Deregulation in BGE

BGE Electric Utility operates in Maryland which is a deregulated state in terms of natural gas and electricity. Deregulation allows alternate suppliers, like Shipley Energy, to offer their energy products to consumers within the marketplace. The price these suppliers offer is not set by the government or the utility company, and therefore are often much more competitive.

Deregulation allows you to choose your natural gas or electricity supplier like you would most other service providers. For example, if you are unhappy with the price of your Internet service you could change to another company. In this case, deregulation allows you the same freedom.

Deregulation and Your Natural Gas and Electric Bills

One of the easiest ways to take control of your natural gas or electric bill is to choose a supplier (click the green text to look up the term in our handy glossary) with a great fixed rate. A gas or electric supplier, like Shipley Energy, doesn’t always promise to be lower than BGE at all points during the year, but we do promise a fixed rate for 12 months and a friendly Customer Care team to talk to about any questions you have.

The benefit of having a fixed rate is knowing what you will pay per kilowatt hour. This can help you manage your monthly budget. Shipley Energy also provides our loyal customers with the benefit of a rewards program, where you earn points for every dollar spent on natural gas or electricity that can be redeemed for gift cards.

Why Switch Natural Gas Suppliers?

Maryland’s deregulated energy market has created more opportunities for homeowners to make smart choices about their home energy use. While BGE will continue to deliver your natural gas, read your meter, and send you a monthly bill, we will provide the actual gas – at a guaranteed rate. Get a great low rate to protect you through the winter, when you need it most!

When you decide where to purchase your natural gas, you’re protected from market fluctuations. A fixed rate per unit of energy will allow you to easily determination each month’s energy costs, simplifying your budgeting. Since the rate never changes, you can keep your home comfortable even when the market rates increase.

With a switch to Shipley Energy, you can choose a fixed rate from day one. Your price will stay consistent throughout the length of your contract, giving you predictable billing and peace of mind. Call a Shipley Energy expert at 855-564-3050 to see how BGE’s natural gas prices compare with our low rates and ensure you’re getting the best deal.

Energy conservation efforts will still help you keep more money in your pocket, but having a fixed rate for your natural gas use means you can give the thermostat a nudge when you need it. Shipley Energy makes switching suppliers effortless, so you can immediately enjoy the benefits: 

A Secure Price

Have peace of mind with a fixed rate and be protected from price increases for the term of your agreement. BGE’s natural gas price changes every month, and February is predicted to be frigidly cold. When temperatures go down, prices go up. Don’t get caught in a high rate!

Switching is Easy!

Unlike other natural gas suppliers, there is no sign-up fee or interruption in service when you switch to Shipley Energy. While we’ll supply your home’s natural gas, BGE will continue to deliver it, read your meter, and send you a monthly bill. The only change will be your access to multiple pricing plans and service benefits. You’ll experience immediate freedom in choosing your natural gas prices and continue to receive the same reliable service.

Reach out to Shipley Energy’s customer service department to learn more about the ease and benefits of switching. We have representatives ready online and over the phone.

How Do I Know Which Supplier to Choose?

When Pennsylvania deregulated its energy sector, many companies began offering fixed and variable rate plans for homeowners across the state. While the resulting plans cause BGE-provided natural gas prices to vary widely, there are several critical factors to consider when choosing a supplier:

  • Contract Details: Are the supplier’s plans fixed or variable rate? How long does the contract last? Are there penalties for switching early or changing your plan?
  • Pricing: Is the supplier’s price lower than BGE natural gas rates? How does the comparison look over time? Make sure to find BGE natural gas prices to compare all-year-round for the last few years. A fixed rate that looks appealing in current market conditions may end up costing more over time.
  • Reputation: Is the supplier well-established in the community? Are their customers happy with the service they provide? Deregulation was a significant opportunity, so many companies quickly took advantage of it. Choosing to work with a long-running, established energy company will increase the likelihood of your new supplier having long-term availability.
