Nearly a quarter of all DC residents are behind on their bills to Pepco, according to mandated reporting from the utility. While disconnection notices have fallen since July, debt to Pepco remains steady for most residents, showcasing the rising instability of utility costs.
July’s heatwave and increased energy prices saw Pepco’s revenue jump over $20 million in a single month. With this increased burden on customers, disconnection notices increased by around 6,000, which is a 47.6% increase compared to June.
