I'm not sure whether the mentioned increase is already built into the CEC projection.

Given the Bulb's price do not go up until the 12th August, I would say that the prices on CEC and all switching sites would still be the current price as with 21 days to switch, you are still in early July if you switch today.

The Vari-Fair tariff - Bulb's standard and only tariff, with a variable rate - will rise by 5.1% for new customers from today (Monday 11 June). Existing customers - and those already in the process of switching to Bulb - will see the same price rise on Sunday 12 August.

Missed that bit. Thanks for the correction.

I switched about a month ago, updated CEC with my new supplier (bulb) today. My new projection uses the increased bulb rates.

You need to check the CEC is using the correct tariff date. It is often the case that suppliers use the same tariff name and the rates change: often on changed tariffs there will be an annotation such as tariff XYZ from Apr 2018.
