AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY COMPANIES
MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW
Customer DemandImpacts of Severe Winter Weather
AEP’s weather-normalizedIn February 2021, severe winter weather impacted the service territories of APCo, KPCo, PSO and SWEPCo resulting in power outages, extensive damage to infrastructure and disruptions to SPP market conditions. Impacts of the severe winter weather are included below. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.
Storm Restoration Costs
The impact of the severe winter weather resulted in power outages and extensive damage to transmission and distribution infrastructures across the service territories of APCo, KPCo and SWEPCo. As of June 30, 2021, an estimated $65 million of capital expenditures and $144 million of restoration expenses have been incurred related to the severe winter weather. Approximately $138 million of the expenses represent incremental restoration expenses and have been deferred as regulatory assets. The KPSC and LPSC issued orders authorizing the deferral of incremental restoration expenses as regulatory assets. KPCo intends to seek recovery of these incremental storm restoration costs in their next base rate case while APCo and SWEPCo are expected to seek recovery in separate filings. If any of the restoration costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Impacts in SPP
The severe winter weather also had a significant impact in SPP resulting in the declaration of Energy Emergency Alert Levels 2 and 3 for the first time in SPP’s history. The winter storm increased the demand for natural gas and restricted the available natural gas supply resulting in significantly increased market prices for natural gas power plants to meet reliability needs for the SPP electric system.
Retail Customers
As of June 30, 2021, PSO and SWEPCo have deferred regulatory assets of $669 million and $453 million, respectively, relating to natural gas expenses and purchases of electricity incurred from February 9, 2021, to February 20, 2021, as a result of severe winter weather. SWEPCo’s deferred regulatory asset consists of $116 million, $161 million and $176 million related to the Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas jurisdictions, respectively. PSO and SWEPCo have active fuel clauses that allow for the recovery of prudently incurred fuel and purchased power expenses. Given the significance of these costs, PSO and SWEPCo expect the costs to be subject to prudency reviews. Management believes these costs are probable of future recovery, but expects the recovery period to be extended to mitigate the impact on customer bills.
In March 2021, the APSC issued an order authorizing recovery of the Arkansas jurisdictional share of the retail sales volumescustomer fuel costs over five years, with the appropriate carrying charge to be determined at a later date. Accordingly, in April 2021, SWEPCo began recovery of its Arkansas jurisdictional share of these fuel costs, which are subject to true-up by the APSC. Also in April 2021, SWEPCo filed testimony supporting a five-year recovery with a pretax rate of return of 6.05% which has been supported by APSC staff. Various other parties have recommended recovery periods ranging from 5-20 years with a pretax rate of return of 1.65%. In July 2021, the APSC ordered more testimony regarding the option of utilizing securitization to recover the fuel costs. Once testimony concludes, a hearing will be scheduled. The prudency of these fuel costs is expected to be addressed in a separate proceeding.
In March 2021, the LPSC approved a special order granting a temporary modification to the FAC that allows SWEPCo to recover the Louisiana jurisdictional share of these retail fuel costs over a longer period than what the FAC traditionally allows. In April 2021, SWEPCo began recovery of its Louisiana jurisdictional share of these fuel costs based on a five year recovery period. SWEPCo will work with the LPSC to finalize the actual recovery period and determine the appropriate carrying charge in future proceedings.
In April 2021, the OCC approved a waiver for PSO allowing the deferral of the extraordinary fuel and purchase of electricity costs, including carrying costs at an interim rate of 0.75%, over a longer time period than what the FAC traditionally allows. Also in April 2021, legislation was enacted in Oklahoma to securitize the extraordinary fuel and purchase of electricity costs impacting the utilities within the state. Under the legislation, the OCC has the authority to determine, after receiving an application from a rate-regulated utility, if the extraordinary fuel and purchase of electricity costs incurred in February 2021 may be mitigated through securitization to reduce the impact on customer bills. PSO has filed an application for a financing order to pursue securitization.
SWEPCo expects to make a filing with the PUCT in the third quarter of 2021 to seek a recovery mechanism and an appropriate carrying charge for the Texas jurisdictional share of the retail fuel costs.
Wholesale Customers
During the first quarter of 2018 increased by 1.5%2021, SWEPCo billed wholesale customers $104 million resulting from the firstsevere winter weather events. SWEPCo worked with wholesale customers to establish payment terms for the outstanding accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2021, $63 million of accounts receivable from wholesale customers are outstanding. Management believes these receivables are probable of future collection.
PSO and SWEPCo Cash Flow Implications
PSO and SWEPCo evaluated financing alternatives to address the timing difference between the payment of the estimated natural gas expenses and purchases of electricity to suppliers and subsequent recovery from customers. In March 2021, PSO drew $100 million on its revolving credit facility and SWEPCo issued $500 million of Senior Unsecured Notes. In March 2021, Parent entered into a $500 million 364-day Term Loan and borrowed the full amount. The proceeds from this loan were used to help fund capital contributions to PSO and SWEPCo totaling $425 million and $100 million, respectively. In April 2021, PSO received an additional capital contribution from Parent of $125 million to further address these costs.
Although the February 2021 severe winter weather did not materially impact AEP’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, if either PSO or SWEPCo is unable to recover these fuel and purchased power costs, or obtain authorization of a reasonable carrying charge on these costs, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
COVID-19
In 2020, COVID-19 was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Its rapid spread around the world and throughout the United States prompted many countries, including the United States, to institute restrictions on travel, public gatherings and certain business operations. These restrictions significantly disrupted economic activity in AEP’s service territory and resulted in reduced demand for energy, particularly from commercial and industrial customers. In 2021, weather-normalized customer demand has improved from the pandemic levels experienced in 2020. Management expects continued improvement during the remainder of 2021 as additional vaccinations occur and economic activity improves.
During 2020, AEP’s electric operating companies informed both retail customers and state regulators that disconnections for non-payment were temporarily suspended. Shortly thereafter, AEP’s state regulators also imposed temporary moratoria on customary disconnection practices. As of June 30, 2021, AEP’s electric operating companies have resumed customary disconnection practices in all regulated jurisdictions with the exception of Virginia. AEP continues to work with regulators and stakeholders in Virginia and management currently anticipates resuming customary disconnection practices in the third quarter of 2017. AEP’s first quarter 2018 industrial sales volumes increased 2.5% compared2021.
AEP has been and continues to be proactive in engaging with customers to collect payments or establish payment arrangements for outstanding balances. As of June 30, 2021, AEP currently does not expect accounts receivable aging to have a material adverse impact on the Registrants’ allowance for uncollectible accounts based on considerations of the COVID-19 impacts and past trends during times of economic instability. Management continues to monitor developments that could have an impact on customer collections.
The Registrants continue to take steps to mitigate the potential risks to customers, suppliers and employees posed by the spread of COVID-19. As of June 30, 2021, there has been no material adverse impact to the firstRegistrants’ business operations and customer service as a result of the current remote work model. In the second quarter of 2017. The growth2021, management announced a Future of Work model designating employees as: (a) On-Site employees, (b) Hybrid employees and (c) Remote employees. Management currently expects to begin transitioning On-Site employees back to their AEP workplace and Hybrid employees with set schedules back to their AEP workplace in industrial sales was spread across most industriesAugust 2021. Remote employees will begin transitioning back to their AEP workplace in September 2021 on an as-needed basis. Management will continue to review and most operating companies. Weather-normalized residentialmodify plans as conditions change.
In 2021, the Registrants have experienced certain supply chain disruptions driven by several factors including staffing and commercial sales increased 1.4%travel issues caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, the economic recovery from the pandemic, labor shortages and 0.5%shortages in the first quarteravailability of 2018, respectively, from the first quarter of 2017.
Federal Tax Reform
In December 2017, legislation referred to as Tax Reform was signed into law. Tax Reform includes significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code) andcertain raw materials. These supply chain disruptions have not had a material impact on the Registrants financial statements in the reporting period of its enactment. Tax Reform lowered the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%. Tax Reform provisions related to regulated public utilities generally allow for the continued deductibility of interest expense, eliminate bonus depreciation for certain property acquired after September 27, 2017 and continue certain rate normalization requirements for accelerated depreciation benefits.
The Registrants expect the mechanism and time period to provide the benefits of Tax Reform to customers will continue to vary by jurisdiction. Tax Reform did not have a material impact on net income in the first quarter of 2018 and is not expected to have a material impact on future net income. However, the Registrants anticipate a decrease in future cash flows primarily due to the elimination of bonus depreciation, the reduction in the federal tax rate from 35% to 21% and the flow back of excess accumulated deferred income taxes (Excess ADIT). Further, the Registrants expect that access to capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy any liquidity needs that result from any such decrease in future cash flows.
Provisional Amounts
The Registrants applied Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), issued by the SEC staff in December 2017, and made reasonable estimates for the measurement and accounting of the effects of Tax Reform which are reflected in the financial statements as provisional amounts based on the best information available. While the Registrants were able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of Tax Reform in 2017, the final impact may differ from the recorded provisional amounts to the extent refinements are made to the estimated cumulative differences or as a result of additional guidance or technical corrections that may be issued by the IRS that may impact management’s interpretation and assumptions utilized. The Registrants expect to complete the analysis of the provisional items during the second half of 2018.
Reduction in the Corporate Federal Income Tax Rate - Pending Rate Reductions
State utility commissions have issued orders or instructions requiring public utilities, including the Registrants, to record liabilities to reflect the impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate in excess of the enacted corporate federal income tax rate of 21% beginning in 2018. During the first quarter of 2018, AEP recorded estimated provisions for revenue refunds totaling $120 million as a result of the reduction in the corporate federal tax rate.
Excess Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes - Pending Rate Reductions
As of March 31, 2018, the Registrants have approximately $4.4 billion of Excess ADIT, as well as an incremental liability of $1.2 billion to reflect the $4.4 billion Excess ADIT on a pre-tax basis, presented in Regulatory Liabilities and Deferred Investment Tax Credits on the balance sheets. The Excess ADIT is reflected on a pretax basis to appropriately contemplate future tax consequences in the periods when the regulatory liability is settled. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $3.4 billion of the Excess ADIT relates to temporary differences associated with depreciable property subject to rate normalization requirements.
As reflected in the Registrants’ respective estimated annual ETR for 2018, AEP’s regulated public utilities began amortizing the Excess ADIT associated with certain depreciable property subject to rate normalization requirements using the ARAM during the first quarter of 2018. This amortization resulted in a $17 million reduction in Income Tax Expense in the first quarter of 2018. As a result of state utility commission orders or instructions, the Registrants recorded estimated provisions for revenue refund offsetting the amortization of the Excess ADIT totaling $17 million in the first quarter of 2018.
In addition, with respect to the remaining $1 billion of Excess ADIT recorded in Regulatory Liabilities and Deferred Investment Tax Credits that are not subject to rate normalization requirements, the Registrants continue to work with the various state utility commissions to determine the appropriate mechanism and time period to provide these benefits of Tax Reform to customers. The corresponding reduction in Income Tax Expense will be reported in the interim period in which these benefits of Tax Reform are provided to customers.
Merchant Generation Assets
In September 2016, AEP signed an agreement to sell Darby, Gavin, Lawrenceburg and Waterford Plants totaling 5,329 MWs of competitive generation to a nonaffiliated party. The sale closed in January 2017 for approximately $2.2 billion. The net proceeds from the transaction were approximately $1.2 billion in cash after taxes, repayment of debt associated with these assets and transaction fees, which resulted in an after tax gain of approximately $129 million. AEP primarily used these proceeds to reduce outstanding debt and invest in its regulated businesses including transmission, and contracted renewable projects. See “Dispositions” section of Note 6 for additional information.
In February 2017, AEP signed an agreement to sell its 25.4% ownership share of Zimmer Plant to Dynegy Corporation. Simultaneously, AEP signed an agreement to purchase Dynegy Corporation’s 40% ownership share of Conesville Plant, Unit 4. The transactions closed in the second quarter of 2017 and did not have a material impact on net income, cash flows orand financial condition.
In December 2017, AEP signedcondition, but have extended lead times for certain goods and services. Management has implemented risk mitigation strategies in an amendmentattempt to mitigate the Cardinal Station Agreement with Buckeye Power Incorporated, which terminates certain commercial arrangements between the parties and transitions management oversight and administrative supportimpacts of the Cardinal facility from AEP to Buckeye Power Incorporated. The amendment required approval from Rural Utilities Service and the FERC, which were obtained in February 2018. The new amendment became effective March 2018 and did not havethese supply chain disruptions. However, a material impact on net income, cash flows or financial condition.
Management continues to evaluate potential alternatives for its remaining merchant generation assets. These potential alternatives may include, but are not limited to, transfer or sale of AEP’s ownership interestsprolonged continuation or a wind downfuture increase in the severity of merchant coal-fired generation fleet operations. Management has not set a specific time frame for a decision on these assets. These alternativessupply chain disruptions could result in additional lossesimpact the cost of certain goods and services and extend lead times which could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Customer Demand
AEP’s weather-normalized retail sales volumes for the second quarter of 2021 increased by 6.3% from the second quarter of 2020. Weather-normalized residential sales decreased by 3.1% in the second quarter of 2021 from the second quarter of 2020. AEP’s second quarter 2021 industrial sales volumes increased by 12.8% compared to the second quarter of 2020. The increase in industrial sales was spread across many industries. Weather-normalized commercial sales increased 10% in the second quarter of 2021 from the second quarter of 2020.
AEP’s weather-normalized retail sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 1.9% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. Weather-normalized residential sales decreased by 0.5% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. AEP’s industrial sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2021 increased by 2.8% compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020. The recovery in industrial sales volumes was spread across many industries. Weather-normalized commercial sales increased 3.9% for the six months ended June 30, 2021 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2020.
The increase in industrial and commercial sales volumes is primarily the result of the COVID-19 pandemic’s impact on the second quarter of 2020 when public health restrictions significantly disrupted economic activity and demand for energy in AEP’s service territory. Similarly, the decline in weather-normalized residential sales volumes is driven by the cessation of stay at home restrictions that were in place in 2020 and the gradual return of customers to the workplace.
Regulatory Matters
AEP’s public utility subsidiaries are involved in rate and regulatory proceedings at the FERC and their state commissions. Depending on the outcomes, these rate and regulatory proceedings can have a material impact on results of operations, cash flows and possibly financial condition. AEP is currently involved in the following key proceedings. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.
•2017-2019 Virginia Triennial Review - In November 2020, the Virginia SCC issued an order on APCo’s 2017-2019 Triennial Review filing concluding that APCo earned above its authorized ROE but within its ROE band for the 2017-2019 period, resulting in no refund to customers and no change to APCo base rates on a prospective basis. The Virginia SCC approved a prospective 9.2% ROE for APCo's 2020-2022 triennial review period with the continuation of a 140 basis point band (8.5% bottom, 9.2% midpoint, 9.9% top).
In December 2020, an intervenor filed a petition at the Virginia SCC requesting reconsideration of: (a) the failure of the Virginia SCC to apply a threshold earnings test to the approved regulatory asset for APCo’s closed coal-fired generation assets, (b) the Virginia SCC’s use of a 2011 benchmark study to measure the replacement value of capacity for purposes of APCo’s 2017 – 2019 earnings test and (c) the reasonableness and prudency of APCo’s investments in AMI meters.
In December 2020, APCo filed a petition at the Virginia SCC requesting reconsideration of: (a) certain issues related to APCo’s going-forward rates and (b) the Virginia SCC’s decision to deny APCo tariff changes that align rates with underlying costs. For APCo’s going-forward rates, APCo requested that the Virginia SCC clarify its final order and clarify whether APCo’s current rates will allow it to earn a fair return. If the Virginia SCC’s order did conclude on APCo’s ability to earn a fair return through existing base rates, APCo further requested that the Virginia SCC clarify whether it has the authority to also permit an increase in base rates.
In March 2021, the Virginia SCC issued an order confirming certain of its decisions from the November 2020 order and rejecting the various requests for reconsideration from APCo and an intervenor. In confirming its decision to reject an intervenor’s recommendation that APCo’s AMI costs incurred during the triennial period be disallowed, the Virginia SCC clarified that APCo established the need to replace its existing AMR meters, and that based on the uncertainty surrounding the continued manufacturing and support of AMR technology, APCo reasonably chose to replace them with AMI meters. In March 2021, APCo filed a notice of appeal of the reconsideration order with the Virginia Supreme Court. APCo expects to submit its brief before the Virginia Supreme Court in the third quarter of 2021.
In April 2021, and in conjunction with APCo’s November 2020 and March 2021 appeals with the Virginia Supreme Court, APCo filed a petition for interim rates with the Virginia Supreme Court (subject to refund with interest and supported by a bond issuance) requesting a $40 million increase in annual APCo Virginia base rates. APCo submitted this filing based on Virginia law that allows the Virginia Supreme Court to authorize interim rates until the final disposition on APCo’s appeals. APCo also requested an expedited schedule from the Virginia Supreme Court on APCo’s appeals. In May 2021, the Virginia Supreme Court denied APCo’s petition for an interim rate increase and denied the request for an expedited schedule on APCo’s appeals.
APCo ultimately seeks an increase in base rates through its appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court. Among other issues, this appeal includes APCo’s request for proper treatment of the closed coal-fired plant assets in APCo’s 2017-2019 triennial period, reducing APCo’s earnings below the bottom of its authorized ROE band. If APCo’s appeals regarding treatment of the closed coal plants are granted by the Virginia Supreme Court, it could initially reduce future net income and impact financial condition. The initial negative impact for the write-off of closed coal-fired plant asset balances would potentially be partially offset by an increase in base rates for earning below APCo’s 2017-2019 authorized ROE band.
•2020 Ohio Base Rate Case - In June 2020, OPCo filed a request with the PUCO for a $42 million annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 10.15% ROE net of existing riders. In March 2021, OPCo, the PUCO staff and various intervenors filed a joint stipulation and settlement agreement with the PUCO based upon an annual revenue decrease of $68 million and an ROE of 9.7%. The difference between OPCo’s requested annual base rate increase and the agreed upon decrease is primarily due to a reduction in the requested ROE, the removal of proposed future energy efficiency costs and a decrease in vegetation management expenses moved to recovery in riders. In addition, the joint stipulation and settlement agreement includes an increased fixed monthly residential customer charge, the discontinuation of rate decoupling and the continuation of the DIR with annual revenue caps of $57 million in 2021, $91 million in 2022, $116 million in 2023 and $51 million for the first five months of 2024. Annual revenue caps for the DIR can be increased if OPCo achieves certain reliability standards. A hearing took place with the PUCO in May 2021 and initial briefs were filed in June 2021 followed by reply briefs in July 2021. An order from the PUCO is expected by the end of 2021.
•Hurricane Laura - In August 2020, Hurricane Laura hit the coasts of Louisiana and Texas, causing power outages to more than 130,000 customers across SWEPCo’s service territories. Prior to Hurricane Laura, SWEPCo did not have a catastrophe reserve or automatic deferral authority within any of its jurisdictions. In October 2020, the LPSC issued an order allowing Louisiana utilities, including SWEPCo, to establish a regulatory asset to track and defer expenses associated with Hurricane Laura. In October 2020, as part of the 2020 Texas Base Rate Case, SWEPCo requested deferral authority of incremental other operation and maintenance expenses. As of June 30, 2021, management estimates that SWEPCo has incurred incremental other operation and maintenance expenses of $83 million ($81 million of which has been deferred as a regulatory asset related to the Louisiana jurisdiction) and incremental capital expenditures of $30 million, all of which is related to the Louisiana jurisdiction. Management expects to request recovery of these storm costs in a filing inclusive of SWEPCo’s various other storm costs.
•2012 Texas Base Rate Case - In 2012, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT to increase annual base rates primarily due to the completion of the Turk Plant. In 2013, the PUCT issued an order affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant. In July 2018, the Texas Third Court of Appeals reversed the PUCT’s judgment affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant and remanded the issue back to the PUCT. In January 2019, SWEPCo and the PUCT filed petitions for review with the Texas Supreme Court. In March 2021, the Texas Supreme Court issued an opinion reversing the July 2018 judgment of the Texas Third Court of Appeals and agreeing with the PUCT’s judgment affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant.No parties filed a motion for rehearing with the Texas Supreme Court. As of June 30, 2021, the net book value of Turk Plant was $1.4 billion, before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and CWIP. SWEPCo’s Texas jurisdictional share of the Turk Plant investment is approximately 33%.
•In July 2019, Ohio House Bill 6 (HB 6), which offered incentives for power-generating facilities with zero or reduced carbon emissions, was signed into law by the Ohio Governor. HB 6 phased out current energy efficiency programs as of December 31, 2020, including OPCo’s shared savings revenues of $26 million annually and renewable mandates after 2026. HB 6 also provided for the recovery of existing renewable energy contracts on a bypassable basis through 2032 and included a provision for recovery of OVEC costs through 2030 which will be allocated to all electric distribution utilities on a non-bypassable basis. OPCo’s Inter-Company Power Agreement for OVEC terminates in June 2040. In July 2020, an investigation led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office resulted in a federal grand jury indictment of the Speaker of the Ohio House of Representatives, Larry Householder, four other individuals, and Generation Now, an entity registered as a 501(c)(4) social welfare organization, in connection with an alleged racketeering conspiracy involving the adoption of HB 6. Certain defendants in that case have since pleaded guilty. In August 2020, an AEP shareholder filed a putative class action lawsuit against AEP and certain of its officers for alleged violations of securities laws in connection with HB 6. On May 10, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the securities litigation for failure to state a claim, and under the Court’s briefing schedule the motion will be fully briefed by July 26, 2021. In addition, four AEP shareholders have filed derivative actions purporting
to assert claims on behalf of AEP against certain AEP officers and directors. See Litigation Related to Ohio House Bill 6 section of Litigation below for additional information.
In March 2021, the Governor of Ohio signed legislation that, among other things, rescinded the payments to the nonaffiliated owner of Ohio’s nuclear power plants that were previously authorized under HB 6. The new legislation, House Bill 128, went into effect after 90 days and leaves unchanged other provisions of HB 6 regarding energy efficiency programs, recovery of renewable energy costs and recovery of OVEC costs. To the extent that OPCo is unable to recover the costs of renewable energy contracts on a bypassable basis by the end of 2032, recover costs of OVEC after 2030 or incurs significant costs associated with the securities class action or the derivative actions, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
•In December 2020, APCo and WPCo filed a proposal with the WVPSC to implement an investment tracker surcharge mechanism for recovering costs associated with capital investment made between base rate cases.The initial filing requests a total annual increase of $50 million ($41 million related to APCo), which represents recovery of costs associated with infrastructure investments made over an approximate three-year period since the companies’ last base rate case filing in 2018.The filing also proposes that APCo and WPCo could submit annual filings with requested increases capped to a percentage of total retail revenues (3.5% in the first year and 3% in subsequent filings with an overall cap of 9.5%). If a future base rate case is filed, the surcharge would reset to zero on implementation of the new rates.
In July 2021, the WVPSC issued an order approving the investment tracker mechanism with an initial annual revenue requirement of $44 million ($35 million related to APCo) effective September 2021 based on a 9.25% ROE. Under the conditions of the order, APCo and WPCo would not be permitted to file a base rate case before June 30, 2024. The order also allows APCo and WPCo to request future year investment tracker increases for assets placed in service during the most recent 12-month period ending September 30th, subject to an annual three percent rider increase cap on base year total retail revenues. APCo and WPCo filed a petition for reconsideration with the WVPSC to reconsider and modify certain parts of the order, including the condition that APCo and WPCo will not file a base rate case before June 30, 2024. The companies request certain exceptions to be recognized that allow for base rate case filings in certain circumstances.
•In April 2021, the FERC issued a supplemental Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NOPR) proposing to modify its incentive for transmission owners that join RTOs (RTO Incentive). Under the supplemental NOPR, the RTO Incentive would be modified such that a utility would only be eligible for the RTO Incentive for the first three years after the utility joins a FERC-approved Transmission Organization. This is a significant departure from a previous NOPR issued in 2020 seeking to increase the RTO Incentive from 50 basis points to 100 basis points. The supplemental NOPR also required utilities that have received the RTO Incentive for three or more years to submit, within 30 days of the effective date of a final rule, a compliance filing to eliminate the incentive from its tariff prospectively. The supplemental NOPR is subject to a 60 day comment period followed by a 30 day period for reply comments. A final rule could be issued in the fourth quarter of 2021.
In 2019, the FERC approved settlement agreements establishing base ROEs of 9.85% (10.35% inclusive of RTO Incentive adder of 0.5%) and 10% (10.5% inclusive of RTO Incentive adder of 0.5%) for AEP’s PJM and SPP transmission-owning subsidiaries, respectively. In 2020, the FERC determined the base ROE for MISO’s transmission owning subsidiaries should be 10.02% (10.52% inclusive of RTO Incentive adder of 0.5%).
In July 2021, the FERC issued an order denying Dayton Power and Light’s request for a 50 basis point RTO incentive on the basis that its RTO participation was not voluntary, but rather is required by Ohio law. This precedent could have an impact on AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries whose RTO membership is not voluntary, including OPCo and AEP Ohio Transmission Company.
If the FERC modifies its RTO Incentive policy, it would be applied, as applicable, to AEP’s PJM, SPP and MISO transmission owning subsidiaries on a prospective basis, and could affect future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. Based on management’s preliminary estimates, if a final rule is adopted consistent with the April 2021 supplemental NOPR, it could reduce AEP’s pretax income by approximately $55 million to $70 million on an annual basis.

