NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report as incorporated in and
filed with the Form 10-K. Certain prior-period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current-period presentation.
2. RATE ACTIVITY
On March 23, 1995, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved
Ohio Power Company's (OPCo) February 1995 Settlement Agreement that
resolved the current base rate case and electric fuel component
proceeding as described in Note 2 in the 1994 Annual Report. The
increase in OPCo's base rates was effective March 23, 1995.
3. FINANCING AND RELATED ACTIVITIES
In March 1995, a subsidiary issued $50 million of 8% Series First
Mortgage Bonds due in 2005. The proceeds were used to refund long-term
debt and repay short-term debt. In April 1995, subsidiaries issued $40
million of 8.72% Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures
Series A due in 2025 and redeemed the $46.5 million outstanding balance
of 9-1/8% Series First Mortgage Bonds due in 2019.
4. CONTINGENCIES
The Company continues to be involved in certain matters discussed in
the 1994 Annual Report.
AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FIRST QUARTER 1995 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1994
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income decreased 3% or $5.1 million predominantly due to a 5%
decrease in energy sales as a result of mild winter weather in 1995.
Income statement lines which changed significantly were:
Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) %
Revenues. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(72.0) (5)
Fuel and Purchased Power Expense. . . . . . . . . . (89.6) (18)
Other Operation Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 14.2 6
Maintenance Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (12.8) (9)
Depreciation and Amortization Expense . . . . . . . 8.3 6
Federal Income Taxes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.9 8
The decrease in operating revenues reflects decreased energy sales to
residential and wholesale customers, due primarily to mild weather in 1995
compared with the severe winter weather in January 1994, and decreased fuel
clause recoveries due to a decline in the fuel cost component of revenues.
Although energy sales to weather-sensitive residential customers decreased 5%,
total retail energy sales were virtually unchanged due to an increase in
industrial sales resulting from an increased number of customers and increased
usage. Wholesale energy sales declined 22% mainly resulting from the mild
weather and increased availability of unaffiliated generating units in 1995
compared with 1994.
The substantial decline in fuel and purchased power expense was primarily
due to decreased generation and decreased energy purchases from unaffiliated
utilities for pass-through sales to other unaffiliated utilities as a result
of the weather-related decline in energy demand. Also contributing to the
decline in fuel expense was a reduced average cost of fossil fuel and
increased utilization of low-cost nuclear generation during the current period
reflecting increased availability in 1995 of the Company's two nuclear
generating units.
Other operation expense increased mainly due to regulatory-approved
increases in the amortization, concurrent with rate recovery, of certain low-
income residential customers' payment programs, an increase in membership fees
for industry organizations, and the non-Ohio jurisdictional share of rent
expense for the newly installed two-unit Gavin Plant flue gas desulfurization
systems (scrubbers). The Ohio jurisdictional share of the Gavin Plant's
scrubber rent and other operating expenses were deferred and in March 1995 the
Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved recovery of the scrubber rent
including amortization of previously deferred amounts.
The decrease in maintenance expense was caused by reduced generating
plant maintenance and a reduction in distribution line maintenance expenses.
Distribution maintenance was unusually high in 1994 due to damage caused by a
series of severe winter storms.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to a court-
ordered discontinuance of the Zimmer Plant phase-in plan deferrals effective
in February 1994 and the subsequent amortization of such costs commensurate
with their recovery in rates.
The increase in federal income tax expense attributable to operations was
primarily due to changes in certain book/tax differences accounted for on a
flow-through basis and an increase in pre-tax operating income.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total plant and property additions including capital leases for the
current period were $157 million.
During the quarter subsidiaries issued $50 million principal amount of
long-term debt at 8%, and decreased short-term debt by $129 million. In April
1995, subsidiaries issued $40 million of 8.72% Junior Subordinated Deferrable
Interest Debentures Series A due in 2025 and redeemed the $46.5 million
outstanding balance of 9-1/8% Series First Mortgage Bonds due in 2019.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report as incorporated in and filed with the
Form 10-K.
AEP GENERATING COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 1995 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1994
Operating revenues are derived from the sale of Rockport Plant energy and
capacity to two affiliated companies and one unaffiliated utility pursuant to
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) approved long-term unit power
agreements. The unit power agreements provide for recovery of costs including
a FERC approved rate of return on common equity and a return on other capital
net of temporary cash investments. Net income declined $0.4 million or 14.9%
reflecting a reduction in common equity on which a return is earned and a
decreased return on other capital due to an increase in temporary cash
investments during 1995. The reduction in common equity resulted from the
return of $5.7 million of capital to the parent company during the second and
third quarters of 1994.
