BGE is sending crews to Florida as Hurricane Milton is expected to hit overnight.
The major hurricane is projected to landfall just days after Hurricane Helene battered the state’s west coast.
Local utility companies are gearing up to assist with more than 40 employees of BGE heading to Tampa to help restore power after the storm. The team includes line workers, fleet specialists, safety personnel, and other support staff.

A total of 15 crews are expected to help repair the damage in Florida. BGE and its parent company, Exelon, are working with mutual assistance networks to share resources, including labor and equipment.
Last week, the Maryland National Guard was deployed to North Carolina to assist with recovery efforts following Hurricane Helene. BGE’s team also recently returned from assisting after that storm, and now they are preparing to help again.
Crews are expected to remain in Florida for about two weeks, and BGE is prepared to send more help if needed.
