Power outages
Report an LP&L outage
Contact LP&L, not your electricity provider. LP&L owns the poles, wires and meters, so it's the one that restores your power. Check your breakers first: if only your home is dark, the problem may be inside.
Text or email
LightsOut@LPandL.comText or email LightsOut@LPandL.com with your service address, phone number and what happened. LP&L says it's often faster than calling.

How to save on electricity in LP&L's area
LP&L's delivery charges are the same with every provider, so your savings come from the plan you pick and how much power you use.
- Compare plans at your usage. Every plan's Electricity Facts Label (EFL) shows an average price at 500, 1,000 and 2,000 kWh, and that price already includes LP&L's delivery charges. Compare at the usage closest to yours.
- Check for bill credits and usage fees. A plan with a bill credit at exactly 1,000 kWh can cost much more in a month when you use 990 or 1,800 kWh.
- Choose fixed or variable on purpose. A fixed-rate plan holds your price for the contract term. A variable-rate plan can change every month.
- Watch your contract end date. Renew or switch before it ends, so you don't roll onto a higher month-to-month rate.
- Use less in summer peaks. Raising your thermostat a few degrees and sealing leaks around doors and windows cuts the biggest part of most Texas bills.
