Statement from BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco on Gov. Moore’s Data Center Development Executive Order

We applaud the Governor's focus on transparency and customer protections as Maryland's energy needs grow. As demand from large energy users increases, it can drive up supply costs across the region - costs that are ultimately borne by customers. That's why we have long supported a simple principle: large new energy users should pay for the infrastructure needed to serve them, rather than shifting those costs to families and existing businesses.

Exelon has already secured more than $1 billion in customer protections through Transmission Security Agreements across our utilities, and BGE, Delmarva Power and Pepco are advancing similar protections through the Large Load Tariff proceeding before the Maryland Public Service Commission. We look forward to continuing to work with the Governor, General Assembly and regulators to protect customers while supporting responsible growth.
