Customer bills will increase effective with usage starting on Feb. 1, 2022 and as authorized by the Maryland Public Service Commission will be partially reduced by certain tax benefits. With the rate adjustment and offsets approved by the PSC, the average residential electric bill will increase by $3.28 per month and the average residential natural gas bill will increase by $2.40 per month. See bge.com/myp for details.
Your energy service is divided into two parts; supply, the cost of the gas and/or electricity, and delivery, transportation of the energy. Delivery is a regulated service which means that BGE will continue to deliver gas and/or electricity to all customers. This also means that BGE is responsible for the wires, poles and outage restoration regardless of supplier. Since BGE delivers to all of the central Maryland service area, its costs and policies are regulated by the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC). However, supply is not a regulated service. Energy suppliers that are licensed by the Maryland Public Service Commission and registered with BGE can become your supplier. This gives you the choice and allows you to shop for the best energy rates and terms—if you wish.
