About Midland
What you're shopping for power in.
Midland is the corporate capital of the Permian Basin oil boom — the largest concentration of oil-and-gas HQs and offices in West Texas. Housing market swings hard with crude prices.
Climate & bill pattern
Semi-arid West Texas climate — hot dry summers, cold dry winters, low humidity year-round.
Dry climate makes AC loads slightly lower than Houston for the same temperature; bills run moderate, but Permian boom years drive premium home builds (3,000+ sq ft) that scale up usage.
