Low-income Energy Assistance Program (LEAP)
Emergency utility-bill assistance
Possible emergency help if you are behind on electricity or natural-gas bills and face disconnection. This is not a guaranteed payment.
Coverage: Ontario-wide program, accessed through an intake agency
Who may be eligible
These are starting-point criteria, not an eligibility decision. The provider makes the final assessment.
- You must meet the program criteria; the provincial page describes households behind on bills and facing disconnection.
How to access support
- Follow the LEAP link on the provincial energy-cost page to identify the intake-agency process. Contact your utility about the situation.
Confirm current service area, appointments and access arrangements before travelling.
What to confirm with the provider
- Intake capacity, funding and your eligibility are not confirmed. This directory does not stop a disconnection or submit an application.
We cannot confirm live availability, spaces, stock or your individual eligibility.
