Presently the South Texas Electric Cooperative serves eight distribution cooperatives; Karnes, Wharton County, Victoria, Jackson, San Patricio, Nueces, Magic Valley and Medina electric cooperatives.

2010 Annual Report
2011 Annual Report
This year’s annual report cover features the Helena substation. The Helena substation is a distribution substation built to serve Karnes Electric Cooperative’s new Eagle Ford Shale load. As I reflect upon the challenge of the past year, it is clear that STEC addressed each challenge and moved forward with success. Construction programs for the Eagle Ford Shale boom are in place, the development of a new power resource is in process, and a financial package to implement STEC’s growth is structured. As always, the employees of STEC are leading the way with confidence and competence.