Renewable Generation Portfolio
The growth of AEP’s renewable generation portfolio reflects the company’s strategy to diversify generation resources to provide clean energy options to customers that meet both their energy and capacity needs.
Contracted Renewable Generation Facilities
AEP continues to develop its renewable portfolio within the Generation & Marketing segment. Activities include working directly with wholesale and large retail customers to provide tailored solutions based upon market knowledge, technology innovations and deal structuring which may include distributed solar, wind, combined heat and power, energy storage, waste heat recovery, energy efficiency, peaking generation and other forms of cost reducing energy technologies. The Generation & Marketing segment also develops and/or acquires large scale renewable generation projects that are backed with long-term contracts. contracts with creditworthy counterparties.
As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, subsidiaries within AEP’s Generation & Marketing segment havehad approximately 4001,633 MWs of contracted renewable generation projects in operation.in-service. In addition, as of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, these subsidiaries havehad approximately 10155 MWs of new renewable generation projects under construction with total estimated capital costs of $26$221 million related to these projects.
In January 2018, AEP admitted a nonaffiliate as a member of Desert Sky Wind Farm LLC and Trent Wind Farm LLC (collectively the “LLCs”) to own and repower Desert Sky and Trent, which is expected to be completed in 2018. The nonaffiliated member contributed full turbine sets to each project in exchange for a 20.1% interest in the LLCs. AEP’s 79.9% share of the LLCs, or 248 MWs, represents $232 million of additional estimated capital, of which $131 million has been incurred and recorded in CWIP as of March 31, 2018. AEP is subject to a put and a call option after certain conditions are met, either of which would liquidate the nonaffiliated member’s interest. See Note 13 - Variable Interest Entities for additional information.
Regulated Renewable Generation Facilities
In July 2017, APCo submitted filings with2020, PSO received approval from the Virginia SCCOCC and SWEPCo received approval from the WVPSC requesting regulatory approval to acquire two wind generation facilities totaling approximately 225 MWs of wind generation. The wind generating facilities are located in West VirginiaAPSC and Ohio and, if approved, are anticipated to be in-service in the second half of 2019. APCo will assume ownership of the facilities at or near the anticipated in-service date. APCo currently plans to sell the Renewable Energy Certificates associated with the generation from these facilities. In December 2017, the WVPSC staff and an industrial intervenor filed testimony in West Virginia and the Virginia SCC staff filed testimony in Virginia arguing that APCo’s forecast of natural gas and energy prices was too high and, with the exception of the WVPSC staff’s recommended approval of the facility located in West Virginia, did not support approval of APCo’s acquisition of the facilities. In January 2018, APCo filed supplemental testimony with the WVPSC to address changes in the economics of the wind projects as a result of Tax Reform. A hearing at the WVPSC was held in March 2018 and briefs were filed in April 2018. The WVPSC staff, the industrial intervenor and the Consumer Advocate Division of the Public Service Commission all recommended that the WVPSC deny APCO’s request for approval of the wind farms. Also in April 2018, the Virginia SCC denied APCo’s applicationLPSC to acquire the twoNorth Central Wind Energy Facilities, comprised of three Oklahoma wind generation facilities. APCo filedfacilities totaling 1,485 MWs, on a petition for reconsideration withfixed cost turn-key basis at completion. Both the Virginia SCC,APSC and LPSC approved the flex-up option, agreeing to acquire the Texas portion, which wasthe PUCT denied. PSO will own 45.5% and SWEPCo will own 54.5% of the project, which will cost approximately $2 billion.
In July 2017,June 2021, the IRS issued a notice extending the “Continuity Safe Harbor” deadlines for qualifying renewable energy projects. Under the June 2021 IRS notice, the Continuity Safe Harbor for qualifying renewable energy projects that began construction in calendar years 2016 through 2019 is extended to six years. Additionally, the Continuity Safe Harbor is extended to five years for qualifying projects that began construction in calendar year 2020. Provided that each facility does satisfy the Continuity Safe Harbor, under the current IRS guidance, the Sundance wind facility will qualify for 100% of the federal PTC, and the Maverick and Traverse wind facilities will qualify for 80% of the federal PTC.
In April 2021, PSO and SWEPCo submitted filings withacquired respective undivided ownership interests in the OCC, LPSC, APSCentity that owned Sundance during its development and PUCT requesting various regulatory approvals neededconstruction for $270 million, the companies to proceed withfirst of the Wind Catcher Project. The Wind Catcher Project includesthree NCWF acquisitions. Immediately following the acquisition, of a wind generation facility, totaling approximately 2,000 MWs of wind generation,PSO and SWEPCo liquidated the construction of a generation interconnection tie-line totaling approximately 380 miles. Totalentity and simultaneously distributed the Sundance assets in proportion to their undivided ownership interests. Sundance was placed in-service in April 2021. The total investment for the projectin Sundance is estimated to be $4.5$291 million inclusive of previously capitalized pre-construction costs. The Maverick wind facility is targeted to be acquired and placed in-service in December 2021 and the Traverse wind facility is targeted to be acquired and placed in-service between December 2021 and April 2022. See Note 6 - Acquisitions for additional information.
In June 2021, SWEPCo issued requests for proposals to acquire up to 3,000 MWs of wind and 300 MWs of solar generation resources. The wind and solar generation projects would be subject to regulatory approval.
Strategic Evaluation of KPCo and AEP Kentucky Transmission Company, Inc. (KTCo)
AEP has initiated a strategic evaluation for its ownership in KPCo, a wholly-owned regulated generation, transmission and distribution utility with approximately 166,000 retail customers in eastern Kentucky and KTCo, an AEPTCo wholly-owned regulated transmission only utility. Potential alternatives may include continued ownership or a sale of KPCo and KTCo. Management is currently evaluating the potential alternatives and expects a decision will be made during 2021. As of June 30, 2021, KPCo has total assets of approximately $2.8 billion and will serve both retailtotal equity of approximately $847 million and KTCo has total assets of approximately $157 million and total equity of approximately $73 million.
Racine
In February 2021, AEP signed an agreement to sell Racine to a nonaffiliated party. As of June 30, 2021, the net book value of Racine was $45 million. The sale of Racine requires approval from the FERC wholesale load. PSO and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2021 and result in an immaterial gain. Racine was not presented as Held for Sale on AEP’s balance sheets due to immateriality.
Dolet Hills Power Station and Related Fuel Operations
DHLC provides 100% of the fuel supply to Dolet Hills Power Station. During the second quarter of 2019, the Dolet Hills Power Station initiated a seasonal operating schedule. In 2020, management of SWEPCo will haveand CLECO determined DHLC would not proceed developing additional Oxbow Lignite Company (Oxbow) mining areas for future lignite extraction and ceased extraction of lignite at the mine in May 2020. Based on these actions, management revised the estimated useful life of DHLC’s and Oxbow’s assets to coincide with the date at which extraction was discontinued in the second quarter of 2020 and the date at which delivery of lignite is expected to cease in September 2021. In addition, management also revised the useful life of the Dolet Hills Power Station to 2021 based on the remaining estimated fuel supply available for continued seasonal operation. In April 2020, SWEPCo and CLECO jointly filed a 30% and 70% ownership share, respectively, in these assets. The wind generating facility is located in Oklahoma and, if approved by all state commissions, is anticipatednotification letter to be in-service by the end of 2020. In July 2017, the LPSC approved SWEPCo’s request for an exemption to the Market Based Mechanism. In August 2017 and December 2017, the OCC denied the Oklahoma Attorney General’s respective August and December 2017 motions to dismiss. Also in December 2017, the companies filed a request at the FERC to transfer the wind generation facility to PSO and SWEPCo upon its construction by a third party, which was approved in April 2018. The transfer remains subject to the approvalproviding notice of the project at the respective state commissions. Parties’ testimony filed in the Oklahoma, Texas and Louisiana dockets generally opposes the companies’ request. In February 2018, the ALJ in Oklahoma recommended that PSO’s request for preapprovalcessation of future recovery of Wind Catcher Projectlignite mining.
The Dolet Hills Power Station non-fuel costs be denied. In March 2018, oral arguments were held before three Oklahoma Commissioners regarding the ALJ report and parties agreed to waive the 240 day statutory deadline for an order to continue the discussions. A non-unanimous settlement agreement was filed in Arkansas in
February 2018, a unanimous settlement was filed in April 2018 in Louisiana and a non-unanimous settlement was filed in April 2018 in Oklahoma, with further settlement discussion continuing. The settlement agreements and the companies’ rebuttal testimony filed in Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana, generally contain certain commitments of PSO andare recoverable by SWEPCo including a most favored nation clause, a cap on the cost of the investment, guarantees of qualification for production tax credits, minimum annual production from the project and a net benefits guarantee for ten years. In addition, PSO and SWEPCo committed in each jurisdiction to the timely filing of a base rate case to shorten the duration of cost recovery through a temporary mechanism.
Hurricane Harvey
In August 2017, Hurricane Harvey hit the coast of Texas, causing power outages in the AEP Texas service territory. As rebuilding efforts continue, AEP Texas’ total costs related to this storm are not yet final. AEP Texas’ current estimated cost is approximately $325 million to $375 million, including capital expenditures. AEP Texas has a PUCT approved catastrophe reserve which allows for the deferral of incremental storm expenses as a regulatory asset, and currently recovers approximately $1 million annually through base rates. AsSWEPCo’s share of March 31, 2018, the total balancenet investment in the Dolet Hills Power Station is $147 million, including CWIP and materials and supplies, before cost of AEP Texas’ catastrophe reserve deferral is $129removal.
Fuel costs incurred by the Dolet Hills Power Station are recoverable by SWEPCo through active fuel clauses. Under the fuel agreements, SWEPCo’s fuel inventory and unbilled fuel costs from mining related activities were $119 million inclusiveas of approximately $105 million of net incremental storm expenses related to Hurricane Harvey. As of March 31, 2018, AEP Texas has recorded approximately $186 million of capital expenditures related to Hurricane Harvey.June 30, 2021. Also, as of March 31, 2018, AEP Texas has received $10June 30, 2021, SWEPCo had a net over-recovered fuel balance of $17 million, excluding impacts of the February 2021 severe winter weather event, which includes fuel consumed at the Dolet Hills Power Station. Additional operational, reclamation and other land-related costs incurred by DHLC and Oxbow will be billed to SWEPCo and included in insurance proceeds, which were applied to the regulatory asset and property, plant and equipment. Management, in conjunctionfuture fuel clauses.
In June 2020, SWEPCo filed a fuel reconciliation with the insurance adjusters, is reviewing all damages to determine the extent of coveragePUCT for additional insurance reimbursement. Any future insurance recoveries received will also be applied to, and will offset, the regulatory asset and property, plant and equipment, as applicable. Management believes the amount recorded as a regulatory asset is probable of recovery and AEPits retail operations in Texas, is currently evaluating recovery optionsincluding Dolet Hills, for the regulatory asset, including securitization. The standard process for storm cost recovery in Texas requires two filings with the PUCT. Management expects the first filing by the endreconciliation period of third quarter of 2018. If the ultimate costs of the incident are not recovered by insurance or through the regulatory process, it would have an adverse effect on future net income, cash flows and financial condition.
June 2015 - May 2018 ESP Including PPA Application and Proposed ESP Extension through 2024
In March 2016, a contested stipulation agreement related1, 2017 to the PPA rider application was modified and approved by the PUCO. The approved PPA rider is subject to audit and review by the PUCO. Consistent with the terms of the modified and approved stipulation agreement, and based upon a September 2016 PUCO order, in November 2016, OPCo refiled its amended ESP extension application and supporting testimony. The amended filing proposed to extend the ESP through May 2024 and included (a) an extension of the OVEC PPA rider, (b) a proposed 10.41% return on common equity on capital costs for certain riders, (c) the continuation of riders previously approved in the June 2015 - May 2018 ESP, (d) proposed increases in rate caps related to OPCo’s DIR and (e) the addition of various new riders, including a Renewable Resource Rider.
In August 2017, OPCo and various intervenors filed a stipulation agreement with the PUCO. The stipulation extends the term of the ESP through May 2024 and includes: (a) an extension of the OVEC PPA rider, (b) a proposed 10% return on common equity on capital costs for certain riders, (c) the continuation of riders previously approved in the June 2015 - May 2018 ESP, (d) rate caps related to OPCo’s DIR ranging from $215 million to $290 million for the periods 2018 through 2021, (e) the addition of various new riders, including a Smart City Rider and a Renewable Generation Rider, (f) a decrease in annual depreciation rates based on a depreciation study using data through December 2015 and (g) amortization of approximately $24 million annually beginning January 2018 of OPCo’s excess distribution accumulated depreciation reserve, which was $239 million as of December 31, 2015. Upon PUCO approval of the stipulation, OPCo will cease recording $39 million in annual amortization previously approved to end in December 2018 in accordance with PUCO’s December 2011 OPCo distribution base rate case order. In the stipulation, OPCo and intervenors agree that OPCo can request in future proceedings a change in meter depreciation rates due to retired meters pursuant to the smart grid Phase 2 project. DIR rate caps will be reset in OPCo’s next distribution base rate case which must be filed by June 2020.
In October 2017, intervenor testimony opposing the stipulation agreement was filed recommending: (a) a return on common equity to not exceed 9.3% for riders earning a return on capital investments, (b) that OPCo should file a base distribution case concurrent with the conclusion of the current ESP in May 2018 and (c) denial of certain new riders proposed in OPCo’s ESP extension. The stipulation was reviewed by the PUCO at a hearing in November 2017.
In April 2018, the PUCO issued an order approving the stipulation agreement, with no significant changes.
2016 SEET Filing
In December 2016, OPCo recorded a 2016 SEET provision of $58 million based upon projected earnings data for companies in the comparable utilities risk group. In determining OPCo’s return on equity in relation to the comparable utilities risk group, management excluded the following items resolved in OPCo’s Global Settlement: (a) gain on the deferral of RSR costs, (b) refunds to customers related to the SEET remands and (c) refunds to customers related to fuel adjustment clause proceedings.
In May 2017, OPCo submitted its 2016 SEET filing with the PUCO in which management indicated that OPCo did not have significantly excessive earnings in 2016 based upon actual earnings data for the comparable utilities risk group.
In January 2018, the PUCO staff filed testimony that OPCo did not have significantly excessive earnings. Also in January 2018, an intervenor filed testimony recommending a $53 million refund to customers. In February 2018, OPCo and PUCO staff filed a stipulation agreement in which both parties agreed that OPCo did not have significantly excessive earnings in 2016.
A 2016 SEET hearing was held in April 2018 and management expects to receive an order in the second half of 2018. While management believes that OPCo’s adjusted 2016 earnings were not excessive, management did not adjust OPCo’s 2016 SEET provision due to risks that the PUCO could rule against OPCo’s proposed SEET adjustments, including treatment of the Global Settlement issues described above, adjust the comparable risk group or adopt a different 2016 SEET threshold. If the PUCO orders a refund of 2016 OPCo earnings, it could negatively affect future SEET filings, reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.2019. See “2016 SEET Filing”“2020 Texas Fuel Reconciliation” section of Note 4 for additional information.
Rockport Plant, Unit 2 SCRIn March 2021, the LPSC issued an order allowing SWEPCo to recover up to $20 million of fuel costs in 2021 and defer approximately $30 million of additional costs with a recovery period to be determined at a later date.
In October 2016, I&M filed an application withMarch 2021, the IURC for approval of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to install SCR technology at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 by December 2019. The equipment will allow I&M to reduce emissions of NOx from Rockport Plant, Unit 2 in order for I&M to continue to operateAPSC approved fuel rates that unit under current environmental requirements. The estimated costprovide recovery of the SCR project is $274 million, excluding AFUDC, to be shared equally between I&M and AEGCo. As of March 31, 2018, total costs incurred related to this project, including AFUDC, were approximately $28 million. The filing included a request for authorization for I&M to defer its Indiana jurisdictional ownership share of costs including investment carrying costs at a weighted average cost of capital (WACC), depreciation over a 10-year period as provided by statute and other related expenses. I&M proposed recovery of these costs using the existing Clean Coal Technology Rider in a future filing subsequent to approval of the SCR project. The AEGCo ownershipArkansas share of the proposed SCR project will be billable under2021 Dolet Hills Power Station fuel costs over five years through the Rockport UPA to I&M and KPCo and will be subject to future regulatory approval for recovery.existing fuel clause.
In March 2018, the IURC issued an order approving: (a) the CPCN, (b) the $274 million estimated cost of the SCR, excluding AFUDC, (c) deferral accounting for the Indiana jurisdictional ownership share of costs, including investment carrying costs, (d) depreciation of the SCR asset over 10 years and (e) recovery of these costs using I&M’s existing Indiana Clean Coal Technology Rider.
In April 2018, a group of intervenors filed a Petition for Reconsideration and Rehearing of the March 2018 IURC order. The intervenors requested that the IURC reopen the proceeding primarily to address whether allowing I&M any cost recovery for the SCR would constitute a cross-subsidization issue and to reverse its finding approving cost recovery for the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 SCR project. Also in April 2018, I&M filed a response to the intervenors’ petition.
2017 Indiana Base Rate Case
In July 2017, I&M filed a request with the IURC for a $263 million annual increase in Indiana rates based upon a proposed 10.6% return on common equity with the annual increase to be implemented after June 2018. Upon implementation, this proposed annual increase would be subject to a temporary offsetting $23 million annual reduction to customer bills through December 2018 for a credit adjustment rider related to the timing of estimated in-service dates of certain capital expenditures. The proposed annual increase includes $78 million related to increased annual depreciation rates and an $11 million increase related to the amortization of certain Cook Plant and Rockport Plant regulatory assets. The increase in depreciation rates includes a change in the expected retirement date for Rockport Plant, Unit 1 from 2044 to 2028 combined with increased investment at the Cook Plant, including the Cook Plant Life Cycle Management Project.
In November 2017, various intervenors filed testimony that included annual revenue increase recommendations ranging from $125 million to $152 million. The recommended returns on common equity ranged from 8.65% to 9.1%. In addition, certain parties recommended longer recovery periods than I&M proposed for recovery of regulatory assets and depreciation expenses related to Rockport Plant, Units 1 and 2. In January 2018, in response to a January 2018 IURC request related to the impact of Tax Reform on I&M’s pending base rate case, I&M filed updated schedules supporting a $191 million annual increase in Indiana base rates if the effect of Tax Reform was included in the cost of service.
In February 2018, I&M and all parties to the case, except one industrial customer, filed a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement for a $97 million annual increase in Indiana rates effective July 1, 2018 subject to a temporary offsetting reduction to customer bills through December 2018 for a credit rider related to the timing of estimated in-service dates of certain capital expenditures. The one industrial customer agreed to not oppose the Stipulation and Settlement Agreement. The difference between I&M’s requested $263 million annual increase and the $97 million annual increase in the Stipulation and Settlement Agreement is primarily a result of: (a) the reduction in the federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform, (b) the feedback of credits for excess deferred income taxes, (c) a 9.95% return on equity, (d) longer recovery periods of regulatory assets, (e) lower depreciation expense primarily for meters and (f) an increase in the sharing of off-system sales margins with customers from 50% to 95%. If the Stipulation and Settlement is approved, I&M will also refund $4 million from July through December 2018 for the impact of Tax Reform for the period January through June 2018. A hearing at the IURC was held in March 2018 and an IURC order is expected in the second quarter of 2018. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2017 Michigan Base Rate Case
Pirkey Power Plant and Related Fuel Operations
In May 2017, I&M filed a request with2020, management announced plans to retire the MPSC for a $52 million annual increasePirkey Power Plant in Michigan2023. The Pirkey Power Plant non-fuel costs are recoverable by SWEPCo through base rates based upon a proposed 10.6% return on common equity with the increase to be implemented no later than April 2018. The proposed annual increase includes $23 million related to increased annual depreciation rates and a $4 million increase related to the amortization of certain Cook Plant regulatory assets. The increase in depreciation rates is primarily due to the proposed change in the expected retirement date for Rockport Plant, Unit 1 from 2044 to 2028 combined with increased investment at the Cook Plant related to the Life Cycle Management Project.
In February 2018, an MPSC ALJ issued a Proposal for Decision and recommended an annual revenue increase of $49 million, including an intervenors’ proposed capacity rate based on PJM’s net cost of new entry value of $289/MW-day and MPSC staff’s recommended calculation of depreciation expense for both units of Rockport Plantfuel costs are recovered through 2028 and a return on common equity of 9.8%. If the maximum 10% of customers choose an alternate supplier starting in February 2019, the estimated annual pretax loss due to the reduced capacity rate would be approximately $9 million until adjusted in the next base rate case.
In April 2018, the MPSC issued an order that generally approved the ALJ proposal resulting in an annual revenue increase of $49 million, effective April 2018 based on a 9.9% return on common equity. The MPSC also approved the ALJ’s recommendation related to the capacity rate.
Merchant Portion of Turk Plant
SWEPCo constructed the Turk Plant, a base load 600 MW pulverized coal ultra-supercritical generating unit in Arkansas, which was placed into service in December 2012 and is included in the Vertically Integrated Utilities segment. SWEPCo owns 73% (440 MWs) of the Turk Plant and operates the facility.
The APSC granted approval for SWEPCo to build the Turk Plant by issuing a Certificate of Environmental Compatibility and Public Need (CECPN) for the SWEPCo Arkansas jurisdictionalactive fuel clauses. SWEPCo’s share of the Turknet investment in the Pirkey Power Plant (approximately 20%). Following an appeal by certain intervenors, the Arkansas Supreme Court issued a decision that reversed the APSC’s grant of the CECPN. In June 2010, in response to an Arkansas Supreme Court decision, the APSC issued an order which reversed and set aside the previously granted CECPN. This share of the Turk Plant output is currently not subject to cost-based rate recovery and is being sold into the wholesale market. Approximately 80% of the Turk Plant investment is recovered under cost-based rate recovery in Texas, Louisiana and through SWEPCo’s wholesale customers under FERC-based rates. As of March 31, 2018, the net book value of Turk Plant was $1.5 billion,$206 million, including CWIP, before cost of removal,removal. Sabine is a mining operator providing mining services to the Pirkey Power Plant. Under the provisions of the mining agreement, SWEPCo is required to pay, as part of the cost of lignite delivered, an amount equal to mining costs plus a management fee. SWEPCo expects fuel deliveries, including materialsbillings of all fixed and suppliesoperating costs, from Sabine to cease during the first quarter of 2023. Under the fuel agreements, SWEPCo’s fuel inventory and CWIP. Ifunbilled fuel costs from mining related activities were $148 million as of June 30, 2021. Also, as of June 30, 2021, SWEPCo cannot ultimately recover its investment and expenses related to the Turk Plant, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2017 Louisiana Formula Rate Filing
In April 2017, the LPSC approved an uncontested stipulation agreement that SWEPCo filed for its formula rate plan for test year 2015. The filing includedhad a net annual increase not to exceed $31over-recovered fuel balance of $17 million, excluding impacts of the February 2021 severe winter weather event, which was effective May 2017 and includes SWEPCo’s Louisiana jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant and Flint Creek Plant environmental controls which were placed in service in 2016. The net annual increase is subject to refund. In October 2017, SWEPCo filed testimony in Louisiana supporting the prudence of its environmental control investment for Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 and Flint Creek power plants. These environmental costs are subject to prudence review. A hearingfuel consumed at the LPSC is scheduled for May 2018.Pirkey Power Plant. Additional operational, reclamation and other land-related costs incurred by Sabine will be billed to SWEPCo and included in future fuel clauses. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2018 Louisiana Formula Rate Filing
In April 2018, SWEPCo filed its formula rate plan for test year 2017 with the LPSC. The filing included a net $28 million annual increase, which will be effective August 2018. The filing included a reduction in the federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform. The return of excess deferred income tax benefits to customers will be addressed in a supplemental filing and will reduce the $28 million annual increase. The increase includes SWEPCo’s jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant and Flint Creek Plant environmental controls, whose prudence review hearing is scheduled for May 2018. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2017 Kentucky Base Rate Case
In January 2018, the KPSC issued an order approving a non-unanimous settlement agreement with certain modifications resulting in an annual revenue increase of $12 million, effective January 2018, based on a 9.7% return on equity. The KPSC’s primary revenue requirement modification to the settlement agreement was a $14 million annual revenue reduction for the decrease in the corporate federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform. The KPSC approved: (a) the deferral of a total of $50 million of Rockport Plant UPA expenses for the years 2018 through 2022, with the manner and timing of recovery of the deferral to be addressed in KPCo’s next base rate case, (b) the recovery/return of 80% of certain annual PJM OATT expenses above/below the corresponding level recovered in base rates, (c) KPCo’s commitment to not file a base rate case for three years with rates effective no earlier than 2021 and (d) increased depreciation expense based upon updated Big Sandy Plant, Unit 1 depreciation rates using a 20-year depreciable life.
In February 2018, KPCo filed with the KPSC for rehearing of the January 2018 base case order and requested an additional $2.3 million of annual revenue increases related to: (a) the calculation of federal income tax expense, (b) recovery of purchased power costs associated with forced outages and (c) capital structure adjustments. Also in
February 2018, an intervenor filed for rehearing recommending that the reduced corporate federal income tax rate be reflected in lower purchased power expense related to the Rockport UPA. In February 2018, the KPSC issued an order granting rehearing of these items, with an exception for the capital structure adjustments, which was denied by the KPSC.
2016 Texas Base Rate Case
In December 2016, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT for a net increase in Texas annual revenues of $69 million based upon a 10% return on common equity. In January 2018, the PUCT issued a final order approving a net increase in Texas annual revenues of $50 million based upon a return on common equity of 9.6%, effective May 2017. The final order also included (a) approval to recover the Texas jurisdictional share of environmental investments placed in service, as of June 30, 2016, at various plants, including Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3, (b) approval of recovery of, but no return on, the Texas jurisdictional share of the net book value of Welsh Plant, Unit 2, (c) approval of $2 million additional vegetation management expenses and (d) the rejection of SWEPCo’s proposed transmission cost recovery mechanism.
As a result of the final order, in 2017 SWEPCo (a) recorded an impairment charge of $19 million, which includes $7 million associated with the lack of return on Welsh Plant, Unit 2 and $12 million related to other disallowed plant investments, (b) recognized $32 million of additional revenues, for the period of May 2017 through December 2017, that will be surcharged to customersand (c) recognized an additional $7 million of expenses consisting primarily of depreciation expense and vegetation management expense, offset by the deferral of rate case expenses. SWEPCo implemented new rates in February 2018 billings. The $32 million of additional 2017 revenues will be collected by the end of 2018. In March 2018, the PUCT clarified and corrected portions of the final order, without changing the overall decision or amounts of the rate change. This order is subject to appeal as early as the second quarter of 2018. In April 2018, SWEPCo made an income tax rate refund tariff filing which includes an annual revenue reduction of approximately $18 million to reflect the difference between rates collected under the final order and the rates that would be collected under Tax Reform. The filing did not address the return of excess deferred income tax benefits to customers.
Virginia Legislation Affecting Earnings Reviews
In 2015, amendments to Virginia law governing the regulation of investor-owned electric utilities were enacted. Under the amended Virginia law, APCo’s existing generation and distribution base rates were frozen until after the Virginia SCC ruled on APCo’s next biennial review. These amendments also precluded the Virginia SCC from performing biennial reviews of APCo’s earnings for the years 2014 through 2017.
In March 2018, new Virginia legislation impacting investor-owned utilities was enacted, effective July 1, 2018, that will: (a) on a one-time basis, require APCo to exclude $10 million of fuel expenses from the July 2018 over/under calculation, (b) reduce APCo’s base rates by $50 million annually no later than July 30, 2018, on an interim basis and subject to true-up, to reflect the lower federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform, (c) require APCo to file its next generation and distribution base rate case by March 31, 2020 using 2017, 2018 and 2019 test years (“triennial review”), (d) require an adjustment in APCo’s base rates on April 1, 2019 to reflect actual annual reductions in corporate income taxes due to Tax Reform, (e) require APCo to obtain approval from the Virginia SCC for energy efficiency programs with projected costs in the aggregate of at least $140 million over the 10-year period from July 1, 2018 through July 1, 2028 and (f) require APCo to construct and/or acquire solar generation facilities in Virginia of at least 200 MW of aggregate capacity. Triennial reviews are subject to an earnings test which provides that any over earnings may be reinvested in approved energy distribution grid transformation projects. The Virginia SCC’s triennial review of 2017-2019 APCo earnings could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
FERC Transmission Complaint - AEP’s PJM Participants
In October 2016, seven parties filed a complaint at the FERC that alleged the base return on common equity used by AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM in calculating formula transmission rates under the PJM OATT is excessive and should be reduced from 10.99% to 8.32%, effective upon the date of the complaint. In November 2017, a FERC order set the matter for hearing and settlement procedures. In March 2018, AEP’s transmission owning
subsidiaries within PJM and six of the complainants filed a settlement agreement with the FERC (the seventh complainant abstained). If approved by the FERC the settlement agreement (a) establishes a base ROE for AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM of 9.85% (10.35% inclusive of the RTO incentive adder of 0.5%), effective January 1, 2018, (b) requires AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM to provide a one-time refund of $50 million, attributable from the date of the complaint through December 31, 2017, to be credited to customer bills in the second quarter of 2018 and (c) increases the cap on the equity portion of the capital structure to 55% from 50%. As part of the settlement agreement, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM also filed updated transmission formula rates incorporating the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform, effective January 1, 2018 and providing for the amortization of the portion of the excess accumulated deferred income taxes that are not subject to the normalization method of accounting, ratably over a ten year period through credits to the federal income tax expense component of the revenue requirement. In April 2018, an ALJ accepted the interim settlement rates, pending the FERC’s consideration of the settlement, and the rates are subject to refund or surcharge, with interest.
In April 2018, certain intervenors filed comments at the FERC recommending a base ROE of 8.48% and a one-time refund of $184 million. In addition, the FERC trial staff filed comments recommending a base ROE of 8.41% and one-time refund of $175 million. Also in April 2018, another intervenor recommended the refund be calculated in accordance with the base ROE that will ultimately be approved by the FERC. Management intends to file reply comments providing further support for the 9.85% base ROE agreed to in the settlement agreement.
Management believes the $50 million refund in the settlement agreement is the best estimate of the probable liability. If the FERC orders revenue reductions in excess of the terms of the settlement agreement, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. A decision from the FERC is pending.
Modifications to AEP’s PJM Transmission Rates
In November 2016, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM filed an application at the FERC to modify the PJM OATT formula transmission rate calculation, including an adjustment to recover a tax-related regulatory asset and a shift from historical to projected expenses. In March 2017, the FERC accepted the proposed modifications effective January 1, 2017, subject to refund, and set this matter for hearing and settlement procedures. The modified PJM OATT formula rates are based on projected calendar year financial activity and projected plant balances. In December 2017, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM filed an uncontested settlement agreement with the FERC resolving all outstanding issues. In April 2018, the FERC approved the uncontested settlement agreement and rates were implemented effective January 1, 2018.
FERC Transmission Complaint - AEP’s SPP Participants
In June 2017, several parties filed a complaint at the FERC that states the base return on common equity used by AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP in calculating formula transmission rates under the SPP OATT is excessive and should be reduced from 10.7% to 8.36%, effective upon the date of the complaint. In November 2017, a FERC order set the matter for hearing and settlement procedures. Management believes its financial statements adequately address the impact of the complaint. If the FERC orders revenue reductions as a result of the complaint, including refunds from the date of the complaint filing, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Modifications to AEP’s SPP Transmission Rates
In October 2017, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP filed an application at the FERC to modify the SPP OATT formula transmission rate calculation, including an adjustment to recover a tax-related regulatory asset and a shift from historical to projected expenses. The modified SPP OATT formula rates are based on projected 2018 calendar year financial activity and projected plant balances. In December 2017, the FERC accepted the proposed modifications effective January 1, 2018, subject to refund, and set this matter for hearing and settlement procedures. If the FERC determines that any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
FERC SWEPCo Power Supply Agreements Complaint - East Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ETEC) and Northeast Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. (NTEC)
In September 2017, ETEC and NTEC filed a complaint at the FERC that states the base return on common equity used by SWEPCo in calculating their power supply formula rates is excessive and should be reduced from 11.1% to 8.41%, effective upon the date of the complaint. In November 2017, a FERC order set the matter for hearing and settlement procedures. Management believes its financial statements adequately address the impact of the complaint. If the FERC orders revenue reductions as a result of the complaint, including refunds from the date of the complaint filing, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Welsh Plant - Environmental Impact
Management currently estimates that the investment necessary to meet proposed environmental regulations through 2025 for Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 could total approximately $850 million, excluding AFUDC. As of March 31, 2018, SWEPCo had incurred costs of $399 million, including AFUDC, related to these projects. Management continues to evaluate the impact of environmental rules and related project cost estimates. As of March 31, 2018, the total net book value of Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 was $625 million, before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and CWIP.
In 2016, as approved by the APSC, SWEPCo began recovering $79 million related to the Arkansas jurisdictional share of these environmental costs, subject to prudence review in the next Arkansas filed base rate proceeding. In April 2017, the LPSC approved recovery of $131 million in investments related to its Louisiana jurisdictional share of environmental controls installed at Welsh Plant, effective May 2017. SWEPCo’s approved Louisiana jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant deferrals: (a) are $11 million, excluding $6 million of unrecognized equity as of March 31, 2018, (b) is subject to review by the LPSC, and (c) includes a WACC return on environmental investments and the related depreciation expense and taxes. In January 2018, SWEPCo received written approval from the PUCT to recover its project costs from retail customers in its 2016 Texas base rate case and is recovering these costs from wholesale customers through SWEPCo’s FERC-approved agreements. See “2016 Texas Base Rate Case” and “2017 Louisiana Formula Rate Filing” disclosures above.
If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See “Welsh Plant - Environmental Impact” section of Note 4 for additional information.
Westinghouse Electric Company Bankruptcy Filing
In March 2017, Westinghouse filed a petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Westinghouse and I&M have a number of significant ongoing contracts relating to reactor services, nuclear fuel fabrication and ongoing engineering projects. The most significant of these relate to Cook Plant fuel fabrication. As part of the reorganization, the bankruptcy court approved Westinghouse’s sale of its nuclear business to Brookfield WEC Holdings, a nonaffiliated third party. Pursuant to the sale, Brookfield will assume all of I&M’s contracts with Westinghouse. The sale is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2018.
LITIGATION
In the ordinary course of business, AEP is involved in employment, commercial, environmental and regulatory litigation. Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of these proceedings, management cannot predict the eventual resolution, timing or amount of any loss, fine or penalty. Management assesses the probability of loss for each contingency and accrues a liability for cases that have a probable likelihood of loss if the loss can be estimated. For details on the regulatory proceedings and pending litigation see Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 5 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies. Adverse results in these proceedings have the potential to reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See Note 4 – Rate Matters and Note 5 – Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies for additional information.
Rockport Plant Litigation
In July 2013, the Wilmington Trust Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against AEGCo and I&M alleging that it willwould be unlawfully burdened by the terms of the modified NSR consent decree after the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 lease expiration in December 2022. The terms of the consent decree allow the installation of environmental emission control equipment, repowering, refueling or retirement of the unit. The plaintiffs further allege that the defendants’ actions constitute breach of the lease and participation agreement. The plaintiffs seek a judgment declaring that the defendants breached the lease, must satisfy obligations related to installation of emission control equipment and indemnify the plaintiffs. The New York court granted a motion to transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. In October 2013, a motion to dismiss the case was filed on behalf of
AEGCo and I&M.
In January 2015,&M sought and were granted dismissal by the court issued an opinion and order grantingU.S. District Court for the motion in part and denying the motion in part. The court dismissedSouthern District of Ohio of certain of the plaintiffs’ claims, including the dismissal without prejudice of plaintiffs’ claims seeking compensatory damages. Several claims remained, including the claim for breach of the participation agreement and a claim alleging breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In June 2015, AEGCo and I&M filed a motion for partial judgment on the claims seeking dismissal of the breach of participation agreement claim as well as any claim for indemnification of costs associated with this case. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended complaint to add another claim under the lease and also filed a motion for partial summary judgment. In November 2015, AEGCo and I&M filed a motion to strike the plaintiffs’ motion for partial judgment and filed a motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim.
In March 2016, the court entered an opinion and order in favor of AEGCo and I&M, dismissing certain of the plaintiffs’ claims for compensatory damages, breach of contract, and dismissing claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and further dismissing plaintiffs’ claim for indemnification of costs. ByPlaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the same order, the court permitted plaintiffs to move forward with their claimsurviving claims that AEGCo and I&M failed to exercise prudent utility practices in the maintenance and operation of Rockport Plant, Unit 2. In April 2016, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all remaining claims with prejudice, and the court subsequently enteredissued a final judgment. In May 2016,The plaintiffs subsequently filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on whether AEGCo and I&M are in breach of certain contract provisions that plaintiffs allege operate to protect the plaintiffs’ residual interests in the unit and whether the trial court erred in dismissing plaintiffs’ claims that AEGCo and I&M breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.Circuit.
In April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion reversing the district court’s decisions which had dismissed certain of plaintiffs’ claims for breach of contract and remanding the case to the district court to enter summary judgment in plaintiffs’ favor consistent with that ruling. In April 2017, AEGCo and I&M filed a petition for rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which was granted. In June 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an amended opinion and judgment which reverses the district court’s dismissal of certain of the owners’ claims under the lease agreements, vacates the denial of the owners’ motion for partial summary judgment and remands the case to the district court for further proceedings. The amended opinion and judgment also affirmsaffirming the district court’s dismissal of the owners’ breach of good faith and fair dealing claim as duplicative of the breach of contract claims, and removes the instruction toreversing the district court in the original opinion to enter summary judgment in favorcourt’s dismissal of the owners.breach of contract claims and remanding the case for further proceedings.
In July 2017,Thereafter, AEP filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in the original NSR litigation, seeking to modify the consent decree to eliminate the obligation to install certain future controls at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 if AEP does not acquire ownership of that Unit, and to modify the consent decree in other respects to preserve the environmental benefits of the consent decree. In November 2017, theThe district court granted the owners’ unopposed motion to stay the lease litigation to afford time for resolution of AEP’s motion to modify the consent decree. See “Proposed ModificationThe consent decree was modified based on an agreement among the parties in July 2019. The district court’s stay of the NSRlease litigation expired in August 2020. Upon expiration of the stay, plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment, arguing that the consent decree violates the facility lease and the participation agreement and requesting that the district court enter a judgment for the plaintiffs on their breach of contract claim. AEP’s memorandum in
opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment was filed in October 2020. At the parties’ request, the district court stayed the case until April 19, 2021 to provide the parties an opportunity to resolve the case. See “Obligations under the New Source Review Litigation Consent Decree” section below for additional information.
On April 20, 2021, I&M and AEGCo reached an agreement to acquire 100% of the interests in Rockport Plant, Unit 2 for $115.5 million from certain financial institutions that own the unit through trusts established by Wilmington Trust, the nonaffiliated owner trustee of the ownership interests in the unit, with closing to occur as of the end of the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 lease in December 2022. As a result, in May 2021, at the parties request, the district court entered a stipulation and order dismissing the case without prejudice to plaintiffs asserting their claims in a re-filed action or a new action. The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and as of the closing will result in a final settlement of, and release of claims in, the lease litigation. Management believes its financial statements appropriately reflect the expected resolution of the pending litigation.
Claims Challenging Transition of American Electric Power System Retirement Plan to Cash Balance Formula
The American Electric Power System Retirement Plan (the Plan) has received a letter written on behalf of four participants (the Claimants) making a claim for additional plan benefits and purporting to advance such claims on behalf of a class. When the Plan’s benefit formula was changed in the year 2000, AEP provided a special provision for employees hired before January 1, 2001, allowing them to continue benefit accruals under the then benefit formula for a full 10 years alongside of the new cash balance benefit formula then being implemented. Employees who were hired on or after January 1, 2001 accrued benefits only under the new cash balance benefit formula. The Claimants have asserted claims that: (a) the Plan violates the requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) intended to preclude back-loading the accrual of benefits to the end of a participant’s career, (b) the Plan violates the age discrimination prohibitions of ERISA and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and (c) the company failed to provide required notice regarding the changes to the Plan. AEP has responded to the Claimants providing a reasoned explanation for why each of their claims have been denied. The denial of those claims was appealed to the AEP System Retirement Plan Appeal Committee and the Committee upheld the denial of claims. Management will continue to defend against the claims. Given that the district court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking compensatory relief as premature, and that plaintiffs have yet to present a methodology for determining or any analysis supporting any alleged damages, managementManagement is unable to determine a range of potential losses that areis reasonably possible of occurring.
Litigation Related to Ohio House Bill 6 (HB 6)
In 2019, Ohio adopted and implemented HB 6 which benefits OPCo by authorizing rate recovery for certain costs including renewable energy contracts and OVEC’s coal-fired generating units. OPCo engaged in lobbying efforts and provided testimony during the legislative process in connection with HB 6. In July 2020, an investigation led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office resulted in a federal grand jury indictment of an Ohio legislator and associates in connection with an alleged racketeering conspiracy involving the adoption of HB 6. After AEP learned of the criminal allegations against the Ohio legislator and others relating to HB 6, the Company, with assistance from outside advisors, conducted a review of the circumstances surrounding the passage of the bill. We do not believe that AEP was involved in any wrongful conduct in connection with the passage of HB 6.
In August 2020, an AEP shareholder filed a putative class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio against AEP and certain of its officers for alleged violations of securities laws. The amended complaint alleges misrepresentations or omissions by AEP regarding: (a) its alleged participation in or connection to public corruption with respect to the passage of HB 6 and (b) its regulatory, legislative, political contribution, 501(c)(4) organization contribution and lobbying activities in Ohio. The complaint seeks monetary damages, among other forms of relief. On May 10, 2021, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the securities litigation for failure to state a claim, and under the Court’s briefing schedule the motion will be fully briefed by July 26, 2021. The company will continue to defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.
In January 2021, an AEP shareholder filed a derivative action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio purporting to assert claims on behalf of AEP against certain AEP officers and directors. In February 2021, a second AEP shareholder filed a similar derivative action in the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio. In April 2021, a third AEP shareholder filed a similar derivative action in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio and a fourth AEP shareholder filed a similar derivative action in the
Supreme Court for the State of New York, Nassau County. These derivative complaints allege the officers and directors made misrepresentations and omissions similar to those alleged in the putative securities class action lawsuit filed against AEP. The derivative complaints together assert claims for: (a) breach of fiduciary duty, (b) waste of corporate assets, (c) unjust enrichment, (d) breach of duty for insider trading and (e) contribution for violations of sections 10(b) and 21D of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; and seek monetary damages and changes to AEP’s corporate governance and internal policies among other forms of relief. The first three derivative actions have been stayed pending the resolution of the motion to dismiss the securities litigation. The fourth has been stayed until such time as the court determines to lift the stay. The company will continue to defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.
On March 1, 2021, AEP received a litigation demand letter from counsel representing a purported AEP shareholder. The litigation demand letter is directed to the Board of Directors of AEP and contains factual allegations involving HB 6 that are generally consistent with those in the derivative litigation filed in state and federal court. The letter demands, among other things, that the AEP Board undertake an independent investigation into alleged legal violations by directors and officers, and that, following such investigation, the Company commence a civil action for breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims and take appropriate disciplinary action against those individuals who allegedly harmed the company. The shareholder that sent the letter has agreed that AEP and the AEP Board may defer consideration of the litigation demand until the resolution of the motion to dismiss the securities litigation. The AEP Board will act in response to the letter as appropriate. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.
In May 2021, AEP received a subpoena from the SEC’s Division of Enforcement seeking various documents, including documents relating to the benefits to AEP from the passage of HB 6 and documents relating to AEP’s financial processes and controls. AEP is cooperating fully with the SEC’s subpoena. Although we cannot predict the outcome of the SEC’s investigation, we do not believe the results of this inquiry will have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUES
AEP has a substantial capital investment program and is incurringincurs additional operational costs to comply with environmental control requirements. Additional investments and operational changes will need to be made in response to existing and anticipated requirements such as new CAA requirements to reduce emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants,generation and in response to rules governing the beneficial use and disposal of coal combustion by-products, clean water rules and renewal permits for certain water discharges.
AEP is engaged in litigation about environmental issues, was notified of potential responsibility for the clean-up of contaminated sites and incurred costs for disposal of SNF and future decommissioning of the nuclear units. AEP, along with various industry groups, affected states and other parties challenged some of the Federal EPA requirements in court. Management is also engaged in the development of possible future requirements including the items discussed below. Management believes that further analysis and better coordination of these environmental requirements would facilitate planning and lower overall compliance costs while achieving the same environmental goals.
AEP will seek recovery of expenditures for pollution control technologies and associated costs from customers through rates in regulated jurisdictions. Environmental rules could result in accelerated depreciation, impairment of assets or regulatory disallowances. If AEP is unable tocannot recover the costs of environmental compliance, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Environmental Controls Impact on the Generating Fleet
The rules and proposed environmental controls discussed below will have a material impact on theAEP System generating units in the AEP System.units. Management continues to evaluate the impact of these rules, project scope and technology available to achieve compliance. As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, the AEP System had a totalowned generating capacity of approximately 25,60024,700 MWs, of which approximately 13,50012,100 MWs arewere coal-fired. Management continues to refine the cost estimates of complying with these rules and other impacts of the environmental proposals on the fossil generating facilities.generation. Based upon management estimates, AEP’s future investment to meet these existing and proposed requirements ranges from approximately $2.1 billion$350 million to $2.7 billion$700 million through 2025.2027.
The cost estimates will change depending on the timing of implementation and whether the Federal EPA provides flexibility in finalizing proposed rules or revising certain existing requirements. The cost estimates will also change based on: (a) the states’ implementation of these regulatory programs, including the potential for state implementation plans (SIPs) or federal implementation plans (FIPs)rules that impose more stringent standards, (b) additional rulemaking activities in response to court decisions, (c) the actual performance of the pollution control technologies installed, on the units, (d) changes in costs for new pollution controls, (e) new generating technology developments, (f) total MWs of capacity retired and replaced, including the type and amount of such replacement capacity and (g) other factors. In addition, management is continuingcontinues to evaluate the economic feasibility of environmental investments on both regulated and competitive plants.
The table below representsObligations under the plants or units of plants retired in 2016 and 2015 with a remaining net book value. As of March 31, 2018, the net book value before cost of removal, including related materials and supplies inventory and CWIP balances, of the units listed below was approved for recovery, except for $218 million. Management is seeking or will seek recovery of the remaining net book value of $218 million in future rate proceedings.

