Launching June 1, Pedernales Electric Cooperative’s new medical necessity program will create a registry of residential locations in the cooperative’s service territory where members rely on life-sustaining electrical equipment. When planned outages or service interruptions for nonpayment are scheduled, PEC will provide advance notice so preparations can be made.
