Municipal & Government facilities in the South Plains run a varies widely by facility type load of roughly 200,000-800,000 kWh/month on Lubbock Power & Light service. We put that load in front of vetted suppliers and engineer the contract around how you actually use power.
Lubbock Power & Light spent decades on the Southwest Power Pool before moving the bulk of its load into ERCOT, and that transition is what makes this market unusual: retail choice is opening to commercial accounts that have never had it, and most local businesses have never run a supplier bid in their lives. The opportunity and the risk are the same thing. Offers are arriving from suppliers who know the buyers are inexperienced, and the South Plains load profile — dominated by seasonal irrigation pumping and cotton processing — is exactly the kind of spiky, seasonal curve that a badly structured fixed contract prices punitively.
Municipal & Government is not the dominant sector in this territory, where agriculture and irrigation, food processing, university load and regional healthcare carry most of the commercial load. That is an advantage worth using: a municipal & government load is unfamiliar enough locally that it is routinely priced off generic assumptions rather than off your actual usage. A varies widely by facility type profile at 200,000-800,000 kWh/month is the specific thing we take to market, and the contract structure follows from it: fixed, indexed, or block-and-index, sized to your actual baseload rather than to a nameplate figure.
At 200,000-800,000 kWh/month, most municipal & government sites are demand-metered — which means the schedule, not just the rate, drives the bill.
| Schedule | Typically covers |
|---|---|
| Small Commercial | accounts below the demand-metering threshold |
| Large Commercial | demand-metered commercial accounts |
| Industrial Service | large process and irrigation-driven load |
Schedule names, demand thresholds and eligibility rules change with each rate case, and the schedule an account was originally placed on is frequently no longer the one that fits it. We verify yours against the actual bill rather than assuming — that check is free, and it is where a meaningful share of the savings on this page comes from.
