With competition among electricity generators comes the ability for you to choose which company that generates your electricity. The price for electricity is now determined by the competitive marketplace, not a regulatory body. For a comparison of residential rates, go to www.dcpsc.org.

What has not changed is the way electricity travels to your home or business. Pepco still delivers the electricity over the same poles and wires and the District of Columbia Public Service Commission continues to regulate Pepco’s distribution services. And, when the power goes out, you still call Pepco at
1-877-PEPCO-62 to have service restored.
