Event connected customers with up to $2,000 in LIHEAP support, PECO programs and community resources
PHILADELPHIA (November 6, 2026) - As families and businesses face rising costs, PECO remains focused on connecting customers with resources that can help ease the burden. That commitment was at the heart of PECO's Energy Assistance Day, where more than 300 customers connected with financial assistance programs and other resources on Thursday, November 5, at the company's Philadelphia headquarters.
The free event brought PECO representatives and community partners together to provide customers with personalized, one-on-one support and connect them with a range of energy assistance resources. This included the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP), which opened for the season on November 2 and provides eligible customers with up to $2,000 in bill assistance. Customers also learned about energy efficiency programs, with assistance available in both English and Spanish to help make these resources more accessible to PECO's diverse communities.
Energy Assistance Day builds on PECO's year-round efforts to connect customers with support and help make their energy costs more manageable. In 2025, the company connected approximately 140,000 customers with more than $170 million in financial assistance through PECO's portfolio of assistance programs.
"We're focused on keeping energy costs as low as possible, and we want our customers to know they don't have to navigate these challenges alone," said Carniesha Kwashie, director of Corporate Community Impact, PECO. "Our Energy Assistance Day brings our team and our community partners together to make it easier for customers to access the resources they need, especially as we approach the winter months."
Helping customers take practical steps to reduce energy use is part of PECO's commitment under The Exelon Promise to support customers today while pursuing the longer-term solutions to address rising energy costs.

Customers can also access a range of assistance programs, including the Customer Assistance Program (CAP), Low-Income Usage Reduction Program (LIURP) and Matching Energy Assistance Fund (MEAF). More information about available assistance programs and eligibility is available at PECO.com/Help.
