    Wish i was offered that tariff with SP.
    I currently pay 14p per kwh for electric with them, and they are offering me this Fixed May 2023 tariff....
    Incidentally i currently pay £108 a month, this tariff would cost me £260 a month! 

    That tariff is identical to quote page for prospective new customers, effectively go away rates, I would be very suprised if SP have emailed you offering that tariff as a existing customer with fixed rate renewal due in forthcoming months without offering another cheaper fixed rate
    They sent an email saying current tariff ends Feb 28th, click on link to choose new tariff. 
    Above is the cheapest, there is another over 2 years for £261 a month. 

    Makes it an easy choice for me, do nothing.

    That is very close to one of the other offers that are available to me now, its not a new customer tariff, just an (unattractive) option for those wanting a longer fix.

    You could, I suspect, phone them up (or contact via another means, webchat or Twitter or whatever) and ask for the "Exclusive Fixed March 2023" tariff that's been offered to the OP.
    If you'd rather have the SVT, of course, there's no need to do anything.
