EW JERSEY SHARES RECEIVES $25,000 DONATION FROM ATLANTIC CITY ELECTRIC

Ewing, N.J. — October 22, 2009 — Atlantic City Electric has donated an additional $25,000 to New Jersey SHARES, Inc. to provide electric assistance to New Jersey households in need. Atlantic City Electric presented NJ SHARES with the grant at the Atlantic City Electric Energy Assistance Application and Resource Expo held at the Atlantic City Convention Center. “We are sensitive to the hardships our customers face, particularly during these tough economic times when many have nowhere to turn during a financial hardship, said Atlantic City Electric Region President Vince Maione. “We are proud to support the mission of this great organization.” Funds are immediately available for qualified applicants.

Since its inception in 1998, New Jersey SHARES has helped 155,000 New Jersey families with more than $57 million in energy assistance. “Atlantic City Electric has supported us since the very beginning,” said Jim Jacob, executive director, New Jersey SHARES. “Together we continue to provide meaningful assistance to thousands of New Jersey households who are struggling to stay safe and warm and in their homes. We are grateful to ACE for this grant and their partnership.”

New Jersey SHARES is an energy-assistance program that assists households who do not qualify for federal or state programs and whose income does not exceed 400 percent of the Federal Poverty Level. Each client fills out an electronic application with the assistance of a local community-based organization. New Jersey SHARES partners with more than 275 organizations statewide. Eligibility is determined by income and household size. New Jersey SHARES grants are distributed year-round based on funding availability.
