Electricity Rates.
Maryland businesses have been able to shop electric supply since 1999. Whether you are served by BGE, Pepco, Delmarva Power, or Potomac Edison, a competitive supply rate can lower your commercial bill without changing your utility.
Maryland passed the Electric Customer Choice and Competition Act, opening supply to competition.

How Maryland Deregulated Energy Works for Business
Maryland's Electric Customer Choice and Competition Act of 1999 separated generation from delivery. The local utility — BGE, Pepco, Delmarva Power, or Potomac Edison — still delivers power and maintains the grid. The supply portion of your commercial bill is negotiable.
We start with a signed Letter of Authorization to pull your historical usage, then audit your current bill for rate-class errors and demand issues. Next, we request bids from 30+ licensed suppliers, normalize the offers to a true cost per kWh, and present the lowest fixed-rate options. You pick the term, and the supplier handles the switch with your utility.
