Variable tariff already increased?

I thought the variable tariff was due to increase in april, but looking at my energy account it is already showing the increased rates. Is this right? How can I make sure the energy I have used is charged at the correct rate at time of usage?

If you look closely I suspect you'll find your energy company is telling you what your future rates will be rather than what you're currently paying. I've seen another thread here where this was the case recently.

Doesnt look like it. It is stating current tariff has electricity at 27p kWh with standing charge of 44p per day. And gas at 7.2p per kwh and 27p per day standing charge.

Helps if I read the whole page small print. Found this:

Any variable prices shown reflect the new prices that will go live on 1st April.

You're not the first and won't be the last confused by this. Vital details like this should be prominent not something you have to hunt for.
