Energy Costs

We understand our Members are experiencing higher electric bills. This is due to the steep increase in natural gas prices, which are currently at a 7-year high, and winter weather causing greater kWh energy consumption.  
 
Our nation is experiencing levels of inflation not seen in decades. As a result, you have undoubtedly been impacted at the grocery store, gas station, hardware store, and everywhere else you transact business.

HOTEC Adds Solar to Energy Mix

Heart of Texas Electric Cooperative’s 1-megawatt solar farm in McGregor has been producing renewable energy since it went online in late December 2020. The 2,500-panel farm is located next to the McGregor office at 111 S. Johnson Drive.

 

Lone Star Solar built the solar complex and will operate and maintain it.
