Business Wire
The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of
The AES Corporation (NYSE: AES), is launching a new customer
emergency relief program for those struggling to pay their winter
heating bills. Gift of Power is designed to assist families during
the coldest and highest heating bill months of the year.
The program goal is to prevent disconnection or help restore
customers who have been disconnected. Gift of Power will aid
customers who may not be eligible for Ohio Energy Assistance
programs and have recently incurred a financial hardship, such as
the loss of employment, major medical bills or the loss of a
spouse.
“Anyone can get behind in paying their bills when the unexpected
occurs, and DP&L wants to lighten that load. The Gift of Power
program will help customers who are facing disconnection and need
assistance with their winter heating bills. We care about our
customers’ well-being, and through DP&L’s Gift of Power we can
continue keeping these families warm as we enter another winter
heating season,” said Tom Raga, DP&L president and CEO.
DP&L is partnering with The Salvation Army, which will
administer the Gift of Power funds. The launch will be marked by a
$115,000 corporate grant presented by DP&L’s President and CEO
Tom Raga to The Salvation Army. This amount represents initial
funding for the program, which starts January 19, 2016 and runs
through April 15, 2016.
Customers can help keep their neighbors warm by making a
donation to Gift of Power or contacting The Salvation Army at
937-528-5145. For more information visit our website at
