American Electric Power (Nasdaq: AEP) is an electric utility holding company that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity to approximately 5.6 million customers across 11 U.S. states. AEP operates the nation's largest electric transmission system with approximately 40,000 line miles, along with more than 253,000 miles of distribution lines. The company owns or has contracted approximately 34,000 megawatts of diverse generating capacity. AEP's family of operating companies includes AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (serving Virginia, West Virginia, and Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Ohio Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (serving Arkansas, Louisiana, east Texas, and the Texas Panhandle). The company operates through four primary business segments: Vertically Integrated Utilities, Transmission & Distribution Utilities, AEP Transmission Holdco, and Generation & Marketing. AEP is experiencing significant load growth driven by data centers, hyperscalers, and manufacturers, with 84 GW of incremental contracted load expected by 2031, and plans to invest $100 billion over five years through 2031 to modernize and expand its infrastructure.
