Will My Bill Go Up

Maryland

Potomac Edison

Investor-owned utility (The Potomac Edison Company), regulated by the Maryland Public Service Commission. The average Maryland home pays about $166 a month for electricity (EIA, 2024).

1 pending rate case, about $9 a month more if approved

That is the ask, not the outcome: commissions usually approve less than the utility requests. Each case below links its docket and sources.

The ask, not the outcome. Your own bill scales with your usage; a home using twice the state average would see roughly twice the change.

How to have a say

Rate cases are decided by the Maryland Public Service Commission, which takes written comments on every docket and holds public hearings on the big ones. Comment deadlines and hearing dates are on each case page above when we have them. The office that argues for households in these cases is the Office of People's Counsel; its filings are the plain-English version of the utility's numbers.

Guides: how to comment and whether it helps, what "typical bill" means, how to read your bill.
