“Community Energy is pleased to offer Duquesne Light customers the opportunity to switch to 100 percent clean, locally made electricity,” says Jay Carlis, vice president at Community Energy. “Pittsburgh institutions joined us in leading renewable energy in the Keystone State over a decade ago. We are excited to now bring our clean energy option to residential customers.”