Income statement items which changed significantly were as follows:
Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) %
Fuel Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 0.5 2.0
Taxes Other Than Federal Income Taxes. . . . . . . . . . 0.1 11.4
Federal Income Taxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (0.2) (16.9)
Fuel expense increased due to a 5.6% increase in generation partially
offset by a lower average fuel cost. Taxes other than federal income taxes
increased as a result of the effect of favorable prior period accrual
adjustments for Indiana property taxes recorded in the first quarter of 1994.
Federal income tax expense attributable to operations decreased due to a
decrease in pre-tax operating income.

contribution from its parent which was credited to paid-in capital. Also
in March 1995, the Company issued $50 million of 8.00% Series First
Mortgage Bonds due in 2005. The proceeds were used to refund long-term
debt and repay short-term debt. In April 1995, the Company redeemed the
remaining $46.5 million outstanding balance of its 9 1/8% Series First
Mortgage Bonds due in 2019.
3. CONTINGENCIES

APPALACHIAN POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FIRST QUARTER 1995 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1994
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Although operating revenues decreased $30.6 million or 7%, operating
expenses decreased $39.8 million or 11% resulting in a net income increase of
$9.4 million or 29%. The reduction in operating revenues resulted primarily
from decreased energy demand by residential and wholesale customers, primarily
due to mild winter weather in 1995 compared with the severe weather in 1994,
and a decrease in the fuel component of Virginia retail rates. Although
energy sales to weather sensitive residential customers decreased 5%, total
retail energy sales were virtually unchanged due to a 4% increase in sales to
industrial customers.
Wholesale energy sales decreased 25% mainly due to decreased energy sales
to unaffiliated utilities by the AEP System Power Pool (Power Pool) resulting
from the mild weather and increased availability of unaffiliated generating
units in 1995. Additionally, the Company's share of Power Pool sales
decreased as a result of a reduction in the relative peak demand allocation
ratio which is used to allocate wholesale revenues to the Company.
Operating expense line items which changed significantly were as follows:
Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) %
Fuel Expense. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(11.6) (10)
Purchased Power Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . (30.9) (33)
Maintenance Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4.1) (10)
Federal Income Taxes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 5.2 29
The decline in fuel expense was due to a reduction in the average cost of
fuel consumed and a 4% reduction in coal-fired generation reflecting the
decreased demand for energy.
Purchased power expense decreased as a result of a reduction in energy
purchased from the Power Pool, reduced energy purchases from unaffiliated
utilities for pass-through sales and a reduction in Power Pool capacity
charges. The reductions in energy purchases were also attributable to the
weather-related reduced demand for energy. The decrease in Power Pool
capacity charges resulted from a reduction in the Company's prior twelve-month
peak demand relative to the total peak demand of all Power Pool members.
Power Pool members whose internal demand exceeds their capacity are allocated
capacity costs based on their relative peak demands.
The decrease in maintenance expense was caused by reduced steam plant
maintenance and a reduction in distribution line maintenance expenses in 1995
compared with 1994 due to damage caused by a series of severe winter storms in
1994.
Federal income taxes attributable to operations increased primarily due
to an increase in pre-tax operating income.
The reduction in nonoperating loss resulted from the negative effect in
1994 of the adoption of SFAS 112, Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits, by the Company's subsidiaries, which were formerly engaged in
coal-mining.
Interest expense rose primarily as a result of increased short-term debt
borrowings.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total plant and property additions including capital leases for the first
three months of 1995 were $50 million.
In March 1995, the Company received a $15 million cash capital
contribution from its parent which was credited to paid-in capital. Also in
March 1995, the Company issued $50 million of 8.00% Series First Mortgage
Bonds due in 2005. The proceeds were used to refund long-term debt and repay
short-term debt. In April 1995, the Company redeemed the remaining $46.5
million outstanding balance of its 9 1/8% Series First Mortgage Bonds due in
2019.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the 1994 Annual
Report as incorporated in and filed with the Form 10-K.
Certain prior-period amounts were reclassified to conform
with current-period presentation.
2. CONTINGENCIES
The Company continues to be involved in certain matters
discussed in its 1994 Annual Report.
