What if I move out of BGE's service area prior to 8/29/08?

Do I have to purchase my electricity supply from BGE to receive the credit?

Can I ask for a refund check instead of a bill credit?
No, the credit will apply to your September bill and reduce your balance until used up.

No. Customers who have active residential electric distribution accounts on 8/29/08 will receive the credit on their September bill, not before this.

The credit will reduce your bill as if it were a regular payment. If there is any credit remaining, it will reduce future bills until used up.

What if I don't get a bill in September? When will I get the credit?
The credit will appear on the first bill that you receive after August 29th, whenever that is.

The requirement that a residential electric distribution account be active on August 29th to receive the credit is included in BGE's Retail Electric Tariff, which was approved by the Maryland Public Service Commission.
