Duke Energy is kicking in $650,000 for low-income customer energy assistance through its Helping Hand program this year.
In addition, contributions from Duke Energy Indiana customers and employees have raised this year’s total energy assistance to approximately $750,000.
Duke works with the Indiana Community Action Association and the Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority’s Energy Assistance Program, which determines eligibility and distributes the funds.
Last year, the company helped more than 3,700 Hoosiers who needed assistance paying their electricity bills.
