Dayton Power and Light Encourages Customers to Be Aware of Winter Electricity Usage

The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), a subsidiary of The AES
Corporation (NYSE: AES), encourages customers to be aware of their
electricity usage at home during extreme cold temperatures through the
winter heating season. As the temperature drops, your energy bill can
rise due to higher usage. Heating and cooling make up nearly half of
your home’s energy usage.

During extreme drops in temperature, similar to what West Central Ohio
has experienced this past week, systems work much harder to maintain a
set temperature. If the outside temperature is extremely cold, the
desired temperature inside may never be reached. Plus, using additional
heat sources, such as space heaters, to compensate for the cold weather
also has the potential to increase electric utility bills.

DP&L understands that high winter bills can be a financial challenge for
our customers, and we have several assistance options to help manage
winter energy bills:

1. Budget Billing allows customers to pay the same amount each
   month based on historical usage. In August, we will “settle up” and
   your bill will reflect the credit or balance due. Learn
   more.
2. Pay Agreements assist customers with a past due balance. DP&L
   offers Pay Agreements to help you get caught up. We offer three
   options to help spread the costs of past due bills. Learn
   more.
3. Financial Assistance The State of Ohio offers assistance
   programs based on household income. Learn
   more.

   The United Way’s HelpLink is available by calling
   2-1-1. Connect with a live person 24 hours a day who can help you
   navigate community resources that may be able to assist. Learn
   more.

4. Medical Need assistance is available if a permanent member of
   your household receives care for a serious medical condition, and you
   need help paying your energy bill, you may qualify for special
   assistance. Learn
   more.
5. Gift of Power is DP&L’s one-time emergency relief fund for
   customers experiencing financial hardship and need assistance with
   winter heating bills. The program is administered by The Salvation
   Army. Customers who have received a disconnection notice can apply for
   2018 assistance beginning January 16. Learn
   more.

   Customers receiving PIPP assistance who have
   received a disconnection notice are eligible to apply beginning April
   1.
