PEC Cares

• When operating a large fleet of vehicles, small practices can make a big difference. PEC fuels vehicles overnight, outside of the high-emission late morning period. And, keeping vehicles on a rigorous maintenance schedule helps reduce pollution.
• PEC has eight electric vehicle charging docks at our offices in Johnson City and Marble Falls, providing employees and members new opportunities to reduce emissions. PEC has also introduced plug-in electric vehicles to our commercial fleet, and will review annually to decide if more should be added.
• During the hot summer months from June to September, PEC uses our communications channels to encourage employees and members to conserve electricity usage — particularly on the days when electricity usage is highest. This includes a partnership with KVUE’s Project Green outreach and education initiative to encourage conserving energy and shifting energy use outside of peak times, which not only helps the environment but also helps protect the Texas electric grid.
• Recently, PEC started reseeding easements with food plots that will save money by reducing the need to mow, while also benefiting animals and pollinating insects.
• Our vegetation and system maintenance practices help reduce wildfires — and make it easier to fight them should they occur.
• In 2019, PEC proactively launched efforts to help protect monarchs and voluntarily implemented solutions to benefit the environment, wildlife, and members long-term. These efforts include building a certified monarch butterfly way station at PEC’s headquarters in Johnson City, and providing free pollinator seed packets to members.

At PEC, we understand that different members have different priorities for their electric service, and we offer rates and programs to suit them all. If you are interested in making your energy consumption more environmentally friendly, review the options below.
