BGE filed on July 2, 2026 for a $156.1 million increase in electric base rates, which it describes as a bare-bones maintenance case. The utility estimates the average home using 851 kWh a month would pay about $8 more, roughly 4% of the total electric bill, and asks for a 10.4% return on equity against the 9.5% last approved. Current rates stay frozen until the Maryland PSC rules, which the commission expects in January 2027.
