ERCOT

It's been a pretty mild summer so far for much of Texas. Sure, there were some days in June where it was hot, but the month of July was actually pretty pleasant. At least as pleasant as a summer day can be in Texas.
The mild temperatures have probably been good for ERCOT as well, as the grid has…

It may be time to rethink that smart thermostat of yours.

If you aren't crazy about setting your A/C to 78 degrees and limiting your power usage to a minimum, you're not alone. Being told what you should and shouldn't do in your own home is frustrating enough. You pay that bill. You should be able to chill...

You're ALREADY being asked to conserve energy.

On Monday, June 14th, the Lubbock Chamber of Commerce sent a letter to Texas Governor Greg Abbott concerning ERCOT.

ERCOT is here, and it's every man, woman and child for themselves.

ERCOT is asking Texans reduce their power usage.

Sunday's work for the final five LP&L substations started at 6am. No problems were reported on Saturday.

The Lubbock City Council and the Electric Utility Board have approved an agreement for early termination of LP&L's contract with Southwestern Public Service.
