Pepco and BGE implemented their winter quarterly pricing starting December 1st, resulting in dramatically increased costs for commercial customers who purchase their energy supply through the utility. Pepco customers saw a 32% price increase- from $0.14762 per kWh to $0.19623 per kWh- while those served by BGE are now paying as much as $0.25212 per kWh. 


The best way to combat these increased prices is to take advantage of the deregulated energy market, and shop for a lower price through one of Electric Advisors’ suppliers. At the time of publication, we have been quoted rates just above $0.10 for BGE customers, just below $0.10 for Pepco Maryland customers, and less that $0.09 for Pepco DC.   


Not only does shopping for energy in the deregulated market mean that you’re able to choose the price you pay, but you can also lock in that price for anywhere from 6 months to 60 months. Locking in a price for several years will protect your wallet against the ever-inflating cost of energy and provide you with budget certainty for years to come. 


Electric Advisors is here to help you navigate the deregulated energy market and find you the best prices on your electricity and natural gas supply.  Call or email us today to start taking control of your energy costs!

For most business owners, the monthly utility bill is just another line item to be paid and filed away. You glance at the total, ensure it isn't astronomically higher than last month, and move on. But in 2026, with energy markets facing unprecedented volatility and complex new tariff structures, that "glance and pay" strategy is costing American businesses billions in overpayments. The good news? You don’t have to just accept these costs as the price of doing business. Everyone is talking about utility bill audits because they have transitioned from a "nice-to-have" occasional check to a critical financial strategy. At Electric Advisors, Inc., we’ve seen firsthand how a meticulous review of historical invoices can uncover significant refunds and permanent rate reductions.

In the world of commercial operations, finding a way to slash overhead by double digits without spending a dime upfront is usually a red flag for a "too good to be true" offer. But in 2026, for businesses operating within the BGE, Pepco, Potomac Edison, and Delmarva utility territories across Maryland and Delaware, this isn't a sales pitch, it’s a regulatory reality. Community solar has evolved from a niche pilot program into a mainstream financial strategy for savvy business owners. If your business pays its own utility bills but doesn't have the roof space, the capital, or the long-term lease to install traditional solar panels, community solar is your bridge to immediate savings. The good news? You can typically reduce your monthly electricity spend by 8% to 12% simply by enrolling. Here is how your business can capture this "easy win." Key Takeaways Zero Upfront Costs: No installation, no equipment maintenance, and no capital expenditure. Guaranteed Savings: Most subscriptions offer a fixed percentage discount (typically 8–12%) on the solar credits applied to your bill. Tenant-Friendly: Perfect for businesses that rent their office, warehouse, or retail space. Market Reach: Available to businesses in BGE, Pepco, Potomac Edison, and Delmarva (MD & DE) territories. Risk Mitigation: Electric Advisors handles the vetting to ensure you choose a project with favorable terms and no hidden cancellation fees.
