Perry Hall Farms Condo also lost power for 3 hrs. on Sunday. No word on what caused that outage?

We lost power for awhile early this afternoon too in Canterbury Apts. near White Marsh.

Everyday! Power was lost on Saturday morning at 6AM in the Hickoryhurst area, but nothing was said about that. BGE said we are aware and hope to have service restored by 10:00AM.

I am the one that called it in, we were eating dinner and all of sudden we heard a loud pop. My husband ran out side he thought it was our transformer outside of our house that was just replaced. Then we saw the wire on fire and smoking and we call the fire department,,

I live on seven courts and we lose power randomly at least twice a week now. It really is time to start making solar panels more powerful and more affordable, it's time to, you know, advance as a society and civilization. The sun is an unlimited power source and never goes out. BG&E can't seem to keep the power on for a whole week anymore. I'd love to just get off the grid completely, TBH. Solar, windmills, an artificial hydroelectric device in my yard. Oh wait, I need more money for that... lol

I was in Baskin-Bobbins on Sunday afternoon when the power went out. You could
only use cash and there was limited flavors of ice cream to choose. I asked one
worker if they were going to have a sale to get rid of some ice cream but no
response. Too bad.

Losing power for us, in our neighborhood, is a regular event. Even on the clearest, calmest days, the power will go out for no reason. On the Saturday before Easter, as I was busy baking, our power went out for about an hour.

I got our stats from BGE two years ago. Between March and August of that year we had 11 outages, and the blizzard and tropical storm outages that year weren't even included.

We've thought about investing in some solar panels, even just to cover those things that we would want to keep running during an outage. I think they would work better than the generator we now use, and probably be more cost efficient than a whole house generator. They would save us a little money throughout the year, and hopefully give some power to things when we have an outage. I'm just not sure it's worth the investment in a home that we want to sell.

There are times when BGE has an outage planned, because of a known issue that they must repair. Anyone with a computer can plan ahead for some outages:
