Maryland Electricity Rate Increases: Protecting Yourself from BGE & Pepco

SBI Editorial DeskUpdated Q1 · 20262 sections

Maryland residents have watched their electric bills climb steadily as the state's major utility companies petition the Public Service Commission (PSC) for multi-year rate hikes. Whether it is BGE, Pepco, or Delmarva Power, these companies aggressively push for higher delivery and generation charges to fund infrastructure projects and grid upgrades.

01

The Cost of Renting Your Power

When you pay a utility bill, you are renting your electricity, and you have zero control over future price hikes. Even if your personal energy usage remains exactly the same, your monthly bill will continue to rise as utilities pass their corporate infrastructure costs directly down to the consumer.

Taking Ownership with Solar

By installing a Tier-1 solar system with SunBeam Innovations, you take ownership of your energy production. By utilizing a fixed-rate, zero-down solar loan, you lock in your cost of electricity for the next 25 years. You permanently escape the inflation cycle of the Maryland utility market.
