Our Energy Work

Marylanders should be able to heat and cool their homes without being forced to choose between utility bills and groceries or prescriptions.

Yet multimillion dollar utilities keep raising rates for customers while service outages continue. As our energy providers are a regulated monopoly, residents have few choices on how to heat and light their homes. As a result, utility companies shift many of their business expenses onto our utility bills.

BGE profitsEconomic Action Maryland Fund is working to limit the corporate perks and profits that can be passed onto ratepayers. We’ve already stopped the utilities from billing YOU for:

  • In 2025, the costs of private jets and trade association dues.
  • In 2026, multi-million-dollar salaries and executive perks.

We also supported legislative efforts to expand and streamline energy assistance programs. Now we are taking the fight to the regulating entities – the Public Service Commission and PJM.
