Am I eligible?

Small Business Energy Solutions is open to BGE business customers on rate schedules G and GS. To determine your rate schedule, look under the “Electric Details” section of your BGE distribution bill.

How do I participate?
  • Make the call. Get started by calling the participating contractor assigned to your area. The contractor will visit your facility and conduct a detailed assessment of your energy use. The assessment is included as part of your BGE service, so there’s no additional cost to you!
  • Review recommendations. You’ll receive a list of recommended energy-saving upgrades to lighting and/or refrigeration controls, noting the costs, available incentives and payback period.
  • Make the upgrades. Have your participating contractor install the recommended energy-saving measures. Remember to ask if you’re eligible for our Small Business Energy Advance, which lets you pay your 30% of the cost over 12 monthly payments with no interest.
  • Enjoy the savings. Watch your energy and maintenance cost savings accumulate over the lifetime of the installed products, leading to substantial long-term savings.
