📰About Southwest Texas Electric Cooperative Headquarters
Southwest Texas Electric Cooperative completed a new headquarters building with warehouses at 1201 US 277 in Eldorado, Texas. The project involved new construction of a 16,404 sq ft facility, valued at an estimated $14,719,036. This development represents a significant infrastructure investment in Schleicher County, situated in a rural area where the U.S. Census Bureau estimates the population of ZIP code 76936 at approximately 2,399 residents.
The construction record indicates the project commenced in June 2024. Guernsey served as the design firm of record for this privately funded initiative on private land. The scope explicitly includes the headquarters structure and associated warehouse spaces, reflecting the operational needs of the cooperative. The final inspection was passed in September 2025, confirming the physical completion of the registered work.
Regulatory Status and Timeline
TDLR registered the project in September 2025. The filing lists a completion date of October 2025, a date that has already passed. In August 2026, TDLR closed the project file, which marks the end of the accessibility review process for this construction. This status indicates that the regulatory requirements associated with the construction phase have been fully satisfied and the record is now finalized.
Guernsey has been involved in multiple similar projects across Texas, including work for other electric cooperatives in Liberty Hill, Hondo, Navasota, and La Grange. These other filings total over $51 million, suggesting a pattern of substantial capital investment in utility infrastructure across the state. The Eldorado project fits within this broader trend of modernization for regional electric services.
The location in Eldorado serves a community with a median household income of $86,932, according to five-year Census estimates. The median owner-occupied home value in the area is $116,000. While the project is privately funded, its completion contributes to the local commercial landscape of this small Texas town. The construction activity has concluded, and the regulatory file is closed.
