INDIANAPOLIS – Duke Energy is prepared to assist customers who may struggle to pair their winter energy bills.
The company is contributing $700,000 for low-income customer energy assistance through its Helping Hand program. In addition, Duke Energy Indiana customers are contributing more than $87,000, raising this year’s total to approximately $800,000.
Customers who need help paying their electricity bills can receive up to $300 toward their bill if their local Energy Assistance Program agency determines they are eligible based on need and other criteria.
“During the past 30 years, the program has made the cold winter months warmer for customers in need,” said Duke Energy Indiana President Doug Esamann. “Last year, we were able to help more than 6,600 Hoosiers.”
