⚡ Baltimore Electricity Rates — Are You Overpaying?

Baltimore residents and businesses served by BGE have the power to choose their own electricity supplier in Maryland's deregulated energy market. Maryland electric rates average 14–17¢/kWh. BGE, Pepco, and Delmarva territories all support competitive retail choice. Shopping for a competitive rate could save you hundreds of dollars each year.

How to Lower Your Electric Bill in Baltimore, MD

  • Compare certified suppliers — Don't pay the default utility rate. Licensed suppliers often offer fixed or variable rates that beat the standard offer.
  • Lock in a fixed rate — Protect yourself from seasonal price spikes and grid volatility common in Maryland.
  • Go green — Many MD suppliers offer 100% renewable plans at competitive prices.
  • Commercial & industrial — If you're a business in Baltimore, deregulation means you can negotiate directly for bulk rates.

Electricity Deregulation in Maryland

Maryland opened its electricity market to competition, meaning BGE still delivers your power but you can choose who generates and supplies it. This separation gives Baltimore consumers real choice and competitive pricing that regulated states don't have.
