Lubbock Power & Light Signs Contract With SPS To Take Supply Through 2012
March 24,2017
Lubbock Power & Light (LP&L) and Southwestern Public Service (SPS), a wholly owned subsidiary of Xcel Energy, announced the signing of a purchased power contract providing 400 megawatts of capacity and energy scheduling beginning on June 1, 2019 and extending through May 31, 2021.
The new contract replaces an expiring contract for total requirements service
With the new contract, LP&L will acquire capacity and energy supply through a 170-megawatt partial-requirements wholesale contract signed with SPS in 2010; a 100-megawatt wind contract through its membership with West Texas Municipal Power Agency; 114 megawatts of LP&L-owned generating plants; and the new 400-megawatt transition contract signed with SPS.
Lubbock Power & Light continues to seek integration into ERCOT, but executed the new contract with SPS when it became apparent such integration would not occur by June 1, 2019
