Why Are Energy Bills So High in Maryland?
If you’ve had sticker shock from your recent BGE bill, you’re not alone. Most BGE customers are seeing substantial increases in their monthly bills.
Marylanders Are Paying Too Much for Energy
Marylanders should be able to heat and cool our homes with safe, affordable, and reliable energy.
But wasteful spending and excessive utility profits are increasing our bills, making it unaffordable to power our homes.
Record Profits
BGE gas and electric delivery rates have increased far faster than inflation, driving winter heating bills high this winter.
Since 2010:
BGE gas delivery rates have tripled and gas customers now pay $2 for delivery for every $1 they pay for the gas itself.
BGE electric delivery rates have doubled
BGE annual profits have more than tripled and BGE has made $4.9 BILLION in total profits.
