Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) is a municipal utility serving 1 county in Texas. EIA lists it as City of Lubbock.
Lubbock Power & Light moved its customers to retail competition in 2024. Since then a retail electric provider sells the energy and Lubbock Power & Light delivers it, so EIA’s 2025 figures for it are delivery charges alone and cannot be compared with its earlier all-in prices.
Lubbock Power & Light commercial delivery prices, 2024 to 2025
In 2024 Lubbock Power & Light billed its commercial customers an average of 4.83¢ per kWh for delivery. In 2025 the figure was 5.01¢, so it rose 3.7% over 1 year. The delivery-only figures here start in 2024.
| Year | Commercial customers | Delivery price per kWh | Average use a month | Average delivery bill a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 14,743 | 5.01¢ | 7,984 kWh | $400 |
| 2024 | 14,616 | 4.83¢ | 6,297 kWh | $304 |
Average use and average bill are the utility’s commercial sales and revenue divided by its commercial customers and by twelve. The bill is for delivery alone; the energy is billed by a retail provider. A few very large customers pull both averages up, so most businesses use and pay less than the average.

Residential, commercial and industrial delivery prices at Lubbock Power & Light
In 2025 the average commercial delivery price at Lubbock Power & Light was 21% below the residential figure and 58% above the industrial one. Larger customers take power at a higher voltage and use it more steadily, so at most utilities the average falls from residential to commercial to industrial. Which class an account falls in is the utility’s decision, and the line between commercial and industrial is drawn differently from one utility to the next.
| Customer class | Customers | Sales (MWh) | Delivery price per kWh | Average use a month | Average bill a month |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Residential | 94,738 | 993,523 | 6.31¢ | 874 kWh | $55 |

How Lubbock Power & Light’s commercial rates are set
Lubbock Power & Light is owned by the community it serves. Its rates are set locally, by the city council or a utility board, and in most states the state commission does not set them. A commercial account is billed on a rate schedule, chosen by the size of the account and the voltage it takes power at, and a schedule usually combines a fixed monthly charge, a charge per kWh and, above a certain size, a demand charge on the highest rate of draw in the month. The schedule code is printed on the bill. What a business in Texas can and cannot choose is on the Texas page.
Meters, time-varying rates and net metering at Lubbock Power & Light
EIA counts 14,743 commercial meters at Lubbock Power & Light in 2025, and 14,743 of them (100%) are advanced meters (AMI), which record use at least hourly and report it to the utility at least daily. An advanced meter is what makes interval data possible, and interval data is what shows when a building’s peak demand happens.
How reliable is Lubbock Power & Light’s electric service?
Lubbock Power & Light customers went without power for an average of 95 minutes in 2025, excluding major storms, with about 1.70 interruptions per customer. The average across U.S. utilities reporting the same way is 124 minutes. With major storms counted the figure was 111 minutes. These are averages over every customer of every class, so they describe the system and not any one street.
Where Lubbock Power & Light serves
EIA records Lubbock Power & Light serving customers in 1 Texas county: Lubbock. A county can be shared between utilities, so this does not tell you who serves a given address. The utility that serves an address is the one named on its bill.
EIA lists ERCOT as its balancing authority. ERCOT is one of the organised wholesale markets, which run the grid and the wholesale power market across their area.

What these figures can and cannot tell you
- They are averages over every commercial customer. A utility whose commercial customers are mostly large averages fewer cents per kWh than one serving mostly small shops, so a lower figure can mean larger customers and not a lower rate.
- They are not a rate schedule. None of these figures is a charge printed in Lubbock Power & Light’s tariff, and nothing here works out a bill from one. The tariff index lists the utilities whose filed schedules are quoted on this site.
- They are annual and final. EIA publishes utility figures once a year. The Texas page carries the state’s trailing 12 months, which is more recent and still preliminary.
For one building, the cost estimator gives a range by building type, size and state, and price by utility sets every utility side by side. Commercial vs residential vs industrial compares the classes in every state.

A utility average cannot tell you whether your bill is right. The bill itself can, and it takes three numbers. Nobody calls unless you ask.
