Pedernales Electric Cooperative company history timeline

1938

1938 LBJ and representatives from Blanco, Burnet, Gillespie, Hays and Llano counties meet to sign an official document incorporating a “Pedernales Electric Cooperative.” LBJ, now a 28-year-old congressman, lobbies the Roosevelt administration to bring electricity to the region.

The cooperative — now serving almost 1 million people — has grown by a factor of 100 since our founding in 1938, just 79 years ago.

1939

1939 PEC energizes its first 1,800-mile section of line in Burnet County, and for the first time, electric lighting illuminates the Hill Country.

1942

1942 America’s electric cooperatives form the National Rural Electric Cooperative Association (NRECA) to provide a unified voice for American cooperatives and to represent their interests in Washington, D.C.

1959

1959 PEC installs street lights in Lago Vista, which becomes the first rural community in the nation with illuminated streets.

1986

1986 Hill Country growth is skyrocketing — just five years after hitting the 50,000-meter milestone, PEC installs its 75,000th meter.

2019

2019 was marked with exceptional growth across Central Texas communities — and PEC’s service territory was no exception.

The Buda Chamber of Commerce named PEC its 2019 Large Business of the Year.

J.D. Power ranked us among the top 10 of all cooperatives for customer satisfaction in its 2019 syndicated survey.

2019 marked the 30th anniversary of the Johnson City Lights Spectacular.
