Despite record-breaking heat wave, PEC service remains undisrupted

Despite a record-breaking heat wave in Central Texas last week, Pedernales Electric Cooperative (PEC) officials said service remained undisrupted.

A peak high energy forecast lasted from July 19 to 23, leading PEC to push out information via social media about conservation methods customers could use to do their part to prevent service blackouts, spokesman Mike Viesca said.

“We encouraged members and industrial and commercial customers to voluntarily conserve energy if they could,” Viesca said.
