An extended stretch of hot weather is expected this week, with Thursday, July 2, forecasted to be the peak-demand day as temperatures are expected to reach 100 degrees. As our community prepares for the heat, Westfield Gas + Electric (WG+E) is preparing for increased energy demand and encouraging customers to help conserve energy when possible.
Westfield Gas & Electric is proud to be one of 40 locally owned utilities serving communities across Massachusetts. As a public power utility, we are guided by the core principles that have defined municipal utilities for generations: safety, local control, affordability, reliability, and accountability to the ratepayers we serve.
Westfield Gas + Electric is once again turning an important safety message into a community-wide treasure hunt!
Westfield Gas + Electric announced that its Home Plus Program is now open to all eligible Westfield homeowners. Previously available only to residents in designated areas, the program now extends its benefits city-wide, giving more WG+E customers access to meaningful financial support as they make the switch to energy-efficient heating systems and upgrades.
During hot summer days, WG+E may ask customers on social media to reduce their electricity use during peak hours. These short periods are when demand for electricity across the grid is at its highest.
