ABOUT LEA COUNTY ELECTRIC COOPERATIVE

Our cooperative came to fruition in 1949 after a group of Lea County citizens banded together to develop an electrical service for people in rural areas not powered by the central station. In the beginning, we established 136 miles of electrical distribution lines that served around 1,250 consumers. Through technological advances and modern updates, we've greatly expanded our services to power more than 7,000 consumers with over 4,300 miles of energized lines for residential, commercial, and industrial services. Now, we provide energy to portions of six counties in New Mexico and Texas. We take pride in helping light up our community!

Sales budgeted at 121 million dollars in revenue and 1.27 billion kilowatts.

Our organization was founded on a desire to help others, and we still hold that dream today. To achieve our goals, we start by treating our employees well and fostering their development. We offer ongoing training and educational opportunities so our employees can grow their skills and expand their knowledge. Additionally, we provide our team with great wages, generous benefits, and a supportive, friendly work environment.
