BGE gas and electric delivery rates to rise more than 3% each of the next three years

Customers of Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. will see their rates for delivery of both gas and electricity increase over the next three years by an average of more than 3% a year under a plan approved late Thursday by state regulators. The rate increase authorized by a unanimous decision by the Maryland Public Service Commission will boost the average customers monthly bill by about $21.83 after three years.
