Westfield Gas & Electric(WGE) is a municipal utilities firm located in far western Massachusetts in the former mill town of Westfield, MA. WGE was founded in 1899 and they supply the electric, natural gas service, and some of the high-bandwidth fiber optics telecommunications to the city. WGE is a certified Reliable Public Power Provider, and highly-regarded for outstanding customer service by their clients. I have worked with the folks at WGE for several years, helping them to build and manage their risk management and business continuity program, and I’m really proud of the job that these guys have done preparing themselves and their community for potential emergency situations. They’ve been through some powerful winter storms as well as freak tornadoes and even the remnants of a hurricane, and during those times they’ve quickly restored services to their customers as well as maintaining their own business operations and communications to the region. Well done guys!
