Accounting Policies [Abstract] | |
Overview and Summary Of Significant Accounting Policies | 1. OVERVIEW AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES IPALCO is a holding company incorporated under the laws of the state of Indiana. IPALCO is owned by AES U.S. Investments (82.35%) and CDPQ (17.65%). AES U.S. Investments is owned by AES U.S. Holdings, LLC (85%) and CDPQ (15%). IPALCO owns all of the outstanding common stock of IPL. Substantially all of IPALCOās business consists of generating, transmitting, distributing and selling of electric energy conducted through its principal subsidiary, IPL. IPL was incorporated under the laws of the state of Indiana in 1926. IPL has approximately 510,000 retail customers in the city of Indianapolis and neighboring cities, towns and communities, and adjacent rural areas all within the state of Indiana, with the most distant point being approximately forty miles from Indianapolis. IPL has an exclusive right to provide electric service to those customers. IPL owns and operates four generating stations, all within the state of Indiana. IPLās largest generating station, Petersburg, is coal-fired. The second largest station, Harding Street, uses natural gas and fuel oil to power combustion turbines. In addition, IPL operates a 20 MW battery energy storage unit at this location, which provides frequency response. The third station, Eagle Valley, is a CCGT natural gas plant. The fourth station, Georgetown, is a small peaking station that uses natural gas to power combustion turbines. As of September 30, 2020, IPLās net electric generation capacity for winter is 3,705 MW and net summer capacity is 3,560 MW. Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Financial Statements include the accounts of IPALCO, IPL and Mid-America Capital Resources, Inc., a non-regulated wholly-owned subsidiary of IPALCO. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The accompanying Financial Statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual fiscal reporting periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation have been included. The electric utility business is affected by seasonal weather patterns throughout the year and, therefore, the operating revenues and associated operating expenses are not generated evenly by month during the year. These unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in IPALCOās 2019 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction therewith. Use of Management Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may also be affected by the estimates and assumptions that management is required to make. Actual results may differ from those estimates. Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash The following table provides a summary of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash amounts as shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows: September 30, December 31, 2020 2019 (In Thousands) Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash Cash and cash equivalents $ 38,815 $ 48,152 Restricted cash 20,513 400 Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash $ 59,328 $ 48,552 Accounts Receivable The following table summarizes our accounts receivable balances at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: September 30, December 31, 2020 2019 (In Thousands) Accounts receivable, net Customer receivables $ 97,018 $ 90,747 Unbilled revenue 54,829 65,822 Amounts due from related parties 5,645 2,717 Other 4,588 2,725 Allowance for credit losses (3,520) (921) Total accounts receivable, net $ 158,560 $ 161,090 The following table is a rollforward of our allowance for credit losses related to the accounts receivable balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in Thousands): Beginning Allowance Balance at January 1, 2020 Current Period Provision Write-offs Charged Against Allowances Recoveries Collected Ending Allowance Balance at Allowance for credit losses $ 921 $ 4,365 $ (5,124) $ 3,358 $ 3,520 The allowance for credit losses primarily relates to utility customer receivables, including unbilled amounts. Expected credit loss estimates are developed by disaggregating customers into those with similar credit risk characteristics and using historical credit loss experience. In addition, we also consider how current and future economic conditions are expected to impact collectability, as applicable, including the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our receivable balance as of September 30, 2020. Amounts are written off when reasonable collections efforts have been exhausted. An Executive Order issued by the Governor of Indiana on March 19, 2020 and extended by the IURC prohibited electric utilities, including us, from discontinuing electric utility service to customers through August 14, 2020 due to the economic impacts of COVID-19. This order along with the economic impacts of COVID-19 has resulted in an increase in past due customer receivable balances, and thus the current period provision and the allowance for credit losses has increased during 2020. Please see additional discussion in Note 2, " Regulatory Matters - IURC COVID-19 Ordersā a nd Note 12, " Risks and Uncertainties - COVID-19 Pandemic ."

Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or did not have a material impact on the Companyās Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Adopted ASU Number and Name Description Date of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statements upon adoption 2016-13, 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, 2020-03, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments See discussion of the ASU below. January 1, 2020 See impact upon adoption of the standard below. ASC 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and its subsequent corresponding updates ("ASC 326"). The new standard updates the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost, known as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities are required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally results in the earlier recognition of an allowance for credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities measure credit losses as it was done under previous GAAP, except that unrealized losses due to credit-related factors are now recognized as an allowance on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings in the income statement. The Company applied the modified retrospective method of adoption for ASC 326. Under this transition method, the Company applied the transition provisions starting at the date of adoption. The CECL model primarily impacts the calculation of the Company's expected credit losses in gross customer trade accounts receivable. The adoption of ASC 326 and the application of CECL on our trade accounts receivable did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements. New Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material impact on the Companyās Financial Statements once adopted. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have no material impact on the Companyās Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective ASU Number and Name Description Date of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statements upon adoption 2020-04, Reference Rate Form (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference to LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued by reference rate reform. This standard is effective for a limited period of time (March 12, 2020 - December 21, 2022). March 12, 2020 - December 31, 2022 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on the Financial Statements. |

Regulatory Matters | 2. REGULATORY MATTERS TDSIC On March 4, 2020, the IURC issued an order approving the projects in a seven-year TDSIC Plan for eligible transmission, distribution and storage system improvements totaling $1.2 billion from 2020 through 2027. On June 18, 2020, IPL filed its first annual TDSIC rate adjustment for a return on and of investments through March 31, 2020. On October 14, 2020, the IURC issued an order approving this TDSIC rate adjustment, which will be reflected in rates effective November 2020. FAC and Authorized Annual Jurisdictional Net Operating Income As discussed in Note 2, "Regulatory Matters" of IPALCO's 2019 Form 10-K, in each of the last three calendar years IPL has reported earnings in excess of the authorized level for each of the four quarterly reporting periods in those years, however IPL was not required to reduce its fuel cost recovery because of its Cumulative Deficiencies. During 2020, IPLās Cumulative Deficiencies were exhausted and thus IPL was required to accrue a regulatory liability of $7.3 million as of September 30, 2020. This is recorded within " Regulatory liabilities, current " on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and as a reduction to revenue on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. IURC COVID-19 Orders In its June 29, 2020 order, the IURC extended the disconnection moratorium for IURC-jurisdictional utilities through August 14, 2020, which has lapsed. Additionally, the IURC authorized Indiana utilities to use regulatory accounting for any impacts associated with prohibiting utility disconnections, waiver or exclusion of certain utility fees (i.e., late fees, convenience fees, deposits, and reconnection fees), and also required utilities to use expanded payment arrangements to aid customers. The IURC also authorized regulatory accounting treatment for COVID-19 related uncollectible and incremental bad debt expense. On August 12, 2020, the IURC required all jurisdictional utilities to continue offering extended payment arrangements for a minimum of six months to all customers for an additional 60 days, until October 12, 2020, which the IURC again extended through December 31, 2020 for residential customers on October 27, 2020. The IURC also continued to suspend the collection of certain utility fees (late fees, deposits, and disconnection/reconnection fees) from residential customers for an additional 60 days, until October 12, 2020, which has lapsed. Utilities were allowed to resume charging convenience fees as set forth in the rate and charges established in their Commission-approved tariffs. As a result of these orders, IPL has recorded a $5.4 million regulatory asset as of September 30, 2020. Additionally, IPL implemented and extended flexible payment assistance plans to customers during the third quarter of 2020. Phase Two of the IURC investigation is expected to focus on longer-term issues related to COVID-19. Among other things, the issues may include consideration of appropriate methodology to review the reasonableness, necessity, and prudency of any COVID-19-related cost recovery requests in future rate cases.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] | |
