SALISBURY, Md. (March 28, 2023) — Delmarva Power has received national recognition for the significant impacts its energy efficiency programs are having in helping to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and providing millions of dollars in savings for Maryland customers on their energy bills. The company has received the 2023 ENERGY STAR® Partner of the Year: Sustained Excellence Award for Energy Efficiency Program Delivery from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE). This is the seventh year Delmarva Power has received this recognition for the company's energy efficiency programs in Maryland, which are helping customers better understand and manage their energy use and save money.

"Energy efficiency is one of biggest components to the comprehensive approach to addressing the impacts of climate change and as we continue to move toward a cleaner energy future," said Morlon Bell-Izzard, senior vice president and chief customer officer for Pepco Holdings. "Our energy efficiency programs provide customers small and large with the tools and resources they need to make more informed decisions about their energy use, ultimately helping them save energy and make their electric service more affordable."

The Sustained Excellence designation is awarded to companies that continue to exhibit exceptional leadership year after year in the ENERGY STAR program while remaining dedicated to environmental protection through superior energy efficiency achievements.

"As we accelerate historic efforts to address climate change, public-private partnerships will be essential to realizing the scale of our ambition," said EPA Administrator Michael S. Regan. "I applaud this year's ENERGY STAR award winners for working with EPA to deliver a clean energy future that saves American consumers and businesses money and creates jobs."
