          Under Rule U-3A-2 from the Provisions of the
           Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935

              To Be Filed Annually Prior to March 1


                    IPALCO ENTERPRISES, INC.

hereby files with the Securities and Exchange Commission (Commission),
pursuant to Rule 2, its statement claiming exemption as a holding company
from the provisions of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935,
and submits the following information:
     
     1.  Name, State of organization, location and nature of business of
claimant and every subsidiary thereof, other than any exempt wholesale
generator (EWG) or foreign utility company in which claimant directly or
indirectly holds an interest:

          IPALCO Enterprises, Inc. (claimant) is an Indiana
     corporation and has its principal executive office at One
     Monument Circle, Indianapolis, Indiana 46204.  
          
          Indianapolis Power & Light Company (IPL) is an Indiana
     corporation engaged in the business of generating,
     transmitting and selling electric energy in the City of
     Indianapolis, Marion County and in neighboring cities, towns
     and communities and adjacent rural areas, all within the
     State of Indiana, the most distant point being about forty
     miles from Indianapolis.  It also produces, distributes and
     sells steam within a limited area in such City.  In July,
     1965, IPL formed Property and Land Company, Inc., an Indiana
     Corporation, for the purpose of engaging in the business of
     buying, owning, holding, improving, leasing, selling, and
     otherwise dealing in and with real estate, and for other
     general purposes.  
          
          In 1996, IPL formed IPL Funding Corporation, an Indiana
     corporation, for purposes of engaging in a financing
     transaction.
          
          Unless otherwise indicated, each of the following
     subsidiaries is an Indiana corporation conducting business within
     the State of Indiana.  In July, 1984, claimant organized Mid-
     America Capital Resources, Inc. (MACR), a wholly-owned subsidiary
     of claimant, under and through which claimant intends to conduct
     its non-regulated activities.  On November 17, 1989 a wholly owned
     subsidiary of MACR, called Mid-America Energy Resources, Inc.
     (MAER) was formed to own and operate a district cooling system to
     provide chilled water for the purpose of air conditioning buildings
     in downtown Indianapolis.  On July 25, 1991, MAER acquired
     Cleveland Thermal Energy Corporation (CTEC), an Ohio corporation,
     as a subsidiary.  CTEC owns and operates a steam heating system in
     Cleveland, Ohio.  On March 31, 1992, Cleveland District Cooling
     Corporation (CDCC), an Ohio corporation, was formed to own and
     operate a district cooling system in downtown Cleveland.    
          
          In 1992, MACR acquired a 30% ownership interest in
     Store Heat and Produce Energy, Inc. (SHAPE), and currently
     holds an 80% interest in SHAPE.  SHAPE conducts research and
     development of energy storage technology.  Indianapolis
     Campus Energy, Inc. (ICE) was formed in 1993 to construct,
     own and operate energy systems on campus locations such as
     industrial complexes or college campuses.
          
          Property and Land Company, Inc., MACR, MAER, CTEC, CDCC,
     SHAPE and ICE are not "public utility companies" as defined in the
     Act.  
          
          Future diversification opportunities for investment
     into other business are continually being reviewed, but no
     further acquisition has been made as of the date hereof.  In
     carrying out its diversification activities, claimant does
     not intend to take any action which will impair its primary
     commitment to provide adequate public utility service to
     customers of IPL.

     2.  A brief description of the properties of claimant and each of
its subsidiary public utility companies used for the generation,
transmission, and distribution of electric energy for sale, indicating

          At the date of the filing of this Statement the

     shares of Common Stock of IPL and MACR.

          The properties of IPL, claimant's only public utility
     subsidiary, used for the generation, transmission and
     distribution of electric energy for sale are located wholly
     within the State of Indiana and consist of the following:
     Generating Plants:

          IPL owns and operates five primarily coal-fired
     generating plants, three of which are used for total electric

     and steam generation.  The generating plants have a total
     gross nameplate rating of 3,035 MW, a winter capability of
     3,046 MW and a summer capability of 2,968 MW.  All figures

     and Stout Plants and three diesel units at Petersburg Plant, all
     added in 1967.

     C.C. Perry Section W Plant, in the City of Indianapolis, with 11 MW

     miles of conduit and 5,276 wire miles of conductor.

     74 bulk power substations and 76 distribution substations.


          None of the transmission lines is positioned or located
     to deliver or receive electric energy at the borders of the
     State of Indiana.
