this fixed-rate plan provides seniors with stability and
protection against fluctuating energy costs. With no gimmicks
such as “free nights/weekends” or surprises, Wise Lubbock
Energy empowers seniors to plan their budgets effectively and
eliminates the worry associated with unpredictable energy
bills.
