Concho Valley Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a distribution cooperative (Texas 114 Tom Green County) which serves portions of ten counties; Coke, Concho, Glasscock, Irion, Mitchell, Nolan, Reagan, Runnels, Sterling and Tom Green Counties in west central Texas including portions of the City of San Angelo.
The western half of the service area lies primarily within the Edwards Plateau region. The terrain is rolling to mountainous and is comprised of both woodlands and grasslands. The eastern portion of the cooperative's service area lies within the Rolling Plains Region of the state of Texas. Approximately two-thirds of the area is rangeland. Lakes and rivers which provide recreation for the area include Twin Buttes Reservoir and Lake Nasworthy in Tom Green County, the Middle Concho River in Irion County, Lake Spence in Coke County and the North Concho River in Sterling County.
Much of the cooperative's service area is rangeland which is used for the grazing of cattle, sheep and goats. This region is the nation's leading center for producing and shipping wool and mohair. The region is home to many species of wildlife including quail, dove, turkey, deer and rabbits with many hunting leases providing recreation and income for the area.
The economy of the service area is oil and gas production and agribusiness. Farming activities produce cotton, sorghum, hay, wheat, oats, pecans and dairy operations. Due to excellent medical facilities and climate, many retirees are attracted to the service area. Angelo State University and Goodfellow Air Force Base are major contributors to the area economy and culture.
The maximum demand for electricity occurs during the summer, primarily from irrigation and air conditioning loads during the hot and dry periods.
