Back in May, regional utility Baltimore Gas and Electric has filed an application with the Maryland Public Service Commission to bump up its rates and bring in an additional $133 million. Those electricity rate increase will start effecting Maryland residents beginning October 1st. Under the new plan, BGE electricity supply rates will increase from 6.558 cents/kWh to 7.146 cents/kWh. This would add roughly $6 to the average Maryland resident's supply charge each month.
