El Paso Electric (EPE) first began serving its customers on August 30, 1901 as the El Paso Electric Railway Company. Initially, its primary business consisted of providing transportation via mule-drawn streetcars, which were replaced in 1902 with electric streetcars. By 1925, the Company's core business had evolved to producing and distributing electricity. That year, the company changed its name to the El Paso Electric Company and began serving southern New Mexico as well. Today, El Paso Electric is a regional electric utility providing generation, transmission and distribution service to approximately 437,000 retail and wholesale customers in a 10,000 square mile area of the Rio Grande valley in west Texas and southern New Mexico.

El Paso Electric has been a leader in low carbon generation and will remain so moving forward. That's why we have shifted towards increasing our renewable energy to provide clean energy to our customers. Read on to learn all about clean energy and how we can use it to help create a cleaner greener future. Providing safe and reliable electrical service to our customers is El Paso Electric's number one priority. Thanks to the hard work and efforts of our employees, EPE has consistently obtained high reliability ratings in Texas and New Mexico.
