Yes, debt is involved, but consumers pay it back when the market starts getting back to normal.
Businesses are also to be helped through measures such as reducing business rates.

Or, and hear me out on this, share the load between consumers and business?
When the market "gets back to normal", the energy suppliers make a bit less profit, and also (as well as consumers) pay back the Government, otherwise, it just seems that they never share any of the downsides, only take profits…