Fair Value Measurements | FAIR VALUE The fair value of financial assets and liabilities approximate their reported carrying amounts. The estimated fair values of the Companyās assets and liabilities have been determined using available market information. As these amounts are estimates and based on hypothetical transactions to sell assets or transfer liabilities, the use of different market assumptions and/or estimation methodologies may have a material effect on the estimated fair value amounts. For further information on our valuation techniques and policies, see Note 4, " Fair Value" to IPALCOās 2019 Form 10-K. Financial Assets VEBA Assets IPALCO has VEBA investments that are to be used to fund certain employee postretirement health care benefit plans. These assets are primarily comprised of open-ended mutual funds, which are valued using the net assets value per unit. These investments are recorded at fair value within " Other non-current assets " on the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and classified as equity securities. All changes to fair value on the VEBA investments are included in income in the period that the changes occur. These changes to fair value were not material for the periods covered by this report. Any unrealized gains or losses are recorded in " Other income / (expense), net " on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. FTRs In connection with IPLās participation in MISO, in the second quarter of each year IPL is granted financial instruments that can be converted into cash or FTRs based on IPLās forecasted peak load for the period. FTRs are used in the MISO market to hedge IPLās exposure to congestion charges, which result from constraints on the transmission system. IPLās FTRs are valued at the cleared auction prices for FTRs in MISOās annual auction. Because of the infrequent nature of this valuation, the fair value assigned to the FTRs is considered a Level 3 input under the fair value hierarchy required by ASC 820. An offsetting regulatory liability has been recorded as these revenues or costs will be flowed through to customers through the FAC. As such, there is no impact on our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Financial Liabilities Interest Rate Hedges In March 2019, we entered into forward interest rate hedges, which were amended in April 2020. The interest rate hedges have a combined notional amount of $400.0 million. All changes in the market value of the interest rate hedges are recorded in AOCL. See also Note 4, " Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities - Cash Flow Hedges " for further information. Recurring Fair Value Measurements The fair value of assets and liabilities at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019 measured on a recurring basis and the respective category within the fair value hierarchy for IPALCO was determined as follows: Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value at September 30, 2020 Based on quoted market prices in active markets Other observable inputs Unobservable inputs (In Thousands) Financial assets: VEBA investments: Money market funds $ 20 $ 20 $ ā $ ā Mutual funds 3,069 ā 3,069 ā Total VEBA investments 3,089 20 3,069 ā Financial transmission rights 1,132 ā ā 1,132 Total financial assets measured at fair value $ 4,221 $ 20 $ 3,069 $ 1,132 Financial liabilities: Interest rate hedges $ 75,824 $ ā $ 75,824 $ ā Total financial liabilities measured at fair value $ 75,824 $ ā $ 75,824 $ ā Assets and Liabilities at Fair Value Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Fair value at December 31, 2019 Based on quoted market prices in active markets Other observable inputs Unobservable inputs (In Thousands) Financial assets: VEBA investments: Money market funds $ 25 $ 25 $ ā $ ā Mutual funds 2,854 ā 2,854 ā Total VEBA investments 2,879 25 2,854 ā Financial transmission rights 864 ā ā 864 Total financial assets measured at fair value $ 3,743 $ 25 $ 2,854 $ 864 Financial liabilities: Interest rate hedges $ 26,560 $ ā $ 26,560 $ ā Total financial liabilities measured at fair value $ 26,560 $ ā $ 26,560 $ ā Financial Instruments not Measured at Fair Value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets Debt The fair value of our outstanding fixed-rate debt has been determined on the basis of the quoted market prices of the specific securities issued and outstanding. In certain circumstances, the market for such securities was inactive and therefore the valuation was adjusted to consider changes in market spreads for similar securities. Accordingly, the purpose of this disclosure is not to approximate the value on the basis of how the debt might be refinanced. The following table shows the face value and the fair value of fixed-rate and variable-rate indebtedness (Level 2) for the periods ending: September 30, 2020 December 