• Budget Billing
  Budget Billing lets you spread out your annual BGE bills by spreading them evenly throughout the year subject to periodic true-ups, or adjustments, which better reflect your actual usage. Your account is reviewed throughout the year to prevent you from having a large deficit – or a large overpayment. If your payment amount needs to be adjusted up or down, we will notify you the month prior to the change. So with Budget Billing, despite unpredictable swings in the weather, your energy bills are still predictable.  There is no charge for this billing option. To sign up, call
  410-685-0123, 1-800-685-0123 from outside the Baltimore metropolitan area or Contact Us.

  Budget Billing Adjustment Notice: Customers who participate in BGE's Budget Billing Program should check their March bill for a possible adjusted Budget Billing amount. BGE reviews actual customer energy usage four times a year and adjusts monthly payment amounts, if necessary, to make sure customers don't end up with large shortages of what's actually owed or overages in what is due to the customer. March is one of those adjustment periods. At the end of the Budget Billing year, accounts with credit balances will receive six percent simple interest applied. Note: Customers who purchase gas or electricity from another supplier will see applied adjustments only on BGE delivery charges.

• Bill Extender Plan
  If you live on a fixed income, such as Social Security, Disability, V.A. benefits, Supplemental Security Income (SSI), Family Investment Program (FIP) or a pension, you may be eligible for our Bill Extender Plan. For qualified customers, this plan extends utility bill due dates to a date more in line with your benefits. For more information, or to sign up, call 410-685-0123, 1-800-685-0123 from outside the Baltimore metropolitan area or Contact Us.

• Third-Party Notification
  BGE sometimes must turn off gas and electric service when customers don't pay their bills. Such a step is taken as a last resort. To protect customers, especially if they are ill, incapacitated, handicapped or away from home, you can designate a third party to receive a copy of any turn-off notices. Your third party can be a relative, friend, or neighbor. For more information, or to sign up, call 410-685-0123, 1-800-685-0123 from outside the Baltimore metropolitan area or Contact Us.
