NEWARK, Del. - The sluggish economy could pose a hardship for some Delmarva Power customers who are struggling to pay their energy bill. This holiday season, you can help those less fortunate customers by giving them the Gift of Energy.

Gift of Energy payments can be made in person, by check or credit card, at one of the company's participating Delaware Walk-In offices. The program, which is available to both Maryland and Delaware customers, launches today and runs through January 15, 2012.

The program works like this:

• Visit a Delmarva Power Walk-In Office in Delaware;
• Provide customer service with the name and address of the person for whom you're buying the Gift of Energy;
• Make a payment on that person's account; and
• Receive a FREE holiday greeting card to give to that special someone, compliments of Delmarva Power.
