Low Income Energy Network

The Low-Income Energy Network was formed in early 2004 to raise awareness of the implications for low-income households of increases in energy prices and to suggest solutions that will reduce the energy burden of these vulnerable consumers. ACTO is one of the founding members of LIEN.

LIEN has over 80 members from a broad range of environmental, legal, tenant/housing, and social service organizations across Ontario that have endorsed its mandate.

LIEN’s strategy involves a province-wide, comprehensive approach to low-income energy conservation and assistance. It places the greatest emphasis and resources on long-term, environmentally sustainable measures to reduce energy consumption and costs for low-income households.
