Reliant Energy is looking forward to serving a deregulated electricity market in parts of Lubbock
Areas of Lubbock will soon be part of the Texas deregulated electricity market. That means homeowners, renters and businesses will have the freedom to choose a retail electricity provider that’s right for them. Certain electricity consumers in Lubbock will soon be able to choose their retail electricity provider. We are here to help you understand what this means for you. As your electricity expert, Reliant can help you make the right choice for your lifestyle — and since 2001, millions of Texans have chosen Reliant.
Electricity consumers can shop from a variety of plans to find the right one for their needs. Texas Retail Electricity Providers (REPs) are responsible for selling electricity and providing bills to customers.
If you choose to switch to Reliant when Lubbock’s electricity market becomes deregulated, we’ll make the transition seamless. Your electricity will continue to flow without interruption, plus, you’ll get competitive pricing, innovative product offerings and helpful customer service.
"Low price electrical plan per KW. My monthly bill was cut in half making it really affordable."

Why is Reliant the right choice for you? Reliant has been servicing customers since the beginning of Texas deregulation, helping customers power their homes and businesses and increase their energy savings.
Since 2017, Reliant has been an active member of the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce. Plus, we are the proud partner of Texas Tech Athletics.
Our donation and volunteer efforts also provide meals to West Texas families. In 2021, we made a $5,000 donation to the South Plains Food Bank (that supports the 20-county region in and around Lubbock) in support of Winter Storm Uri relief efforts. And in 2022, Reliant committed $50,000 to the same food bank to support other important programs for children and families in and around Lubbock.
We’re happy to be a part of your community, and we welcome you to be a part of ours. We’re honored to begin serving Lubbock and excited to do our part to meet the community’s needs.

Lubbock Power & Light will be responsible for the transportation and delivery of electricity to your home or business, as well as the maintenance of electrical equipment, including the meter, electricity wires and poles. You can contact them to report an outage, a fallen pole or wire, or a problem with your meter.
Your REP is a company that you purchase electricity from by choosing an electricity plan. REPs provide electricity billing and customer service, as well as process payments. You can contact your REP to set up or connect your electricity service, transfer your electricity service or get answers to billing questions.
Once Lubbock is deregulated, homeowners, renters and businesses in Lubbock will be able to shop and choose the REP and electricity plan of their choice rather than having to use a designated company.

With a fixed-rate electricity plan, the energy charge you pay for electricity remains the same each month during the term of the plan. The price can only change to reflect actual changes in utility charges, changes to the Electric Reliability Council of Texas or Texas Regional Entity administrative fees charged to loads, or changes resulting from federal, state or local laws or regulatory actions that impose new or modified fees or costs. These types of plans involve contracts that typically last anywhere from three to 36 months. They’re great for both homeowners and renters since you may be able to transfer your plan to your new home if you move within Reliant’s service area.
Variable-rate plans are often month-to-month contracts with no cancellation fees. Each month, the energy charge used to calculate your bill can fluctuate. This type of plan benefits customers who need the flexibility of a month-to-month term with no early cancellation fee.
Time-of-use plans are fixed-rate or variable-rate plans that offer a lower cost of electricity based on the time and/or day the electricity is being used. No electricity charge on the weekends or no charge during certain hours of the day are some of the most common types of time-of-use plans offered. If you aren't usually home during the day or do most of your high electricity consumption tasks during the weekend, you may benefit from a time-of-use plan.
Renewable energy plans are electricity plans that allow you to support renewable energy, including by matching your electricity usage with renewable energy certificates. They’re a great way to support the environment.
Depending on the plan, Reliant may offer the opportunity to receive sports memorabilia, gift cards, bill credits, airline mile credits, donations made on your behalf to charities and more. Check out available offers here.
Lubbock will officially become deregulated in October 2023. Customers will be able to shop for providers from August to mid-September 2023. If you have not chosen a retail electricity provider by then, you will be sent to a default provider.
