Maryland has deregulated electricity and natural gas markets, which allows commercial customers to choose their energy supplier while the utility still delivers the power or gas. By comparing offers and locking in a fixed rate per kilowatt hour (kWh) or therm, businesses can protect against seasonal price spikes and lower their utility bills.
