Update: On May 15, 2015, AEP Ohio filed an amended application for Commission approval of AEP’s proposal to enter into a new affiliate power purchase agreement (PPA) between the Company and AEP Generation Resources, Inc. (AEPGR), through which the Company would purchase the output of specific generating units owned by AEPGR.
