Today, AEP announced key organizational changes aimed at empowering local operations and increasing value for our customers and stakeholders. As customer needs evolve, these changes will help us improve service and drive growth in the communities we serve. “This new leadership and organizational structure is part of our effort to streamline the company, shift decision making and accountability closer to customers, and align our support organizations to ensure our businesses have the appropriate resources to enhance value for all of our stakeholders,” said Bill Fehrman, AEP president and CEO.

AEP Ohio has filed a settlement to support the rapidly growing data center industry while ensuring protections for all customers. “Ohio’s economic success in bringing data centers to our state comes with immense demands for electricity, and we have to meet those efficiently and responsibly,” said Marc Reitter, president and COO of AEP Ohio. “Our goal throughout this process has been to provide customers with protections, while keeping Ohio an attractive place to run and grow a business. This proposal provides that balance and was developed with PUCO staff and consumer advocates.” The staff of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio, the Office of the Ohio Consumers' Counsel, the Ohio Energy Group (OEG), Ohio Partners for Affordable Energy, and Walmart joined AEP Ohio in the filing.

Our Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of 93 cents a share, an increase of 5 cents per share. “AEP is strengthening our operations to deliver reliable, affordable energy for customers and results for investors," said Bill Fehrman, president and CEO. “Our nearly 115-year history of consecutive quarterly dividends reflects this commitment to providing consistent value to our shareholders. We are proud to continue this tradition while remaining focused on our strategy to enhance service for customers.”

Happy #CustomerServiceWeek! We're thankful for the dedicated individuals who support our customer operations.

In the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, a collective effort was launched to rebuild and repair infrastructure and restore power. The storm left 409,000 customers of Appalachian Power, AEP Ohio and Kentucky Power without electricity. Nearly 10,000 personnel were mobilized, including line workers, tree and support personnel, and damage assessors. They dedicated more than one million hours to repair the damage and restore power safely.

A heartfelt thank you to these heroes from Public Service Company of Oklahoma, Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO), Indiana Michigan Power and AEP Ohio, who are on their way to Florida to assist with repairs and power restoration in the aftermath of Hurricane Milton. Stay safe, everyone! #HurricaneMilton #ThankALineworker

Crews from across our service territory have been working tirelessly to restore power for customers in Appalachian Power, Kentucky Power and AEP Ohio communities. They've encountered thousands of spans of fallen wire, uprooted trees, flooding, and many other hazards in the field while restoring power. We're grateful for each and every member of our teams and the long hours they've put in to safely restore power in the wake of Helene.

Mutual assistance is a hallmark of our industry. We appreciate our crews for their dedication and willingness to brave the storm and serve where they are most needed. Stay safe, everyone!
