BALTIMORE — The temperature outside is dropping but BGE bills continue to rise.
Help is available for those struggling to pay their BGE bills.
According to the Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC), all service turn-off notices have been canceled.

To be eligible, applicants must be a BGE residential customer, have not received a Fuel Fund grant in the past 365 days and have made at least four separate payments your BGE account in the past 12 months.
