Deregulation of electricity and natural gas markets in Pennsylvania is giving residential andcommercial consumers (including green hotels) the opportunity to choose theirutility providers and save big money on their energy costs as a result. Green hotels in Philadelphiaare beefing up their energy efficiencystrategies in order to maximize the savings they can achieve thanks toderegulation. Thats a smart move, because estimates are that hotels lacking anenergy efficiency strategy that also bypass this chance to pick their utilityprovider will end up paying as much as36% more for energy than they have to. In response, people like Francine Cohen of PhilaGreen HospitalityAssociation are promoting sustainability in hotels, restaurants and facilitiesin the City of Brotherly Love.The association held a seminar on July 13th presenting practicalways for Philadelphiasgreen hotels to save on their water and electric bills.
