WGL, which has provided energy solutions to the District of Columbia for more than 165 years, has been selected to supply approximately 400,000 megawatt hours (MWh) of electricity to more than 700 city government accounts. Service to these accounts started this month.

The Electricity Service and Supply Contract awarded by the D.C. Department of General Service (DGS) to WGL Energy Services provides a flexible way to ensure electricity powered by a complete ecosystem of energy sources, including renewables such as solar and wind.

“We are pleased to have been selected by the District as the supplier for city government accounts,” said Louis J. Hutchinson, Vice President and Chief Revenue Officer for WGL, the parent company of WGL Energy. “By continuing – and expanding – our relationship with a key energy customer and partner, WGL is helping the District manage energy as an asset by becoming more energy efficient, reducing volatility and lowering its carbon footprint.”

“Transitioning from a 100 percent fixed price, full-requirements purchasing contract to a block and index strategy saves taxpayers money, while enabling the District government to integrate renewable and cost-saving wind power into our electricity supply,” said Mark Chambers, Sustainability and Energy Management Director at DGS.

Under the new strategy, DGS will purchase blocks of electricity at fixed rates and the remaining portion on the PJM real-time market. The strategy provides a highly structured and progressive approach to purchasing energy, which mitigates market volatility and helps stabilize energy costs over time.
