On behalf of City Council President Cohen, I am reaching out to invite you to a community outreach event in the Allendale Community to fight BGE’s requested $156 million electric distribution rate hike. If approved, this rate hike would increase the average customer’s bill by over $100 per year.

On Saturday, October 3, at 1 pm, we will knock on doors and ask residents to sign this petition opposing BGE’s request. The Public Service Commission, BGE’s regulator, cited a previous petition campaign organized by the City Council in denying much of a previous BGE rate request. We are looking to collect even more signatures than we did last time. Please arrive before 1pm to allow proper time for assembly. 

We’ll hold a brief press conference at the start of the event, then split up and knock on doors in small groups.

We will provide water and snacks, and restrooms will be available.

Please RSVP here. A calendar invite with a meeting location will be sent upon RSVP. 

More information about the proposed rate hike from the Maryland Office of People’s Counsel is attached. Please read thoroughly. 

On behalf of the Allendale Community Association, I look forward to seeing you there!
