Got a letter or a bill from Indra? Start here
Many people land here after a letter or bill from Indra. First answer one question: did you agree to switch? Your answer picks your path.
You have 3 business days to cancel after you get Indra's written terms. Call Indra at (888) 504-6372 or write to it.
Tell Indra and your utility that you never agreed. Ask to be switched back. The PUC calls this slamming.
If you did not agree to the switch
- 1Check who supplies you.
Call your utility and ask who your electric supplier is. Ask about gas too, because Indra sells both.
- 2Tell Indra you did not agree.
Call (888) 504-6372. Ask for proof that you signed up. Write down the date, the time and the name of the person.
- 3Tell your utility too.
Say your supplier was changed without your consent. Under PUC rules, whichever company you tell must treat it as a dispute and look into it.
- 4Ask to be switched back.
The rule says it costs you nothing. The company that made the switch pays the switch-back charges.
- 5Move fast.
File the dispute within two billing periods after you should have known of the switch. If it is found that you did not agree, you do not owe Indra's supply charges for that time. Any money you paid comes back within 30 days. Delivery charges still apply.
- 6File a PUC complaint if it is not fixed.
It is free. Use the PUC complaint page or call 1-800-692-7380. The PUC then decides whether you owe anything.
- 7Get a second voice.
The Office of Consumer Advocate speaks up for utility customers. Its number is (800) 684-6560.
The PUC's 2024 report counted 569 residential electric slamming complaints across all suppliers. It says it has "zero tolerance" for slamming.
What does Indra's low first price cost over a year?
The check below does two jobs. It looks for an Indra home plan on PA Power Switch today. Then it adds up a year at a low first price that turns variable.
This is an estimate of the supply price only. It leaves out delivery charges, taxes and any monthly fee. Indra changes its prices, so the ones filled in carry the date they were read.
A worked example in PPL's area
Take a home that uses 1,000 kWh a month in PPL's area. Indra's first price in October 2026 was 12.49¢ for up to two months. Its variable price in September 2026 was 25.36¢. Here is the year, if that variable price stays put.
| What you pay | Months | Cents per kWh | Cost |
|---|---|---|---|
| Indra's first price | 2 | 12.49 | $249.80 |
| Indra's variable price | 10 | 25.36 | $2,536.00 |
| Indra, 12 months | 12 | 23.2 average | $2,785.80 |
| PPL's price to compare, 12 months | 12 | 13.079 | $1,569.48 |
That is about $1,216 more than the price to compare, or 77% more. The low first price saved about $12 in two months. The higher price took that back in about three days. Indra can change its variable price every month, so a real year could cost more or less.
What does Indra charge after the first month?
Indra's low first price is for new customers only. Its own page says the price may change every billing cycle after the first one. It also says there is no cap and no limit on how much it can change from one bill to the next. Here is what Indra posts for each area it lists.
| Utility | First price, Oct 2026 | 12-month web plan, Oct 2026 | Variable, Sept 2026 | Price to compare now |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| PPL | 12.49 | 19.99 to 20.99 | 25.36 | 13.079 |
| PECO | 11.49 | 17.49 to 18.49 | 23.78 | 11.759 |
| Duquesne Light | 13.49 | 19.49 to 20.49 | 26.05 | 14.140 |
| Met-Ed | 13.49 | 19.99 to 20.99 | 25.54 | 13.951 |
| Penelec | 12.49 | 19.99 to 20.99 | 26.12 | 13.142 |
| West Penn | 11.49 | 18.99 to 19.99 | 24.73 | 12.075 |
We read Indra's prices on its own Pennsylvania pages on October 19, 2026. The last column is each utility's price to compare now. In all six areas the first price sits a little under it. The 12-month and variable prices sit well above it.
Indra's prices come from its own pages, read October 19, 2026.
A variable price can fall as well as rise. Indra's PPL price was 32.073¢ each month from October 2024 to September 2025. It fell to 26.536¢ in October 2025. It was 25.36¢ each month from March to September 2026.
Indra also tells the U.S. Energy Information Administration what it earns from home customers. For 2025 that came to 19.96¢ per kWh. All Pennsylvania power marketers together averaged 12.91¢.
Form EIA-861. Our math is home revenue divided by home sales. Each company reports its own figures, and they mix every plan and any fees.
Those figures mix every plan, so they do not show one plan's price. They do point the same way as the price list.
PA Power Switch is the PUC's free shopping site. On October 16 and 20, 2026 it listed no Indra home plan for any Pennsylvania utility. The tool above reads a file that our robot refreshes from PA Power Switch each day. To see what other suppliers charge, read our PA Power Switch guide.
