Summary

The Supplemental Low Income Energy Assistance Fund is the depository for energy assistance charges collected by utilities and participating municipal utilities and electric cooperatives authorized by the Electric Customer Choice and Rate Relief Act of 1997 (220 ILCS 5). The energy assistance charges provided a nonfederal funding stream to the Department for use in providing energy related assistance to low-income households under the Illinois Low Income Home Energy Assistance and Illinois Home Weatherization (LIHEAP) Programs. Since the changes were imposed in January of 1998, $406,683,769 has been deposited into the Fund through December 2003. Of this amount, the Department has spent $326,137,510 to provide energy assistance to 802,091 households; $33,845,784 to weatherize 6,584 homes; and $32,570,739 to cover administrative expenses.
