Electricity Guide
Can I choose my provider?
Lubbock joined the ERCOT grid and opened to retail electric competition on January 5, 2024, the first Texas city to move to customer choice voluntarily since the market opened in 2002. Lubbock Power & Light still owns and operates the local wires.
Who delivers the electricity?
Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) is the municipally owned utility that maintains the poles, wires, and meters across the city. Because LP&L is a municipal utility rather than one of the investor-owned ERCOT delivery utilities, plan availability in Lubbock is still settling and may be limited.
How do I report outages?
LP&L maintains the physical grid in Lubbock and handles all outages and downed lines. Report an outage directly to LP&L at (806) 775-2509.
