BALTIMORE, June 20, 2012Baltimore Gas and Electric Company (BGE)today announced

that the company is prepared for consecutive days of extremely high temperatures - nearing 100

degreesthroughout its central Maryland service area this week. The company expects to have

sufficient electric supply to meet anticipated demand, but encourages customers, as it does with

approaching storms, to take the time now to prepare and consider ways to conserve energy. In periods

of extended extreme weather, the company may activate its voluntary energy demand response

program,PeakRewardsSM. BGE will monitor its electrical grid with an eye toward minimizing impacts

on its customers.

As the first day of summer is coupled with a forecast of extremely high temperatures in the

region, BGE is encouraging customers to take the time now to consider ways they might conserve

energy, said Jeannette M. Mills, vice president and chief customer officer for BGE. Whether its

keeping curtains and blinds closed or delaying the use of heat-generating appliances such as ovens,

dishwashers and dryers until after 9 p.m. when the temperature begins to drop, these actions will help

customers better manage their energy use and summer energy bills. We thank our customers for their

support through this period of extremely hot weather.

In exchange for participation in the voluntary PeakRewards program, which is designed to defer

the need for construction of new and expensive power plants which helps lower the cost of electricity,
