BGE-Constellation relationship concerns officials

With a 50 percent rate increase set for June 1 for Baltimore Gas and Electric customers, state officials have stepped up calls to reregulate BGE and separate it from its parent company, Constellation Energy.

“When Martin O?Malley ran for governor, he decried the increase in electricity costs,” said state Del. Jill Carter, who is running for mayor. “Sadly, we did not resolve this issue in the legislative session. Now, there is no other alternative but a special session to prevent this unfair rate increase that will be a hardship for many Marylanders.”
