Information Change Transactions

If the following data is changed within BGE's CIS system, an 814C-Change transaction (See EDI Implementation Guidelines) will be sent to the electricity supplier:

• BGE Account Number

• Metering Equipment

• Meter Attributes (i.e. number of dials, multiplier, etc.)

• Customer Tariff

• Meter Read/Billing Cycle

• Customer Name

• Service Address

• Billing Address

• Number of Load Management Air Conditioners (Rider 5)

• Number of Load Management Water Heaters (Rider 6)

• Capacity Peak Load Contribution

• Transmission Peak Load Contribution

In the case where there is a pending drop and the effective date of the customer termination order is less than the effective date of the drop, BGE will send an 814C-Change transaction to the current supplier with the revised date.

Electricity suppliers are allowed to send to BGE through an 814C-Change transaction the following changes:

• Electricity Supplier Account Number

• Bill Type (Dual Billing, BGE Consolidated Billing, or Electricity Supplier Consolidated Billing)

Electricity suppliers who wish to change the customer's bill type must send an 814C-Change transaction at least 8 calendar days prior to the customer's scheduled meter read date.

Electricity suppliers may send multiple changes in a single transaction.  If  however, one of those changes are invalid, BGE will reject the entire transaction set.
