Gaithersburg, Maryland: commercial energy account guide

Local service context

For a Gaithersburg-area relocation, confirm the property's exact electric utility before using the prior site's Pepco product. For a new location, separate service availability from the choice of a supply product. A previous tenant's usage is useful context only when equipment and operating hours are comparable. Show construction, meter activation and occupancy as separate milestones, and state which parts of the forecast remain assumptions.

Apply the Maryland eligibility rules

Maryland offers competitive electric supply through licensed suppliers in eligible service territories. Establish the delivery utility and account class, and compare the applicable standard offer service arrangement with matching supplier terms. Utility and cooperative arrangements should be checked individually.

Natural gas supply choice is a separate inquiry tied to the distribution utility, tariff and eligible customer category. Record the gas utility, billed unit and current contract before seeking a comparison.

Account checks before requesting offers

For this Gaithersburg account, resolve the service-territory and contract questions below before using a price comparison. The current invoice, exact address and account class provide the starting evidence.

• Verify service capability and meter activation with the actual utility before agreeing to a supply start.
• List tenant equipment, opening hours and phased occupancy rather than presenting prior-tenant usage as a guaranteed future load.
• Confirm the exact service address, current bill and legal account holder before using a Gaithersburg comparison; city boundaries and utility boundaries need not coincide.
