Today I joined @zekecohen.bsky.social to deliver petitions to BGE and the PSC
asking them to end BGE’s wasteful spending and stop the relentless rate hikes. Unfortunately BGE refused to accept the petitions.

Gas is inherently dangerous but this is beyond the pale.

In a massive victory for Marylanders, the legislature just made groundbreaking changes to utility regulation. By reining in wasteful spending by BGE and other utilities, new consumer protections will save hundreds of millions of dollars.

Cheers to @lcharkoudian.bsky.social for fighting to protect consumers from rising utility bills, pushing for more transparency at PJM (our regional grid operator), and advocating for “no-regrets” options to ensure grid stability through energy storage

Shout out to the Maryland House of Delegates for passing groundbreaking legislation to save customers hundreds of millions of dollars by reining in wasteful spending by BGE and other MD utilities.

Maryland electric and gas utilities spent more than $2.2 million to lobby on nearly 70 pieces of legislation in 2024 according to our new white paper

If a tree fell and BGE picked it up and charged us for it but no one wrote an LTE about it…. would gas rates still have tripled since 2010?

Proud to stand with AG Brown, MD OPC, Del. Embry, Sen. Washington, @mddc.1199seiu.org @zekecohen.bsky.social, CCAN, AARP MD, to call on the MD legislature to provide utility customers relief and to end wasteful gas utility spending by passing the Ratepayer Protection Act. pirg.org/maryland/med...

🚨 BGE rate hikes have raised utility bills again! While people struggle to afford heat, BGE's profits have tripled since 2010. We need our legislators to act this session to protect ratepayers. Read more: www.upgrademaryland.org/news-announc...