In January 2017, Dayton Power and Light Company announced the future retirement of the 2,308 MW Stuart Plant, Units 1-4. The retirement is scheduled for June 2018. Stuart Plant, Units 1-4 are operated by Dayton Power and Light Company and are jointly owned by AGR and nonaffiliated entities. AGR owns 600 MWs of the Stuart Plant, Units 1-4. As of March 31, 2018, AGR’s net book value of the Stuart Plant, Units 1-4 was zero.
To the extent existing generation assets are not recoverable, it could materially reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Proposed Modification of the NSRNew Source Review Litigation Consent Decree
In 2007, the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio approved a consent decree between the AEP subsidiaries in the eastern area of the AEP System and the Department of Justice, the Federal EPA, eight northeastern states and other interested parties to settle claims that the AEP subsidiaries violated the NSR provisions of the CAA when they undertook various equipment repair and replacement projects over a period of nearly 20 years. The consent decree’s terms include installation of environmental control equipment on certain generating units, a declining cap on SO2 and NOxX emissions from the AEP System and various mitigation projects.
In July 2017, AEP filed a motion with The consent decree has been modified six times, for various reasons, most recently in 2020. All of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio seeking to modifyenvironmental control equipment required by the consent decree to eliminate an obligation to install future controls at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 if AEP does not acquire ownership of that unit, and to modify the consent decree in other respects to preserve the environmental benefits of the consent decree. The district court granted AEP’s request to delay the deadline to install SCR technology at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 until June 2020. AEP also proposed to retire Conesville Plant, Units 5 and 6 by December 31, 2022 and to retire one unit at Rockport Plant by December 31, 2028. Plaintiffs opposed AEP’s motion.has been installed.
In January 2018, AEP filed a supplemental motion proposing to install the SCR at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 and achieve the final SO2 emission cap applicable to the plant under the consent decree by the end of 2020, before the expiration of the initial lease term. Responsive filings were filed in February 2018 by parties opposing AEP’s proposed
modifications to the consent decree. AEP was directed to file a detailed statement of the specific relief requested to address the changed circumstances at Rockport, and the opposing parties were provided with an opportunity to respond thereto. The motion remains pending and a decision from the court is expected in 2018.
AEP is seeking to modify the consent decree as a means to resolve or substantially narrow the issues in pending litigation with the owners of Rockport Plant, Unit 2. See “Rockport Plant Litigation” in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations and in Note 5 - Commitments, Guarantees and Contingencies for additional information.
Clean Air Act Requirements
The CAA establishes a comprehensive program to protect and improve the nation’s air quality and control sources of air emissions. The states implement and administer many of these programs and could impose additional or more stringent requirements. The primary regulatory programs that continue to drive investments in AEP’s existing generating units include: (a) periodic revisions to the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)NAAQS and the development of SIPs to achieve any more stringent standards;standards, (b) implementation of the regional haze program by the states and the Federal EPA;EPA, (c) regulation of hazardous air pollutant emissions under the Mercury and Air Toxics Standards (MATS) Rule;MATS, (d) implementation and review of the Cross-State Air Pollution Rule (CSAPR), a FIP designed to eliminate significant contributions from sources in upwind states to nonattainment or maintenance areas in downwind statesCSAPR and (e) the Federal EPA’s regulation of greenhouse gas emissions from fossil-fueled electric generating unitsfossil generation under Section 111 of the CAA.
In March 2017, President Trump issued a series of executive orders designed to allow the Federal EPA to review and take appropriate action to revise or rescind regulatory requirements that place undue burdens on affected entities, including specific orders directing the Federal EPA to review rules that unnecessarily burden the production and use of energy. The Federal EPA published notice and an opportunity to comment on how to identify such requirements and what steps can be taken to reduce or eliminate such burdens. Future changes that result from this effort may affect AEP’s compliance plans.
Notable developments in significant CAA regulatory requirements affecting AEP’s operations are discussed in the following sections.
NAAQSNational Ambient Air Quality Standards
The Federal EPA issued new, more stringentperiodically reviews and revises the NAAQS for SO2criteria pollutants under the CAA. Revisions tend to increase the stringency of the standards, which in 2010,turn may require AEP to make investments in pollution control equipment at existing generating units, or, since most units are already well controlled, to make changes in how units are dispatched and operated. Most recently, the Biden administration has indicated that it is likely to revisit the NAAQS for ozone and PM, in 2012 and ozone in 2015; the existing standards for NO2which were retained after reviewleft unchanged by the Federal EPA in 2018. Implementation of these standards is underway. States are still in the process of evaluating the attainment status and need for additional control measures in order to attain and maintain the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. In December 2017, the Federal EPA published final designations for certain areas’ compliance with the 2010 SO2 NAAQS. States may develop additional requirements for AEP’s facilities as a result of these designations. In April 2017, the Federal EPA requested a stay of proceedings in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit where challenges to the 2015 ozone standard are pending, to allow reconsideration of that standard by the new administration. The Federal EPA initially announced a one-year delay in the designation of ozone non-attainment areas, but withdrew that decision. In December 2017, the Federal EPA issued a notice of data availability and requested public comment on recommended designations for compliance with the 2015 ozone standard. In March 2018, the Federal EPA responded to additional data regarding certain areas submitted by Texas. The Federal EPA anticipates completing the designations process within 120 days of providing notice to the states. The Federal EPA has also issued information to assist the states in developing plans that address their obligations under the interstate transport provisions of the CAA. State implementation plans for the 2015 ozone standard are due in October 2018.prior administration following its review. Management cannot currently predict the nature, stringencyif any changes to either standard are likely or timing of additional requirements for AEP’s facilities based on the outcome of these activities.what such changes may be, but will continue to monitor this issue and any future rulemakings.
Regional Haze
The Federal EPA issued a Clean Air Visibility Rule (CAVR), detailing how the CAA’s requirement that certain in 2005, which could require power plants and other facilities to install best available retrofit technology (BART) willto address regional haze in federal parks and other protected areas. BART requirements apply to facilities built between 1962 and 1977 that emit more than 250 tons per year of certain pollutants in specific industrial categories, including power plants. CAVR will beis implemented by the states, through SIPs, or if SIPs are not adequate or are not developed on schedule,by the Federal EPA, through FIPs. In January 2017, the Federal EPA revised the rules governing submission of SIPs to implement the visibility programs, including a provision that postpones the due date for the next comprehensive SIP revisions until 2021. Petitions for review of the final rule revisions have been filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.
The Federal EPA proposed disapproval ofArkansas has an approved regional haze SIPsSIP and all of SWEPCo's affected units are in a few states, including Arkansas and Texas. In March 2012, the Federal EPA disapproved certain portions of the Arkansas regional haze SIP. In April 2015, the Federal EPA published a proposed FIP to replace the disapproved portions, including revised BART determinations for the Flint Creek Plant that were consistentcompliance with the environmental controls under construction. relevant requirements.
In September 2016, the Federal EPA published a final FIP that retains its BART determinations, but accelerates the schedule for implementation of certain required controls. The final rule is being challenged in the courts. In March 2017, the Federal EPA filed a motion that was granted by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit to hold the case in abeyance for 90 days to allow the parties to engage in settlement negotiations. Arkansas issued a proposed SIP revision to allow sources to participate in the CSAPR ozone season program in lieu of the source-specific NOx BART requirements in the FIP, and the Federal EPA has approved that SIP revision. Arkansas issued a second proposal to revise the SO2 BART determinations, and the public comment period on that action has closed. The Federal EPA has asked the Eighth Circuit to continue to hold litigation in abeyance to facilitate settlement discussions. Arkansas and other affected parties filed motions to stay the compliance deadlines pending further action from the Federal EPA and the motion was granted. Management cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.
In January 2016,Texas, the Federal EPA disapproved portions of the Texas regional haze SIP and promulgated a final FIP that did not include any BART determinations. That rule was challenged and stayed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. The parties engaged in a settlement discussion but were unable to reach an agreement. In March 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted partial remand of the final rule. In January 2017, the Federal EPA proposed source-specific BART requirements for SO2 from sources in Texas, including Welsh Plant, Unit 1. Management submitted comments on the proposal and engaged in discussions with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) regarding the development of an alternative to source-specific BART. In September 2017, the Federal EPA issued a final rule withdrawing Texas from the annual CSAPR budget programs and reaffirming CSAPR as a BART alternative. The Federal EPA then issued a separate rule finalizing the regional haze requirements for electric generating units in Texas and confirmed TCEQ’s determination that no new PM limitations are required for regional haze. The Federal EPA also finalized a FIP that allows participation in the CSAPR ozone season program to satisfy the NOx Xregional haze obligations for electric
generating units.units in Texas. Additionally, the Federal EPA finalized an intrastate SO2 emissions trading program based on CSAPR allowance allocations as an alternativeallocations. Legal challenges to source-specific SO2 requirements. The proposed source-specific approach called for a wet FGD system to be installed on Welsh Plant, Unit 1. The opportunity to use emissions trading to satisfy the regional haze requirements for NOx and SO2 at AEP’s affected generating units provides greater flexibility and lower cost compliance options than the original proposal. A challenge to the FIP has been filedthese various rulemakings are pending in both the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit by various intervenors. The Federal EPA and petitioners filed a joint motion to hold the case in abeyance pending the Federal EPA’s review of challengers’ petition for reconsideration. In March 2018, that motion was granted. Management supports the intrastate trading program contained in the FIP as a compliance alternative to source-specific controls.
In June 2012, the Federal EPA published revisions to the regional haze rules to allow states participating in the CSAPR trading programs to use those programs in place of source-specific BART for SO2 and NOx emissions based on its determination that CSAPR results in greater visibility improvements than source-specific BART in the CSAPR states. The rule was challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. In March 2018,Management cannot predict the U.S. Courtoutcome of Appeals forthat litigation, although management supports the Districtintrastate trading program as a compliance alternative to source-specific controls and has intervened in the litigation in support of Columbia Circuit affirmed the Federal EPA rule.EPA.
Cross-State Air Pollution Rule
CSAPR
In 2011, the Federal EPA issued CSAPR as a replacement for the CAIR,is a regional trading program designed to address interstate transport of emissions that contributed significantly to downwind nonattainmentnon-attainment with the 1997 ozone and PM NAAQS. Certain revisions to the rule were finalized in 2012. CSAPR relies on newly-created SO2 and NOx Xallowances and individual state budgets to compel further emission reductions from electric utility generating units. Interstate trading of allowances is allowed on a restricted sub-regional basis.
Numerous affected entities,In January 2021, the Federal EPA finalized a revised CSAPR rule, which substantially reduces the ozone season NOX budgets in 2021-2024. Management believes it can meet the requirements of the rule in the near term, and is evaluating its compliance options for later years, when the budgets are further reduced.
Climate Change, CO2 Regulation and Energy Policy
In 2019, the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule established a framework for states and other parties filed petitions to review the CSAPRadopt standards of performance for utility boilers based on heat rate improvements for such boilers. However, in January 2021, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The court stayed implementation ofD.C. Circuit vacated the rule. Following extended proceedings in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia CircuitACE rule and the U.S. Supreme Court, but while the litigation was still pending, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit grantedremanded it to the Federal EPA’s motionEPA. Management is unable to lift the stay and allow Phase I of CSAPR to take effect on January 1, 2015 and Phase II to take effect on January 1, 2017. In July 2015, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit found thatpredict how the Federal EPA over-controlled the SO2 and/or NOx budgets of 14 states. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded the rulewill respond to the Federal EPA to timely revise the rule consistent with the court’s opinion while CSAPR remains in place.remand.
In October 2016, a final rule was issued to address the remand and to incorporate additional changes necessary to address the 2008 ozone standard. The final rule significantly reduces ozone season budgets in many states and discounts the value of banked CSAPR ozone season allowances beginning with the 2017 ozone season. The rule has been challenged in the courts and petitions for administrative reconsideration have been filed. In March 2018, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied the petitions and other challenges to the rule. Management has been complying with the more stringent ozone season budgets while these petitions were pending. In a related case, other parties challenged in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit a final rule withdrawing Texas from the CSAPR annual program and reaffirming that compliance with CSAPR remained better than compliance with BART. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit granted a motion in March 2018 to hold the case in abeyance until completion of the Federal EPA’s review of pending petitions for reconsideration of the Texas regional haze rule discussed above.
Mercury and Other Hazardous Air Pollutants (HAPs) Regulation
In 2012, the Federal EPA issued a rule addressing a broad range of HAPs from coal and oil-fired power plants. The rule establishes unit-specific emission rates for units burning coal on a 30-day rolling average basis for mercury, PM (as a surrogate for particles of nonmercury metals) and hydrogen chloride (as a surrogate for acid gases). In addition, the rule proposes work practice standards, such as boiler tune-ups, for controlling emissions of organic HAPs and dioxin/furans. Compliance was required within three years. Management obtained administrative extensions for up to one year at several units to facilitate the installation of controls or to avoid a serious reliability problem.
In April 2014, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied all of the petitions for review of the April 2012 final rule. Industry trade groups and several states filed petitions for further review in the U.S. Supreme Court and the court granted those petitions in November 2014.
In June 2015, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed the decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit remanded the MATS rule for further proceedings consistent with the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that the Federal EPA was unreasonable in refusing to consider costs in its determination whether to regulate emissions of HAPs from power plants. The Federal EPA issued notice of a supplemental finding concluding that it is appropriate and necessary to regulate HAP emissions from coal-fired and oil-fired units. Management submitted comments on the proposal. In April 2016, the Federal EPA affirmed its determination that regulation of HAPs from electric generating units is necessary and appropriate. Petitions for review of the Federal EPA’s April 2016 determination have been filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. Oral argument was scheduled for May 2017, but in April 2017 the Federal EPA requested that oral argument be postponed to facilitate its review of the rule. The rule remains in effect.
Climate Change, CO2 Regulation and Energy Policy
The majority of the states where AEP has generating facilities passed legislation establishing renewable energy, alternative energy and/or energy efficiency requirements that can assist in reducing carbon emissions. Management is taking steps to comply with these requirements, including increasing wind and solar installations and power purchases and broadening the AEP System’s portfolio of energy efficiency programs.
In October 2015, the Federal EPA published the final standards for new, modified and reconstructed fossil fuel fired steam generating units and combustion turbines, and final guidelines for the development of state plans to regulate CO2 emissions from existing sources. The final standard for new combustion turbines is 1,000 pounds of CO2 per MWh and the final standard for new fossil steam units is 1,400 pounds of CO2 per MWh. Reconstructed turbines are subject to the same standard as new units and no standard for modified combustion turbines was issued. Reconstructed fossil steam units are subject to a standard of 1,800 pounds of CO2 per MWh for larger units and 2,000 pounds of CO2 per MWh for smaller units. Modified fossil steam units will be subject to a site specific standard no lower than the standards that would be applied if the units were reconstructed.
The final emissions guidelines for existing sources, known as the Clean Power Plan (CPP), are based on a series of declining emission rates that are implemented beginning in 2022 through 2029. The final emission rate is 771 pounds of CO2 per MWh for existing natural gas combined cycle units and 1,305 pounds of CO2 per MWh for existing fossil steam units in 2030 and thereafter. The Federal EPA also developed a set of rate-based and mass-based state goals.
The Federal EPA also published proposed “model” rules that could be adopted by the states that would allow sources within “trading ready” state programs to trade, bank or sell allowances or credits issued by the states. These rules would also be the basis for any federal plan issued by the Federal EPA in a state that fails to submit or receive approval for a state plan. In June 2016, the Federal EPA issued a separate proposal for the Clean Energy Incentive Program (CEIP) that was included in the model rules.
The final rules are being challenged in the courts. In February 2016, the U.S. Supreme Court issued a stay on the final CPP, including all of the deadlines for submission of initial or final state plans. The stay will remain in effect until a final decision is issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit and the U.S. Supreme Court considers any petition for review. In April 2017, the Federal EPA withdrew its previously issued proposals for model trading rules and a CEIP.
In March 2017, the Federal EPA filed in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit notice of: (a) an Executive Order from the President of the United States titled “Promoting Energy Independence and Economic Growth” directing the Federal EPA to review the CPP and related rules; (b) the Federal EPA’s initiation of a review of the CPP and (c) a forthcoming rulemaking related to the CPP consistent with the Executive Order, if the Federal EPA determines appropriate. In this same filing, the Federal EPA also presented a motion to hold the litigation in abeyance until 30 days after the conclusion of review of any resulting rulemaking. The District of Columbia Circuit granted the Federal EPA’s motion in part and has requested periodic status reports. In October 2017, the Federal EPA issued a proposed rule repealingrevising the CPPstandards for new sources and withdrawingdetermined that partial carbon capture and storage is not the legal memoranda issued in connection with the rule. The Federal EPA has re-examined its legal interpretation of the “bestbest system of emission reduction”reduction because it is not available throughout the U.S. and found that based on the statutory text, legislative history, use of similar terms elsewhereis not cost-effective. That rule has not been finalized. Management continues to actively monitor these rulemaking activities.
While no federal regulatory requirements to reduce CO2 emissions are in the CAA and its own historic implementation of Section 111 that a narrower interpretation of the term limits it to those designs, processes, control technologies and other systems that can be applied directly to or at the source. Since the primary systems relied on in the CPP are not consistent with that interpretation, the Federal EPA proposes that the rule be withdrawn. The comment period on the proposed repeal has been extended to April 2018. In December 2017, the Federal EPA issued an advanced notice of proposed rulemaking seeking information that should be considered by the Federal EPA in developing guidelines for state programs. Management is actively monitoring these rulemakings and participating in the development of any new guidelines.
place, AEP has taken action to reduce and offset CO2 emissions from its generating fleet andfleet. AEP expects CO2 emissions from its operations to continue to decline due to the retirement of some of its coal-fired generation units, and actions taken to diversify the generation fleet and increase energy efficiency where there is regulatory support for such activities. The majority of the states where AEP has generating facilities passed legislation establishing renewable energy, alternative energy and/or energy efficiency requirements that can assist in reducing carbon emissions. In April 2020, Virginia enacted clean energy legislation to allow the state to participate in the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative, require the retirement of all fossil-fueled generation by 2045 and require 100% renewable energy to be provided to Virginia customers by 2050. Management is taking steps to comply with these requirements, including increasing wind and solar installations, purchasing renewable power and broadening AEP System’s portfolio of energy efficiency programs.
In February 2018,2021, AEP announced new intermediate and long-term CO2 emission reduction goals, based on the output
of the company’s integrated resource plans, which take into account economics, customer demand, regulations, and grid reliability and resiliency, regulations and reflect the company’s current business strategy. The intermediate goal is a 60%an 80% reduction from 2000 CO2 emission levels from AEP generating facilities by 2030; the long-term goal is an 80% reduction ofnet-zero CO2 emissions from AEP generating facilities from 2000 levels by 2050. AEP’s total projectedestimated CO2 emissions in 2018 are2020 were approximately 9044 million metric tons, a 46%73% reduction from AEP’s 2000 CO2 emissions. AEP has made significant progress in reducing CO2 emissions of approximately 167 million metric tons.from its power generation fleet and expects its emissions to continue to decline. Technological advances, including energy storage, will determine how quickly AEP can achieve zero emissions while continuing to provide reliable, affordable power for customers.
Federal and state legislation or regulations that mandate limits on the emission of CO2 could result in significant increases in capital expenditures and operating costs, which in turn, could lead to increased liquidity needs and higher financing costs. Excessive costs to comply with future legislation or regulations mighthave led to the announcement of early plant closures and could force AEP to close someadditional coal-fired generation facilities earlier than their estimated useful life. If AEP is unable to recover the costs of its investments, it would reduce future net income and could lead to possible impairment of assets.cash flows and impact financial condition.
Coal Combustion Residual Rule
In April 2015, theThe Federal EPA published a finalEPA’s CCR rule to regulateregulates the disposal and beneficial re-use of coal combustion residuals (CCR),CCR, including fly ash and bottom ash generated atcreated from coal-fired electric generating units and also FGD gypsum generated at some coal-fired plants. The final rule has been challenged in the courts.
The final rule became effective in October 2015. CCR are regulated as non-hazardous solid wastes and facilities managing CCR must meet new minimum federal solid waste management standards. The rule applies to newactive and existing activeinactive CCR landfills and CCR surface impoundments at operatingfacilities of active electric utility or independent power production facilities.producers.
In August 2020, the Federal EPA revised the CCR rule to include a requirement that unlined CCR storage ponds cease operations and initiate closure by April 11, 2021. The revised rule imposes constructionprovides two options that allow facilities to extend the date by which they must cease receipt of coal ash and operating obligations,close the ponds.
The first option provides an extension to cease receipt of CCR no later than October 15, 2023 for most units, and October 15, 2024 for a narrow subset of units; however, the Federal EPA’s grant of such an extension will be based upon a satisfactory demonstration of the need for additional time to develop alternative ash disposal capacity and will be limited to the soonest timeframe technically feasible to cease receipt of CCR. Additionally, each request must undergo formal review, including location restrictions, liner criteria, structural integrity requirementspublic comments, and be approved by the Federal EPA. AEP filed applications for impoundments, operating criteriaadditional time to develop alternative disposal capacity at the following plants:

