Right next to it on the list
A rank or two either side of the Thermador T36IT902NP: Thermador T36IT901NP ($110/yr, 585 kWh/yr), then TRUARCTIC TARFD2231SS ($110/yr, 585 kWh/yr).
Comparing Thermador's own models
Ranked 48 of Thermador's 54 certified refrigerators, this sits between the T24IR905SP ($48/yr, the brand's cheapest) and the T48IT100NP ($126/yr, its priciest).
What this adds up to over time
Over the 13-year service life NAHB reports for this category, running the Thermador T36IT902NP costs roughly $1,430 in electricity, separate from the purchase price.
Shopping for a new one
The Thermador T36IT902NP runs above its category average. If the refrigerator you actually own is older still, likely well past ENERGY STAR's efficiency baseline when it was made, a current certified model could cost meaningfully less than this model's $110/year every year.
Worth comparing a few current certified models before deciding.
If you're keeping it
The Thermador T36IT902NP already costs $110/year to run; a repair bill on top of that is the kind of expense a protection plan exists to smooth out.
