You don’t “have” to choose a fixed tariff. Suppliers really want you to as these aren’t covered by the price cap, and if you value certainty then certainly one to go for. But there’s still a fairly large (but decreasing) delta between the fixed tariff prices and even the new price cap that will be there come April.
Suppliers have to offer the variable rate, but don’t have to make it easy. If you’re on variable already then doing nothing will just mean your unit costs will increase in line with the new (higher) price cap that comes into place in April.
