BGE: All households get $170 regardless of usage
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.

Jay, I currently rent but will be moving into a home we just bought in about two months. Our new home is a new construction that will be ready in June (meaning, it doesn't exist currently). Any idea if I will be getting the rebate on my power bill at my new place?? Obviously, the power bill at our current rental will no longer be in our name. Thanks!

Isn't this the most ridiculous rebate ever? Not based on usage or any other measure? Clearly good business does not prevail when Martin O'Malley's leadership (or lack therof) is in play. We desperately need new leadership in Annapolis.
