Indianapolis – Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL) announced today the utility has filed its 2015-2016 Demand Side Management and Energy Efficiency plan with the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission (IURC).
IPL has a long history of implementing and delivering cost–effective Demand Side Management and Energy Efficiency programs for its customers.

- Residential Appliance Recycling: Provides incentives to homeowners to recycle older, less efficient refrigerators, freezers and window AC units.
- Residential Peer Comparison Reports: Informs customers about their household’s energy use, including a comparison to similar homes in their area.
