LUBBOCK, TX
(KCBD) - In the past few days, the
leading local power companies, Lubbock
Power & Light and Xcel Energy, announced
competing price cuts. Now, NewsChannel
11 puts them head to head.
So who really has the lowest rates in
town for a residential customer inside
the city limits who uses 1000 kilowatt
hours a month during March? We also
asked for June because rates and fuel
surcharges for both companies are about
to change.
With Xcel, your March bill for 1,000
kwh is $83.11. That same bill with LP&L
is $82.91. LP&L is lower by 20 cents.
Fast forward to June and your June
bill (1,000 kwh) with Xcel is
$100.53. That same bill with LP&L is
$100.29 cents. LP&L is 24 cents cheaper.
So there you have it. The bills are
nearly identical with not even a full
one percent difference between the two.
