If you have questions about the retail electricity supplier charges on your bill, contact your retail electricity supplier directly.

Your electricity service can be terminated for non-payment of both your utility and retail electricity supplier charges. If you receive a termination notice from your utility, you should contact your utility.

If you are unable to resolve a dispute with your utility or your retail electricity supplier directly, you may bring your concerns to the Maryland PSC’s Consumer Affairs Division by calling 410-767-8028 or online using the complaint form on the consumer information page.

You can also contact the Office of People’s Counsel, an independent state agency that represents the interests of Maryland’s residential utility customers before the PSC. You can contact OPC by calling 1-800-207-4055.