31, 2019 Face Value Fair Value Face Value Fair Value (In Thousands) Fixed-rate $ 2,593,800 $ 3,187,023 $ 2,523,800 $ 2,876,140 Variable-rate 140,000 140,000 155,000 155,000 Total indebtedness $ 2,733,800 $ 3,327,023 $ 2,678,800 $ 3,031,140 The difference between the face value and the carrying value of this indebtedness consists of the following: ā¢ unamortized deferred financing costs of $25.1 million and $20.7 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively; and ā¢ unamortized discounts of $6.7 million and $6.5 million at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Text Block] | DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES For further information on the Companyās derivative and hedge accounting policies, see Note 1, " Overview and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies - Financial Derivatives " and Note 5, " Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities " to IPALCOās 2019 Form 10-K. At September 30, 2020 , IPL's outstanding derivative instruments were as follows: Commodity Accounting Treatment (a) Unit Purchases Sales Net Purchases/(Sales) Interest rate hedges Designated USD $ 400,000 $ ā $ 400,000 FTRs Not Designated MWh 5,135 ā 5,135 (a) Refers to whether the derivative instruments have been designated as a cash flow hedge. Cash Flow Hedges As part of our risk management processes, we identify the relationships between hedging instruments and hedged items, as well as the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking various hedge transactions. The fair values of cash flow hedges determined by current public market prices will continue to fluctuate with changes in market prices up to contract expiration. With the adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities effective January 1, 2019, we are no longer required to calculate effectiveness and thus the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument is now recorded in other comprehensive income and amounts deferred are reclassified to earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item in the period in which it settles. In March 2019, IPALCO entered into three forward interest rate swaps to hedge the interest rate risk associated with refinancing the IPALCO 2020 maturities. The three interest rate swaps had a combined notional amount of $400.0 million. In April 2020, we de-designated the swaps as cash flow hedges and froze the AOCL of $72.3 million at the date of de-designation. The interest rate swaps were then amended and re-designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the interest rate risk associated with refinancing the 2024 IPALCO Notes. The amended interest rate swaps have a combined notional amount of $400.0 million and will be settled when the 2024 IPALCO Notes are refinanced. The $72.3 million of AOCL associated with the interest rate swaps through the date of the amendment will be amortized out of AOCL into interest expense over the remaining life of the 2030 IPALCO Notes, while any changes in fair value associated with the amended interest rate swaps will be recognized in AOCL going forward. The following tables provide information on gains or losses recognized in AOCL for the cash flow hedges for the periods indicated: Interest Rate Hedges for the Three Months Ended September 30, $ in thousands (net of tax) 2020 2019 Beginning accumulated derivative loss in AOCL $ (58,745) $ (17,188) Net gains / (losses) associated with current period hedging transactions 3,707 (12,534) Net losses reclassified to interest expense, net of tax 1,344 ā Ending accumulated derivative loss in AOCL $ (53,694) $ (29,722) Interest Rate Hedges for the Nine Months Ended September 30, $ in thousands (net of tax) 2020 2019 Beginning accumulated derivative loss in AOCL $ (19,750) $ ā Net losses associated with current period hedging transactions (36,632) (29,722) Net losses reclassified to interest expense, net of tax 2,688 ā Ending accumulated derivative loss in AOCL $ (53,694) $ (29,722) Loss expected to be reclassified to earnings in the next twelve months $ (5,375) Maximum length of time that we are hedging our exposure to variability in future cash flows related to forecasted transactions (in months) 48 Derivatives Not Designated as Hedge FTRs do not qualify for hedge accounting or the normal purchases and sales exceptions under ASC 815. Accordingly, such contracts are recorded at fair value when acquired and subsequently amortized over the annual period as they are used. FTRs are initially recorded at fair value using the income approach. Certain qualifying derivative instruments have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts, as provided under GAAP. Derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales under GAAP are not subject to hedge or mark to market accounting and are recognized in the consolidated statements of operations on an accrual basis. When applicable, IPALCO has elected not to offset derivative assets and liabilities and not to offset net derivative positions against the right to reclaim cash collateral pledged (an asset) or the obligation to return cash collateral received (a liability) under derivative agreements. As of September 30, 2020, IPALCO did not have any offsetting positions.

