Midland Electricity Rates 2026

Midland is the commercial hub of the Permian Basin, one of the most productive oil and gas regions on Earth. The city's electricity market reflects this energy-industry heritage — AEP Texas provides distribution infrastructure across Midland and the broader Permian Basin, and its deregulated status under ERCOT gives residential customers the same ability to shop competing REPs as consumers in Dallas or Houston. The local economy's oil boom and bust cycles have historically made Midland one of the fastest-growing — and fastest-contracting — metros in Texas.

Residential electricity rates in Midland generally range from 9 to 14 cents per kWh for the supply portion. AEP Texas TDSP delivery charges add an additional 4 to 5 cents per kWh to all bills regardless of the REP chosen. The Permian Basin's high daytime temperatures (regularly above 100°F in summer) combined with strong winds make the region one of the most promising in the U.S. for wind energy development — several of the large West Texas wind farms that power ERCOT's renewable generation are within sight of Midland.

REPs serving Midland ZIP codes (79701–79708) include TXU Energy, Pulse Power, Discount Power, Gexa Energy, Champion Energy, Direct Energy, and TriEagle Energy.

Midland Tip: Oil-field workers on rotational schedules often have higher-than-average electricity usage when home. Compare plans at both 1,000 kWh and 2,000 kWh usage levels to find the best effective rate for your actual consumption pattern.
