Pepco, a Washington, D.C-based energy company, has submitted its First Quarter 2025 Performance Tracking Metrics (PTMs) Report to the Public Service Commission of the District of Columbia. The report outlines the company's progress in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, implementing peak demand reduction measures, and promoting distributed energy resources (DERs). The report is organized by topic, including GHG emissions reduction, CEMI-3, Peak Demand Reduction, and DERs, and provides background and data for each performance tracking metric.

Key Takeaways:

  • Pepco's GHG emissions reduction efforts focus on reducing emissions from its operations, including building electricity use, sulfur hexafluoride (SF6) emissions from operational equipment, and fuel consumed by vehicles owned by Pepco.
  • The company reports that its GHG emissions from District operations totaled 14,871 tons of CO2e in Q1 2025, a decrease of 15.6% compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Pepco's Peak Demand Reduction program aims to reduce peak demand by 10% through the installation of energy storage systems and demand response programs.
  • The company reports that Q1 2025 peak demand was 3,210 MW, a reduction of 7.4% compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Pepco's Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) program aims to promote the use of on-site renewable energy generation and energy storage systems.
  • The company reports that Q1 2025 DERs capacity was 10 MW, a 25% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
  • Pepco is committed to meeting the District's renewable portfolio standard (RPS) requirements, which aim to generate 100% of the District's electricity from renewable sources by 2032.
  • The company's CEMI-3 program focuses on improving the safety and reliability of its electrical grid through the implementation of advanced technologies and procedures.
  • Pepco is working with the Commission Staff to review and revise its Performance Tracking Metrics (PTMs) Report to ensure compliance with Commission regulations.
