A question that is way above my pay grade as I like to say at work.
The only option is that the government need to stick a cap on essentials (fuel, energy and certain items of food) and then take the rough with the smooth.
They already do for residents. It's why if you are on a variable contract it's cheaper now than refixing. It's also why a bunch of energy suppliers have gone bust.
P.s. there is another energy price rise on the cap scheduled for this october which i believe will add like another 50% to your energy bills