COLUMBUS SOUTHERN POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 1995 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1994
Net income increased 4% due to a reduction in interest
charges as a result of the refinancing of debt at lower interest
rates and the retirement of debt.
Operating revenues increased $1.2 million primarily as a
result of a retail rate increase that went into effect on
February 1, 1994. The favorable effect of the rate increase was
largely offset by a decrease in wholesale energy sales to
unaffiliated utilities due to mild winter weather. The Public
Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) granted a 7.11% increase in
rates effective February 1, 1994. The rate increase had no
effect on net income since it is offset by the amortization of
prior year Zimmer phase-in plan deferrals and the cessation of
deferred carrying charges on the plant investment which would
have occurred had the phase-in plan continued in effect.
Other income statement lines which changed significantly were
as follows:
Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) %
Fuel Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(2.3) (4)
Purchased Power Expense. . . . . . . . . . . (7.5) (19)
Other Operation Expense. . . . . . . . . . . 2.5 6
Taxes Other Than Federal Income Taxes. . . . 1.7 7
Fuel expense declined primarily due to decreased generation
and a decrease in the cost of fuel consumed offset in part by the
operation of the fuel clause adjustment mechanism which resulted
in an increase in the amortization of previously deferred fuel
costs. Under the fuel clause adjustment mechanism the Company
defers fuel expense to the extent it varies from the allowed
electric fuel component rate until such deferrals are amortized
to expense commensurate with their inclusion in fuel rates in
later months.
The decrease in purchased power expense was due to the
reduction in wholesale energy demand caused by the mild winter
weather in the first quarter of 1995.
Other operation expense increased due to increased
uncollectible accounts expense, resulting from a PUCO-approved
increase in amortization, concurrent with rate recovery, of the
cost of an assistance program for certain low-income residential
customers, and increased customer accounts expenses.
Taxes other than federal income taxes rose due to an increase
in gross receipts tax on the increased retail revenues.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report as incorporated in and
filed with the Form 10-K. Certain prior-period amounts have been
reclassified to conform to current-period presentation.
2. CONTINGENCIES
On March 27, 1995, the Court of Appeals of Indiana ruled in the
Company's favor by affirming the DeKalb County Circuit Court's 1992
dismissal of a local distribution utility's lawsuit which sought $29
million in damages from the Company. The damages were sought under a
provision of Indiana law that allows a local distribution utility to seek
damages equal to the gross revenues received by a Company for service
rendered in the local distribution utility's designated service territory.
The suit followed a Supreme Court of Indiana decision which overruled an
appeals court and voided an Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission order
which had assigned a major industrial customer to the Company. The local
distribution utility has filed a petition to have the suit transferred to
the Supreme Court of Indiana.
The Company continues to be involved in certain other matters
discussed in its 1994 Annual Report.
INDIANA MICHIGAN POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FIRST QUARTER 1995 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1994
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income decreased 15% or $6.6 million due primarily to the negative
impact on sales to residential customers and unaffiliated utilities of the
mild winter weather in 1995, and to the favorable federal income tax effect of
the retirement of the Breed Plant in 1994.
Operating revenues decreased $10.7 million or 3% mainly due to reduced
fuel and power supply cost recoveries from retail customers and decreased
energy sales to residential and unaffiliated wholesale customers reflecting
the mild weather. These decreases were offset in part by a substantial
increase in energy supplied to the AEP System Power Pool (Power Pool). The
reductions in fuel and power supply revenue did not affect net income because
fuel costs are matched with revenues in accordance with rate commission
orders. Although residential energy sales decreased 6%, retail energy sales
were virtually unchanged due to a 5% increase in industrial sales resulting
from an increased number of customers and increased usage. The substantial
increase in energy deliveries to the Power Pool resulted from the increased
availability of the Company's nuclear plant (Cook Plant) which had been
unavailable during part of the first quarter of 1994 as a result of scheduled
refueling and unscheduled maintenance outages. The increase in energy
deliveries to the Power Pool did not affect net income since Power Pool
members are compensated for their out-of-pocket costs.
Other income statement line items which changed significantly were:
Increase

(in millions) %
Fuel Expense. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $ 9.7 18
Purchased Power Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (17.3) (38)

Federal Income Taxes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 4.9 40
Nonoperating Income . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4.3) (98)
The increase in fuel expense was due to a 57% increase in generation as a
result of the increased availability in 1995 of the two Cook Plant nuclear
units. In 1994 one of the Cook Plant units was out of service for refueling
from mid-February through the end of May and the other unit experienced
unscheduled maintenance outages.