(2) Unsecured notes issued to the Indiana Finance Authority by IPL to facilitate the loan of proceeds from various tax-exempt notes issued by the Indiana Finance Authority. The notes have a final maturity date of December 2038, but are subject to a mandatory put in December 2020. IPL First Mortgage Bonds IPL has $95 million of 3.875% IPL first mortgage bonds that are due August 1, 2021. Management plans to refinance these first mortgage bonds with new debt. In the event that we are unable to refinance these first mortgage bonds on acceptable terms, IPL has available borrowing capacity on its revolving credit facility that could be used to satisfy the obligation. IPL Unsecured Notes In December 2015, the Indiana Finance Authority issued on behalf of IPL an aggregate principal amount of $90 million of Environmental Facilities Refunding Revenue Notes due December 2038 (Indianapolis Power & Light Company Project). These unsecured notes were issued in two series: $30 million Series 2015A notes and $60 million 2015B notes. These notes were initially purchased by a syndication of banks who will hold the notes until the mandatory put date of December 22, 2020. IPL has classified its outstanding $90 million aggregate principal amount of these unsecured notes as short-term indebtedness as they are due December 2020. Management plans to refinance these unsecured notes with new debt. In the event that we are unable to refinance these unsecured notes on acceptable terms, IPL has available borrowing capacity on its revolving credit facility that could be used to satisfy the obligation. IPALCOās Senior Secured Notes and Term Loan In April 2020, IPALCO completed the sale of the $475 million aggregate principal amount of 4.25% 2030 IPALCO Notes pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The 2030 IPALCO Notes were issued pursuant to an Indenture dated April 14, 2020, by and between IPALCO and U.S. Bank, National Association, as trustee. The 2030 IPALCO Notes were priced to the public at 99.909% of the principal amount. Net proceeds to IPALCO were approximately $468.6 million after deducting transaction costs and estimated offering expenses. We used the net proceeds from this offering to retire the $65 million Term Loan on April 14, 2020. The remaining net proceeds, together with cash on hand, were used to redeem the 2020 IPALCO Notes on May 14, 2020, and to pay certain related fees, expenses and make-whole premiums. A loss on early extinguishment of debt of $2.4 million for the 2020 IPALCO Notes is included as a separate line item within " Other Income/(Expense), Net " in the accompanying Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. The 2030 IPALCO Notes are secured by IPALCOās pledge of all of the outstanding common stock of IPL. The lien on the pledged shares is shared equally and ratably with IPALCOās existing senior secured notes. IPALCO has also agreed to register the 2030 IPALCO Notes under the Securities Act by filing an exchange offer registration statement or, under specified circumstances, a shelf registration statement with the SEC pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated April 14, 2020.

Income Taxes | INCOME TAXES Effective Tax Rate IPALCOās effective combined state and federal income tax rate was 21.4% and 21.4% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively, as compared to 21.2% and 21.2% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. These rates are lower than the combined federal and state statutory rate of 25.3% primarily due to the flowthrough of the net tax benefit related to the reversal of excess deferred taxes of IPL, which was partially offset by the net tax expense related to the amortization of allowance for equity funds used during construction. |

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Commitments And Contingencies | COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES Legal Loss Contingencies IPALCO and IPL are involved in litigation arising in the normal course of business. While the results of such litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome will not have a material adverse effect on IPALCOās results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Amounts accrued or expensed for legal or environmental contingencies collectively during the periods covered by this report have not been material to the Financial Statements. Environmental Loss Contingencies We are subject to various federal, state, regional and local environmental protection and health and safety laws and regulations governing, among other things, the generation, storage, handling, use, disposal and transportation of regulated materials, including ash; the use and discharge of water used in generation boilers and for cooling purposes; the emission and discharge of hazardous and other materials into the environment; and the health and safety of our employees. These laws and regulations often require a lengthy and complex process of obtaining and renewing permits and other governmental authorizations from federal, state and local agencies. Violation of these laws, regulations or permits can result in substantial fines, other sanctions, permit revocation and/or facility shutdowns. We cannot provide assurance that we have been or will be at all times in full compliance with such laws, regulations and permits. New Source Review and Other CAA NOVs In October 2009, IPL received a NOV and Finding of Violation from the EPA pursuant to the CAA Section 113(a). The NOV alleged violations of the CAA at IPLās three primarily coal-fired electric generating facilities at the time, dating back to 1986. The alleged violations primarily pertain to the PSD and non-attainment New Source Review (NSR) requirements under the CAA. In addition, on October 1, 2015, IPL received a NOV from the EPA pursuant to CAA