For emergencies, call 800.685.0123, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If there’s a downed or damaged power line or if you smell natural gas, first make sure you’re safe by leaving the area immediately, then call BGE to report the emergency.

For power outages, call 877.778.2222, 24 hours a day, seven days a week. If there’s a power outage, BGE relies on you to call it in. Make sure the phone number on your account is handy, as the utility will use it to verify your identity and location.
