Rhythm Saver 12
Two separate discounts need two separate checks. Rhythm Saver 12 has a $100 usage credit at 1,000 kWh and a separate $5 monthly autopay and paperless credit. The usage credit depends on consumption; the $5 credit depends on account conditions. Our calculations assume the $5 credit applies in every month and apply the $100 credit only in qualifying months.

What goes into the bill
All modeled bills assume you earn this account credit in every billing cycle. Without it, each modeled monthly bill increases by $5.00 and the twelve-month total increases by $60.00.
Oncor delivery was checked on October 23, 2026 against the delivery schedule updated October 4, 2026. The modeled delivery amounts are separate from the fixed supplier energy charge. These assumptions stay fixed in this dated analysis.
See what changes at the credit threshold
Each bar is one separate monthly bill. Compare the readings just below and at each threshold: using slightly more electricity can qualify for a credit that changes the bill sharply.

1,000 kWh on average is not 1,000 every month
Our standard seasonal example uses 12,000 kWh over twelve months. Its modeled annual cost is $1,913.00, equivalent to 15.94¢/kWh. It earns a usage credit in 5 months, with $500.00 in usage credits.
The table’s credit column also includes the conditional $5.00 account credit in all twelve months, totaling $60.00 for the year.
| Month | kWh | Credit | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| January | 1,010 | $105.00 | $103.10 |
| February | 890 | $5.00 | $178.86 |
| March | 790 | $5.00 | $158.66 |
| April | 720 | $5.00 | $144.52 |
| May | 890 | $5.00 | $178.86 |
| June | 1,180 | $105.00 | $137.45 |
| July | 1,390 | $105.00 | $179.87 |

The annual total sums unrounded monthly calculations; displayed monthly amounts are rounded to cents. Your usage, billing cycles, fees and future delivery charges can change the result.
Who should take a closer look
Review your lowest-use months and your willingness to maintain the payment settings. Our seasonal example earns five $100 credits and twelve $5 credits. Using exactly 1,000 kWh every month would earn seven additional usage credits, reducing the annual bill by $700.
This is Rhythm Saver 12, not Rhythm Max Saver 12. Names alone do not establish the same offer. The EFL warns that partial billing cycles can affect credit qualification. Losing the $5 account credit for every month adds $60 to the modeled annual total.
Read the contract’s cancellation conditions and exceptions. A fixed energy rate does not freeze delivery charges or other changes permitted by the contract.
