Brazos Electric Power Cooperative is a Texas-based transmission and distribution utility organized in 1941 as the first cooperative formed in the state to generate and supply electrical power. It operates for 16 member-owner distribution cooperatives and serves a service territory spanning 68 counties from the Texas Panhandle to Houston. As a member-owned organization, its board includes one representative from each member cooperative, linking governance to its owners. Headquartered in Waco, the cooperative employs a workforce described as mid-sized and provides transmission and distribution services to its member cooperatives. In 2023, Brazos Electric partnered with LS Power to pursue natural gas generation capacity in the ERCOT North region, a development reflected in asset transactions involving Brazos Electric.
