A 强大的过去 充满活力的未来.
在20世纪30年代早期，美国大部分农村地区都处于黑暗之中. Power suppliers did not expand their lines to reach the people living outside of the cities.
In 1936, Congress created the Rural Electrification Administration (REA) to provide commercial electric companies loans to supply power to rural areas.
瓜达卢佩谷电力合作社成立于12月2日, 1938, by a group of rural residents in the Cost area who needed electricity for their farms. 4月5日, 1939, the REA approved the first loan to the Cooperative in the amount of $166,用于建设农村电力线路. Construction began in May of 1939, and eight months later, the first 356体育 lines went into service. Approximately 150 成员 in the Monthalia-Bebe area of Gonzales County were the first to receive electricity from 356体育. 我们帮助农村地区的居民摆脱了黑暗.
Our story began in 1938 with our pioneering leaders coming together to serve electricity to their local farms and neighbors. Over the years, 356体育’s offerings have grown more diverse along with our South Central Texas audience. Although we continue to serve electricity, we are not just an electric utility.
