Helping Pepco Holdings Inc secure $168m in funding from the US Department of Energy

Pepco Holdings Inc, a US utility company serving 1.9 million customers, was applying for stimulus funding from the US Department of Energy. To secure the funding, Pepco needed to assemble a plan covering all of their smart grid projects and initiatives, including detail on how each smart grid project was tied to concrete benefits for customers, the environment and job creation.

The joint PA and Pepco team analysed all the smart grid documentation relevant to the funding application.

The team then traced each project to specific growth and society. This was expanded into a comprehensive strategy, with detailed reports for each smart grid project, forming the basis of Pepco’s funding application.

As a result of the strategy PA helped develop, Pepco was awarded $168 million of stimulus funding for projects in New Jersey, Maryland and the District of Columbia.
