What LP&L does
Lubbock Power & Light is the TDU for your area. TDU stands for Transmission and Distribution Utility. LP&L owns the poles, the wires, and the meters. It delivers electricity to your home, reads your meter, and fixes outages. Its territory is the city of Lubbock.
Here is the key fact: LP&L does not sell you electricity. You buy your power from a retail electric provider. You can pick any provider that serves the area. The provider bills you. Part of that bill passes through to LP&L for delivery. You cannot choose your TDU. It comes with your address.
Lubbock is the newest territory in the Texas deregulated market. LP&L moved the city into the state grid and its residents gained retail choice in 2024, so plan competition here is newer than anywhere else in Texas.
What LP&L charges right now
State regulators set LP&L’s delivery charges. The charges are the same for every plan in the territory:
- A monthly charge of $0.00 per home.
- A delivery rate of 6.31¢ per kWh.
At 1,000 kWh of monthly usage, that works out to about $63.12 of your bill going to delivery. No plan can discount it. No plan pays more. Some plans advertise low delivery charges. They are advertising something they do not control.
These rates change on a state schedule, usually in March and September. The numbers on this page come from our live data. They update when LP&L’s rates do.
How delivery charges show up on your bill
Most plans in LP&L territory list delivery charges as their own line on your bill. Some plans fold them into the energy rate instead. Then you see one combined number. Either way the money reaches LP&L. The amount is the same. The plan’s Electricity Facts Label states which way it works.
This matters when you compare plans. Two plans can present the same delivery cost two different ways. Compare total cost, not the shape of the line items.
