WGL (WGL Holdings, Inc. - NYSE: WGL) is announcing significant
changes in its approach to the market, demonstrating the iconic
company’s focus on providing diversified and tailored energy
solutions to consumers, government entities, and large and small
businesses. WGL, the parent company of Washington Gas, WGL Energy
(formerly Washington Gas Energy Services and Washington Gas Energy
Systems), WGL Midstream and Hampshire Gas, has updated its sales
strategy and established a new logo, tagline and design that will
be visible across the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area and the
nation. WGL intends to operate its businesses in a cohesive and
comprehensive team and brand, consistent with regulatory
requirements.
“WGL was founded with the purpose of improving the quality of
people’s lives. Today, we have changed the way we do business to
lead the nation’s energy marketplace,” said Terry D. McCallister,
Chairman and CEO of WGL. “As the range of energy options continues
to become more and more complex, WGL will work to provide the right
answers that make energy easy for our customers.”
With a focus not only on continued growth and investment
opportunities, but also on ways in which the company can provide
solutions in the energy space, the WGL transformation includes a
fitting new tagline – Energy Answers. Ask Us. Recognizing that
energy markets are growing increasingly complex, WGL is focused on
being an answer-oriented, technology and data-driven and adaptable
company and community partner. WGL’s portfolio, in addition to its
long history of distributing natural gas, includes power, renewable
energy platforms such as wind and solar, growing investment in
future innovations like resilient, reliable micro-grid and
distributed energy projects and investments in midstream natural
gas pipeline assets.
“Our diversity of offerings allows WGL to provide the best
answers for your questions, issues and energy needs. Our tools,
platforms and experts are backed by technology and customer
resources you can trust. We deliver sustainable value by becoming
trusted partners with our customers,” added Dr. Louis J.
Hutchinson, III, Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer of
WGL.
In FY2014, WGL added three states where it owns and manages
distributed generation assets – Indiana, Minnesota and New York;
completed a 2.6 megawatt project that will provide clean and
efficient energy to Santa Clara County, Ca., in partnership with
Bloom Energy; established a financing model that makes solar power
more accessible to business, municipalities, residents and school
systems; entered into a long-term relationship with GAIL Global, a
subsidiary of GAIL India, for the sale of up to 430,000 dekatherms
per day of natural gas for a term of approximately 20 years;
secured a landmark contract to provide power to the vast majority
of federal departments and agencies in the District of Columbia for
18 months, and all federal buildings in Maryland for two years;
invested $410 million in the Central Penn Pipeline as part of
Transco’s Atlantic Sunrise Project; and added 13,000 new gas
distribution customers in the Washington, metropolitan area, a
5-year high.
Throughout the transformation, the company continues to place a
high priority on being a supportive community partner and to
finding ways to give back to the cities and states in which it
operates. Because WGL’s employees are the foundation of this
transformation, significant changes were made internally as well,
including the creation of a new intranet and the rollout of a
streamlined sales strategy. Externally, the new logo, tagline and
design will serve to underscore WGL’s dedication to providing easy
energy solutions to customers large and small, across the U.S. and
through international partnerships. To view WGL’s transformation