The decline in purchased power expense reflects the increased availability
of the Cook Plant's generating capacity and the mild winter weather in 1995.
The reduction in maintenance expense reflects the decrease in maintenance
at the Cook Plant and reduced fossil plant maintenance due to the retirement
of the Breed Plant in 1994.
Federal income taxes attributable to operations increased due to changes
in certain book/tax differences accounted for on a flow-through basis and
increased pre-tax operating income.
Nonoperating income declined reflecting the favorable tax effect of the
retirement of the Breed Plant in 1994.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total plant and property additions including capital leases for the
current period were $31.9 million. During the first three months of 1995
outstanding short-term debt declined $45.5 million.

1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report as incorporated in and filed with
the Form 10-K. Certain prior-period amounts were reclassified to conform
with current-period presentation.
2. CONTINGENCIES
The Company continues to be involved in certain matters discussed in
its 1994 Annual Report.
3. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
In April 1995 the Company issued $40 million of 8.72% Junior
Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debentures Series A, Due 2025 and used
the proceeds to reduce short-term debt. Therefore, as of March 31, 1995
$40 million of short-term debt was reclassified to long-term debt.
KENTUCKY POWER COMPANY
MANAGEMENT'S NARRATIVE ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FIRST QUARTER 1995 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1994
Net income remained unchanged from the prior period. An increase of $0.7
million in operating income was offset by an increase in interest expense on
short-term debt due to additional borrowing and an increase in short-term
interest rates.
Income statement lines which changed significantly were:
Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) %
Operating Revenues. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(1.2) (1.3)
Fuel Expense. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.2 5.8
Purchased Power Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2.0) (8.1)
Other Operation . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 1.3 14.2
Maintenance Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (2.7) (27.2)
The decrease in operating revenues was due to decreased wholesale energy
sales to unaffiliated utilities by the AEP System Power Pool reflecting the
effects of mild winter weather on energy demand and the ability of those
utilities to meet their demand with their own generation. Although operating
revenues declined due to the reduction in wholesale energy sales, retail
revenues increased reflecting a 3% rise in retail energy sales and increased
fuel clause revenues. Energy sales to industrial customers rose 11%
reflecting higher levels of industrial output, while milder winter weather
reduced residential sales by 4%.
Fuel expense increased due to the operation of a fuel clause adjustment
mechanism whereby previously deferred fuel costs are subsequently included in
billings to customers. Under the fuel clause adjustment mechanism the Company
defers fuel expense to the extent it varies from the allowed electric fuel
rate.
The decrease in purchased power expense resulted from decreased energy
purchases from unaffiliated utilities for pass-through sales and a reduction
in the cost of energy purchases from the Power Pool due to mild winter
weather, partly offset by an increase in the Company's share of AEP Power Pool
capacity charges. As a Power Pool member whose internal demand exceeds its
capacity, the Company pays capacity charges allocated to Power Pool members
based on their relative peak demands. An increase in the Company's prior
twelve month peak demand relative to the total peak demand of all Power Pool
members caused the increase in Power Pool capacity charges.
Other operation expense increased mainly due to increased administrative
expenses and higher accruals for uncollectible accounts.
The decrease in maintenance expense resulted from the effect of
significant distribution line maintenance expenditures to repair damage from
severe winter storms in 1994.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
MARCH 31, 1995
(UNAUDITED)
1. GENERAL
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be
read in conjunction with the 1994 Annual Report as incorporated in and
filed with the Form 10-K.
2. RATE ACTIVITY
On March 23, 1995, the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio approved
the Company's February 1995 Settlement Agreement that resolved the current
base rate case and electric fuel component proceeding as described in Note
3 in the 1994 Annual Report. The increase in the Company's base rates was
effective March 23, 1995.
3. CONTINGENCIES
The Company continues to be involved in certain other matters
discussed in the 1994 Annual Report.
OHIO POWER COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
FIRST QUARTER 1995 vs. FIRST QUARTER 1994
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Net income decreased 12% or $6.5 million primarily due to a 22% decrease
in energy sales as a result of milder winter weather in 1995.
