With the anticipated rise in natural gas prices, the Philadelphia Gas Works (PGW) strongly encourages consumers to take steps to conserve energy this winter.

To prepare customers for the upcoming winter weather, PGW will conduct several conservation workshops at Home Depot stores in Philadelphia during October and November. The workshops will feature demonstrations on ways to conserve energy and winterize homes, with various conservation items such as weatherstripping, hot water heater blankets, and plastic for windows and caulk available for purchase.

A special conservation issue of PGW’s customer newsletter is being included with the October mailing of bills. Customers are encouraged to follow the inside tips for conserving energy. A second reminder issue will be mailed to customers with their December bills.

PGW will also promote its message of conservation on local public affairs radio shows and Philadelphia’s free cable station.

Founded in 1836, PGW is the nation's largest municipally owned natural gas utility, serving a half million residential, commercial, and industrial customers, and Philadelphia's choice for quality energy solutions.
