Due to the urgency, the Poblacion of San Jose, Nueva Ecija needs a brighter lighting because the existing electric utility comes from a power generator set owned by a private individual and it can only light incandescent bulbs with dim lighting. It was in 1966, when some well-known gentlemen of San Jose, Nueva Ecija were soliciting funds for a common goal to set up an electric distribution utility
. On November 08, 1967, an stock electric cooperative was established then called Northern Nueva Ecija Electric Cooperative, Inc. and was registered with the Cooperative Administration Office. On April 08, 1969, the cooperative obtained a loan amounting to P486,973.00 payable in 25 years from the Electrification Administration for distribution network installation and became operational in July, 1969. The said loan was paid before the maturity date. It was converted to a non-stock electric cooperative under PD No. 269 on April 16, 1972. It was in August, 1974 when it was registered with National Electrification Administration. After its registration with NEA and before granted provisional franchise, the name Northern Nueva Ecija Electric Cooperative, Inc. was changed to San Jose City Electric Cooperative, Inc. It was on March 16, 1990 when the permanent franchise was granted to operate and provide electric service in the City of San Jose for a period of fifty (50) years.
