My mistake. I said in an earlier post that the $170 BGE rebate will vary according to how much electricity your household uses. Wrong. Every BGE household gets $170 exactly, says spokesman Robert Gould. It'll be credited against your monthly bill later this year. To repeat earlier details: You get the rebate regardless of whether you switched to an alternative electric supplier such as Washington Gas or Commerce Energy. All current BGE households get it. If you moved out of the BGE territory last month, you're out of luck. And this rebate has nothing to do with whether you deferred the 72 percent BGE rate increase from a couple years ago. You get it one way or the other.
