Description
Founded in 1986, the National Low Income Energy Consortium (NLIEC) brings together public, private and nonprofit sector organizations and individuals for a common purpose: reducing the residential energy and utility hardships and crises faced by low-income consumers. It does this by finding common ground among diverse groups that work with, serve or represent low-income energy and utility consumers; exploring, exchanging and promoting innovative ideas and successful efforts that improve the ability of low income consumers to access and afford energy and utilities; and setting an agenda for low income energy policy at the federal, state and local levels.
