Business Wire
WGL Energy Services (WGL Energy), a WGL company (NYSE: WGL),
today announced that the Pennsylvania Department of General
Services has signed a three-year contract for Green-e® Energy
certified wind renewable energy certificates (RECs) sourced from
wind farms throughout the United States. The Pennsylvania
Department of General Services (DGS) helps PA state government
operate more efficiently, effectively and safely by providing
shared services to support the business operations of all agencies
of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania.
Demonstrating its commitment to environmental sustainability,
DGS will match almost 400,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of its
electricity load with national wind RECs under the contract which
ends in 2018. This is equivalent to taking more than 55,000 cars
off the road for one year. DGS will be increasing the match of RECs
to the electricity usage of its executive agencies from 10 percent
to 30 percent over this 3-year contract.
“We are proud to support the Pennsylvania Department of General
Services with our wind RECs, and help drive its on-going strategy
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and embrace sustainability
programs,” said Sanjiv Mahan, president, WGL Energy.
As a leading supplier of renewable energy and green products,
WGL Energy is a two-time recipient of the Environmental Protection
Agency’s prestigious Green Power Supplier of the Year Award. In
addition to significant wind RECs supply, WGL Energy is active in
other areas of renewable energy with more than 170 megawatts (MW)
of distributed generation under contract in markets across the
United States.
