Since 2014, BGE has invested $1 billion+ in STRIDE projects to modernize the natural gas system. To date, we have reduced methane gas emissions by nearly four million pounds. When BGE's STRIDE plan is complete, annual emissions will be reduced by 210,000 metric tons compared to 2013.
BGE will invest $2.5 billion+ between 2021 and 2023 to modernize electric infrastructure, which drives down emissions through increased efficiency. This includes replacing out-of-date technologies to improve reliability and enable greater adoption of solar energy and electric vehicle charging.
