PGW's EnergySense Program
| PGW’s EnergySense Program is made up of six initiatives that will help the company’s residential, commercial and industrial customers conserve energy and save money. It will also create new local jobs, reduce the region’s carbon dioxide emissions by 1.24 million tons, which is the equivalent of taking 200,000 cars off Philadelphia’s streets, and support Greenworks' plan to make Philadelphia the greenest city in America. |