Section 113(a) alleging violations of the CAA, the Indiana SIP, and the Title V operating permit related to alleged particulate matter and opacity violations at IPL Petersburg Unit 3. Also, on February 5, 2016, the EPA issued a NOV pursuant to CAA Section 113(a) alleging violations of PSD, non-attainment NSR and other CAA regulations, the Indiana SIP, and the Title V operating permit at Petersburg Generating Station. On August 31, 2020, IPL reached a settlement with the EPA, the DOJ and IDEM resolving the purported violations of the CAA with respect to IPL's four coal-fired generation units currently operating at IPL's Petersburg location. The settlement agreement includes, among other items, the following requirements: annual caps on NO x and SO 2 emissions and more stringent emissions limits than IPL's current Title V air permit; payment of civil penalties totaling $1.525 million; a $5 million environmental mitigation project consisting of the construction and operation of a new, non-emitting source of generation at the site; expenditure of $0.325 million on a state-only environmentally beneficial project to preserve local, ecologically-significant lands; and retirement of Units 1 and 2 prior to July 1, 2023. If IPL does not meet this retirement obligation, it must install a Selective Non-Catalytic Reduction System (SNCR) on Unit 4. The Settlement Agreement is subject to final review and approval by the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Indiana, following a 30-day public comment period, which began upon publication in the Federal Register. IPL has a contingent liability recorded related to these New Source Review and other CAA NOV matters. |

Revenue from External Customer [Line Items] | |
Revenue from Contract with Customer [Text Block] | REVENUE Revenue is primarily earned from retail and wholesale electricity sales and electricity transmission and distribution delivery services. Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which we expect to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Revenue is recorded net of any taxes assessed on and collected from customers, which are remitted to the governmental authorities. Please see Note 13, āRevenueā to IPALCOās 2019 Form 10-K for further discussion of our retail, wholesale and miscellaneous revenues. IPLās revenue from contracts with customers was $350.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and $391.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, and $1,004.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and $1,100.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively. The following table presents our revenue from contracts with customers and other revenue (in thousands): For the Three Months Ended For the Three Months Ended September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Retail Revenues Retail revenue from contracts with customers: Residential $ 145,407 $ 155,670 Small commercial and industrial 50,023 56,192 Large commercial and industrial 127,884 151,816 Public lighting 2,268 2,403 Other (1) 3,875 3,864 Total retail revenue from contracts with customers 329,457 369,945 Alternative revenue programs 5,225 6,478 Wholesale Revenues Wholesale revenue from contracts with customers: 17,667 18,426 Miscellaneous Revenues Transmission and other revenue from contracts with customers 3,331 3,091 Other miscellaneous revenues (2) 408 516 Total Revenues $ 356,088 $ 398,456 (1) Other retail revenue from contracts with customers includes miscellaneous charges to customers (2) Other miscellaneous revenue includes lease and other miscellaneous revenues not accounted for under ASC 606 For the Nine Months Ended For the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2020 September 30, 2019 Retail Revenues Retail revenue from contracts with customers: Residential $ 428,568 $ 450,864 Small commercial and industrial 147,678 165,961 Large commercial and industrial 369,224 424,348 Public lighting 6,881 4,893 Other (1) 10,568 10,372 Total retail revenue from contracts with customers 962,919 1,056,438 Alternative revenue programs 18,910 19,069 Wholesale Revenues Wholesale revenue from contracts with customers: 33,476 35,533 Miscellaneous Revenues Transmission and other revenue from contracts with customers 8,392 8,474 Other miscellaneous revenues (2) 1,276 2,120 Total Revenues $ 1,024,973 $ 1,121,634 (1) Other retail revenue from contracts with customers includes miscellaneous charges to customers (2) Other miscellaneous revenue includes lease and other miscellaneous revenues not accounted for under ASC 606 The balances of receivables from contracts with customers were $151.7 million and $155.0 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Payment terms for all receivables from contracts with customers typically do not extend beyond 30 days, though see Note 2, "Regulatory Matters - IURC COVID-19 Orders" for a discussion of the June 29, 2020 and August 12, 2020 IURC orders requiring expanded payment arrangements for customers. Contract Balances ā The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections results in accounts receivable and contract liabilities. The contract liabilities from contracts with customers were $0.8 million as of September 30, 2020. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized revenue of $0.3 million and $1.0 million related to this contract liability balance, respectively. |

