The increase: Baltimore Gas and Electric has proposed a $156M rate increase. The city estimates that it would add $100 per year, on average, to customer bills. This is necessary to cover costly equipment repairs and other grid-strengthening efforts, according to the utility.
The pushback: A recent Baltimore City Council resolution urges the Maryland PSC to reject this rate hike. Baltimore officials are also directing state regulators to reduce BGE’s return on equity.
