Washington Gas

What this pass recorded. Nothing confirmed specific to Washington Gas this pass. The distinguishing feature is that gas utilities have historically collected far coarser data than electric ones - a gas meter does not produce appliance-level signatures the way 15-minute electrical interval data does, which is what made the Naperville analysis possible. That gap is closing as gas smart metering deploys. For a DMV household, the practical reality is that Washington Gas and an Exelon electric utility together see enough to reconstruct occupancy patterns with confidence, and no single privacy policy covers the combination because they are separate companies.

Arbitration

Not independently confirmed this pass.

Data sharing

Not independently confirmed this pass with a specific named privacy lawsuit. MAJOR UPDATE: see the Pepco row (this same tab) for a detailed DC Attorney General warning about deceptive THIRD-PARTY ENERGY SUPPLIERS specifically exploiting Washington Gas/Pepco customer relationships — including a case where a DC resident's bill was switched (apparently without consent) to 'WGL Energy Svcs,' an entity RELATED TO Washington Gas, with the monthly bill reportedly climbing from $75 to $800 (anecdote carried from the Pepco row; not independently re-verified here). This is directly relevant given Washington Gas's own name similarity to the entity involved in the alleged unauthorized switch.
