Old Blanco Courthouse receives PEC grant

Pedernales Electric Cooperative awarded nearly $40,000 in community grants to nine area nonprofits this month.

The community grants are made possible through the generosity of members enrolled in the cooperative’s Power of Change Program. The voluntary program allows PEC members to give back by rounding up their electric bills to the nearest dollar or making a one-time donation through PayPal or Venmo. In 10 years, the program has raised more than $1 million.

PEC grant recipients can use funds for projects related to capital improvements, energy efficiency, and technology to further their missions that keep our communities strong.
