Expansion Opportunity Rayburn Electric Cooperative is rapidly expanding with the construction of Rayburn Energy Station II, a 570 MW natural gas peaking plant in Sherman, TX, supported by a recent $685M investment and a $411M loan. This indicates a growing demand for reliability, dispatchable capacity, and advanced grid optimization solutions.

Capital Availability Significant financing activity recent loans and large-scale asset investments suggest Rayburn has access to substantial capital for technology upgrades, SCADA enhancements, energy management systems, and reliability projects that can be bundled with bidirectional energy storage, dispatch optimization, or microgrid services.

Digital Infrastructure Current tech stack includes AWS, SCADA, Active Directory and Java, signaling openness to cloud-based monitoring, cyber security hardening, data analytics, and integration of modern control and visualization tools to improve reliability and operational efficiency.

Strategic Alliances Past partnerships with Texas Electric Cooperatives, Inc. and a growing footprint in ERCOT position Rayburn for collaborative programs, shared services, and vendor consortia around transmission reliability, demand response, and joint procurement opportunities.

Talent Growth From a 22-employee structure to 51-200 employees under new leadership, Rayburn demonstrates capacity to scale operations, project management, and field operations—creating opportunities for professional services, training programs, and managed services in grid modernization.
