Baltimore Gas & Electric Co Electricity Rate per kWh (2024 EIA Data)
Investor Owned|EIA utility 1167|Maryland|Bundled + Delivery
In 2024, Baltimore Gas & Electric Co's residential customers paid an average of 17.91 cents per kWh: $1,915 million of revenue over 10.69 million MWh of sales across 1,025,745 bundled residential customers, plus 188,355 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy elsewhere, as reported to EIA on Form 861.
How the 17.91c figure is calculated
17.91c/kWh = $1,915,002k revenue / 10,693,909 MWh x 100. This is EIA's average realised price for 2024: everything Baltimore Gas & Electric Co billed its residential customers (energy, delivery, fuel and rider charges, fixed charges) divided by the kilowatt-hours it sold. It is not a tariff rate, and a 2024 annual average will differ from a current bill. For a 1,000 kWh month at this average, the energy cost works out to about $179 before taxes.
About Baltimore Gas & Electric Co's 2024 electricity prices
Baltimore Gas & Electric Co is an investor-owned electric utility that reports to the U.S. Energy Information Administration under utility number 1167. In 2024 it served 1,025,745 bundled residential customers in Maryland (plus 188,355 delivery-only residential accounts that buy their energy from a competitive supplier), and its average realised residential price was 17.91 cents per kWh: $1,915 million of residential revenue divided by 10.69 million MWh of residential sales.
Across the other sectors, Baltimore Gas & Electric Co's 2024 average prices were 16.17 cents for commercial customers (73,391 accounts) and 14.87 cents for industrial customers (3,681 accounts). Industrial customers paid 3.04 cents less per kWh than households, a 17% discount that is typical of high-volume, high-voltage service. Maryland allows retail choice, so the customer base splits two ways: 1,025,745 residential customers took bundled service (energy plus delivery) at 17.91 cents per kWh, while 188,355 bought their energy from a competitive supplier and paid Baltimore Gas & Electric Co only for delivery, which averaged 6.49 cents per kWh for the wires portion.
Within Maryland, Baltimore Gas & Electric Co ranked number 1 of 9 utilities with bundled or delivery service by residential accounts served (1,214,100, bundled plus delivery-only) and accounted for 46.41% of the state's residential electricity sales in 2024, measured in MWh sold or delivered rather than in customers. The state-wide average realised residential price in 2024, computed from the same EIA file, was 17.86 cents per kWh, so Baltimore Gas & Electric Co's customers paid 0.05 cents above the Maryland average (+0.3%). For context, EIA's latest monthly figure for Maryland is 21.84 cents per kWh (June 2026, Electric Power Monthly); that is a different, more recent measure across all utilities and is not directly comparable with a 2024 annual average.
EIA's service-territory file places Baltimore Gas & Electric Co in 9 Maryland counties: Anne Arundel, Baltimore, Baltimore City, Calvert, Carroll, Harford, Howard, Montgomery, and Prince Georges. On the grid side it operates in the RFC NERC region and the PJM Interconnection market, and reported transmission and distribution as its activities. Balancing authority code: PJM.

Method: cents per kWh = revenue (thousand dollars) divided by sales (megawatthours), times 100. Customer counts, sales and revenue are the utility's own annual survey responses by state and sector. Bundled = energy plus delivery from one utility; delivery-only = the wires charge for customers who buy energy from a competitive supplier; energy-only = a competitive supplier's energy charge without delivery. County lists come from the EIA-861 Service Territory file; territory centroids used for "nearby utilities" are unweighted means of Census 2023 county centroids.
