Getting Your Job Started is Phase One of the Construction Project Process

Step 1
Complete and return the Service Application, along with the necessary site/building drawings, as outlined in the Customer Information Booklets. This will provide BGE with all the information required to get started.

Note: Once we have received your completed Service Application, BGE will provide, via post card, a WMS Number to let you know we have received your Service Application. Please retain this number and refer to it in any correspondence with BGE about your job. Use the WMS Number to track your job from beginning to end.

Step 2
Within approximately 10 days of our receipt of your application, a BGE Representative will contact you to review job details and discuss particulars listed in the Customer Information Booklet.

Step 3
BGE will evaluate and determine if our existing gas and electric infrastructure is adequate to meet your request. We will then develop an engineering plan or preliminary routing sketch proposing our work plan to meet your request for service.

Step 4
BGE will estimate the job costs, labor, and materials required to complete your project. Then we will determine the appropriate charges for the installation and contact you with a final job cost.

Step 5
BGE will send a contract and Preliminary Routing Sketch. The Preliminary Routing Sketch will reflect agreed upon transformer and meter locations and a proposed route to BGE construction.

Step 6
You sign and return the contract and proposed BGE utility site plan with your down payment or completed credit application. You'll need to complete this step before we can proceed.

Reminder, anytime BGE is required to deviate from our standard practices and procedures, you will be responsible for all additional costs.
