Someone at your door wants to see your bill? Here is what they can and can't do, and what to say.
Serves Baltimore and central Maryland.
A therm is one unit of heat from gas (therms on your bill). Your bill may call this price the Default Gas Commodity price.
This is the price in the Maryland Public Service Commission's monthly gas price sheet. The sheet comes out after the month starts, so the newest price may be last month's.
It is the price you pay if you never picked another company.
Today it is 28.8 cents per therm. A therm is one unit of heat from gas (therms on your bill).
Your bill may call it the Default Gas Commodity price.
It follows the market price of natural gas, so it changes every month.
No company lists an offer for BGE homes on MD Gas Choice right now.
Judy compares your bill with BGE's standard price, and checks the list every 2 hours.
Yes. Your gas stays on. BGE still delivers your gas and sends your bill.
Only the price part of your bill changes.
You can go back to BGE's standard price later. Check your contract for a fee to leave early.
Call the company you pick, or sign up on its website. You don't call your utility.
Have your BGE bill ready. The company will ask for a number from it.
Look for your account number near the top of your bill. Ask the company which number it needs.
The new company tells BGE for you.
Ask the company how long you have to cancel for free, and write it down.
The company must mail you a notice 30 days before your contract ends.
Come back to Judy Saves when the notice comes. We will check your choices again.

True. That covers contracts signed or renewed since January 1, 2025.
