                  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, and Fort Ben Energy

     Management Corp., an Indiana corporation, for

     purposes of managing, operating and maintaining

     certain steam and chilled water production

     facilities and related equipment and distribution

     lines.

          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.  As of

     March, 1997, CTEC and CDCC became wholly owned

     subsidiaries of MACR and not MAER.

          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's operations became inactive during

     1998.  Indianapolis Campus Energy, Inc. (ICE) was

     formed in 1993 to construct, own and operate a

     chilled water production facility to provide air

     conditioning for the Eli Lilly and Company

     Technology Center industrial campus.

          Property and Land Company, Inc., IPL Funding

     Corporation, Fort Ben Energy Management Corp., 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 the location of principal
generating plants, transmission lines, and electric
distribution facilities, including all such properties which
are outside the State of Indiana and all transmission lines

such State:

          At the date of the filing of this Statement

     described in the State of Indiana or elsewhere,

     being solely a holding company owning cash and all

     of the issued and outstanding shares of Common

          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 three primarily coal-
     fired generating plants that are used for electric
     generation.  IPL operates one coal and gas-fired

     and steam generation.  The generating plants have
     a total gross nameplate rating of 3,024 MW, a
     winter capability of 3,036 MW and a summer
     capability of 2,956 MW.  All figures are net of

     one diesel unit each at Pritchard and Stout Plants and
     three diesel units at Petersburg Plant, all added in
     1967.  Each diesel unit has a nameplate rating of 3 MW.


     Combination Electric and Steam Station:

     C.C. Perry Section K Plant, in the City of
     Indianapolis, with 20 MW nameplate rating (net winter
     capability 20 MW, summer 19 MW) for electric and a
     gross capacity of 1,990 M/lbs. per hour for steam.

     Transmission and Distribution System Properties:

          IPL's transmission system located entirely
     within the State of Indiana includes 457 circuit
     miles of 345,000 volt lines, 359 circuit miles of
     138,000 volt lines and 268 miles of 34,500 volt

     of conductor.  Underground street lighting
     facilities include 108 miles of conduit and 726
     wire miles of conductor.  The system also has 73
     bulk power substations and 68 distribution
     substations.
