PSC sets tight schedule for BGE rate case; final order due Jan. 28, 2027
Summary
The Commission read a detailed procedural schedule into the record for BGE Case No. 9888: direct testimony Sept. 25, rebuttal filings in October/November, evidentiary hearings the week of Nov. 13, 2026, and a final order due Jan. 28, 2027.
Commission staff read a detailed procedural timetable on the record for Baltimore Gas and Electric's Case No. 9888, placing multiple filing and hearing deadlines across late 2026 and early 2027.
Staff counsel Lloyd Spivak said, "BG filed this application on July 2, and that really kinda sets the, time frame for the rest of the case, that set the clock running." Staff described the schedule: direct testimony by parties (other than BGE) due Friday, Sept. 25; rebuttal testimony due Oct. 22, 2026 (with an additional rebuttal filing window noted for Nov. 9); BGE to file an update to adjustments on Nov. 3 with expedited discovery; staff to file a comparison chart of party positions on Nov. 12; evidentiary hearings scheduled beginning Friday, Nov. 13 and continuing the week of Nov. 16 (Nov. 16, 18, 19, 20); initial briefs due Dec. 10; reply briefs due Dec. 23; and a final order due Jan. 28, 2027.
The Commission and parties noted the schedule is "pretty tight," and that briefing lengths traditionally are settled after evidentiary hearings based on complexity. CCAN's counsel raised that the record scheduling did not explicitly set aside time for public participation, and the Commission confirmed public hearings and public participation are handled through a separate process.
Why it matters: The timetable sets the pace for discovery, testimony and hearings in a case that will determine proposed rate changes effective in January 2027, and parties must act quickly to preserve rights and prepare testimony under compressed deadlines.