What does Indra's contract say?
Indra sells two main home plans in the pages we read. One has a low first price that turns variable. The other is a 12-month fixed web plan. These are the terms that cost people money.
The price after the first bill
Indra's disclosure page says the first price is valid for the first billing period after you enroll. Its plan finder lists two months. Check the number in your own contract. After that, Indra sets the price each month. It says it bases the price on wholesale market prices, its costs and "prevailing business considerations and market conditions."
State rules say a variable-price supplier must give you a phone number and web address for its last 24 months of average billed prices (§ 54.5). Indra posts that history on its website.
How to cancel
Call Indra at (888) 504-6372, write to 11740 Katy Freeway, Suite 1700, Houston, TX 77079, or email CustomerCare@IndraEnergy.com. Indra's FAQ says: "Call us to cancel or schedule a move-out. If your plan has an early termination fee, we'll review your terms with you first."
The 12-month web contract we read on October 16, 2026 shows an early termination fee of $0.00. Indra's fixed-price page says there are no early termination fees. Its FAQ says some plans may have one. Read the fee line in your own contract.
Disputes
The contract we read sends disputes to final, binding arbitration on an individual basis, not as a class. It keeps your right to file a complaint with the state regulator. We found no way to opt out.
Renewal notices
For a fixed-term plan, state rules require two notices before it ends. The first comes 45 to 60 days before. The second comes at least 30 days before (§ 54.10). You can leave without a fee after the second notice arrives. If you do nothing, the plan moves to a month-to-month contract, or to a new one that you can cancel at any time with no fee.
Is Indra Energy legit, and who owns it?
Yes, it is a licensed supplier. A license means the PUC let it sell. It does not rate its prices or its record.
The PUC approved the license on December 17, 2009. The order was entered December 21, 2009. It was for Palmco Power LLC, now Palmco Power PA, LLC. The order says Palmco gave a $250,000 surety bond. The license lists the Indra Energy name from July 17, 2018. Indra also holds a PUC gas license in the name of Palmco Energy PA LLC.
Who owns it? A July 2022 filing with the PUC says Indra is a stand-alone company, not a subsidiary. Four people own it, 25% each. The same owners also own energy companies in other states. In July 2025 Indra's mailing address on file with the PUC moved from Philadelphia to Houston, Texas.
We found no public audited financial statements for Indra, and no bill-help program run by Indra. Both count in the time-in-business score.
How many complaints has Indra had at the PUC?
The PUC counts the complaints that reach its Bureau of Consumer Services each year. In 2024 it counted 63 about Indra's electric business. In 54 of them Indra was the main company. In the other 9 it was the second company named.
PUC yearly reports, main and second company counts together. 2017 is listed under the old name, Palmco Power PA.
For 2024, 63 complaints and 7,072 home customers make 89.08 complaints per 10,000 homes. The home count comes from the EIA. The rate is our math, not the PUC's. The PUC warns that "a high number of complaints may occur for a supplier with a higher number of customers but isn't necessarily indicative of a non-compliance issue."
Indra grew in that time. The EIA shows 4,419 home customers in 2023, 7,072 in 2024 and 11,709 in 2025. The PUC had not yet published its 2025 report in October 2026.
The report does not say what Indra's 63 complaints were about. For all small electric companies and suppliers together, it says most 2024 complaints were about slamming and billing disputes. Those two made up 84% of them.
The BBB gives Indra a B- and does not accredit it. On October 19, 2026 the BBB profile listed 120 complaints filed against Indra. It gave two reasons for the grade, one of them that the business "has failed to resolve underlying cause(s) of a pattern of complaints." A BBB complaint is a customer's claim, not a finding.
Has Indra been fined?
Yes. The PUC fined Indra $2,000 in September 2025. In 2022 Indra also paid $185,900 under an agreement with the Pennsylvania Attorney General. Our score counts only the PUC fine. The agreement is shown here, and Indra denies its allegations.
- June 2022Indra signs an agreement with the Pennsylvania Attorney General over phone sales. It pays $185,900 and denies the allegations.
- July 2023A door-to-door agent for an Indra vendor signs up a customer for electric and gas supply without consent.
- August 11, 2025A PUC Special Agent sustains the customer's complaint and sets a $2,000 fine.
- September 15, 2025The PUC enters its Final Order. The fine stands.
- September 18, 2025The payment of the fine is filed.
