Business Wire
The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of
The AES Corporation (NYSE:AES), is proud to announce the Gift of
Power program’s second season. The fund provides emergency relief
for DP&L customers struggling to pay their winter heating
bills.
Gift of Power helps customers who are just above the income
guidelines for other Ohio Energy Assistance programs and are
experiencing a financial hardship, such as the loss of a spouse or
an unexpected cost, making it difficult to stay current with their
bills. The goal is to prevent disconnection or help quickly restore
customers who have been disconnected. The program begins the day
after Martin Luther King Jr. Day (January 17, 2017) and runs
through April 15, 2017.
The program’s inaugural year was very successful, helping over
400 families in our service territory. “The launch of Gift of Power
more than exceeded our expectations. We were hoping for a strong
first year, and thanks to the generous donations and support from
our community, that happened. The response was tremendous from our
customers, employees and other stakeholders, who donated an
additional $60,000 to DP&L’s initial funding. We are grateful
to everyone who helped our Ohio neighbors stay warm,” said Tom
Raga, DP&L’s President and CEO.
We are again partnering with The Salvation Army, who will be
administering the program. The kickoff will launch with a $115,000
DP&L corporate grant.
