think again

owners of large draughty listed manor houses in the countryside will be subsidising everyone else's pension schemes over the next 10-20 years through their rather substantial heating bills

There'll be (say) a penny tacked on to everyone's unit rates* to pay for it, so the more you use the more you pay back and the more profit the energy companies will make from it

(*or they could tack it onto the standing charge instead, in which case you'd be largely right in your OP**)

(**so of course that's what they'll do. FFS)
