I think 6 months makes more sense. It gets you past the winter and then you can reassess the situation in the spring when things are warmer.

Hopefully, it gives the government time to devise a more targeted scheme as well. I like the idea of the taper which means the subsidy gets lower the more energy you use apart from people that have special requirements, i.e machines to manage a disability, which should IMO be supported entirely by the government anyway.

They should also do the windfall tax on producers, makes the policy much cheaper.
