Exelon Corporation is in the process of acquiring Pepco Holdings, Inc., including Pepco’s Maryland operating companies: Potomac Electric Power Company (Pepco), and Delmarva Power & Light Company (Delmarva Power). Why does the merger of Exelon and Pepco Holdings matter for affordable housing? Tens of millions of dollars are at stake!  To show that the merger is in the public interest, Exelon is proposing to create a Customer Investment Fund (CIF) and how these funds are to be used will be up to the MD PSC. HOUSING& has joined the National Housing Trust in an effort to ensure the proposed merger is in the public interest.

Hearings will be held starting today through January 14th in different parts of Maryland. The hearings will provide an opportunity for the MD PSC commissioners to learn about why improving the energy efficiency of multifamily affordable housing is in the public interest. For questions on this effort, please contact Todd Nedwick at [email protected] or 202-333-8931 x 128.
