Thursday, the The average residential
household now pays about $83 dollars per month.
The rate increase, which takes affect June 1st, would increase your bill
by almost $3 dollars.
This is the first
increase since 1986 and LP&L officials say customers shouldn't worry
because they still provide some of the best rates in the state.
"Dallas/Ft Worth
metro-plex, they're paying $140 dollars, reliant in Houston, they're paying in
the one-teens, and in El Paso they're paying in the one-teens, so you can see
that at $80-90 dollars, in West Texas, we really do have great electric
prices" says Chris Sims with LP&L.
Despite the increase,
there is some good news. Customers may
actually see a drop in their bill in October after LP&L drops an extra fuel
charge.
