It's not intended to be welfare as such, but compensation for the poor who will be disproportionately targeted becaue energy costs are a higher percentage of their income.

The tax gathers money from the generators at the wholesale level to change the bidding order into the NEM. This money is then redistributed to the people who have higher electricity bills. There is likely to be mone left over because I don't think they'll compensate businesses.

The 'other stuff' you decribe is often called Complementary Measures. Most people argue that there need to be some in conjunction with a tax.