The IURC and MPSC authorized recovery of the Tanners Creek Plant regulatory asset over the useful life of Rockport Plant, Unit 1 in 2015 and 2014, respectively.
In December 2016,2020, APCo filed requests with the U.S. Congress passed legislation authorizing statesVirginia SCC and WVPSC to submit programsobtain the regulatory approvals necessary to regulateimplement CCR and ELG compliance plans and seek recovery of the estimated $240 million investment for the Amos and Mountaineer plants. In July 2021, a Virginia Senior Hearing Examiner recommended that the Virginia SCC deny, at this time, APCo’s request for approval of the ELG investments at the Amos and Mountaineer Plants. The judge also recommended that if the Virginia SCC ultimately does not grant APCo approval of the ELG investments, the Virginia SCC should delay consideration of the reasonableness and prudency of previously incurred ELG costs until a future case. Intervenors in Virginia and West Virginia along with the Virginia Senior Hearing Examiner recommended that only the CCR-related investments be constructed at Amos and Mountaineer, which could cause APCo to close these generating facilities at the end of 2028. If any of APCo’s CCR/ELG costs are not approved for recovery, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See “APCo and WPCo Rate Matters” section of Note 4 for additional information.
In December 2020 and February 2021, WPCo and KPCo filed requests with the WVPSC and KPSC, respectively, to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to implement CCR and ELG compliance plans and seek recovery of the estimated $132 million investment for the Mitchell Plant that would allow the plant to continue operating through 2040. Within those requests, WPCo and KPCo also filed a $25 million alternative to implement only the CCR-related investments with the WVPSC and KPSC, respectively, which would allow the Mitchell Plant to continue operating only through 2028. In May 2021, intervenors in Kentucky and West Virginia submitted testimony with recommendations that only the CCR-related investments be constructed at the Mitchell Plant. In July 2021, the KPSC issued an order approving the CCR only alternative and rejecting the full CCR and ELG compliance plan. As of June 30, 2021, the total of the Mitchell Plant CCR and ELG investment balances in CWIP, was $2 million and $4 million, respectively, split equally between KPCo and WPCo. If any of the CCR and ELG compliance plan costs are not approved for recovery and/or the retirement date of the Mitchell Plant is accelerated to 2028 without
commensurate cost recovery, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. See “KPCo Rate Matters” section of Note 4 for additional information.
The second option is a retirement option, which provides a generating facility an extended operating time without developing alternative CCR disposal. Under the retirement option, a generating facility would have until October 17, 2023 to cease operation and to close CCR storage ponds 40 acres or less in size, or through October 17, 2028 for facilities with CCR storage ponds greater than 40 acres in size. Pursuant to this option, AEP informed the Federal EPA of its intent to approve such programs if they are no less stringent thanretire the minimum federal standards.

