Against Fort Worth

The nearest of the six largest modeled places is Fort Worth, 431 km to the east, at 1,535 kWh per kW. Lubbock models 186 kWh per kW (12.1%) above it. Lubbock lies 0.78 degrees of latitude north of Fort Worth, which on sun angle alone would point the other way, so clouds, haze and the weather station's record carry the difference. The two weather stations sit a similar distance from their points (1.4 km and 1.5 km), so station distance does little to explain the gap, and the weather record does the rest.

The second-nearest large place is El Paso, 465 km southwest, where the same model gives 1,835 kWh per kW, so Lubbock runs 114 below that figure. Against the Texas median place month by month, Lubbock runs at least 2% higher in January, February, March, April, May, June, July, August, September, October, November, December.

Electricity prices nearby

Lubbock is served by its own utility, Lubbock Power and Light, which has joined retail choice: most homes buy energy from a retail electricity provider over its lines, so the price depends on the plan you choose. For scale only, the median 2025 average price across the 60 Texas retail providers on this site is 15.32¢ per kWh, which would put the modeled 1,721 kWh at $264 per kW a year, plain multiplication and not a savings estimate or an offer.

Other providers listed in the county

• Southwestern Public Service Co: 13.94¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 223,685 residential customers across 45 counties.
• South Plains Electric Coop Inc: 11.02¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 58,726 residential customers across 18 counties.
• Lyntegar Electric Coop, Inc: 10.35¢ per kWh, a bundled average, 9,163 residential customers across 12 counties.

These serve areas outside the city utility. They are the largest bundled providers whose EIA service territory lists the county. A county can list several, and which one serves a street depends on the address, so check your bill.

Size the array, see the kWh.

Scale the Lubbock model to another array size, take off extra losses for shade or dirt, and price the energy at any rate. It is arithmetic on the PVWatts output above, nothing more: not a quote, not a savings estimate and not advice.

Starting rate: the Texas residential average of 15.47¢ per kWh. At that rate the modeled output is worth $266 per kW a year as plain multiplication.
