Representatives of Southwestern Public Service and Lubbock Power and Light agreed to drop earlier proposals and seek an across the board rate hike in the 8 to 9 percent range. A new rate plan including a possible demand charge aims to aid larger industries while impacting residential, commercial, and small business customers differently. The compromise emerged at a city Electric Utilities Board meeting as figures showed SWPS seeking about $680,000 more revenue versus LP&L’s $500,000. The board considered applying a flat percentage and retaining the current structure pending further work.