Income statement lines which changed significantly were:
Increase (Decrease)
(in millions) %
Operating Revenues. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . $(70.2) (14)
Fuel Expense. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (69.0) (34)
Other Operation Expense . . . . . . . . . . . . . 9.8 20
Federal Income Taxes. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (4.0) (14)
The significant decrease in operating revenues reflects decreased energy
sales to residential and wholesale customers, primarily due to milder weather
in 1995 compared with the severe weather in January 1994, and decreased fuel
clause recoveries due to a decline in the fuel cost component of revenues.
Although energy sales to weather sensitive residential customers decreased 5%,
total retail energy sales increased slightly due to a 3% increase in energy
sales to industrial customers. Energy sales to commercial customers remained
constant.
Wholesale energy sales declined 57% mainly due to decreased energy sales
to unaffiliated utilities by the AEP System Power Pool (Power Pool), resulting
from the mild weather and increased availability of unaffiliated generating
units in 1995, and a reduction in energy sales to the Power Pool. A decline
in the Power Pool's energy requirements reflecting the milder weather;
maintenance and repair outages at several of the Company's generating units in
1995; and the availability during the current period of an affiliate's two
nuclear generating units which had been out of service during 1994 resulted in
the reduction of energy supplied to the Power Pool.
The substantial decrease in fuel expense was due to decreased generation
resulting from the decline in energy demand and the generating unit outages,
and a reduced average cost of fuel consumed.
Other operation expense rose due to regulatory-approved increases in
amortization, concurrent with rate recovery, of certain low-income residential
customers' payment programs, increased membership fees for industry
organizations, and the non-Ohio jurisdictional share of rent expense for the
newly installed two-unit Gavin Plant flue gas desulfurization systems
(scrubbers). The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio (PUCO) jurisdictional
share of the Gavin Plant's scrubber rent expense was deferred, beginning in
December 1994, pending PUCO approval for recovery. In March 1995, the PUCO
approved recovery of current and deferred rent expense and authorized the
amortization of the previously deferred Gavin expenses beginning on March 23,
1995 over 4 years.
The decrease in federal income tax expense attributable to operations was
primarily due to a decrease in pre-tax operating income.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
Total plant and property additions including capital leases for the
current period were $38 million.
There were no issuances or retirements of long-term debt and preferred
stock in the first quarter of 1995.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
American Electric Power Company, Inc. ("AEP") and Ohio Power
Company ("OPCo")
Reference is made to page 34 of the Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the year ended December 31, 1994 ("1994 10-K") for a discussion
of a lawsuit filed by Ormet Corporation seeking a declaration that
it is the owner of certain emission allowances. On March 31, 1995,
the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of West Virginia
granted the defendants' motions to dismiss Ormet's complaint, each
of which was filed on May 2, 1994. Ormet has appealed the District
Court's decision to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth
Circuit only with respect to defendants AEP Service Corporation and
OPCo.
Reference is made to page 34 of the 1994 10-K for a discussion
of litigation regarding the Meigs 31 mine. Southern Ohio Coal
Company ("SOCCo") and the West Virginia Division of Environmental
Protection ("West Virginia DEP") have entered into a Settlement
Agreement dated May 8, 1995, under which the West Virginia DEP has
released SOCCo from any claims which it may have had and SOCCo has
made a donation of $260,000 to the Water Quality Management Fund of
the West Virginia DEP. SOCCo has also agreed that it will not
enter into a settlement agreement with the U.S. government regard-
ing the Meigs mine dewatering which does not include an agreement
that the West Virginia DEP will be entitled to direct the expendi-
ture of $100,000 from any fund established as part of a consent
decree for work in the Ohio River for the benefit of Leading Creek.
Item 5. Other Information.
AEP, AEP Generating Company ("AEGCo"), Appalachian Power Company
("APCo"), Columbus Southern Power Company ("CSPCo"), Indiana Michi-
gan Power Company ("I&M"), Kentucky Power Company ("KEPCo") and
OPCo
Reference is made to pages 5, 6, 8 and 9 of the 1994 10-K for a
discussion of AEP's transmission access filing, the increasing
competition in the electric utility industry, the transmission
access provisions of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, and a proposed
Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") rulemaking. On March
29, 1995, the FERC issued Notices of Proposed Rulemaking addressing
open transmission access and recovery of stranded costs. Under the
proposed rules, utilities under FERC jurisdiction would be required
to file non-discriminatory open access transmission tariffs, avail-
able to all wholesale sellers and buyers of electricity. In addi-
tion, the utilities would be required to take service under the
tariffs for their own wholesale sales and possibly purchases of
electric energy. In a separate procedural order, parties in 17
pending cases involving open access transmission services, includ-
ing AEP, were directed to proceed with their cases, taking into
account the FERC's current views as described in the open access
proposal. The FERC's stated goals in offering the open access rule
are (i) to facilitate the development of a competitive generation
market by ensuring that wholesale buyers and sellers can reach each
other, and (ii) to eliminate anti-competitive and discriminatory
practices in transmission services.
