Because of that law change, Baltimore residents can choose their own electricity provider or simply opt to continue receiving service from the local utility company.

Baltimore utility companies & energy providers
A utility company is a company that delivers electricity to your home. The utility company also installs and maintains the infrastructure. Baltimore Gas and Electric (BG&E) is the utility company that serves Baltimore residents. To report an outage or infrastructure damage, contact BG&E at 1-800-685-0123 for customer service or 1/877-778-2222 if you spot a downed power line. In Maryland, utility companies also are electric suppliers, but customers don’t have to buy from them and often find better prices elsewhere.
An energy provider is the company that supplies the electricity the utility company delivers to your home. Because Maryland has a deregulated energy market, Baltimore residents may choose their own provider. Providers available in Baltimore include:
