This dialogue is fictional and based on the article.

Chako: Hey Log, I heard that subsidies for electricity and gas bills are starting up again!
Log: Yeah, it seems the government is set to resume them from January to March next year. It looks like it will be around a thousand yen per month on average.
Chako: That’s such a huge help! But why are they resuming the subsidies?
Log: I think it’s because of the rising prices. Many households are feeling the strain, so they need the support.
Navi: The prices of electricity and gas have been rising due to recent inflation, significantly impacting household living costs. With the resumption of the subsidies, it’s expected that the financial burden on families will be eased.

Admin’s Note

The resumption of subsidies for electricity and gas bills is incredibly important news for many households. Especially in light of the rising cost of living due to recent inflation, government support measures will be a strong ally. As Chako mentioned, children may also be feeling the impact. I hope that such support will continue in the future.
