The Combination of Exelon With BGE as it's Subsidiary Will Create an Epic Center for Minority Business Spend That Will Be Like No Other in the Baltimore Region

Exelon logo 

The Maryland Public Service Commission (PSC) has approved the merger between Exelon Corporation and Constellation Energy Group. Minority and women-owned firms should be elated that this step has been finalized. Initially, because Constellation Energy Group was not an obligor to the original (MOU PC-16) inclusionary agreement executed in January 2009 calling for minority business spend of 25%.

 

Finally, with BGE's existing exemplary inclusionary culture and becoming a subsidiary of Exelon whose procurement culture is so inclusive right now, is a winning combination for Greater Baltimore's women and minority owned firms.
