I have described problems that BGE customers have had involving Ohms Energy, a local electricity broker and aggregator. Many involved people who thought they had locked in a 9.4-cent "price to compare" (generation & transmission but not distribution) beyond June 1 through Ohms. They got letters from BGE saying that ConEd Solutions (the generator) was ending service in Maryland and that their 9.4-cent rate would go away. Ohms has promised to honor the deals anyway, and the evidence so far is that they are. Here is an email I got from an Ohms customer:

I would like to thank-you for your article on 10/15/06 on 'looking to save on electricity?' Following the info you provided I was able to contract with Ohms Energy on 12/20/2006 for 0.094kwh. After reading your recent article(5/2/20070 where you mentioned ConEdison Solutions would not be selling electricity after June) I talked to Ohms Energy. On 5/30/2007 I received an email from Trish Greene, Asst. Manager-Pikesville Ohms Energy, stating my supply will roll over from Con Ed right to Ohms Energy with the rate 0.094kwh for the year. Thanks for keeping me informed and allowing me to stay on top of this issue.
