Heat Wave Halts Power Shutoffs Temporarily | Baltimore News

Maryland braces for a brutal heat wave with temps nearing 100 degrees, triggering a Code Red alert from Baltimore’s health department — just as BGE prepares to resume power shutoffs for 290,000 delinquent customers. But here’s the twist: BGE will hold off on cuts as long as the heat index stays above 95, giving folks a reprieve until this weekend. While the heat won’t break records or last as long as last month’s wave, it’s still dangerously hot — especially with customers owing a staggering $224 million, averaging $774 per person.
