"Be in the Know about the New"
May is National Electrical Safety Month. The Electrical Safety Foundation International (ESFI) raises awareness about potential home electrical hazards and the importance of electrical safety. This year's campaign educates the public about emerging technologies and the electrical hazards associated with them. These technologies include electric vehicles, solar power, wind power, and smart meters.

| CAPITAL CREDITS |
|
|
 |
Capital credits in the amount of approximately $675,000, are currently being paid for the years 1951-1976. The procedures and necessary forms for collecting these funds are listed
here.
There are many former and deceased members for whom RGEC does not have current addresses, therefore, we are unable to forward money to them. If you are a member, former member, or the heir of an estate with a capital credit check pending, please carefully review the board policy and procedures to find out how to claim any capital credits payments to which you may be entitled.
If you are a member or former member and believe that
you are entitled to payment of capital credits from Rio Grande Electric
Cooperative, Inc. ("RGEC") that were not paid to you and you filed bankruptcy,
you must provide the information listed in the
Bankruptcy Instructions
and complete a Capital Credits Claim Form.

GENERAL MANAGER/CEO's
MESSAGE |
|
|
|
 |
I hope you had enough spring showers to bring out the May flowers. Here in Brackettville it
has been a beautiful spring season. Although system-wide rain has been sparse, there have
been a few storms. One part of RGEC's service territory that has been especially problematic in terms of storm impact is
South Brewster County. I receive a report electronically every morning at 8:00 a.m. regarding power reliability and storm
impacts for this area. Things held up very well throughout 2011, but there was little to no rain. So far in 2012, things have
held up well and parts of South Brewster County have recently seen roughly five (5) inches of rain, and probably twenty
(20) inches of lightning. There were minor voltage anomalies, but nothing that would damage appliances.
