Midland, TX
Ambit Energy Electric Service, Rates & Plans

Midland is a major economic center in West Central Texas, located in Midland County in the heart of the Permian Basin. When you move to Midland, you'll need to know that Oncor Electric Delivery is your regulated utility provider—the company that owns and maintains the poles, wires, and meters that deliver electricity to your home. For outages or issues with the physical infrastructure, Oncor is who you call. For your electricity plan, billing, and customer support, you'll work with a retail electric provider like Ambit Energy. This separation between the utility that delivers power and the company that manages your rate plan is standard across Texas's deregulated electricity market, and it gives you the freedom to choose your provider and shop for competitive rates. Midland's semi-arid climate means hot, dry summers with temperatures regularly exceeding 98 degrees, which drives substantial cooling costs from June through September. Winter cooling needs are minimal, but the overall annual electricity consumption for a typical Midland household ranges from 1,400 to 1,900 kilowatt-hours. When comparing plans, focus on rates in the 1,000 to 2,000 kWh tier rather than heavily discounted introductory rates based on 500 kWh usage, since most households use considerably more over a full 12-month contract and will see better long-term savings by comparing realistic consumption bands.
