Utility rules and programs for Jeffersonville
Duke Energy Indiana and Clark County Rural E M C serve Clark County, so which rules apply depends on your address.
| Utility | Type | Battery and related programs |
|---|---|---|
| Duke Energy Indiana, LLC | investor-owned | Power Manager pays $75 up front and $25 a year for letting Duke adjust a smart thermostat at peak times (Jan. 2026 news report). We found no Duke solar, battery or EV rebate; HVAC and thermostat rebate amounts conflict across sources, so ask Duke. |
| Clark County Rural E M C | member-owned cooperative | We found no solar or battery rebate from this co-op; the AFDC lists several Indiana REMCs as offering some incentives, so ask. |
Program details are from each utility’s own pages (read October 2026). See the Indiana incentives table for statewide credits and a status for every program.
What to plan for in Jeffersonville
- Strong winds (relatively high): High winds knock out lines on ordinary days. A battery or portable power station handles the common short outages; add a generator for multi-day repairs.
- Tornadoes (relatively high): Tornado-season storms cut power quickly. A battery that switches on by itself, or a portable generator ready to go, covers the first night; sirens and weather radios need power too.
- River and heavy-rain flooding (relatively moderate): Heavy rain can flood basements and take out power. Put sump pumps on backup power and keep equipment above the flood line.
