Taylor Electric Co-Op

226 Co Rd 287, Merkel, Texas, United States | Electric Power

Taylor Electric Cooperative is an electric utility owned by the members it serves and guided by seven cooperative principles. The cooperative serves over 10,000 members in and around Abilene, Texas. 

The original mission statement of Taylor Electric Cooperative, Inc. was adopted in 1941 in Merkel, Texas. The intent was simple, clear and heartfelt: to help the people who were forgotten by the large and powerful investor-owned electric companies, those from the heartland who needed assistance the most - rural Americans!

Texas Co-op Power is a free magazine mailed to 1.2 million Texas electric cooperative members each month. It is published to enhance the quality of life of members in an educational and entertaining format. The magazine includes local pages personalized for Taylor EC members. 

The operations at Taylor EC are overseen by an elected Board of Directors. The seven directors meet monthly and work hand in hand with the CEO to provide efficient service and reliability to the membership. 

All directors are required to attend trainings and receive certifications for information and updates on local, state and federal energy issues. Training also insures all directors are competent to understand and work within the national energy market. 

Nominees are presented to a formal nomination committee for interview and consideration each February prior to the annual meeting. Members vote on the selected candidates during the annual membership meeting in April.

The Taylor EC service area is divided into three service zones by county for equal representation as noted:

Zone 1: Taylor
Zone 2: Callahan, Eastland, Jones, Shackelford 
Zone 3: Coke, Fisher, Nolan 

Each zone is represented by two directors in addition to one at-large director. Directors serve three year terms.
