WASHINGTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--WGL Energy Services, Inc. (WGL Energy) announced today it has been chosen to supply approximately 680,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity per year to power 1,130 city government accounts in Philadelphia. WGL Energy began delivering service in December 2019.
Under the terms of the contract, WGL Energy will provide competitive electricity supply and services for all government buildings in Philadelphia, including City Hall, the Philadelphia International Airport, Philadelphia Water Department, administration offices, as well as justice and public safety facilities and city services buildings.
