Types of electricity plans available in Midland

During your search for a Midland electricity plan, you’ll come across several types of plans. These are the major categories of plans:

• Fixed rates: Fixed rate plans lock your rate for the duration of the contract, even if market prices increase or decrease. They offer stability and protection from price spikes. If you decide to cancel early, it’s possible you may owe an early termination fee.
• Variable rates: Variable rate plans are month-to-month without a contract, so you can cancel whenever you want without penalty. However, they are generally more expensive and the rate can change each month. There’s no protection from market volatility.
• Time-of-use: Time-of-use plans offer varying rates based on the time of day or day of week. For example, free nights and free weekends are common. These plans are generally gimmicky because the rate when power is not “free” is very, very expensive.
• Bill credit: Bill credit plans offer money back when you use the “right” amount of power. Use the wrong amount, and your bill will be very expensive compared to a regular fixed-rate plan.

At BKV Energy, we recommend going with a simple fixed-rate plan without time-of-use or bill credit gimmicks.

Our flagship plan, Bluebonnet, comes with the choice of term length between 12, 24, and 36 months (we often offer even more term lengths than those three). The Bluebonnet plan has no base charges and no minimum usage fees. Choose between 29% or 100% renewable energy.

100% renewable energy plans in Midland

Want to go green? Choose the Bluebonnet Green plan variant for 100% renewable energy powered by Texas wind and solar farms. Just like the regular Bluebonnet plan, Bluebonnet Green is fixed-rate with no gimmicks and no hidden fees.

How Midland weather impacts your electricity bill

Midland sits in the Permian Basin, where high-desert climate swings harder and drier than almost anywhere else in Texas. Big temperatures swings between day and night, intense summer sun, and sudden winter cold fronts will impact your electricity bill in a variety of ways.

• Spring and fall: These months bring Midland’s mildest weather, with highs typically between the 70s and 80s and humidity lower than most of Texas. You can skip on the AC or run it very low. As a result, your electricity bills will hit their lowest of the year.
• Summer: Midland summers are intensely dry, with July and August capable of peaking over 100°F with cloudless skies. Because there is little moisture in the air, temperatures fall quickly after the sunsets. Daytime heat will force your AC to run hard during the day. You can expect your highest bills of the year.
• Winter: Winter is generally short and mild, but Midland’s exposed, high-elevation location also means that fast-moving cold fronts and occasional hard freezes will bring sub-freezing temps and the need to blast the heat.

Whether it’s a dry summer day or frozen winter morning, fixed-rate plans are generally your best bet in Midland. By locking in a low fixed-rate, you avoid the volatility that summer and winter weather bring.

What you need to know before moving to Midland

Midland sits at the heart of the Permian Basin, one of the most productive oil fields on Earth, and that single fact shapes nearly everything about life here — from the job market to the skyline to how the local economy rises and falls with oil prices.

Economy and major employers

Midland’s economy runs on energy. The city is home to headquarters and regional campuses for ConocoPhillips, ExxonMobil, EOG Resources, and Occidental, alongside major operators like Diamondback Energy — and the oil and gas sector alone accounts for roughly a third of all local jobs.

Midland has also started diversifying: AST SpaceMobile, a satellite communications company, is headquartered here, and the Midland International Air & Space Port gives the city a foothold in aerospace alongside its energy roots.

Housing and cost of living

Thanks to the energy sector’s high wages, Midland has one of the highest per-capita incomes in the country. Recent city data puts it among the top two nationally. Housing has climbed accordingly: median home values run somewhere in the $290,000–$350,000 range depending on the source and neighborhood, and both rents and home prices tend to move with the oil cycle, climbing fast during a boom and cooling off when drilling activity slows. It’s a city where earning potential is high, but so is the cost of keeping up with a fast-growing, energy-driven housing market.

What it’s like to live in Midland

An oil town through and through

Nicknamed “The Tall City” for its distinctive downtown skyline — built up during past oil booms — Midland has been the financial and cultural center of the Permian Basin for a century. It’s also known as the childhood home of George W. and Laura Bush, commemorated today at the George W. Bush Childhood Home museum downtown.

Things to do

Midland’s cultural scene punches above its size for a city its population, with the Petroleum Museum, Museum of the Southwest, and Blakemore Planetarium covering everything from local energy history to science and art, and the Wagner Noël Performing Arts Center hosting touring Broadway shows, concerts, and the Midland-Odessa Symphony. Outdoor spots like Wadley-Barron Park and Hogan Park round out the city’s recreational side.

Education and community

Midland College serves the city directly, with UT Permian Basin and Odessa College nearby in Odessa. With a population of roughly 140,000, Midland offers a tight-knit community feel alongside genuinely big-city income potential, a place where the energy industry doesn’t just employ people, it shapes the pace and character of the whole city.

Avoid these common electricity plan traps in Midland

In Midland’s deregulated energy market, enticing electricity plans often lead to higher costs. Free nights and weekends or bill credit plans compensate with inflated rates at other times. Bullseye and variable rate plans can be unpredictable and costly if usage doesn’t align. Consumers should review the Electricity Facts Label and consider fixed-rate plans for transparency.