AEP may also enforce compliance with the minimum standards until a state program is approved or if states fail to adopt their own programs. In September 2017, the Federal EPA granted industry petitions to reconsider the CCR rule and asked that litigation regarding the rule be held in abeyance. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit heard oral argument in November 2017. In March 2018, the Federal EPA issued a proposed rule to modify certain provisions of the solid waste management standards and provide additional flexibility to facilities regulated under approved state programs. The comment period is open until the end of April 2018. Management supports the adoption of more flexible compliance alternatives subject to the Federal EPA or state oversight.
Other utilities and industrial sources have been engaged in litigation with environmental advocacy groups who claim that releases of contaminants from wells, CCR units, pipelines and other facilities to ground waters that have a hydrologic connection to a surface water body represents an “unpermitted discharge” under the Clean Water Act. The Federal EPA has opened a rulemaking docket to solicit information to determine whether it should provide additional clarification of the scope of Clean Water Act permitting requirements for discharges to ground water. Comments are due in May 2018. Management is unable to predict the outcome of these cases on the Federal EPA’s rulemaking, but they could impose significant additional costs on AEP’s facilities.
Because AEP currently uses surface impoundments and landfills to manage CCR materials at generating facilities,incur significant costs will be incurred to upgrade or close and replace these existing facilities at some pointsurface impoundments and landfills used to manage CCR and to conduct any required remedial actions. Under the retirement option above, AEP may need to recover remaining depreciation and estimated closure costs associated with retiring plants over a shorter period. If AEP cannot ultimately recover the costs of environmental compliance and/or the remaining depreciation and estimated closure costs associated with retiring plants in a timely manner, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Closure and post-closure costs have been included in ARO in accordance with the requirements in the future as the new rulefinal rule. Additional ARO revisions will occur on a site-by-site basis if groundwater monitoring activities conclude that corrective actions are required to mitigate groundwater impacts, which could include costs to remove ash from some unlined units.
If removal of ash is implemented. Management recorded a $95 million increaserequired without providing similar assurances of cost recovery in asset retirement obligationsregulated jurisdictions, it would impose significant additional operating costs on AEP, which could lead to increased financing costs and liquidity needs. Other units in 2015 primarily due to the publication of the final rule.Virginia, Ohio, West Virginia and Kentucky have already been closed in place in accordance with state law programs. Management will continue to evaluate the rule’s impactparticipate in rulemaking activities and make adjustments based on operations.new federal and state requirements affecting its ash disposal units.
Clean Water Act (CWA) Regulations
In 2014, theThe Federal EPA issued a finalEPA’s ELG rule setting forth standards for existing power plants that is intended to reduce mortality of aquatic organisms pinned against a plant’s cooling water intake screen (impingement) or entrained in the cooling water. Entrainment is when small fish, eggs or larvae are drawn into the cooling water system and affected by heat, chemicals or physical stress. The final rule affects all plants withdrawing more than two million gallons of cooling water per day. The rule offers seven technology options to comply with the impingement standard and requires site-specific studies to determine appropriate entrainment compliance measures atgenerating facilities withdrawing more than 125 million gallons per day. Additional requirements may be imposed as a result of consultation with other federal agencies to protect threatened and endangered species and their habitats. Facilities with existing closed cycle recirculating cooling systems, as defined in the rule, are not expected to require any technology changes. Facilities subject to both the impingement standard and site-specific entrainment studies will typically be given at least three years to conduct and submit the results of those studies to the permit agency. Compliance timeframes will then be established by the permit agency through each facility’s NPDES permit for installation of any required technology changes, as those permits are renewed over the next five to eight years. Petitions for review of the final rule were filed by industry and environmental groups and are currently pending in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.
In addition, the Federal EPA developed revised effluent limitation guidelines for electricity generating facilities. A final rule was issued in November 2015. The final rule establishes limits on FGD wastewater, fly ash and bottom ash transport water and flue gas mercury control wastewater, which are to be imposed as soon as possible after November 2018 and no later than December 2023. These new requirements will be implemented through each facility’s wastewater discharge permit. TheA recent revision to the ELG rule, has been challengedpublished in the U.S. CourtOctober 2020, establishes additional options for reusing and discharging small volumes of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. In March 2017, industry associations filed a petition for reconsideration of the rule with the Federal EPA. In April 2017, the Federal EPA granted reconsideration of the rule and issued a stay of the rule’s future compliance deadlines, which has now expired. In April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit granted a stay of the litigation for 120 days. In June 2017, the Federal EPA also issued a proposal to temporarily postpone certain compliance deadlines in the rule. A final rule revising the compliance deadlines for FGD wastewater and bottom ash transport water, provides an exception for retiring units and extends the compliance deadline to bea date as soon as possible beginning one year after the rule was published but no earlierlater than 2020 was issued in September 2017.December 2025. Management submitted comments supporting the proposed postponement. Management continues to assesshas assessed technology additions and retrofits to comply with the rule and the impacts of the Federal EPA’s recent actions on facilities’ wastewater discharge permitting. permitting for FGD wastewater and bottom ash transport water. Permit modifications for affected facilities were filed in January 2021 that reflect the outcome of that assessment. We continue to work with state agencies to finalize permit terms and conditions.
Impact of Environmental Regulation on Coal-Fired Generation
Compliance with extensive environmental regulations requires significant capital investment in environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment, emission fees, disposal costs and permits. Management continuously evaluates cost estimates of complying with these regulations which may result in a decision to retire coal-fired generating facilities earlier than their currently estimated useful lives.
Previously, management retired or announced early closure plans for Welsh Unit 2, Oklaunion Power Station, Dolet Hills Power Station and Northeastern Plant Unit 3.
The table below summarizes the net book value, as of June 30, 2021, of generating facilities retired or planned for early retirement:

