Baltimore gas utility seeks $8 monthly hike amid Maryland rate case

Baltimore Gas and Electric filed a rate-hike request with the Maryland Public Service Commission that could raise electric bills by about $100 a year (roughly $8 a month) for more than one million Maryland customers if approved. BGE says the reduced investment plan focuses on immediate grid maintenance and adds a FlexPay option and a new customer assistance program, while consumer advocates warn that rates and profits have risen sharply since 2010 and call for scrutiny as the PSC reviews the filing with a decision expected in early 2027.
