BGE has a two-year virtual power plant pilot for batteries and EVs before the PSC (Case 9761); we could not confirm sign-up terms. We found no BGE solar or battery purchase rebate. |
| The Potomac Edison Company | investor-owned | Its Maryland page says it has no rebate or incentive for customer-owned generation. A bill insert lists HVAC and heat pump water heater discounts through Dec. 31, 2026 (we did not confirm amounts), and it filed a battery and EV virtual power plant pilot. |