In June 2015, the Federal EPA and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers jointly issued a final rule to clarify the scope of the regulatory definition of “waters of the United States” in light of recent U.S. Supreme Court cases. The CWA provides for federal jurisdiction over “navigable waters” defined as “the waters of the United States.” This jurisdictional definition applies to all CWA programs, potentially impacting generation, transmission and distribution permitting and compliance requirements. Among those programs are permits for wastewater and storm water discharges, permits for impacts to wetlands and water bodies and oil spill prevention planning. The final definition continues to recognize traditional navigable waters of the U.S. as jurisdictional as well as certain exclusions. The rule also contains a number of new specific definitions and criteria for determining whether certain other waters are jurisdictional because of a “significant nexus.” Management believes that clarity and efficiency in the permitting process is needed. Management remains concerned that the rule introduces new concepts and could subject more of AEP’s operations to CWA jurisdiction, thereby increasing the time and complexity of permitting. The final rule is being challenged in both courts of appeal and district courts. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit granted a nationwide stay of the rule pending jurisdictional determinations. In February 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued a decision holding that it has exclusive jurisdiction to decide the challenges to the “waters of the United States” rule. Industry, state and related associations filed petitions for a rehearing of the jurisdictional decision. In April 2016, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit denied the petitions. In January 2017, the decision was appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court, which granted certiorari to review the jurisdictional issue. Oral argument was heard in October 2017. In January 2018, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that challenges to the definition of “waters of the United States” must be filed in the federal district court, and remanded the case to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit with directions to dismiss the petitions for review for lack of jurisdiction. The stay has been lifted and the Sixth Circuit case has been dismissed. Challenges to the rule will proceed in federal district courts.
In March 2017, the Federal EPA published a notice of intent to review the rule and provide an advanced notice of a proposed rulemaking consistent with the Executive Order of the President of the United States directing the Federal EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to review and rescind or revise the rule. In June 2017, the agencies signed a notice of proposed rule to rescind the definition of “waters of the United States” that was adopted in June 2015, and to re-codify the definition of that phrase as it existed immediately prior to that action. This action would effectively retain the status quo until a new rule is adopted by the agencies. The Federal EPA and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers also finalized a new rule to extend the applicability date of the 2015 rule by two years before the nationwide stay issued by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit was lifted. Challenges to the applicability date rule have been filed by third parties in several federal district courts. Management will participate in further rulemaking activities.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
SEGMENTS
AEP’s primary business is the generation, transmission and distribution of electricity. Within its Vertically Integrated Utilities segment, AEP centrally dispatches generation assets and manages its overall utility operations on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight. Intersegment sales and transfers are generally based on underlying contractual arrangements and agreements.
AEP’s reportable segments and their related business activities are outlined below:
Vertically Integrated Utilities
•Generation, transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEGCo, APCo, I&M, KGPCo, KPCo, PSO, SWEPCo and WPCo.
Transmission and Distribution Utilities
•Transmission and distribution of electricity for sale to retail and wholesale customers through assets owned and operated by AEP Texas and OPCo.
•OPCo purchases energy and capacity at auction to serve SSOstandard service offer customers and provides transmission and distribution services for all connected load.
AEP Transmission Holdco
•Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEPTCo. These investments have FERC-approved returns on equity.ROE.
•Development, construction and operation of transmission facilities through investments in AEP’s transmission-only joint ventures. These investments have PUCT-approved or FERC-approved returns on equity.ROE.
Generation & Marketing
Competitive generation in ERCOT•Contracted renewable energy investments and PJM.management services.
•Marketing, risk management and retail activities in ERCOT, MISO, PJM SPP and MISO.SPP.
Contracted renewable energy investments and management services.•Competitive generation in PJM.
The remainder of AEP’s activities isare presented as Corporate and Other. While not considered a reportable segment, Corporate and Other primarily includes the purchasing of receivables from certain AEP utility subsidiaries, Parent’s guarantee revenue received from affiliates, investment income, interest income and interest expense and other nonallocated costs.
The following discussion of AEP’s results of operations by operating segment includes an analysis of Gross Margin, which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Gross Margin includes Total Revenues less the costs of Fuel and Other Consumables Used for Electric Generation as well as Purchased Electricity for Resale and Amortization of Generation Deferrals as presented in the RegistrantsRegistrants’ statements of income as applicable. Under the various state utility rate making processes, these expenses are generally reimbursable directly from and billed to customers. As a result, they do not typically impact Operating Income or Earnings Attributable to AEP Common Shareholders. Management believes that Gross Margin provides a useful measure for investors and other financial statement users to analyze AEP’s financial performance in that it excludes the effect on Total Revenues caused by volatility in these expenses. Operating Income, which is presented in accordance with GAAP in AEP’s statements of income, is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to the presentation of Gross Margin. AEP’s definition of Gross Margin may not be directly comparable to similarly titled financial measures used by other companies.

