Dayton Power and Light’s Gift of Power Will Help Local Families Stay Warm During Winter Months

DAYTON, Ohio–(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
