Provider profile

InsideRhythm Energy.

Rhythm is a 2020 entrant — a young, all-renewable REP based in Houston with a sharp tech-and-design culture (the founding team came from Direct Energy's product side). They've grown faster than any other new Texas REP since launch.

Aggressive on rate for green plans (often within 0.2-0.5¢ of the absolute cheapest non-green rate), and bundles in points-based rewards (Rhythm Rewards) and EV-specific plans (Rhythm Charge).

Best fit if you...

  • Renewable-energy buyers who don't want to pay a green premium — Rhythm prices their 100% renewable plans aggressively.
  • EV owners — Rhythm Charge is one of the cleanest EV-specific tariffs in Texas.
  • Customers who want a modern mobile app and a brand that takes design seriously.

Watch out for

  • !Limited operating history (founded 2020) — less BBB/PUCT record to evaluate against than 20-year-old incumbents.
  • !Rewards points have nominal cash-equivalent value but redemption options are narrower than TXU Cash Back.
  • !Aggressive promotional rates sometimes step up after a teaser period — read the EFL.

What makes Rhythm Energy different

Best-priced 100% renewable plans in Texas, and the only major REP with an EV-tariff product that's competitive on rate at the same time.

Rhythm Energy FAQ

Common questions about Rhythm Energy.

What does Rhythm Energy charge per kWh?

+

Rhythm Energy plans range from 8.30¢/kWh on the cheapest fixed plan to roughly 18.70¢/kWh on its premium products. The average across all 4 plans is 14.52¢/kWh at 1,000 kWh of monthly usage. Always check the EFL — advertised rates can differ at 500 or 2,000 kWh.

Is Rhythm Energy a legitimate Texas REP?

+

Yes. Rhythm Energy is a licensed Retail Electric Provider in Texas, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Houston, TX. It's regulated by the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) and serves customers across the deregulated Texas market.

How long does it take to switch to Rhythm Energy?

+

Most enrollments process in 1–3 business days. Rhythm Energy files the switch with your local TDU (Oncor, CenterPoint, AEP, or TNMP) — there's no service interruption, and your meter and wires don't change. Same-day or next-day moves are available for new addresses with priority enrollment.

Does Rhythm Energy require a deposit?

+

Rhythm Energy typically runs a soft credit check at enrollment. Customers with strong credit usually pay no deposit. If a deposit is required, it's typically refunded after 12 months of on-time payments. To skip the deposit entirely, look at prepaid options or a co-signer.

What's the early termination fee with Rhythm Energy?

+

On fixed-rate plans, ETFs typically run $150 (under 12 months), $250 (12-month plans), or $295 (24+ month plans). Month-to-month variable plans have no ETF. The exact fee is listed in the EFL for each plan — always verify before signing.

Can I keep Rhythm Energy if I move within Texas?

+

Yes, as long as you're moving to another deregulated area on a TDU Rhythm Energy serves. You'll typically transfer your plan to the new address without paying an ETF. If you move to a regulated market or municipal utility area (like Austin Energy or CPS), you'll need to cancel — most providers waive the ETF in that case with proof of address.