Liquidity
Liquidity, or access to cash, is an important factor in determining AEP’s financial stability. Management believes AEP has adequate liquidity under its existing credit facilities. As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, AEP had a $3$5 billion of revolving credit facility commitmentfacilities to support its operations.commercial paper program. Additional liquidity is available from cash from operations and a receivables securitization agreement. Management is committed to maintaining adequate liquidity. AEP generally uses short-term borrowings to fund working capital needs, property acquisitions and construction until long-term funding is arranged. Sources of long-term funding include issuance of long-term debt, sale-leaseback or leasing agreements, hybrid securities or common stock. In February 2021, severe winter weather impacted certain AEP service territories resulting in disruptions to SPP market conditions. In March 2021, AEP entered into a $500 million 364-day Term Loan and borrowed the full amount to help address the cash flow implications resulting from the February 2021 severe winter weather event. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.

AEP uses its commercial paper program to meet the short-term borrowing needs of its subsidiaries. The program is used to fund bothfunds a Utility Money Pool, which funds theAEP’s utility subsidiaries, andsubsidiaries; a Nonutility Money Pool, which funds certain AEP nonutility subsidiaries. In addition, the program also funds, as direct borrowers,subsidiaries; and the short-term debt requirements of other subsidiaries that are not participantsparticipating in either money pool for regulatory or operational reasons.reasons, as direct borrowers. The maximum amount of commercial paper outstanding during the first threesix months of 20182021 was $2.2$2.5 billion. The weighted-average interest rate for AEP’s commercial paper during 20182021 was 2.07%0.25%.
Other Credit Facilities
An uncommitted facility gives the issuer of the facility the right to accept or decline each request made under the facility. AEP issues letters of credit on behalf of subsidiaries under foursix uncommitted facilities totaling $305 million. In March 2018, one of the uncommitted credit facilities was reduced by $40$425 million. The Registrants’ maximum future payments for letters of credit issued under the uncommitted facilities as of March 31, 2018June 30, 2021 was $81$187 millionwith maturities ranging from May 2018July 2021 to March 2019.July 2022.
Securitized Accounts Receivables
AEP’s receivables securitization agreement provides a commitment of $750 million from bank conduits to purchase receivables and expires in September 2022.
In March 2021, AEP Credit amended its receivables securitization agreement to extend trigger levels established in October 2020 and to also provide a step down approach to these levels as management continues to monitor the accounts receivable balances across the affiliated utility subsidiaries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2019.2021, AEP Credit entered into a waiver for both APCo and SWEPCo to waive certain triggers through August 2021 due to the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, the affiliated utility subsidiaries are in compliance with all requirements under the agreement. To the extent that an affiliated utility subsidiary is deemed ineligible under the agreement, the affiliated utility subsidiary would no longer participate in the receivables securitization agreement and the Registrants would need to rely on additional sources of funding for operation and working capital, which may adversely impact liquidity. The receivables that are ineligible under the receivables securitization agreement are financed with short-term debt at AEP Credit.
Debt Covenants and Borrowing Limitations
AEP’s credit agreements contain certain covenants and require it to maintain a percentage of debt to totaldebt-to-total capitalization at a level that does not exceed 67.5%. The method for calculating outstanding debt and capitalization is contractually definedcontractually-defined in AEP’s credit agreements. Debt as defined in the revolving credit agreementsagreement excludes securitization bonds and debt of AEP Credit. As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021,this contractually-defined percentage was 54.8%59.7%. NonperformanceNon-performance under these covenants could result in an event of default under these credit agreements. In addition, the acceleration of AEP’s payment obligations, or the obligations of certain of AEP’s major subsidiaries, prior to maturity under any other agreement or instrument relating to debt outstanding in excess of $50 million, would cause an event of default under these credit agreements. This condition also applies in a majority of AEP’s non-exchange tradednon-exchange-traded commodity contracts and would similarly allow lenders and counterparties to declare the outstanding amounts payable. However, a default under AEP’s non-exchange tradednon-exchange-traded commodity contracts would not cause an event of default under its credit agreements.
The revolving credit facilities do not permit the lenders to refuse a draw on any facility if a material adverse change occurs.
Utility Money Pool borrowings and external borrowings may not exceed amounts authorized by regulatory orders and AEP manages its borrowings to stay within those authorized limits.
At-the-Market (ATM) Program
AEP participates in an ATM offering program that allows AEP to issue, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $1 billion of its common stock, including shares of common stock that may be sold pursuant to an equity forward sales agreement. As of June 30, 2021, approximately $803 million of equity is available for issuance under the ATM offering program. See Note 12 - Financing Activities for additional information.
Equity Units
In August 2020, AEP issued 17 million Equity Units initially in the form of corporate units, at a stated amount of $50 per unit, for a total stated amount of $850 million. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $833 million. Each corporate unit represents a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of AEP’s 1.30% Junior Subordinated Notes due in 2025 and a forward equity purchase contract which settles after three years in 2023. The proceeds were used to support AEP’s overall capital expenditure plans.
In March 2019, AEP issued 16.1 million Equity Units initially in the form of corporate units, at a stated amount of $50 per unit, for a total stated amount of $805 million. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $785 million. Each corporate unit represents a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of AEP’s 3.40% Junior Subordinated Notes due in 2024 and a forward equity purchase contract which settles after three years in 2022. The proceeds from this issuance were used to support AEP’s overall capital expenditure plans including the acquisition of Sempra Renewables LLC.
See Note 12 - Financing Activities for additional information.
Dividend Policy and Restrictions
The Board of Directors declared a quarterly dividend of $0.62$0.74 per share in April 2018.July 2021. Future dividends may vary depending upon AEP’s profit levels, operating cash flow levels and capital requirements, as well as financial and other business conditions existing at the time. Parent’s income primarily derives from common stock equity in the earnings of its utility subsidiaries. Various financing arrangements and regulatory requirements may impose certain restrictions on the ability of the subsidiaries to transfer funds to Parent in the form of dividends. Management does not believe these restrictions will have any significant impact on its ability to access cash to meet the payment of dividends on its common stock. See “Dividend Restrictions” section of Note 12 for additional information.
Credit Ratings
AEP and its utility subsidiaries do not have any credit arrangements that would require material changes in payment schedules or terminations as a result of a credit downgrade, but its access to the commercial paper market may depend on its credit ratings. In addition, downgrades in AEP’s credit ratings by one of the rating agencies could increase its borrowing costs. Counterparty concerns about the credit quality of AEP or its utility subsidiaries could subject AEP to additional collateral demands under adequate assurance clauses under its derivative and non-derivative energy contracts.
CASH FLOW
AEP relies primarily on cash flows from operations, debt issuances and its existing cash and cash equivalents to fund its liquidity and investing activities. AEP’s investing and capital requirements are primarily capital expenditures, repaying of long-term debt and paying dividends to shareholders. AEP uses short-term debt, including commercial paper, as a bridge to long-term debt financing. The levels of borrowing may vary significantly due to the timing of long-term debt financings and the impact of fluctuations in cash flows.

