As part of the 2014 WGL rebrand, WGL leadership identified the need to establish a new business unit, Economic Development, to attract revenue opportunities currently outside of the scope of the traditional gas utility business model.  This WGL business unit strategically pursues direct revenue-generating opportunities and also proactively pursues political and policy opportunities that can drive future business.

With the strategic goal of increasing revenue growth, Economic Development strives to create a balance between the traditional sales approach and proactive market creation.

• Institutions 
• Private/Commercial
• Additional Opportunities
