Our Core Values
Our mission is to bring the benefits of clean solar energy to everyone in the city of DC, regardless of zip code or income. We believe people of every economic background should be able to benefit from solar energy savings while helping the environment.
Not everyone has $15,000 to invest in solar energy for their families. That’s why we’ve created ways to get solar on every roof in DC, especially communities under-served by traditional solar energy companies.
District Power and Light is a DC business and our team live in the District and its environs. Everyone here believes in doing what’s right for the people of the District of Columbia, our families, and our environment.
Companies with a higher purpose that serve their community are the future of business in America. That’s why, as we continue to grow, we’ll strive to ensure we’ll do right by our employees, our partners, our community, our City, and our planet.
What Our Homeowners Say
“For me and my little one, it’s about saving money. With District Power & Light, I’ll save at least 50% off of what Pepco charges me for the same electricity. That’s nearly $300 a year! Thank you, DPL!”
“I chose District Power & Light because they gave me the thing I wanted most: choice. After comparing the options, I chose their 50/50 program. It was just right for my family’s budget.”