Lessor, Leases [Policy Text Block] | LEASES LESSEE The Company enters into long-term non-cancelable lease arrangements which are classified as either operating or finance leases; however, lease balances were not material to the Financial Statements in the periods covered by this report. LESSOR The Company is the lessor under operating leases for land, office space and operating equipment. Minimum lease payments from such contracts are recognized as operating lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term whereas contingent rentals are recognized when earned. Lease revenue included in the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations was $0.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and was $0.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Underlying gross assets and accumulated depreciation of operating leases included in Total net property, plant and equipment on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet were $4.4 million and $0.8 million, respectively, as of September 30, 2020 and $4.3 million and $0.7 million, respectively, as of December 31, 2019. The option to extend or terminate a lease is based on customary early termination provisions in the contract. The Company has not recognized any early terminations as of September 30, 2020.

Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract] | |
Risks and Uncertainties | RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIES COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity, including electricity and energy consumption, and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak has been rapidly evolving and many countries, including the U.S., have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and social distancing measures as well as restricting travel. The State of Indiana implemented, among other things, stay-at-home and other social distancing measures to slow the spread of the virus, which has impacted energy demand within our service territory, though the stay-at-home restrictions have now been lifted in our service territory. Also, the Executive Order previously issued by the Governor of Indiana prohibiting electric utilities, including us, from discontinuing electric utility service to customers through August 14, 2020 has lapsed. We are taking a variety of measures in response to the spread of COVID-19 to ensure our ability to generate, transmit, distribute and sell electric energy, ensure the health and safety of our employees, contractors, customers and communities and provide essential services to the communities in which we operate. In addition to the impacts to demand within our service territory, we also have incurred and expect to continue to incur expenses relating to COVID-19, and such expenses may include those that relate to events outside of our control. As the economic impact of the COVID-19 pandemic started to materialize in Indiana in the second half of March and continued in the second and third quarters of 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic primarily impacted our retail sales demand as shown by the changes in weather-normalized volumes of kWh sold: Customer class For the three months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 For the six months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 (1) For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the same period in 2019 Residential 3.9 % 5.1 % 3.7 % Small commercial and industrial (4.2) % (7.0) % (5.1) % Large commercial and industrial (7.9) % (9.3) % (7.3) % 1) This period most closely approximates the duration of the economic impact on our sales demand as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. We also have incurred and expect to continue to incur expenses relating to COVID-19, however see Note 2, "Regulatory Matters - IURC COVID-19 Order" for a discussion of regulatory measures which partially mitigate the impact of these expenses. The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time and may have material and adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods. |

Receivable [Policy Text Block] | Accounts Receivable The following table summarizes our accounts receivable balances at September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: September 30, December 31, 2020 2019 (In Thousands) Accounts receivable, net Customer receivables $ 97,018 $ 90,747 Unbilled revenue 54,829 65,822 Amounts due from related parties 5,645 2,717 Other 4,588 2,725 Allowance for credit losses (3,520) (921) Total accounts receivable, net $ 158,560 $ 161,090 |
Inventory, Policy [Policy Text Block] | The following table is a rollforward of our allowance for credit losses related to the accounts receivable balances for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 (in Thousands): Beginning Allowance Balance at January 1, 2020 Current Period Provision Write-offs Charged Against Allowances Recoveries Collected Ending Allowance Balance at Allowance for credit losses $ 921 $ 4,365 $ (5,124) $ 3,358 $ 3,520 The allowance for credit losses primarily relates to utility customer receivables, including unbilled amounts. Expected credit loss estimates are developed by disaggregating customers into those with similar credit risk characteristics and using historical credit loss experience. In addition, we also consider how current and future economic conditions are expected to impact collectability, as applicable, including the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our receivable balance as of September 30, 2020. Amounts are written off when reasonable collections efforts have been exhausted. An Executive Order issued by the Governor of Indiana on March 19, 2020 and extended by the IURC prohibited electric utilities, including us, from discontinuing electric utility service to customers through August 14, 2020 due to the economic impacts of COVID-19. This order along with the economic impacts of COVID-19 has resulted in an increase in past due customer receivable balances, and thus the current period provision and the allowance for credit losses has increased during 2020. Please see additional discussion in Note 2, " Regulatory Matters - IURC COVID-19 Ordersā a nd Note 12, " Risks and Uncertainties - COVID-19 Pandemic ."

