With a history of more than 200 years of service as the first gas utility in the U.S., BGE has a long-standing commitment to our customers and the community. It began in 1816 when Rembrandt Peale lit the first gas lamp in Baltimore, and it continues two centuries later with BGE and our customers still leading the way in energy innovation.
