Most, but not all, have since had their service restored.</p><p>"As of about 8:30 a.m. on June 20, Duke reported 4,235 customers without power throughout the state.

Heat indices could spike into the triple digits on June 22 and June 23 as both the temperature and humidity levels climb to their highest levels so far this year.</p><p>" 'We know being without power in this heat is difficult ... our crews continue working around the clock to restore service,' an AES spokesperson said."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.indystar.com/story/news/local/2025/06/20/hoosiers-remain-without-power-ahead-of-extreme-heat-wave-aes-duke-energy-electricity/84283998007/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">indystar.com/story/news/local/</span><span class="invisible">2025/06/20/hoosiers-remain-without-power-ahead-of-extreme-heat-wave-aes-duke-energy-electricity/84283998007/</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.ph/IApWR" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.ph/IApWR</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndianaWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IndianaWx</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Indianapolis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Indianapolis</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PowerOutages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>PowerOutages</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Heatwaves" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Heatwaves</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Storms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Storms</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeHeat" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeHeat</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWx" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeWx</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Wetbulb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Wetbulb</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ClimateChange" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ClimateChange</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExtremeWeather" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ExtremeWeather</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GlobalHeating" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GlobalHeating</span></a></p>
