										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Based in Philadelphia, PECO is the largest electric and natural gas utility company in Pennsylvania, supplying energy to nearly 1.7 million customers and over 545,000 natural gas customers in the southeastern part of the state. PECO, a company with more than 2,000 employees, is a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation, the largest fully regulated utility company in the country with over 10 million customers.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The purpose of this company is to promote smart energy to provide safe, reliable, affordable, and clean energy and energy services for all its customers and the communities it serves. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Under the leadership of Dave Velázquez, who serves as president and CEO, PECO maintains its commitment to delivering service with a culture of excellence. Velázquez oversees all the company&#8217;s operations, ensuring customer satisfaction and service reliability. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">With a history of over 140 years of service in the Greater Philadelphia region, PECO, formerly known as Philadelphia Electric Company, was established in 1902, although its origins trace back to The Brush Electric Light Company of Philadelphia, founded in 1881, making it one of the largest and oldest utility companies in the United States, with roots in the work of Thomas Edison.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">As inventions brought new conveniences, the population grew, and industry developed, PECO began its growth to meet the increasing demand from its customers. The history and evolution of the development, distribution, and consumption of electricity and natural gas suggest that the demand for both will continue to rise.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Given this premise, PECO positions itself as the steward of efforts to help its customers make the best decisions regarding energy use and focuses on leading by example as an environmental leader. The legacy of this company is one of innovation and a commitment to learning, which also represents a commitment to the people who make up its customer base.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The company&#8217;s electric service area covers the entire city of Philadelphia and Delaware County; most of Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery counties; and the southeastern part of York County. The natural gas service area covers Delaware County; most of Bucks, Chester, and Montgomery counties; and a portion of Lancaster County.</span></p>

PECO, una empresa con más de 2,000 empleados, es una subsidiaria de Exelon Corporation, la empresa de servicios públicos totalmente regulada más grande del país con más de 10 millones de clientes. </span></p>

Velázquez supervisa todas las operaciones de la empresa, garantizando la satisfacción del cliente y la fiabilidad del servicio. Con una trayectoria de más de 140 años de servicio en la región de la Gran Philadelphia, </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">PECO, anteriormente conocida como Philadelphia Electric Company, se constituyó en 1902, aunque sus orígenes se remontan a The Brush Electric Light Company de Philadelphia, fundada en 1881, lo que la convierte en una de las empresas de servicios públicos más grandes y antiguas de Estados Unidos, con raíces en el trabajo de Thomas Edison.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A medida que los inventos trajeron consigo nuevas comodidades, la población creció y la industria se desarrolló, PECO comenzó su crecimiento para satisfacer la creciente demanda de sus clientes. La historia y la evolución del desarrollo, la distribución y el consumo de electricidad y gas natural sugieren que la demanda de ambos seguirá aumentando. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ante esta premisa, PECO se presenta como el administrador de los esfuerzos para ayudar a sus clientes a tomar las mejores decisiones sobre el uso de la energía y se centra en dar el ejemplo como líder medioambiental. El legado de esta empresa es el de la innovación y el compromiso con el aprendizaje, que también se trata de un compromiso con las personas que conforman su cartera de clientes.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">El área de servicio eléctrico de la empresa cubre toda la ciudad de Philadelphia y el condado de Delaware; la mayor parte de los condados de Bucks, Chester y Montgomery; y la zona sureste del condado de York.
