BGE choosing ‘wasteful’ gas pipe replacement projects, consumer watchdog says
Baltimore Banner, Dec. 3, 2025
A consumer watchdog organization says that Baltimore’s utility company has been putting profits ahead of safety when it chooses how to replace gas pipes.
Baltimore Gas and Electric has been replacing hundreds of miles of pipe, including cast iron that dates to the 1800s, used to transport gas to homes. It’s expensive work, and costs are passed on to ratepayers, but a new report says the work is needlessly pricey — putting unnecessary burdens on ratepayers.
