关于我们
Bandera Electric Cooperative is a not-for-profit, member-owned cooperative that proudly distributes electricity to more than 28,000 members and more than 39,000 meters across seven counties in the Texas Hill Country. BEC is continually searching for new and innovative ways to promote energy efficiency, improve the convenience and access that our members have to information, and provide energy alternatives for our members. Many new advances are taking place that include high-speed fiber optic internet to members within the service territory and availability to renewable energy. Most notably, BEC recently completed a large-scale 1.9 megawatt ground-mounted solar farm. This system gives members the opportunity to utilize alternative energy sources regardless of their living situation. These exciting new initiatives have helped shape BEC through an unwavering focus on operational excellence and outstanding member service.

We’re proud to have our CEO,?William Hetherington, representing BEC and BEC Fiber at the Fiber Broadband Association's San Antonio Regional Fiber Connect Conference, sharing insights on the critical role of broadband expansion in rural Texas! Bill's work with Texas Governor Abbott’s Broadband Deployment Council continues to drive meaningful progress in bridging the digital divide and ensuring more communities gain access to reliable fiber broadband. Exciting times ahead as we work toward a more connected Texas! #BroadbandForAll #RuralConnectivity #FiberBroadband #TexasBroadband #BECFiber #RegionalFiberConnect
?? San Antonio Regional Fiber Connect is officially underway! ?? We kicked off with an insightful Opening Keynote: "Resilient Growth: 2025 Texas Economic Outlook" by Pia Orrenius, PhD, Vice President of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas, exploring the key economic factors shaping broadband expansion in Texas. The day continues with engaging discussions, including how Lampasas, TX, overcame broadband challenges, and a Fireside Chat featuring William Hetherington, CEO of Bandera Electric Cooperative, and Evann Freeman, VP of Government and Community Relations at EPB. They highlighted how electric utilities are increasingly overlaying fiber service, with Bill emphasizing that fiber is the best technology for internet connectivity because it's the end-game. Looking forward to a full day of insights, collaboration, and innovation! Stay tuned for more updates. #FiberBroadband #RegionalFiberConnect #BroadbandForAll #TexasConnectivity #FutureProof
