Strategic Alliances TEC has a growing pattern of strategic alliances with multiple electric cooperatives (e.g., Upshur Rural Electric Cooperative, Swisher Electric Cooperative, Harmon Electric Association, Rayburn Electric Cooperative, Bowie-Cass Electric Cooperative, SWRE). This presents an opportunity to offer shared services, technology upgrades, or supplier agreements that can be rolled out across TEC’s cooperative network and affiliated members.

Technology Stack TEC already leverages enterprise systems like SAP SuccessFactors, SAP, Power BI, Microsoft 365, Google Cloud, ESRI, SolarWinds, and Active Directory. There is potential to deepen partnerships around data analytics, cybersecurity, cloud optimization, ERP integration, and field workforce management to improve efficiency, safety training, and asset management.

Operations & Logistics With a 160,000 square-foot HQ and a regional role in supplying equipment to 26 co-ops, TEC could benefit from enhanced supply chain solutions, warehousing optimization, inventory analytics, and logistics automation to reduce costs and improve reliability across the Texas cooperative network.

Safety & Training TEC runs extensive safety briefings and technical schools for thousands of utility workers annually. This highlights opportunities for training technology platforms, e-learning scalability, certification management, and safety analytics solutions that can be shared across member cooperatives.

Financial Scale & Market With annual revenue in the high hundreds of millions and a staff footprint across Texas, TEC represents a sizable centralized buyer for large-scale solutions (IT, security, equipment, and professional services) that can be marketed via a multi-coop procurement approach and bundled with membership benefits.
