It was a fantastic opportunity to connect with our customers and support their needs as the new school year approaches.

Electrifying El Paso’s Schools: A Milestone in Sustainability

On July 19, we proudly partnered with Socorro ISD to unveil the first electric school buses in El Paso, Texas, marking a significant achievement in our commitment to sustainability. Thanks to a $9.8 million grant from the EPA, 25 new electric buses and charging stations have been introduced, reducing CO2 emissions by an estimated 1.3 million pounds annually. This initiative wouldn’t have been possible without the dedicated efforts of EPE’s Electrification and Distribution teams and the strong leadership at Socorro ISD. Together, we’re driving forward a cleaner, sustainable future for our community.
