Lubbock Power & Light is the City of Lubbock's own utility, and the newest part of the choice market: in 2024 it stopped selling electricity itself and moved its customers to retail providers, the first municipal utility in Texas to do so. It still owns and runs the wires and meters, and bills its delivery charge through whichever provider you choose.
Where its lines run: Lubbock and the parts of Lubbock County on LP&L's lines.
Price every plan in Lubbock Power & Light's area on your own 12 months
The tables below use three typical homes. Drop in a bill from an address on Lubbock Power & Light’s lines, or type your 12 monthly kWh, and we’ll rank every plan sold there by what you’d actually pay, delivery included.
Every home on Lubbock Power & Light’s lines pays the same delivery charge, whichever retail provider sells the electricity: $2.50 a month plus 6.008¢ per kWh, effective November 1, 2026. It pays for the poles, wires, meters and the crews that restore power. No provider can discount it, and every price on this site includes it.
| In a month you use | Delivery charge | Per kWh, all told |
|---|---|---|
| 500 kWh | $32.54 | 6.5¢ |
| 1,000 kWh | $62.58 | 6.3¢ |
| 2,000 kWh | $122.66 | 6.1¢ |
The monthly charge is why small homes pay more per kWh: spread over 500 kWh it adds 0.5¢ to every one, over 2,000 kWh only 0.1¢.
On your bill the charge appears as a line of its own, or folded into the energy price on plans that quote one all-in number. On every Electricity Facts Label, the three average prices at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh already include it, which is why a plan’s advertised price is higher than its energy charge. The charges change: set by the Lubbock City Council rather than the Public Utility Commission, usually once a year. A change passes through to every plan at once, fixed-rate ones included; only the energy charge is fixed.
Small businesses pay a different charge. Lubbock Power & Light bills its smallest business class, accounts of 10 kW or less with no demand charge, $5.00 a month plus 5.284¢ per kWh. We price 14 plans from 2 providers there, on the small-business rates page.
Every plan sold on Lubbock Power & Light’s lines, priced month by month on a year with a real summer peak, for a small, a typical and a large home, with the delivery charge above included.
About 500 kWh a month: a one- or two-bedroom apartment, or a small house with gas heat. 6,001 kWh over the year, with a Lubbock summer peak.
| Plan | Term | Advertised at 500 kWh | Real price | Per year |
|---|---|---|---|---|
 True Value 12 True Power | 12 mo | 11.9¢ | 12.1¢ | $727 lowest |
 Companion + Perks 12 Companion Energy | 12 mo | 12.3¢ | 12.3¢ | $740 +$13 |
 Frontier Power Saver 12 Frontier Utilities | 12 mo | 12.3¢ | 12.3¢ | $740 +$13 |
The cheapest-looking plan loses here. Power Plus - 24 advertises 8.2¢ at 1,000 kWh, the lowest of any plan, but this home would pay 18.4¢ per kWh on it: $377 more over the year than True Value 12. It ranks #73 of 111.
Contracts under a year are ranked apart. Plans of 12 months or longer are ranked above, because they hold their price for the whole year. The cheapest shorter contract, Companion Pro + Perks 3 (3 months), would cost about $674 if its price held for 12 months, which it doesn’t promise to: $53 less than True Value 12, and then a new price at the 3-month mark.

Estimates, as of November 2026. We simulate 12 monthly bills for each of the 148 plans we track from 25 providers, using each plan’s Electricity Facts Label and Lubbock Power & Light’s published delivery charges, on the three usage profiles above. Taxes and fees that aren’t on the EFL are left out, so real bills run a little higher for every plan alike. Listed but not ranked: 17 time-of-use plans ("free nights" and the like), priced by the time of day or week, which a monthly bill doesn't show; and 4 variable-rate plans, with a price that can change every month, so a year ahead can't be priced from today's rate. They’re on Plans we track with their labels. Prices change; check the EFL before enrolling.
The same plans and the same delivery charge apply at every address in Lubbock. Each city page prices them for that city.

No. The delivery utility comes with the address: Lubbock Power & Light owns the lines where you live, and no retail provider can route around them. What you choose is the retail provider, the company that buys the electricity and sets the price for it. In Lubbock Power & Light's area that's 25 providers selling 148 fixed-rate plans we can price.
Lubbock Power & Light, not your retail provider. The provider sells you the electricity but has no trucks; Lubbock Power & Light owns the wires and sends the crews. Its outage number is printed on every bill and on its website, lpandl.com. Report the outage there even if you have never dealt with Lubbock Power & Light directly.
Lubbock and the parts of Lubbock County on LP&L's lines. We price the plans sold in Lubbock; the same plans and delivery charge apply at every address on Lubbock Power & Light's lines. Utility borders don't follow city limits, so a neighboring town, or a few streets, can be on another utility's lines or on a co-op with no retail choice. Your bill names the delivery utility.
Set by the Lubbock City Council rather than the Public Utility Commission, usually once a year. The current charge, $2.50 a month plus 6.008¢ per kWh, took effect on November 1, 2026. A change applies to every plan at once, including fixed-rate plans already under contract: the energy charge is what's fixed, and the delivery charge passes through. We update every price on this site when it changes.
