Yes. This is true. Especially if the scheme is designed in a rush. If they had gotten started on the work in April maybe they could have done something effective. Now we are in mid October there is no way to do this for winter 2022/23.
In principle you could imagine a system where the first essential amount of energy for each household gets a heavily subsided price and then each further block of energy attracts an ever escalating price. Probably with regional variation in the size of the blocks to reflect the fact it is a lot colder in winter in Glasgow than London for example. But doing something like this requires a focused competent government.
