BALTIMORE (July 22, 2016) – As several days of 90 degree temperatures grip the region, customers may use more energy to cool their homes. With the current heat wave expected to continue throughout the weekend, BGE anticipates a possible Energy Savings Day for Monday, July 25, and provides tips to help customers manage their energy use.
Here are steps that customers can take to make a difference:
Customers also should always put safety first - check on elderly neighbors and relatives during prolonged periods of high temperatures.
Higher temperatures can lead to higher energy bills, and BGE provides a variety of programs to help customers save energy and money.
