Bandera Electric operates as a nonprofit distribution cooperative, purchasing electricity from wholesale providers, overseeing its transmission, and ensuring safe, reliable delivery to members through the co-op’s power lines. Learn more about who we are.
Welcome to Bandera Electric Cooperative!
As a new member-owner, we’re proud to have you join our cooperative and look forward to helping you make the most of your membership.
The Meaning of Cooperative Membership
The cooperative business model means our member-owners are at the heart of everything we do. Members of Bandera Electric share our success through capital credits, have a voice in the co-op through Board of Directors elections, and benefit from innovative programs and services that improve energy efficiency and reduce costs.
At Bandera Electric Cooperative, our commitment to community goes beyond providing electric service. We invest in our local youth through annual scholarships and Youth Tour, give back through donations and sponsorships, and support nonprofits through the BEC Foundation and LCRA’s Community Development Partnership Program.
Bandera Electric Cooperative is guided by the Seven Cooperative Principles, which set us apart from traditional utilities and keep our members at the center of everything we do.
These principles mean you have a voice in the co-op, share in its value, and benefit from our commitment to reliability, innovation, education, and strengthening the communities we serve.
