BGE Seeks Rate Hike to Fix Grid | Baltimore News

BGE, Maryland’s largest utility, is seeking approval to raise electricity rates to fund essential grid repairs—delaying maintenance could lead to more outages and higher long-term costs. Despite cutting planned investments to ease the burden, the company says affordability must be balanced with reliability. President Tamla Olivier admits rising costs are tough for customers, but insists proactive upgrades are smarter than crisis fixes. The Public Service Commission will review the proposal, with public input invited, and a final decision expected early 2027—following previous rate hikes approved in 2023.
