Who wins?
Gexa's Eco Saver plans are cheaper at 1,000+ kWh if you reliably hit the bill credit threshold — effective rates in the 10-11¢/kWh range. Rhythm's 100% renewable plans come in at 11.5-12.5¢/kWh flat with no threshold games. For steady-usage households (1,100+ kWh every month), Gexa saves $10-15/month. For variable-usage households or anyone who travels frequently, Rhythm's flat pricing avoids the credit-miss penalty and often comes out cheaper over a full year. If you want the cleanest, simplest renewable plan with zero surprises, Rhythm. If you want the absolute cheapest green rate and can guarantee the usage, Gexa.
