Shopping Information

Shopping for an electric supplier? Not sure how to go about it? Here are some of the basics that you need to know:

1. Know your utility “price to compare”:
   
   • Allegheny Power
   • BGE
   • Choptank
   • Delmarva Power - Residential
   • Delmarva Power - Business
   • Pepco
   • SMECO

     Note: Municipal Systems are not participating in electric competition. These community-owned, non-profit systems purchase energy wholesale and pass the savings on to their customers at cost. The municipal systems in Maryland are: Berlin Municipal Electric Company The Easton Utilities Commission Hagerstown Municipal Electric Light Plant Thurmont Municipal Light Company Williamsport Municipal Electric Light System

2. Find out what options are available:
   The Public Service Commission keeps an updated list of electric suppliers and aggregators who are actively serving residential customers: http://webapp.psc.state.md.us/Intranet/SupplierInfo/searchSupplier_E.cfm
