Customer Assistance Program - Percentage of Income Payment Plan (CAP-PIPP)

​PECO's Customer Assistance Program (CAP) has become even simpler and more affordable by converting to a Percentage of Income Payment Plan (CAP-PIPP). Participating customers will see these improvements on their PECO bill.


Our new and improved CAP-PIPP provides customers with an affordable, fixed, monthly PECO bill.

  • With the new CAP-PIPP, customers simply pay a percentage of their total household income as their monthly PECO bill. That number could change if the customer’s household income changes, or if the household reaches its annual maximum credit.
  • PECO will charge CAP customers whichever is less, either the fixed CAP PIPP bill amount or charges based on actual usage. CAP customers are also subject to a minimum monthly bill ($10 for electric, $20 for electric heating, and $20 for gas).
  • For first-time CAP-PIPP enrollees, your past-due balance may be forgiven, allowing you to start fresh with a bill you can afford.

CAP-PIPP Eligibility:

  • PECO must be your energy supplier
  • Your total gross household income must be at or below 150% of the annual Federal Poverty Level (FPL).

How PECO Determines a Customer's Payment Amount:

A customer's monthly CAP-PIPP amount will be a percentage of their household income based on the Federal Poverty Level chart above. (An annual maximum credit may apply.)

CAP-PIPP Requirements:

  • Verify total gross household income every two years, or when requested
  • Participate in the Low-Income Usage Reduction Program (LIURP), if your household is identified as a high energy user
  • Report any change in your household income to PECO right away
  • Pay your PECO bill in full and on time each month once
    enrolled in CAP-PIPP to avoid collection activity

In addition, you must use PECO for your electric and natural gas supply to qualify. You cannot be enrolled with a competitive supplier, and you also cannot participate in PECO Budget Billing.
