Welcome to Southwest Texas Electric Cooperative!

As a local member-owned electric co-op, we were founded on the concept of providing dependable, cost-efficient power to residential, commercial and agricultural consumer-members. 

Southwest Texas Electric Cooperative is a member owned electric utility that serves all or parts of Schleicher, Sutton, Menard, Tom Green, Irion, Reagan, Upton, Crockett, Pecos, Val Verde, Concho, and Edwards counties.

Chartered in 1939, Southwest Texas Electric Cooperative provides electric service to around 9,867 meters within 7,200 square miles of rural West Texas.
