LIEN’s proposal for a ratepayer-funded Ontario Home Energy Affordability Program

A proposal for a ratepayer-funded Ontario Home Energy Affordability Program was developed for LIEN in 2006 by Roger Colton, a U.S. low-income energy expert with expertise in energy poverty alleviation programs.  It included five major components: rate affordability, arrears management, crisis intervention, conservation and demand management, and consumer protections. It also provided analysis that Ontario’s low-income consumers should not be paying more than 6% of their total household income on energy.   https://lowincomeenergy.ca/assets/sitedocs/2006/05/2_colton-ontario-home-energy-affordability-program-2006-04-13-eb-2006-0520-k151.pdf
