When I was b/w jobs in 2004, I had an interview with the MD Public Service Commission (PSC). In the midst of our friendly banter, they brought up the energy deregulation in MD, to which I said "whaaaa??". I mentioned that no one I knew in MD knew about this, to which they were all dumbfounded.
Then we started talking about how real people made choices when they had inadequate information. Like when I got phone service at home. Verizon asked me what long distance carrier I wanted, to which I said, what are my choices, to which the Verizon person said there were over 50 choices but Verizon apparently didn't have any more info on the option/prices of each. Well then how the F am I supposed to make an informed decision??!!! Needless to say we didn't get long distance service. 
Anyway, it doesn't look like BGE is screwing us compared to what the other companies are charging for electricity. If you see a good deal, please let us know.
