Good Day to all of you in Maryland. I live in suburbs of Dallas, TX. Our local provider also raised their rates 86 % since 2002. In May 2006, our local provider posted 574 M just for the first quarter. Meanwhile many families are sacrificing daily necessities so that we can be able to pay our electricity bill. I joined Powermax Energy because I was tired of paying higher electricity bill and at the same time I can help friends and family save money on their electricity bill. Beginning July 1, 2006 we will be able to help you save money. We offer savings on your residential and commercial accounts. You can also take advantage of helping other people by joining our team. Contact me to take advantage of this great opportunity.

Have a great day!

I would like some info on the $500 million (+-) that was set aside by the State to protect BG&E from deregulation losses, which I understand was never needed because BG&E prospered well during this time.

Does BG&E now owe this money back?

Thanks,
Bill Parsons

Thanks for reposting. I don’t hear the rate hike buzz in VA, so I guess Dominion Power doesn’t have one coming up. I think that it’s great you can cover the jump, but the best thing is definitely helping the low income folks that can’t afford a jump at once.

I heard something on the radio that really made me flip out this week. The gov’t in MD wants to allocate more money for low income heating assistance. I’m sorry, why not just transfer that money over to Constellation Energy’s bottom line and keep rates low? Sounds like the same thing to me.

I think the government of Robert Erlich’s got it all wrong. They really need to put that money forward to help folks make their homes more energy efficient, not help them pay the bill. The long term fix is to make sure the windows are fixed, the roofs don’t leak, and the insulation is sound, not just pay out more money. Sorry to get all political sounding in a comment, but I really think there is a better way to control the cost. If the gov’t is willing to spend all this money, they need to allocate it the right way. Control the amount of electricity/gas being consumed and then you control the cost. I don’t understand why they’d want only to control the cost.

It’s been bugging me for days since I heard it this week.
