Too complicated and will piss people off. The real answer is to have the cost absorbed by the energy companies first until they run out of profits. THEN we can look at it hitting people directly.

Alternatively have you considered letting energy companies offset the price entierly to the consumer and then also giving them a tax rebate once the crisis is over to account for the increase in costs that they didn't even pay themselves?

Omg working only 3 days a week, what horror 😱

It will be pretty horrible if you still need 5 days of work to buy food, but are only allowed 3 days of working.

Unless the wage gets adjusted as well, haven't read the article yet.
