BGE Programs

BGE Budget Billing

BGE's Budget Billing lets customers spread out their annual BGE bills into even monthly payments subject to periodic true-ups.  While BGE does not offer this service for the customer's electricity supplier charges, electricity suppliers can still calculate their own budget bill amounts to be displayed on BGE's bill.  Click on the BGE Budget Billing link for more information.

Electric Tariffs

BGE Retail Electric Service Tariff

This tariff provides information on current electric service rates for BGE customers, along with riders and other documentation, as approved and regulated by the Maryland Public Service Commission.

FERC Transmission Tariff

Under Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) guidelines, public utilities that own, control, or operate interstate transmission facilities must make their transmission lines available to all other power-generating companies by providing open access over these lines for wholesale power transactions. The following FERC-approved transmission tariffs describe the types of services provided, schedule of rates, and associated rules and regulations for companies providing transmission access.

Provider Of Last Resort (POLR) Information

The Maryland Public Service Commission approved on April 29, 2003, a settlement that established POLR for all utilities in Maryland.  POLR provides a new fixed price market based Standard Offer Service for customers when Price Freeze Service ended and no electricity supplier has been selected. This is being done to continue the smooth transition to Customer Choice. POLR provides for market-based rate plans depending on the customer segment and/or Capacity Peak Load Contribution level.
