Can anyone address the questions above?

Your Pepco bill, including the WGES part, is for electricity. You're not receiving gas from WGES. Your gas bill is from Washington Gas.

To answer OP's question, Washington Gas and WGES are not the same company. (I don't think.) Even if they are, you have a natural gas account and an electricity account and you are being billed separately for each.

I'm just curious about the statement that clean currents and WGES are cheaper than Pepco. IME, this can go back and forth over the life of a fixed price contract, and clean currents in particular was more expensive than pepco, but I haven't checked lately.
PEPCO's prices fluctuate throughout the year. So, there may be a month or two where PEPCO's prices are lower. But, if you average prices out over a year, the completive suppliers are cheaper. You can compare rates here:

PEPCO bills for a delivery fee or something along those lines, and then adds WGES's bill for the electricity. Purchasing electricity from WGES is cheaper than purchasing from PEPCO and you get a guaranteed price for the length of you contract (usually one or two years). This is totally separate from your gas bill. You can purchase gas from WGES or Washington Gas.
There are other competitive suppliers in addition to WGES. I recommend Clean Currents which is also cheaper than PEPCO but includes wind power offsets for the amount of your bill. So, while your electricity comes from the same place and your neighbor's, you contribute to increased wind-generated electricity.

Am I being billed twice? We've been paying 1. A washington Gas Bill and 2. A PEPCO bill every month. I noticed just now that we are also paying Washington Gas and Electric large amounts on our PEPCO bill. How is this possible? Are the two combined somehow? Does anyone else have WGES listed on their PEPCO bill? GAH! I hate PEPCO so much.
