How Energy Supply Works in Maryland
- Your utility continues delivering energy, maintaining lines (electricity), pipes (natural gas) and handling outages
- A supplier provides the electricity or natural gas supply portion of your service
- Choosing a supplier does not change reliability or emergency response
How Electricity & Natural Gas Gets to Your Business
It starts with energy supply being generated and then bought by suppliers in the market. You pick a plan for your business and the utility delivers the electricity and/or natural gas to your location, regardless of who your supplier is.
How Switching Suppliers Works
Switching suppliers in Maryland typically involves:
- Viewing pricing and plan types
- Selecting a supply plan (supply rate + term length)
- Deciding when you want to switch
- Signing your new contract
When you switch suppliers, there are no service interruptions or equipment changes and your utility remains the same.
