Lubbock Electricity Rates

Edited by Rafael Morales
Last updated:

The cheapest True Fixed electricity rate in Lubbock today for a 12 to 23 month term is 11.6¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh, from APG&E. Across the 29 True Fixed plans in that range we track in Lubbock, the average is 13.8¢/kWh. Both numbers account for the energy provider’s charges and all TDU delivery and base charges, so they reflect what you actually pay.

That 11.6¢ is the floor for a real fixed rate in Lubbock on a term of 12 months or longer. If you see a 12-month-or-longer plan advertised well below this rate, it is almost certainly a bill credit plan. Those rates only apply if your monthly usage lands inside a narrow window, usually right around 1,000 kWh. Over a year you will likely miss it in at least 4 months (overpaying $400 or more), using too little or too much. Clear Energy Facts does not recommend these plans.

Every plan listed here is True Fixed. If you are looking for a different plan type in Lubbock, we track those separately: Best Free Nights plans, Best Free Weekends plans, and No-credit-check prepaid plans.

TDU Contact and Outage Information for Lubbock

  • The main residential ZIP codes for Lubbock are 79424, 79423, 79416, 79413, 79407, 79414, 79410, 79411, 79401, 79403, 79404, 79412, and 79415. Most addresses inside the city are served by Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L). LP&L customers are now in the deregulated market, but LP&L still handles delivery, poles, wires, meters, and outage response. 
  • Some addresses inside Lubbock are served by South Plains Electric Cooperative (SPEC) instead, and those customers generally do not shop in the deregulated market. Lubbock is also a newer retail-choice area, so plan selection is often narrower than in large, long-established deregulated markets in Texas. If your address is in SPEC territory, report outages to South Plains Electric Cooperative at 888-741-0111 or use the SPEC outage map: https://spec.coop/outage

Lubbock Housing & Heating Facts

Local housing and heating composition based on city profile inputs.

Median Year Built

1984

Lubbock experiences hot summers and cold winters, but its low West Texas humidity means air conditioners fight heat rather than moisture, easing the cooling load compared to more humid regions. However, sharp winter cold snaps can significantly increase power consumption, particularly for homes with electric heat.
For local students seeking flexibility without a long-term commitment, prepaid plans offer an alternative, though they typically cost about 20% more than the lowest-rate options. The table below displays estimated monthly bills for True Fixed plans tailored to your specific housing and heating setup.

What a typical Lubbock home pays for electricity

Based on Lubbock's housing profile, a medium house with electric heat is the most common setup in the city. Priced at the average of every 12 month True Fixed plan in Lubbock, that runs about $1,896 a year, or roughly $158 a month, though the monthly figure swings with the season.

Use this as a reference point. If your usage is similar to the profile below and your bill is well above these numbers, you are probably overpaying.

The Real Cost of Gimmicky Bill-Credit Plans in Lubbock

Unfortunately, bill-credit plans dominate search results and social media advertising in Lubbock's deregulated electricity market. Their “as low as” rates appeal to shoppers—but what is the real cost?

The table below shows why these plans do not guarantee the advertised rate and estimates the actual rate you could pay. These calculations are based on average usage by housing type, so individual results can vary significantly. Nevertheless, many households in Lubbock will have similar usage profiles and could end up overpaying.

Use the filters to apply the plan’s actual charges and credits to different Lubbock housing and heating profiles over 12 months.

Truly Fixed vs. Bill Credit vs. Time-of-Use: Which Plan Type Is Better in Lubbock?

  • New to your home? (Less than 12 months): If you just moved to Lubbock or have lived in your home for less than a year, we strongly recommend sticking with Truly Fixed plan.
Why: Without a full year of usage history, you do not know how your home will handle the Texas heat in August or the cold snaps in February. A fixed rate helps protect you from large price swings during those unpredictable months.

  • Lived there for a year or more? (Use Your Data): If you have at least 12 months of history in the same location, you can stop guessing. Over 90% of Texas homes are equipped with Smart Meters, which record your electricity usage every 15 minutes.

Take advantage of our Analysis Tool: Our system can compare every available plan against your actual usage history. This is extremely valuable for checking whether Free Nights or Free Weekends plans are really saving you money, or whether a Truly Fixed rate is still your cheapest option. To use this tool, sign in or create an account and compare more the 200 plans in Lubbock


What Happens If You Cancel Your Electricity Contract Early in Lubbock?

If you cancel your electricity contract before it expires, you will usually have to pay an early termination fee. In many cases, that fee is around $100 to $150 for a 12-month plan, and $200 or more for a 24-month plan or longer. The exact amount depends on your provider and the terms of your contract.

Even so, paying the cancellation fee can sometimes still be the better financial move. A lot of people in Texas, especially those who are not familiar with how the market works, end up paying far too much for electricity. If your current plan is costing you much more than the best plans available today, switching early may still save you money even after the cancellation fee.

For example, if you are overpaying by more than $500 over the remaining life of your contract, canceling may be worth it. In some cases, the savings can be much higher.

How do you know if canceling makes sense?
The only way to know for sure is to compare:
  •  your current plan 
  •  the early termination fee 
  •  the best plans currently available in Lubbock 

We created a comparison tool only for that purpose. The full process is explained in this article:  Can You Save Money Switching Electricity Providers?

 
In that guide, we show you how to compare your current plan against the best options in the market. Our tool helps you estimate how much you would pay if you stay, how much you would pay if you switch, and whether you would actually save money after the cancellation fee.
