Odessa Electricity Rates and Companies

Our recommended Odessa energy plans

The best electricity plans in Odessa for most residents are usually fixed-rate plans, which keep your energy rate stable throughout your contract. Many popular plans also include bill credits that can significantly lower your effective electricity rate when your monthly usage falls within the plan’s intended range. Understanding your typical electricity usage can help you identify plans that offer the strongest savings opportunities.

Below are a few popular, well-trusted Odessa electricity plans to consider:

Best overall: Rhythm Max Saver 12

Rhythm Max Saver 12 is a strong option for many Odessa residents. The plan offers a $125 bill credit each month when usage reaches 1,000 kWh or more, creating an opportunity for significant savings. For households that regularly use around 1,000 kWh or more, the credit can help lower overall electricity costs and deliver a competitive effective rate. Rhythm’s renewable energy offerings and customer-friendly experience further enhance the plan’s appeal for many shoppers.

Best for high usage: Frontier Saver Deluxe 12

Frontier Saver Deluxe 12 may be a good fit for higher-usage households. The plan offers a $100 usage credit when you use at least 1,500 kWh in a billing cycle. While some high-usage plans require 2,000 kWh or more to earn the bill credit, many higher-usage residents do not consistently meet that threshold every month. A 1,500 kWh requirement may provide a more realistic opportunity to qualify for savings.

Best for low usage: APG&E Simple Choice 12

APG&E Simple Choice 12 is a solid choice for customers with lower or less predictable electricity usage. Many low-usage residents see the most month-to-month variation in their electricity use, which can make bill-credit plans risky. Because this plan does not rely on usage minimums or bill credits, your bill is less likely to jump simply because you missed a specific usage threshold.

The best electricity plan for you will depend on your preferred contract length, typical monthly kWh usage and whether you can consistently qualify for any bill credits. We recommend using our rate finder tool to compare plans and match with the best option for your home.

Oncor Electric Delivery is Odessa’s utility

While you can choose your electricity provider in a deregulated market, your utility company is determined by your address and cannot be changed. Utilities deliver electricity, maintain power lines, and restore service during power outages. The utility company for Odessa is Oncor Electric Delivery. In the event of a power outage or electrical emergency, call your utility company, not your provider. Here’s how to contact Oncor:

• Call 1-888-313-4747.
• Text “OUT” to 66267.
• Report an outage online.

All utility companies charge a transmission and distribution utility (TDU) fee for delivering electricity. This includes a base monthly charge and a usage charge per kWh. Oncor Electric Delivery charges $4.23/month and 5.6183 ¢/kWh.

Types of Odessa electric plans

Odessa electric companies offer a variety of plans with different features and rate structures. Here are some of the most common plan types you’ll encounter:

• Fixed-rate plans: With a fixed-rate plan, your price per kilowatt-hour (kWh) stays the same for the entire contract, which typically lasts one to three years. This plan type provides predictable monthly bills, but ending your plan early may result in an early termination fee (ETF).
• Variable-rate plans: These plans allow you to cancel service or switch Odessa electricity companies at any time, but the rates fluctuate with changes in the energy market. That means your energy rate can change each month, leading to riskier bills.
• No-deposit plans: Many electric companies in Odessa require a deposit before your service begins. If you’d rather avoid that initial fee, shop for no-deposit options, such as prepaid plans. You’ll pay for your energy upfront, and your supplier will notify you when your balance runs low.
• Time-of-use plans: A time-of-use (TOU) plan contains rates that fluctuate based on electricity demand. During times of low demand, such as late at night, you can enjoy a decreased rate. However, your rate may increase during peak hours, like mornings and afternoons. This plan could be advantageous if you are comfortable shifting your usage to capture lower rates during off-peak hours.

Understanding Odessa electric rates

Electricity prices in Odessa aren’t one-size-fits-all. Your total rate includes local transmission and delivery charges set by the utility in your area, which means the same plan can cost more or less in another part of Texas.

To learn how much renewable energy a plan includes, review its Electricity Facts Label (EFL). If you want to prioritize sustainability, you can filter for green plans or explore 100% renewable options from Odessa electricity companies like Green Mountain Energy, Rhythm Energy, Octopus Energy, and Gexa Energy.
