Common questions

Who is my electric utility in ZIP 79762?

Oncor Electric Delivery is typically the TDU that delivers electricity and restores outages in 79762 (Odessa northeast)—the Midland–Odessa Permian competitive wires company. You pick a Retail Electric Provider (REP). Outages: 888-313-4747; CS 888-313-6862. Rural edges may touch TNMP or co-ops—verify ESI ID.

Who do I call when the power goes out?

Call Oncor at 888-313-4747, text OUT to 66267 if enrolled, or use oncor.com outage tools. Your REP does not restore wires or poles. Downed line: stay away, call 911 and Oncor. If your bill shows TNMP or a co-op, use that provider’s outage number instead.

Does Odessa use Houston or Dallas 311?

What should I do before digging in the yard?

Call 811 (Texas 811) before any digging or landscaping that disturbs soil so underground electric, gas, water, and telecom lines can be marked. Hitting a line can be dangerous and costly.
