For 50 years, BGE has been defined by passionate leadership, dedicated people, and a steadfast commitment to excellence and our communities. The BGE Way of servant leadership has shaped our past and will guide our future. 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 this list with your help. Together, we’ll celebrate this milestone by making a meaningful difference—one service project at a time. This initiative reflects what makes BGE truly special: our shared commitment to serving others and strengthening communities.

At BGE, we do the right thing because it’s right. It affords me the freedom and ability to always do the next ‘right thing.’ And that’s not as common as it should be in our industry.

There aren’t many companies where the CEO is overseas, in the mud with you, drilling water wells. Seeing the joy on people’s faces when they have clean water is life-changing.

I’m working with people who typically live in their community. We know that we’re making sure they have water and sewer services in good condition and that they won’t fail and put them in an emergency.
