"We are excited about working more closely with Greenbelt Electric Cooperative," says Johnny Andrews, chief operating officer of TEC Manufacturing & Distribution Services. "Their track record for quality service and delivering electric power to Panhandle users is well known. We are proud to support them in their mission to keep the lights on for their members."

This new alliance marks a milestone for TEC, making 21 alliance partners in total, and Greenbelt is the fourth cooperative to enter into a TEC alliance since the start of 2017. Expanding their network of alliances is a top priority for TEC leadership. As Andrews explains, "Growth is good for our members and it's good for us. With each new alliance, TEC's position in the market to negotiate pricing is strengthened."

The addition of Greenbelt Electric Cooperative strengthens TEC's supply aggregation model in a highly competitive market. While TEC already provides its members with many valuable services, the alliance supply model is one than can make an immediate difference in a co-op's bottom line by reducing operational and redundant costs. Through aggregation and scale, TEC sources high-quality products from leading manufacturers at competitive prices that individual cooperatives would not be able to negotiate alone. TEC passes those savings along to all member cooperatives at competitive prices.
