‘Enough is enough’: Activists push back as BGE requests another rate increase
Baltimore Gas & Electric (BGE), acquired by Exelon, asked Maryland regulators to approve a rate increase that would add about $8 per month for customers. BGE seeks to raise its return on equity from 9.5% to 10.4% and a $156 million increase, citing “bare bones” system spending. Consumer groups and unions oppose, citing record Exelon profits and affordability concerns. A PSC decision is expected in early 2027.
