| About
Us
For over 190 years, Baltimore Gas & Electric (BGE)
has been meeting the energy needs of Central Maryland. BGE serves
more than one million business and residential electric customers
and more than 600,000 gas customers in an economically diverse,
2,300-square-mile area encompassing Baltimore City and all or part
of 10 Central Maryland counties.
Today, we are building on this proud tradition to create a promising
future for our employees and our customers. On May 3, 1999, Constellation
Energy began operations as the holding company for BGE and its affiliates.
On
July 1, 2000, BGE moved from being a vertically integrated
utility that both produces and delivers electricity to one that
delivers electricity produced by others.
Our Mission
We will safely, economically, reliably, and profitably deliver gas
and electricity to our customers.
Our Vision
We will be a recognized leader in energy delivery by enhancing our
customers' quality of life, our shareholders' value, and our team's
well-being.
BGE Electric Transmission & Distribution
BGE delivers electricity over its transmission and distribution
systems to over 1.1 million customers. Our electric system includes
more than 1,200 miles of transmission lines and more than 21,000
miles of overhead and underground distribution lines.
BGE is a member of the PJM Interconnection, LLC (PJM). PJM
is an independent Regional Transmission Organization (RTO) that
plays a vital role in the U.S. electric system by providing its
membership opportunities for buying and selling power, arranging
transmission service, and allowing the use of larger and more
efficient generating units. PJM also manages a sophisticated
regional planning process for generation and transmission expansion.
This all results in lower costs to customers and increased service
reliability. PJM coordinates the movement of electricity in
all or parts of Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland,
Michigan, New Jersey, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Tennessee,
Virginia, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
