ERCOT is being rolled in like an enormous wooden horse, and even though we know it's full of deadly danger, we are still welcoming it into our city gates.
On Monday, February 22nd, Lubbock Power & Light confirmed that customers will not be subject to short-term fluctuations in electric rates like other regions of Texas are dealing with.
It was announced on Friday, February 19th that Lubbock Power & Light was still on track to move from the Southwest Power Pool to ERCOT despite outages related to severe winter weather.
Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) is lowering the electric rate for the second time this summer, resulting in a substantial decrease in overall rates for all customers.
According to Lubbock Power and Light's Outage Map, over 4,000 customers were without power starting at around 5 p.m. Friday afternoon in the Arnett Benson neighborhood.