Consolidation, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Principles of Consolidation The accompanying Financial Statements include the accounts of IPALCO, IPL and Mid-America Capital Resources, Inc., a non-regulated wholly-owned subsidiary of IPALCO. All significant intercompany amounts have been eliminated. The accompanying Financial Statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for annual fiscal reporting periods. In the opinion of management, all adjustments of a normal recurring nature necessary for fair presentation have been included. The electric utility business is affected by seasonal weather patterns throughout the year and, therefore, the operating revenues and associated operating expenses are not generated evenly by month during the year. These unaudited Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in IPALCOās 2019 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction therewith. |
Use Of Management Estimates | Use of Management Estimates The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires that management make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. The reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period may also be affected by the estimates and assumptions that management is required to make. Actual results may differ from those estimates. |

New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements Adopted in 2020 The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that had an impact on the Companyās Financial Statements. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or did not have a material impact on the Companyās Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Adopted ASU Number and Name Description Date of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statements upon adoption 2016-13, 2018-19, 2019-04, 2019-05, 2019-10, 2019-11, 2020-02, 2020-03, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments See discussion of the ASU below. January 1, 2020 See impact upon adoption of the standard below. ASC 326 - Financial Instruments - Credit Losses On January 1, 2020, the Company adopted ASC 326 Financial Instruments - Credit Losses and its subsequent corresponding updates ("ASC 326"). The new standard updates the impairment model for financial assets measured at amortized cost, known as the Current Expected Credit Loss ("CECL") model. For trade and other receivables, held-to-maturity debt securities, loans and other instruments, entities are required to use a new forward-looking "expected loss" model that generally results in the earlier recognition of an allowance for credit losses. For available-for-sale debt securities with unrealized losses, entities measure credit losses as it was done under previous GAAP, except that unrealized losses due to credit-related factors are now recognized as an allowance on the balance sheet with a corresponding adjustment to earnings in the income statement. The Company applied the modified retrospective method of adoption for ASC 326. Under this transition method, the Company applied the transition provisions starting at the date of adoption. The CECL model primarily impacts the calculation of the Company's expected credit losses in gross customer trade accounts receivable. The adoption of ASC 326 and the application of CECL on our trade accounts receivable did not have a material impact on our Financial Statements. New Accounting Pronouncements Issued But Not Yet Effective The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements that could have a material impact on the Companyās Financial Statements once adopted. Accounting pronouncements not listed below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable or are expected to have no material impact on the Companyās Financial Statements. New Accounting Standards Issued But Not Yet Effective ASU Number and Name Description Date of Adoption Effect on the Financial Statements upon adoption 2020-04, Reference Rate Form (Topic 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting The standard provides optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions that reference to LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued by reference rate reform. This standard is effective for a limited period of time (March 12, 2020 - December 21, 2022). March 12, 2020 - December 31, 2022 The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting the standard on the Financial Statements. |
