PEC seeks joint operation with Johnson City for lower rates
Stonewall PEC reports progress toward a joint operating agreement with Congressman Lyndon Johnson to run the PEC and the Lower Colorado River Cooperative. The plan would yield a $1.25 minimum for 115 kilowatts and lower rates for additional usage. Brown Root aims to finish lines in early April and transfer them to PEC. The project, praised by Hugo Weinheimer, highlights rural electrification benefits and urges wider access.
