Interview Opportunity: Interviews are available upon request by contacting the PECO Media Relations line at 215-841-5555.

PHILADELPHIA (December 3, 2025) - Applications for the Low-Income Home Energy Assistance Program (LIHEAP) open on December 3. PECO encourages eligible customers to apply early for this federally funded program, which provides grants of up to $1,000 to help income-qualified households pay their energy bills. Assistance is available while funds last and are distributed on a first-come, first-served basis.

Energy affordability remains a priority for PECO, and the company is committed to advocating for financial relief programs and connecting customers to the assistance they need. Last season, LIHEAP helped approximately 40,000 PECO customers, providing nearly $17 million in assistance. This year, PECO is encouraging customers who are eligible for LIHEAP funding to apply, so they do not miss out on this critical support.

"We know rising energy supply prices - driven by increased demand and a lack of electric supply - are creating challenges for many families," said Kelly Colarelli, PECO Vice President, Customer Operation. "Although PECO doesn't control these supply costs, we're here to help. Our priority is making sure customers have access to programs and resources that can provide meaningful relief and we urge customers to apply for LIHEAP now while funding is available."

Customers can apply for LIHEAP funding at www.peco.com/liheap or by calling 800-34-HELP4.

PECO recognizes the concerns around increasing costs and the economic challenges many are facing right now and wants to make certain customers understand all the options available for bill payment, including access to other available assistance programs in addition to LIHEAP. Customers can visit peco.com/help to utilize PECO's Assistance Finder for personalized recommendations that best meet their energy assistance needs.
