A message from Delmarva Power
Dear Community & Governmental Partners:
With summer on the way, Delmarva Power wants you to know that we are ready. We have taken steps to prepare the local energy grid to meet increased customer demand and help ensure continued affordable and reliable energy service for our customers. Our crews have performed maintenance and inspections to prepare the grid for severe weather and help keep homes cool and bright and businesses operational all summer long.
As part of our preparedness for the summer, we conduct emergency response drills and complete testing of computer and emergency systems as part of our summer preparedness program. Employees from across the company review emergency processes and procedures to help ensure a safe and efficient response to storms or emergencies. We share best practices with our sister companies, Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, PECO and Pepco, and participate in emergency response training exercises to ensure we can provide seamless support and resources during a storm or emergency restoration effort. This practice of collaborating and sharing resources demonstrates the benefits of being part of the Exelon family of companies.
Every day, we are committed to providing safe, reliable and clean energy service, while helping to maintain affordability for our customers and communities. Our customers depend on reliable energy service to power their lives. We are investing every day in our systems to meet the growing energy needs of our customers and to provide a world-class customer experience. Delmarva Power’s efforts to reinforce the local energy grid, add new technology and smart devices and target projects to increase resiliency against more frequent and impactful weather events, resulted in customers experiencing the lowest frequency of electric outages ever in 2023. Delmarva Power’s investments strengthen the grid against increasingly frequent and impactful weather events as a result of climate change and supports efforts to enable clean energy resources like solar and electric vehicles. Delmarva Power’s 2023 reliability improvement and resiliency projects feature the installation of innovative technologies to improve system reliability, such as specialized equipment, like smart switches and reclosers to automatically detect issues and restore service faster by automatically isolating damage. These technologies have been a major driver in the continued reduction in outages for customers. Ongoing infrastructure investments will help support strong reliability for customers and help meet the growing energy demands of communities across Delaware.
Delmarva Power takes the responsibility of providing its customers with safe, reliable and affordable energy service very seriously. This includes being prepared for whatever Mother Nature might bring us at any time of the year. We encourage others, including our customers, to be prepared as well. Please help us bring this important information into your community by sharing these steps that can be taken to prepare for summer storms.

We monitor local weather reports regularly and if severe storms are forecasted to hit, we follow the advice of local emergency management officials. We follow a strategic response plan to restore service, addressing live wires or potentially life-threatening situations first, followed by high-voltage transmission lines and equipment, which restore service to the largest number of affected customers. We also prioritize public health and safety facilities, like hospitals, police and fire stations and water treatment plants and work to restore service in your community safely and as quickly as possible. To learn more about our restoration process, visit delmarva.com/Restoration.

We are committed to keeping every customer connected with extended payment arrangements and working to help them secure important energy assistance. We care about our customers and have a wide range of payment options we offer based on their individual account and household income. Many of these arrangements can be made quickly and easily by calling 800-375-7117 or by visiting our website at delmarvapower.com/EnergyAssistance.
We also continue to help our customers realize the benefits of energy efficiency, educating customers on the important tips and programs available to help them reduce their energy usage and help them save money.
