Energy Usage Alerts

• High Usage Alerts: Receive an early warning by phone, email or text if you are headed towards a bill that is higher than usual. This gives you time to reduce your usage before your next bill and helps to prevent billing surprises. Eligible customers can also set a bill threshold to alert you when your bill is projected to be higher than a specific amount each month.
• Weekly Usage Reports: Receive weekly email reports that contain personalized savings tips, a projection of your monthly electric bill and a breakdown of your electric usage each day of the week to identify when you use the most electricity.
• Home Energy Reports: Email and paper reports include energy usage data provided by your smart meter, energy- saving tips and easy-to-read graphs to help you understand the way your household uses energy and to find smart ways to make your home more efficient.
• Smart Energy Rewards: Energy Savings Day Alerts: Up to ten times each summer, BGE will notify you by phone call, email or text, typically the day before an Energy Savings Day is scheduled to find ways to save from 1 pm – 7 pm during the Energy Savings Day
• PeakRewards: PeakRewards Air Conditioning or Electric Water Heater program participants can sign up to receive an email and/or text at the start and end of cycling events.