With respect to stranded costs, the FERC seeks additional
comments limited to the new matters being proposed. The FERC
stated that the approach proposed in the June 29, 1994 proposed
rulemaking "should adequately cover most, if not all, costs that
could be stranded in an environment where transmission access is
more widely available, including the access environment that the
[FERC] expects if the provisions of the open access [proposed
rulemaking] are adopted." The FERC delineated a number of prelimi-
nary determinations which were reached as a result of the June 29
rulemaking proposal including:
o The FERC made a preliminary determination that "recovery of
legitimate and verifiable stranded costs should be allowed,
and that direct assignment of stranded costs to departing
customers, as proposed in the [June 29 proposed rulemaking],
is the appropriate method for recovery."
o The FERC made a preliminary determination that "it is appro-
priate to leave it to state regulatory authorities to assume
responsibility for any stranded costs occasioned by retail
wheeling, except in the narrow circumstance in which the
state regulatory authority does not have authority under
state law, at the time retail wheeling is required, to
address recovery of such costs."
Reference is made to page 23 of the 1994 10-K for a discussion
of regulations governing nitrogen oxides emissions. On March 31,
1995, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency issued a revised
final rule replacing the one remanded by the U.S. Court of Appeals
for the District of Columbia Circuit on November 29, 1994. This
final rule was issued as a result of a settlement among the parties
to the litigation.
I&M
Effective April 28, 1995, Indiana enacted into law legislation
relating to utility regulation with the following provisions:
o The earnings test period was extended from one year to five
years, allowing utilities an increased opportunity to oper-
ate at or near the rate of return approved by the Indiana
Utility Regulatory Commission ("IURC") and possibly delaying
the frequency of rate increases.
o The IURC may decline to exercise, in whole or in part, its
jurisdiction over either a utility or the retail energy
service of a utility, or both, if the public interest so
requires.
o A utility may propose, and the IURC may approve, alternative
regulatory plans which could include setting customer rates
based on market or average prices, price caps, index-based
prices and prices based on performance and efficiency.
Reference is made to page 9 of the 1994 10-K for a discussion
of a proposed rulemaking for integrated resource planning ("IRP")
in Indiana. On April 5, 1995, the IURC promulgated the final rules
on integrated resource planning and demand-side management ("DSM").
The IURC promulgated the rules pursuant to Indiana statutes requir-
ing that a utility assess demand-side and supply-side resources to
meet cost-effectively and reliably customer electricity service
needs. The DSM rule provides a method of cost recovery for demand-
side management programs. The IRP rule requires electric utilities
to submit to the IURC on a biennial basis, beginning on or before
November 1, 1995, an integrated resource plan.
Reference is made to page 21 of the 1994 10-K for a discussion
of nuclear waste disposal. The U.S. Department of Energy has
indicated in its "Final Interpretation of Nuclear Waste Acceptance
Issues" published in the May 3, 1995 Federal Register that it has
no statutory or contractual obligation to accept high level waste
and spent nuclear fuel beginning in 1998 in the absence of a
repository or interim storage facility.
CSPCo
Reference is made to page 10 of the 1994 10-K for a discussion
of new business development. CSPCo has submitted a proposal to
acquire the City of Columbus' trash burning power plant and its
electric system. Under the bid submitted to the City of Columbus
and the Solid Waste Authority of Central Ohio ("SWACO"), the plant
would be idled until possible repowering with gas-fired combustion
turbines. Under the proposed bid, CSPCo would, among other things:
o Idle the 90-megawatt waste-to-energy facility. CSPCo would
study repowering the plant in the future with gas-fired
combustion turbines, but did not expect to use waste as a
fuel.
o Purchase the City's electric distribution and transmission
system.
The City's electric system has about 11,000 electric customers,
including 8,000 residential, 2,000 commercial and 1,000 industrial
customers.
