Conservation and efficiency are not at odds with profitability in Maryland; the state is one of only a few to have removed incentives for electric utilities to sell more energy to make more money. Baltimore Gas and Electric (BGE) provides tips to businesses on improving efficiency.

BGE offers an Economic Incentive Development Rate that provides three and five year price reductions, providing temporary price reductions on qualifying new electric load when it's combined with employment expansion.

Clean Energy Incentive
The Maryland Clean Energy Incentive Act establishes a program to award tax credits to individuals and corporations that use qualified energy resources at a qualifying Maryland facility to produce electricity.
