For over 70 years, Lancaster-based Wilco has offered electric, voice and data services to area homes and businesses. Recently, the company expanded its capabilities by introducing a Green Energy division. With energy rates expected to rise up to 50 percent in 2010, the new division provides services to help area businesses go green and save money.

"We are proud to be at the forefront of the green energy revolution and to help area businesses go green," said Roger Brubaker, president. "With the state of the economy and impending electric rate increases, businesses will need to look at ways to cut costs, which is what drove our decision to expand into the green energy market."

Wilco’s Green Energy division offers comprehensive services for businesses, including lighting system evaluations and audits, recycling services for fluorescent/HID lighting systems, energy management and consulting, solar and wind energy systems as well as utility rate analysis.