The PUC fine, in plain words
A customer filed a formal complaint in January 2024. The PUC found that Indra moved the customer's electric and gas supply to Indra without consent. The switches occured on July 11 and July 17, 2023. The customer called to cancel on July 27, 2023. All the money paid to Indra was credited back and the customer returned to PECO.
A PUC Special Agent fined Indra $2,000 under 52 Pa. Code § 54.42(9). That is $1,000 for each of the two accounts. The Final Order was entered on September 15, 2025. The PUC's docket number is F-2024-3046076.
- Only one customer's complaint was before the Special Agent. The customer caught the switch early and was repaid in full.
- Indra told the vendor the agent could not be part of its program. It had him put on a do-not-hire list.
- Indra told the PUC it added welcome calls, a fraud check of every email and phone number, an anti-spoofing check and a GPS block. It was adding a national database check.
- The Special Agent found the sales agent "intentionally falsified" the sign-up. He signed up 145 customers in 47 days.
- Indra had not contacted the other 142 customers to check their sign-ups. Only 8 of the 145 were still with Indra. The Special Agent called that "concerning" and said it would affect the fine.
- The decision says the PUC has "zero tolerance" for unauthorized switches.
The Attorney General agreement
In June 2022 Indra signed an Assurance of Voluntary Compliance with the Pennsylvania Attorney General. The Attorney General alleged that Indra, or vendors acting for it, called numbers on the state's Do Not Call list. It also alleged repeated calls, prerecorded messages and misleading offers of energy savings and rebates. One prerecorded message, it alleged, said it was an apology from the customer's electric company.
Indra paid $185,900. That was $160,000 in civil penalties, $25,000 for the Attorney General's costs and $900 in refunds to nine people who had complained. Indra "expressly denies the allegations" and signed "solely for the purpose of avoiding costly and protracted litigation." The agreement says it is not "an admission of violation for any purpose."
Other states: reported, not scored
Indra's owners also run companies in other states. Regulators there have reported the actions below. Our Pennsylvania score does not count them, and they are not findings by the PUC.
| Where | When | What the state reported |
|---|---|---|
| Illinois | December 18, 2024 | The Attorney General announced a $3.5 million settlement with Palmco Power IL, which operates as Indra Energy. It resolved allegations of deceptive sales. The release does not say whether Indra admitted or denied them. |
| Massachusetts | Opened May 4, 2020 | The DPU listed an investigation of "problematic telemarketing practices" at Palmco Power MA, LLC d/b/a Indra Energy. The listed result was a temporary ban on telemarketing to homes, refunds to 23 customers and a $460,000 settlement payment. |
| New Jersey | June 23, 2016 | The state announced a $5.28 million settlement of its allegations of deceptive sales by Palmco Power NJ, LLC and Palmco Energy NJ, LLC. Indra's 2022 PUC filing lists both among the companies its owners also own. |
The Illinois complaint alleged false claims of a link to the utility, an offer of free tablets, calls without consent and misstated costs. A settlement ends a case. It does not decide who was right.
We also searched the PUC's filings from 2016 to October 2026 for enforcement complaints and fine payments under Indra's names. We found the one fine payment above and no enforcement complaint. We read that record on October 16, 2026.
How does Indra sign people up?
Indra sells on its website, by phone and at the door. The PUC case and the Attorney General agreement above both involved vendors that sold for Indra. PUC rules set what any seller must do.
- A door-to-door agent must show the supplier's badge and say who they work for.
- The agent must say they do not work for your utility. A caller must say it too.
- Door-to-door sales end at 7 p.m. from October 1 to March 31, and at 8 p.m. from April 1 to September 30. They start at 9 a.m.
- After a sale the agent must give you copies of what you signed. The agent must also explain how the sale is checked and that you can cancel within 3 business days.
- The agent must leave when you ask.
- A caller may not say or suggest that you must pick a supplier.
To stop the knocks, tell the agent to leave. Then ask Indra to put you on its no-door-to-door list. A supplier must do that within 2 business days (§ 111.9). To stop the calls, ask Indra to stop and add your number to the state's Do Not Call list at 1-888-777-3406. Never sign what you have not read.
How did Indra get its score?
