About Lubbock
What you're shopping for power in.
Lubbock is the largest city in the South Plains, anchored by Texas Tech University and a strong healthcare cluster around UMC and Covenant. Until 2023 it was a regulated muni utility market; Lubbock Power & Light joined the ERCOT competitive market in stages between 2023 and 2024, and Lubbock customers can now shop competitive REPs the same way Houston and DFW residents do.
Climate & bill pattern
Semi-arid High Plains climate — hot dry summers (95-100°F is the summer norm with relatively low humidity), cold dry winters with hard freezes most years, and a serious wind profile that drives both weather risk and electricity prices.
Most Lubbock customers were on the legacy LP&L default rate before the 2023 competitive transition. Many open-market plans now beat that rate — the first shopping pass is the easiest savings. Lubbock has the lowest TDU delivery charge in Texas (roughly 3.4¢/kWh) because the service area is compact and urban, so the per-kWh competitive rate is closer to the all-in bill than in DFW or Houston.
