The Rewards

Winners for each category will receive a $300 credit on their bill, which is approximately three summer month bills (July 2019 average residential consumption was 839 kWhs, which is a $99.48 bill). If not a Pepco customer, winners can give the “Gift of Energy” and assign the $300 credit to a relative or friend or donate the $300 to a nonprofit of their choice. The winners in each category will also be announced on Energy Efficiency Day 2021, which was established as the first Wednesday of October by a Mayoral Proclamation and a Ceremonial Resolution by the Council of the District of Columbia.
