Members of the Maryland congressional delegation and the U.S. secretary of housing and urban development joined Friday to congratulate Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. for receiving $200 million in federal stimulus grants to support efforts to modernize the electricity grid in Maryland.
The U.S. Department of Energy announced this week that BGE received among the largest subsidies to help provide about 2 million “smart meters” and other technology to display real-time data about consumers’ energy usage in homes and businesses. The data could help consumers make choices to reduce energy use.
