Lenz law states that the induced current always tends to oppose the cause which produce it. Then, in order to do work against opposing force we have to add extra effort. This extra work is responsible of a periodic change in magnetic flux and then more current is induced.

Based on the previous description, you can conclude that Lenz's law supports the law of conservation of energy.
