    IPL offers five useful resources to help with winter electricity bills

    IPL offers five useful resources to help with winter electricity bills

    INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. — Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL), a subsidiary of The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), has five convenient and easy resources available to customers receiving higher electricity bills due to December’s extreme cold temperatures, which averaged near 23 degrees Fahrenheit.

    Cold weather can affect energy usage as nearly 47 percent of energy is used during winter months to heat homes. There are many other factors that can also influence electric consumption, such as winter school break (think more laundry, lights on, gaming use, TV streaming, and in and out traffic), holiday lights and entertaining guests during the holidays.

    IPL understands that high winter bills can be a financial challenge for our customers, so here are five resources available to help IPL customers manage costs:

    1. Budget Billing allows customers to pay the same amount for 11 months and then settle the difference on the 12th month.
       
    2. Payment Extensions can be requested online at IPLpower.com or by calling the automated system at 317.261.8222 and selecting option 2 from the main menu.
       
    3. Preferred Bill Date is offered for IPL customers who want a due date that best matches their paydays.
       
    4. Financial Assistance is available by calling the Connect2Help line at 2-1-1.
       
    5. PowerToolsTM programs can be found at IPLpower.com/powertools and are available to help customers manage their households' energy usage and bills.

    Information on all of IPL’s payment and billing options can be found by going to IPLpower.com.
