    COMMUNITY FOCUS Pepco Celebrates Utility Workers In celebration of July’s National Lineworker Appreciation Day, Pepco saluted the men and women who work tirelessly, day-in and day-out, to provide safe and reliable energy services to Maryland and the District of Columbia. Pepco depends upon 340 utility workers who operate and maintain electric systems and respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week, often in challenging conditions, and on weekends and holidays to keep the lights on for customers. “I would like to commend our lineworkers who work daily to maintain and improve the core electric infrastructure that powers our homes and businesses,” said Donna M. Cooper, Pepco region president. “We appreciate and depend on their commitment and dedication to our customers and each other to perform this critical work safely and effciently.” To honor the nation’s lineworkers, a resolution was introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives designating July 10, 2016 as National Lineworker Appreciation Day. Pepco joins utility companies across the nation including Exelon sister utilities Atlantic City Electric, BGE, ComEd, Delmarva Power and PECO in honoring all utility workers – both on the lines and in the feld. Pepco Receives ‘Utility of the Year’ Award for Easing Access to Solar Pepco’s effort to make it easier, faster and less expensive for customers to access solar has been hailed as a national model by the Smart Electric Power Alliance (SEPA), an infuential solar organization. SEPA named Pepco 2016 Utility of the Year and recognized the company for promoting solar, creating programs that drive smart utility growth and expanding access to solar for customers.
