, 674-1782 in Kent County or 856-6310 in Sussex County.

Other programs supporting Delaware and Maryland customers include the Good Neighbor Energy Fund. Learn more at Delmarva Power's website.

The most important step that customers who are past due on their Delmarva Power bills can take is to contact the company at (800) 375-7117 or via its website as soon as possible.
