What Sets WGES Apart from the Rest?
The employee experience at WGES is very distinct from other companies. In addition to our great compensation package and bonus program, employees enjoy the ability to see how their contribution impacts the bottom line. Senior management is available, approachable and they help provide the right tools for success. Employees are encouraged to attend training seminars, continue their education, pursue professional certifications, be creative when improving processes and overall are given the tools to help them succeed. There is an active internal posting policy that allows branching out into other areas of the company. We host employee appreciation events every month, believe in a work/life balance, recognize and reward hard working employees; offer a casual yet professional environment, and proactively seek feedback on what is right and what can be improved. We strive to make the employee experience extraordinary.
WGES has long been recognized for its efforts to promote the development of renewable energy in the Mid-Atlantic region. Clean Air Partners, a Baltimore/Washington regional organization, honored WGES with its 2003 Clean Air Trendsetter Award for its innovative efforts in promoting wind power. In 2007, the County Executive of Montgomery County Maryland recognized WGES for its support of the County's Clean Energy Rewards program. All residential electricity supplies provided by WGES include 5& regional wind power as part of the supply portfolio, above the levels required by state legislation. Furthermore, WGES is a leading supplier of wind power to municipalities, governments as well as to private companies. Recently, WGES partnered with a local solar energy company and electrical construction firm to build one of the largest solar power system in Maryland.
