Just checked again with energylinx (rather than moneysavingclub) and the
cheapest fixed dual fuel tariff available now is £66/year more than my
fix due to expire end of March.

I can find a fixed gas tariff £26/year cheaper and a variable
electricity tariff only £34/year more expensive, but no fixed
electricity tariff better than £60/year more expensive.

So if retail gas prices are down, presumably wholesale prices are too?
Given how much of our electricity comes from gas what, other than
renewables, is pushing electricity prices up?

I'd guess most energy is priced in dollars.

That's unlikely with what is used to generate electricity in the UK.

With the pound down against
the dollar, any current purchases will cost more. Most large suppliers buy
well in advance, so price rises due to that could take some time to filter
through.
