About us
Bandera Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative that proudly distributes electricity to more than 28,000 members and more than 39,000 meters across seven counties in the Texas Hill Country. BEC is continually searching for new and innovative ways to promote energy efficiency, improve the convenience and access that our members have to information, and provide energy alternatives for our members. Many new advances are taking place that include high-speed fiber optic internet to members within the service territory and availability to renewable energy. Most notably, BEC recently completed a large-scale 1.9 megawatt ground-mounted solar farm. This system gives members the opportunity to utilize alternative energy sources regardless of their living situation. These exciting new initiatives have helped shape BEC through an unwavering focus on operational excellence and outstanding member service.

Our BEC crews have safely returned home after assisting Sam Houston Electric Cooperative in restoring power to communities affected by Hurricane Beryl. We're incredibly proud of their hard work, dedication, and relentless effort. 💪⚡️ Though our crews were on the front lines, it truly takes the combined effort of the entire utility workforce to ensure a safe and effective storm restoration. Together, we light the way. 🌟 #Teamwork #Dedication #StormRestoration #CommunityPower #BECStrong
