At Atlantic City Electric, safety is our top priority.
As part of our commitment to safety, we continue to monitor developments related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and take appropriate precautions to protect the health and safety of our customers, employees and contractors.
We are closely following the guidance of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and our essential employees who regularly interact with customers have the appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) to perform their jobs safely.
We will be working with customers on a case-by-case basis to establish payment arrangements and identify energy assistance options. Customers who may be challenged in paying their Atlantic City Electric bill should contact Atlantic City Electric Customer Care at 1-800-642-3780. To offer continued assistance for customers impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, Atlantic City Electric is extending its customer support policies, through at least June 30, which includes suspending service disconnections, waiving new late fees, and reconnecting customers who were previously disconnected. We will work with residents on an individual basis who have had their service disconnected, to reconnect service, and help ensure access to safe and healthy environments.
Customers can begin this process by calling 1-800-642-3780.
Atlantic City Electric will work with customers who may have difficulty paying their energy bill.
