An increase is coming to your energy bill in January, according to Baltimore Gas and Electric.
The utility told 11 News that most of that charge is “out of their control.”
The extra fees add up to roughly $26 per month. BGE said that’s why it’s so important to manage your energy use during the cold months in order to save money when possible.
“What you pay for energy is increasing significantly in 2025,” said BGE senior manager of communications Nick Alexopulos.
There will be five separate increases in six months, starting in January. BGE investments account for 36% of the increase, while the other 64% is out of their control, BGE told 11 News.
“This is unprecedented. Unprecedented,” Alexopulos said.
Of the roughly $26 increase, $7.77 is connected to BGE distribution rates, which funds investments in updating aging infrastructure and installing automation technology.
BGE is requesting another $1.55 to make up for $152 million under-recovered in 2023, which stems from a multi-year plan filed before inflation and supply chain disruptions due to the pandemic.
If approved by the Public Service Commission, the fee will start this spring.
