Enel X<\/a> advised SEPSPA on procurement practices to find an electricity supplier with the flexibility and experience to best meet its broader energy goals of low-cost electricity, long-term price stability, increased transparency, and the integration of renewable energy.<\/p>\n\u201cWGL Energy is honored to have been selected by SEPSPA, and we look forward to supporting the group\u2019s energy goals and objectives,\u201d said Mike McGinn, Vice President of Sales for WGL Energy. \u201cWe applaud SEPSPA for empowering counties to make cost-effective and sustainable choices in energy purchasing through its dedication and leadership.\u201d<\/p>\n
Collaborating with WGL Energy, SEPSPA has implemented a contract structure allowing for the wholesale purchase of competitively bid fixed-rate blocks of energy in the generation supply market, supplemented by energy sourced from hourly markets. This approach provides flexibility and cost-effectiveness, enabling access to low, transparent, and stable electricity prices.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis partnership is the result of years of collaboration between the collar counties in southeast\u00a0Pennsylvania, finding a smart way to be responsible environmental stewards while bringing down\u00a0energy costs to taxpayers,\u201d said Bucks County Commissioner Vice Chair Bob Harvie. \u201cFor Bucks\u00a0County, this agreement represents our administration\u2019s commitment to long-term and ongoing\u00a0sustainability efforts, and we are proud to be part of it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are excited to announce that we have selected a provider for our purchase of electricity,\u201d said Delaware County Council Member Elaine Paul Schaefer. \u201cThis will allow our counties to work together to create a more sustainable future for residents across our entire region and generations to come.”<\/p>\n
\u201cSEPSPA set out to explore pathways to power county operations that reflect our collective passion in supporting the environment and lower electricity costs,\u201d said Jamila Winder, Chair of the Montgomery County Board of Commissioners. \u201cWGL Energy\u2019s proposal to manage our portfolio aligned with our interest in increasing access to low and stable energy prices, future renewables, and efficient use of resources.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThe Sustainable Energy Partnership has taken an important step towards achieving its mission;\u00a0DVRPC applauds the counties’ commitment to action to realize their renewable energy targets,”\u00a0said\u00a0DVRPC Executive Director Ariella Maron. “This program exemplifies the power of regional partnerships, proving we can tackle large challenges, and lower costs, when we work together.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

The Sustainable Energy Partnership of Southeast Pennsylvania (SEPSPA) \u2014 a group composed of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties \u2014 has announced that it is awarding a five-year contract to WGL Energy to coordinate the purchase of retail electricity that will power the four counties\u2019 operations. SEPSPA was established in 2020 to explore pathways to purchase renewable energy operations for its four member counties. Through this partnership, the counties work together with the Delaware Valley Regional Planning Commission (DVRPC) to develop renewable energy strategies, access low and stable energy prices, and use resources more efficiently. SEPSPA has been committed to a competitive retail market approach to purchasing electricity for its county operations.<\/p>\n
