You may also seek help from the Community Assistance Network (CAN) www.canconnects.org and the Fuel Fund of Maryland http://www.fuelfundmaryland.org/get-assistance.

NOTE: These agencies  (CEA, CAN, and the Fuel Fund) use the same funding source for utility assistance, so you can use only one of these agencies (the first one to help you). You may receive assistance once during the fiscal year (July 1 through June 30).

You will not be able to receive assistance if you have a payment plan or if you are registered for budget billing. You will need to remove yourself from these programs before applying for assistance. You can reach the BGE customer service line at 800-685-0123.