Our score adds six categories. Each has a fixed number of points. The method is the same for every Pennsylvania supplier we score, and the sources are listed at the bottom. Read how we score.
| Category | Points | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| Complaints to the state | 5 / 25 | The PUC's 2024 report lists 63 complaints about Indra's electric business. The EIA shows 7,072 home customers in 2024. That is 89.08 per 10,000 homes, in the top band (27 or more). |
| BBB rating | 3 / 5 | B- on the BBB profile, read October 16 and 19, 2026. Indra is not BBB accredited. |
| Fines and penalties | 16 / 20 | One penalty is counted: the PUC's $2,000 fine entered September 15, 2025. The June 2022 Attorney General agreement ($185,900, which Indra denies) is shown in the fines section but is not in these points. |
| Contract fairness | 16 / 20 | The 12-month web plan has a $0 cancel fee. Its contract sends disputes to binding arbitration on an individual basis, with no opt-out found. |
| Price | 0 / 20 | The 12-month web plan costs 19.99¢ in PPL's area and 17.49¢ in PECO's, read October 16, 2026. That is about 151% of the frozen prices to compare used for every Pennsylvania score, so it earns no points. |
| Time in business | 4 / 10 | Licensed December 21, 2009. No bill-help program and no public audited financials found. |
How does Indra compare with other suppliers?
The same six-part score gives other suppliers very different results. The best have low complaint rates, plain contracts and prices near the price to compare.
| Supplier | Score (points out of 100) | Complaints per 10,000 homes | BBB rating |
|---|---|---|---|
| AEP Energy | 90 | 2.34 | A+ |
| CleanChoice Energy | 78 | 12.02 | A+ |
| Residents Energy | 43 | 26.82 | B |
| Nordic Energy Services | 46 | 54.43 | B |
| Indra Energy | 44 | 89.08 | B- |
Complaint rates use the PUC's 2024 report and the EIA home counts. BBB grades were read on October 16, 2026. See every supplier in our Pennsylvania ranking.
Questions, answered
Is Indra Energy legit?
Yes, Indra Energy is a licensed Pennsylvania electricity supplier. The PUC approved its license in December 2009. It scores 44 out of 100 (Poor) on our public-records scorecard, mostly because of its complaint rate and its prices. A license does not mean a good price, so check the offer first.
Why is Indra Energy on my electric bill?
Indra is your electric supplier, so someone enrolled your account with it. You may have agreed by phone, on the web or at the door. If you did not agree, tell Indra and your utility today. State rules protect you if you report it fast.
What can I do if Indra switched me without permission?
Tell Indra and your utility that you did not agree, and ask to be switched back. That costs you nothing. If you report it within two billing periods and the PUC finds you did not agree, you owe nothing for Indra's supply charges for that time.
How do I cancel Indra Energy?
Call Indra at (888) 504-6372 or write to it. If you signed up in the last 3 business days since getting its written terms, you can cancel with no fee. After that, read the fee line in your contract. The 12-month web plan we read shows $0.
How do I stop Indra's calls and door knocks?
Ask Indra to stop, and add your number to Pennsylvania's Do Not Call list at 1-888-777-3406. For door knocks, tell the agent to leave. A supplier must honor a no-door-to-door request within 2 business days. You can also report problems to the Attorney General.
What does Indra charge after the first month?
After one or two months Indra charges a variable price that can change every billing cycle, with no cap. In September 2026 it was 25.36¢ per kWh in PPL's area and 23.78¢ in PECO's area. Indra read those from its own price history page.
Is Indra cheaper than my utility?
Not over a full year, on the prices we read. The first price sits a little under the price to compare for one or two months. After that, Indra's posted prices are well above it. The tool on this page adds up a year for your home.
Is Indra Energy on PA Power Switch?
Not for home plans. On October 16 and 20, 2026, PA Power Switch listed no Indra home plan for any Pennsylvania utility. Indra posts its prices on its own site. PA Power Switch is the PUC's free shopping site, so look there before you sign anything.
Who owns Indra Energy?
Indra Energy is a trade name of Palmco Power PA, LLC, a private company. A 2022 PUC filing says it is not a subsidiary and has four owners with 25% each. The name Indra Energy has been on its PUC license since July 2018.
What is Indra Energy's BBB rating?
Indra has a B- from the BBB and is not BBB accredited. On October 19, 2026 the BBB profile listed 120 complaints filed against it. A BBB complaint is a customer's claim, not a finding of fault, so read the details before you decide.
How many complaints has Indra Energy had?
The PUC's 2024 report counts 63 complaints about Indra's electric business. With 7,072 home customers that year, that is 89.08 per 10,000 homes. A complaint count is not a finding of fault, and the report does not say what each complaint was about.
Has Indra Energy been fined?
Yes. The PUC fined Indra $2,000 in September 2025 for switching a customer without consent. In 2022 Indra also paid $185,900 under an agreement with the Pennsylvania Attorney General. Indra denied the allegations in that agreement, which says it is not an admission of any violation.
