Fund Intended to Provide Relief From Increasing Energy Costs
- Maryland Governor Wes Moore announced on Thursday the launch of a $19 million Customer Relief Fund to support limited- and middle-income utility customers amid rising energy bills.
- The fund responds to a 30% increase in electric rates since 2020 and follows legislation signed last month providing all customers an average $80 rebate based on peak usage.
- Beginning July 1, nonprofit groups will distribute grants between $250 and $750 to qualifying BGE customers with overdue balances, with the fund administered locally by organizations such as the Baltimore branch of United Way.
- BGE CEO Tamla Olivier highlighted that addressing rising costs requires a collaborative effort among utilities, the state, and competitive markets to effectively meet customer needs.
- This temporary, one-time assistance program seeks to alleviate financial pressure for Marylanders facing steep energy bills and encourages ratepayers to check eligibility through their utility providers.
