When adverse weather affects our service area, BGE is prepared. Remember to charge your phone, electric vehicle, and other battery-powered electronic equipment in advance of the storm. If you experience a power outage or need to report a downed wire, please call 877.778.2222. BGE asks all customers to report their outage. Outages may also be reported online, by texting OUT to MYBGE (69243), and via BGE’s free mobile app available today at the Apple Store or GooglePlay. BGE crews work as safely and quickly as possible to restore power.

Beginning July 1, BGE residential customers will be able to apply for financial assistance through the BGE Customer Relief Fund, a temporary $15 million fund administered by the United Way of Central Maryland that will provide eligible customers relief in the form of a one-time grant ranging from $250 to $750. Approved grants will be credited to customers’ BGE account. To learn more about the BGE Customer Relief Fund, please visit BGE.com/relief.
