Regional utility serving 500K+ customers across Indiana with grid modernization focus
AES Indiana operates a legacy utility stack—DNP3, Modbus, SCADA, SAP, Excel—typical of regional grid operators managing transmission and distribution. Active hiring across engineering and operations, combined with project intensity around T&D system upgrades and protective relay installations, signals sustained capital deployment in grid infrastructure. Pain-point clustering (storm restoration, outage response, procurement delays, multi-million-dollar project management) reflects the operational friction common to utilities scaling beyond 1990s-era systems.
