As we celebrate this milestone, we remain focused on Serving, Leading, and Solving—today, tomorrow, and for generations to come.
As part of our 50th-anniversary celebration, we’re proud to launch the 50 for 50 Community Service Initiative—a year-long effort to give back to the communities that have supported us over the decades. Through this initiative, BGE is committed to supporting 50 local organizations across our company, strengthening our impact through service.
Many of our teams already partner with outstanding charities, and we’re excited to expand our reach. This initiative reflects what makes BGE truly special: our shared commitment to serving others and strengthening communities.
