This year, Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) is proudly joining its members and communities in celebrating its 85th anniversary and the electrification of the Texas Hill Country. Before PEC was founded, most Central Texans living in cities like Austin and San Antonio had electricity, but more than 90% of rural families did not.
