These BGE bills are absolutely bonkers. I have seen a handful of people posting that their bills have doubled or tripled in some cases. That’s not ok, it’s a necessity and there is no other choice for people.

pepco is doing the same thing-
it always sounds like a tin foil hat conspiracy until you realize that all those “smart meters” were simply excuses to run up the bill to counter tax deficits and recoup profits from payouts for lawsuits
Mine more than doubled, so did my MIL’s. This is absolutely ridiculous. Politicians need to step up and the Banner needs to blast BGE for this. Absolutely unacceptable when the only monopoly in town jacks prices and the story is “avg price increase will be $26”.
I was wondering about that, and assumed that “average increase” amount wasn’t true. First they said it would be a $20 increase and then the $26 figure came out. At this point, they’re just telling lies and doing whatever.
From the interview I heard this past week those totals were for homes that had a "certain avg bill". The real cost is something like 20% more than what you previously paid.
So if you pay more than their tested avg, you'll pay way more than $26.
Neighboring Delmarva Power retiree here. You all need to contact the MD Public Service Commission and complain to them. Your MD State Rep and Senator also should be contacted. Make your concerns known. Though, you should note that they’re all in bed together. Regardless, make your voice heard.
It only took me about 1 minute. If enough people do this, we may get the right eyes on the ruthless financial exploitation we have all been experiencing at the hands of Delmarva Power.
Within a couple days of each other I got a “you’re doing great!” BGE email for using less than energy efficient neighbors as well as a bill projected to be over double what the bill was last year. 🙃

Smh ridiculous.
Okay. Then why the hell is everyone against MD setting up their own wind and solar farms? LOL
I hate politicians and their BS on top of companies.
