The Low-Income Energy Network (LIEN) is a joint program of CELA and the Advocacy Centre for Tenants Ontario (ACTO) and is funded by Legal Aid Ontario. [...] Energy System and Low-Income Communities Low-income and vulnerable communities bear the brunt of the impacts of climate change. [...] To ensure this timeline is met, the Ministry of Energy should set up a task force with social service agencies, low-income advocacy groups, Enbridge Gas, electric utilities, Ministry, and Independent Electricity Systems Operator officials to develop and implement a strategy focused on low-income consumers by 2035. [...] Transparency on Modelling More transparency is needed to examine the appropriateness of the assumptions used for the models. [...] We recommend that the IESO study alternatives and model several scenarios to allow for better comparisons of the costs and benefits of various approaches.
