Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) has submitted a request to the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) for an average $8-per-month rate hike for its electric customers, set to take effect next year. The Maryland Office of People’s Counsel (OPC), an independent state agency advocating for utility customers, intends to challenge this proposal to ensure utility rates remain reasonable.
Regulatory Process
The PSC will review BGE’s request and hold hearings over the next several months. The OPC’s challenge is part of its role in protecting the interests of Maryland’s utility customers.
