How weather affects Odessa electricity rates
Like the rest of Texas, weather conditions in Odessa can be extreme. In the summer months, temperatures often reach the mid-90s. Winter temperatures, meanwhile, are commonly in the low 30s.
Because of the harsh heat, electricity demand spikes in summer – meaning that rates are normally at their highest during the summer months. If you shop for a new plan when demand is lower (like in the winter), you’re more likely to find the cheapest Odessa electricity rates.

Types of plans in Odessa
Odessa residents can choose from several types of electricity plans, including fixed-rate, variable-rate, no-deposit, and green energy plans. Our guide to picking a plan explains more about these plan types. We’ve also highlighted a few of the most popular options below. If you have questions, dial the phone number on your screen to connect with a SaveOnEnergy expert.
Fixed-rate plans in Odessa
If you pick a fixed-rate plan, you’ll enter into a contract with your electric company (generally 12, 24, or 36 months). During this period, your rate won’t change – which normally gives you a more predictable energy bill. On the downside, canceling your contract before it expires could require you to pay an early termination fee (ETF).
Variable-rate plans in Odessa
There are no contracts or guaranteed rates with a variable-rate plan. Instead, your monthly rate will change depending on the energy market. When demand is lower, you could notice some savings. But when demand is high, your bill could skyrocket. You do not have to sign a contract under a variable-rate plan, so you can switch to another plan at any time.

Texas is among the country’s largest producers of wind and solar energy – which is great for its residents who want to live more sustainably. In fact, all electricity plans in Texas contain a portion of energy from renewable sources.
