People?s Counsel wants BGE rate plan clarified and modified

Frustrated by a recent court ruling, the Maryland Office of People?s Counsel wants Baltimore Circuit Judge Albert Matricciani Jr. to clarify his May 30 decision that gave the Maryland Public Service Commission the option of requiring Baltimore Gas and Electric to extend rate caps set to expire June 30.

The People?s Counsel said the option given should have been the one selected by the Public Service Commission, which instead decided to allow an initial 21 percent of the 72 percent BGE rate increase to take effect on July 1.
