The story

Central Texas Electric Cooperative was formed in 1947 as a split-off from neighboring Pedernales Electric Cooperative. Lyndon B. Johnson (TX-D), congressman and senator from the area, was instrumental in the creation of both cooperatives.

The Co-op lost an important lawsuit in 2013 against Lower Colorado River Authority.

In February 2021, thousands of Central Texas customers lost electricity, while Ted Cruz (TX-R) was in Cancún.

In October 2022, Central Texas CEO Robert A. "Bob" Loth retired after 38 years, to be replaced by Atanacio “Tachi” Hinojosa.

The Co-op's customers were spared the worst of the July 2025 Central Texas floods, but mourned with their neighbors.
