BGE crews are actively responding to power outages due to Tropical Storm Ophelia. If you experience a power outage or need to report a downed wire, please call 877.778.2222. BGE asks all customers, including those with smart meters, 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.
Multi-year plans are forward-looking proposals that describe BGE's planned electric and natural gas system infrastructure upgrades and maintenance, and associated costs and rates, for up to three years in the future. Instead of looking back at work BGE already completed and deciding afterward on what rates should be to cover those costs, a multi-year plan presents the work and budget in advance before decisions are made on rates. The multi-year plan process in Maryland was adopted by order of the Maryland Public Service Commission in 2020 to achieve the best outcomes for customers and Maryland's energy future.
