Rates Slashed for Consumers on Realines
Austin June 8 More than 35 000 Texans in rural areas around the Lower Colorado River Authority will see cheaper electricity this week after an operating agreement between the LCRA and Pedernales Electric Co op and LCREC. The plan, backed by Congressman Lyndon B Johnson, has LCRA operate the two cooperatives distribution systems, enabling substantial rate cuts from 2 50 and 2 45 monthly minimums to 1 25. The 25 year pact keeps cooperative identities while LCRA acts as operator.
