BGE seeks regulatory approval to limit Baltimore’s 84% conduit fee hike to city customers

• BGE asked the Maryland Public Service Commission to shield customers outside Baltimore City from the city's 84% conduit fee increase.
• The increase would add nearly $50 million to BGE electric customers' costs next year, with automatic annual fee increases planned.
• The proposal would place conduit costs on Baltimore City electric customers through a separate surcharge beginning after Jan. 1, 2027.
• The surcharge would total about $9 monthly for an average residential electric customer; commercial customers would pay more.
• The commission must approve the proposal; BGE's current conduit agreement with Baltimore City expires at the end of 2026.
