Maintaining more than 9,300 miles of energized line, United serves all or parts of Johnson, Erath, Hood, Bosque, Somervell, Palo Pinto, Coryell, Eastland, Comanche, Stephens, Young, Hamilton, Tarrant and Ellis counties.
United Cooperative Services is one of more than 60 electric distribution cooperatives in Texas and one of more than 900 electric cooperatives across the country. Coming years will see more growth and more changes, but United's commitment to reasonable rates, reliable power and superior service for its member-owners will never change. That's more than a promise; that's a pledge of priority. And at United, we keep our priorities straight.

United plays a key role in the economic development of its communities and unlike a private utility, the cooperative is a not-for-profit business owned by the consumers it serves. Formed for a consolidation of Johnson County Electric Cooperative and Erath County Electric Cooperative in April 2000, United has combined greater buying power with a more efficient, economic operation.
We’ve dedicated tremendous resources, time and effort into ensuring that United members are well-equipped to tackle the challenges that will affect each of us more and more. Through the co-op’s efforts to educate and inform its members about the many issues dotting the nation’s and state’s energy landscape, United members should feel like they’re ahead of the pack as together—co-op and members—we forge ahead and share in the success of this electric cooperative.
Because of our business model, we share in the resources that can benefit us both as individuals and a collective membership. It’s our hope that our members, just as the ones did who founded this cooperative in 1938, can find value in the numerous programs available to them.
