The Lubbock City Council and the Electric Utility Board have approved an agreement for early termination of LP&L's contract with Southwestern Public Service.
On Monday, February 22nd, Lubbock Power & Light confirmed that customers will not be subject to short-term fluctuations in electric rates like other regions of Texas are dealing with.
It was announced on Friday, February 19th that Lubbock Power & Light was still on track to move from the Southwest Power Pool to ERCOT despite outages related to severe winter weather.
Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) is lowering the electric rate for the second time this summer, resulting in a substantial decrease in overall rates for all customers.
According to Lubbock Power and Light's Outage Map, over 4,000 customers were without power starting at around 5 p.m. Friday afternoon in the Arnett Benson neighborhood.
