Greenbelt Electric Cooperative, Inc. is a distribution cooperative (Texas 80 Collingsworth County) with headquarters in Wellington, Texas, serving portions of Armstrong, Childress, Collingsworth, Donley, Gray, Hemphill, Randall, Roberts, and Wheeler Counties.
Greenbelt's service area lies in the south-central and southeast Panhandle of Texas, and includes about 4,000 square miles at elevations of 1,800 to 3,500 feet. The service area is divided by the Salt Fork and the North Fork of the Red River, and bordered along the west and south by the Palo Duro Canyon and the Caprock. The terrain varies from level plains in the west, to rolling broken lands in the eastern areas. The region is highly dependent on the agricultural production, with changes affecting the population, load growth, and electricity sales. The maximum demand for electricity occurs during the summer, primarily from irrigation and air conditioning loads during the hot and dry periods.
