Hi @pb940
The unit rate of 23.85p is the rate that it was before the 1st April when all unit rates, including fixed rates, went down due to government changes.
If you look at that first screenshot is says that tariff ended on 31st March 2026.
Your revised fixed tariff is your second screenshot which says it started on1st April and is now 20.51p.
The 21.54p in the third screenshot is simply the 20.51p plus 5% VAT.
If you scroll down to the bottom of the Plan page then it tells you there that VAT is excluded from those figures.
You have to be careful because the plan pages and your billing) show the unit rate before VAT.
However for the purposes of renewals, quotes, and comparisons the rate including VAT is shown, to make it easier to compare with other companies tariff rates.
The government is cutting VAT on household electricity prices from 1 October 2026 to help with the cost of living.
