Waco, McLennan County
The first generation and transmission electric cooperative in Texas, this corporation was organized in February 1941 by eleven small electric cooperatives which had been established under the rural electrification administration. With a goal of providing affordable wholesale power costs and improved service to its members, the cooperative first established offices in Fort Worth. In 1945 the headquarters were moved to Waco, and service eventually was extended to a large area of central and North Texas.
