Baltimore, MD – Aug. 8, 2023 – Carim Khouzami, the President and CEO of BGE, addressed the extensive power outages caused by a devastating storm last night, calling it one of the worst the service area has seen in years.

Khouzami stated that 80% of customers are expected to have power restored by this evening, and 90% by tomorrow evening.
