There is Plenty of Savings out there for BGE Customers!

In the past, the utilities were responsible for supplying and delivering customers with electricity and gas supply. The utilities acted as a monopoly and customers would have to buy their natural gas and electricity from the utility at the price authorized by the state’s Public Service Commission (PSC).  Today, natural gas and electricity supply are deregulated in many states, including Maryland. Now you can choose to purchase gas and/or electricity supply from any energy supplier that is licensed by the Maryland PSC, or you can choose to continue receiving your energy supply from BGE.

The process of switching suppliers is easy and straightforward. Smart Choice Energy Services, LLC specializes in walking you through the process and ensuring that the transition is seamless. BGE (or your utility) will continue to deliver the natural gas or electricity to your business through their pipes and wires, no matter who you choose as your supplier. The delivery service is still regulated by the Maryland PSC.  Competition only affects the supply of natural gas and electricity and not the delivery.

BGE Price to Compare

Depending on your business’ rate class, there will be a ‘price to compare’ against the suppliers’ price offering. The three most common business rate classes are G, GS, and GL. On the BGE website, there are prices to compare for the G and GS rate classes. These BGE prices, along with GL prices, are currently significantly higher than the rate that many suppliers are offering. You can lock in a rate today with an alternative supplier that is much lower and will provide significant savings for your business.  We understand that the alternative energy supplier you sign up with is an important energy-related decision for your business.  Based on your business’s needs and product interest, there is plenty of savings out there.  In some cases, our suppliers can offer up to 3 cents per kWh lower than the BGE price to compare!