Net Cash Flows from Operating Activities decreased by $5$702 million primarily due to the following:
An $89•A $1.3 billion decrease in cash primarily due to fuel and purchased power expenses incurred as a result of the February 2021 severe winter weather event in SPP impacting PSO and SWEPCo. Approximately $1.1 billion of these expenses are attributable to retail customers and are recorded as deferred fuel regulatory assets. PSO and SWEPCo are working with their respective regulatory commissions to determine the recovery period from customers as well as the appropriate carrying charge on the regulatory assets. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.
•A $138 million decrease in cash from Changes in Certain Components of Working Capital. This decrease is primarily due to changesincremental other operation and maintenance storm restoration expenses incurred by APCo, SWEPCo and KPCo as a result of the February 2021 severe winter weather event. These incremental expenses have been deferred as regulatory assets. KPCo intends to seek recovery of these incremental storm restoration costs in accrued federal taxestheir next base rate case while APCO and timing of receivables and payables, partially offset by lower employee-related payments.
An $81 million decreaseSWEPCo are expected to seek recovery in cash from Deferred Fuel Over/Under Recovery, Net, primarily due to fluctuations of fuel and purchase power costs at APCo.separate filings. See Note 4 - Rate Matters for additional information.
These decreases in cash were partially offset by:
•A $310 million increase in cash from the Change in Certain Components of Working Capital. The increase is primarily due to timing of accounts receivables and payables and a decrease in fuel, material and supplies balances primarily driven by changes in power prices.

BUDGETED CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
Management forecasts approximately $7.5 billion of capital expenditures in 2021. For the four year period, 2022 through 2025, management forecasts capital expenditures of $29.8 billion. The expenditures are generally for transmission, generation, distribution, regulated and contracted renewables, and required environmental investment to comply with the Federal EPA rules. Estimated capital expenditures are subject to periodic review and modification and may vary based on the ongoing effects of regulatory constraints, environmental regulations, business opportunities, market volatility, economic trends, weather, legal reviews and the ability to access capital. Management expects to fund these capital expenditures through cash dueflows from operations and financing activities. Generally, the Registrant Subsidiaries use cash or short-term borrowings under the money pool to increased proceeds from issuances of common stock.
These increases in cash were partially offset by:
A $15 million decrease due to increased common stock dividend payments primarily due to increased dividends per share from 2017 to 2018.
In April 2018, AEP Texas retired $30 million of 5.89% Senior Unsecured Notes due in 2018.
In April 2018, I&M retired $2 million of Notes Payable related to DCC Fuel.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

CYBER SECURITY
The electric utility industry is an identified critical infrastructure function with mandatory cyber security requirements under the authority of FERC. The North American Electric Reliability Corporation (NERC), which FERC certified as the nation’s Electric Reliability Organization, developed mandatory critical infrastructure protection cyber security reliability standards. AEP began participating in the NERC grid security and emergency response exercises, GridEx,
in 2013 and continues to participate in the bi-yearly exercises. These efforts, led by NERC, test and further develop the coordination, threat sharing and interaction between utilities and various government agencies relative to potential cyber and physical threats against the nation’s electric grid. In 2014, the U.S. Department of Energy published an Energy Sector Cyber Security Framework Implementation Guide for utilities to use in adopting and implementing the National Institute of Standards and Technology framework. AEP continues to be actively engaged in the framework process. In addition to these enterprise-wide initiatives, the operations of AEP’s electric utility subsidiaries are subject to extensive and rigorous mandatory cyber security requirements that are developed and enforced by NERC to protect grid security and reliability.
Critical cyber assets, such as data centers, power plants, transmission operations centers and business networks are protected using multiple layers of cyber security and authentication. Cyber hackers have been successful in breaching a number of very secure facilities, including federal agencies, banks and retailers. As these events become known and develop, AEP continually assesses its cyber security tools and processes to determine where to strengthen its defenses.
AEP has undertaken a variety of actions to monitor and address cyber-related risks. Cyber security and the effectiveness of AEP’s cyber security processes are discussed at Board and Audit Committee meetings. AEP’s strategy for managing cyber-related risks is integrated within its enterprise risk management processes.
AEP’s Chief Security Officer (CSO) leads the cyber security and physical security teams and is responsible for the design, implementation, and execution of AEP’s security risk management strategy, including cyber security. AEP operates a Cyber Security Intelligence and Response Center (cyber security team) responsible for monitoring the AEP System for cyber threats. Among other things, the CSO and the cyber security team actively monitor best practices, perform penetration testing, lead response exercises and internal campaigns, and provide training and communication across the organization.
The cyber security team constantly scans the AEP System for risks and threats. It also continually reviews its business continuity plan to develop an effective recovery strategy that seeks to decrease response times, limit financial impacts and maintain customer confidence during any business interruption. The cyber security team works closely with a broad range of departments, including legal, regulatory, corporate communications and audit services and information technology.
The cyber security team collaborates with partners from both industry and government, and routinely participates in industry-wide programs that exchange knowledge of threats with utility peers, industry and federal agencies. AEP is a member of a number of industry specific threat and information sharing communities including the Department of Homeland Security and the Electricity Information Sharing and Analysis Center.
AEP has partnered in the past with a major defense contractor with significant cyber security experience and technical capabilities developed through their work with the U.S. Department of Defense. AEP continues to work with a nonaffiliated entity to conduct several discussions each year about recognizing and investigating cyber vulnerabilities.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market Risks
The Vertically Integrated Utilities segment is exposed to certain market risks as a major power producer and through transactions in power, coal, natural gas and marketing contracts. These risks include commodity price risks which may be subject to capacity risk, credit risk as well as interest rate risk. In addition, this segment is exposed to foreign currency exchange risk from occasionally procuring various services and materials used in its energy business from foreign suppliers. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact this segment due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates.
The Transmission and Distribution Utilities segment is exposed to energy procurement risk and interest rate risk.
The Generation & Marketing segment conducts marketing, risk management and retail activities in ERCOT, PJM, SPP and MISO. This segment is exposed to certain market risks as a marketer of wholesale and retail electricity. These risks include commodity price risks which may be subject to capacity risk, credit risk as well as interest rate risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact this segment due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates. In addition, the Generation & Marketing segment is also exposed to certain market risks as a major power producer and through transactions in wholesale electricity, natural gas and marketing contracts.
Management employs risk management contracts including physical forward and financial forward purchase-and-sale contracts. Management engages in risk management of power, capacity, coal, natural gas and, to a lesser extent, heating oil, gasoline and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with the energy business. As a result, AEP is subject to price risk. The amount of risk taken is determined by the Commercial Operations, Energy Supply and Finance groups in accordance with established risk management policies as approved by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors. AEPSC’s market risk oversight staff independently monitors risk policies, procedures and risk levels and provides members of the Commercial Operations Risk Committee (Regulated Risk Committee) and the Energy Supply Risk Committee (Competitive Risk Committee) various reports regarding compliance with policies, limits and procedures. The Regulated Risk Committee consists of AEPSC’s Chief Financial Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Executive Vice
President of Generation, Senior Vice President of Commercial OperationsGrid Solutions, Senior Vice President of Treasury and Risk and Chief Risk Officer. The Competitive
Risk Committee consists of AEPSC’s Chief Financial Officer, Senior Vice President of Treasury and Risk and Chief Risk Officer in addition to Energy Supply’s
President and Vice President. When commercial activities exceed predetermined limits, positions are modified to reduce the risk to be within the limits unless specifically approved by the respective committee.
The effects of COVID-19 continue to be monitored, and while markets have shown improvement, credit risks remain as counterparties encounter business and supply chain disruptions.
Due to multiple defaults of market participants, ERCOT has a large outstanding unpaid balance associated with the February storm. Socialized losses are allocated to load serving entities through their qualified scheduling entities and in that role AEPEP is exposed, but not materially. If the market rules were to change on how socialized losses are allocated this could affect AEPEP’s exposure. Regardless of the approach of how socialized losses are allocated there are potential downstream impacts that could push counterparties into financial distress and or bankruptcy, affecting AEPEP, AEP Texas and ETT.

See Note 9 – Derivatives and Hedging and Note 10 – Fair Value Measurements for additional information related to risk management contracts. The following tables and discussion provide information on credit risk and market volatility risk.
Credit Risk
Credit risk is mitigated in wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. Management uses Moody’s Investors Service Inc., S&P Global Inc.credit agency ratings and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.
AEP has risk management contracts (includes non-derivative contracts) with numerous counterparties. Since open risk management contracts are valued based on changes in market prices of the related commodities, exposures change daily. As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, credit exposure net of collateral to sub investment grade counterparties was approximately 7%3.1%, expressed in terms of net MTM assets, net receivables and the net open positions for contracts not subject to MTM (representing economic risk even though there may not be risk of accounting loss).
As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, the following table approximates AEP’s counterparty credit quality and exposure based on netting across commodities, instruments and legal entities where applicable:

In addition, AEP is exposed to credit risk related to participation in RTOs. For each of the RTOs in which AEP participates, this risk is generally determined based on the proportionate share of member gross activity over a specified period of time.
Value at Risk (VaR) Associated with Risk Management Contracts
Management uses a risk measurement model, which calculates VaR, to measure AEP’s commodity price risk in the risk management portfolio. The VaR is based on the variance-covariance method using historical prices to estimate volatilities and correlations and assumes a 95% confidence level and a one-day holding period. Based on this VaR analysis, as of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, a near term typical change in commodity prices is not expected to materially impact net income, cash flows or financial condition.
Management calculates the VaR for both a trading and non-trading portfolio. The trading portfolio consists primarily of contracts related to energy trading and marketing activities. The non-trading portfolio consists primarily of economic hedges of generation and retail supply activities.
The following tables show the end, high, average and low market risk as measured by VaR for the periods indicated:

Management back-tests VaR results against performance due to actual price movements. Based on the assumed 95% confidence interval, the performance due to actual price movements would be expected to exceed the VaR at least once every 20 trading days.
As the VaR calculation captures recent price movements, management also performs regular stress testing of the trading portfolio to understand AEP’s exposure to extreme price movements. A historical-based method is employed whereby
the current trading portfolio is subjected to actual, observed price movements from the last several years in order to ascertain which historical price movements translated into the largest potential MTM loss. Management then researches the underlying positions, price movements and market events that created the most significant exposure and reports the findings to the Risk Executive Committee, Regulated Risk Committee or Competitive Risk Committee as appropriate.
Interest Rate Risk
AEP is exposed to interest rate market fluctuations in the normal course of business operations. AEP has outstanding short-short and long-term debt which is subject to a variable rate. AEP manages interest rate risk by limiting variable-rate exposures to a percentage of total debt, by entering into interest rate derivative instruments and by monitoring the effects of market changes in interest rates. For the threesix months ended March 31, 2018June 30, 2021 and 2017,2020, a 100 basis point change in the benchmark rate on AEP’s variable rate debt would impact pre-taxpretax interest expense annually by $25$38 million and $35$17 million, respectively.

The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of purchased electricity and amortization of generation deferrals were as follows:
Retail Margins increased $32 million primarily due to the following:
A $39 million net increase in Basic Transmission Cost Rider revenues and recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was partially offset by a corresponding increase in Other Operation and Maintenance below.
A $21 million increase in revenues associated with the Universal Service Fund (USF). This increase was offset by a corresponding increase in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
A $9 million increase in usage primarily in the residential class.
A $6 million increase in rider revenues associated with the DIR. This increase was partially offset in various expenses below.
A $4 million net increase in RSR revenues less associated amortizations.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $16 million decrease due to the 2018 provisions for customer refunds primarily related to Tax Reform. This decrease is offset in Income Tax Expense below.
An $11 million decrease in Energy Efficiency/Peak Demand Reduction rider revenues. This decrease was partially offset by a corresponding decrease in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
A $10 million decrease in margin for the Phase-In-Recovery Rider including associated amortizations.
A $7 million decrease due to the recovery of lower current year losses from a power contract with OVEC. This decrease was offset by a corresponding increase in Margins from Off-system Sales below.
A $7 million decrease in revenues associated with smart grid riders. This decrease was partially offset by a corresponding decrease in various expenses below.
Margins from Off-system Sales increased $7 million primarily due to lower current year losses from a power contract with OVEC which was offset in Retail Margins above as a result of the OVEC PPA rider beginning in January 2017.
Transmission Revenues decreased $6 million mainly due to the 2018 provisions for customer refunds primarily due to Tax Reform. This decrease is offset in Income Tax Expense below.
Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:
Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $50 million primarily due to the following:
A $35 million increase in recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was offset by a corresponding increase in Retail Margins above.
A $21 million increase in remitted USF surcharge payments to the Ohio Department of Development to fund an energy assistance program for qualified Ohio customers. This increase was offset by a corresponding increase in Retail Margins above.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $10 million decrease in Energy Efficiency/Peak Demand Reduction rider costs and associated deferrals. This decrease was offset by a decrease in Retail Margins above.
Depreciation and Amortization expensesincreased $8 million primarily due to the following:
A $6 million increase in recoverable DIR depreciation expense. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
A $3 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
A $2 million increase primarily due to amortization of capitalized software costs.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $3 million decrease in recoverable smart grid depreciation expenses. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased by $7 million primarily due to the following:
A $4 million increase in property taxes due to additional investments in transmission and distribution assets and higher tax rates.
A $3 million increase in state excise taxes due to an increase in metered KWh. This increase was offset by a corresponding increase in Retail Margins above.
Income Tax Expense decreased $26 million primarily due to the change in the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018 as a result of Tax Reform and a decrease in pretax book income.

The major components of the decrease in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances and purchased electricity were as follows:
Retail Margins were consistent with the prior year due to the following:
A $5 million increase in revenue from rate riders. This increase in Retail Margins is partially offset by a corresponding increase to riders/trackers recognized in other expense items below.
A $4 million increase due to new rates implemented in March 2018, inclusive of a $2 million decrease due to the change in the corporate federal tax rate.
A $3 million increase in weather-related usage due to a 54% increase in heating degree days.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $6 million decrease due to 2018 provisions for customer refunds primarily related to Tax Reform. This decrease is offset in Income Tax Expense below.
A $5 million decrease related to the System Reliability Rider (SRR) that ended in August 2017. This decrease is partially offset by a corresponding decrease recognized in other expense items below.
A $1 million decrease due to lower weather-normalized margins.
Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:
Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $11 million primarily due to the following:
A $9 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to increased SPP transmission services.
A $4 million increase due to the Wind Catcher Project.
A $3 million increase in Energy Efficiency program costs. This increase was offset by an increase from rate riders in Retail Margins above.
These increases were partially offset by:
A $6 million decrease in the amortization of previously deferred vegetation management costs collected through the SRR. This decrease was partially offset by a corresponding decrease in Retail Margins above.
Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $3 million primarily due to the following:
A $2 million increase due to a higher depreciable base.
A $1 million increase due to amortization of capitalized software costs.
Income Tax Expense decreased $4 million primarily due to the change in the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% in 2017 to 21% in 2018 as a result of Tax Reform, amortization of excess accumulated deferred income taxes associated with certain depreciable property and a decrease in pretax book income.

Second Quarter of 2021 | | $ | 74.0 | |
The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of purchased electricity were as follows:
•Retail Margins increased $46 million primarily due to the following:
•A $30 million net increase in Basic Transmission Cost Rider revenues and recoverable PJM expenses. This increase was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•A $19 million increase in usage primarily from the commercial and residential classes of $11 million and $6 million, respectively.
•A $12 million increase in rider revenues associated with the DIR. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
•An $8 million increase due to a PUCO order to refund unused 2018 major storm reserve collections to customers in the prior period. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•A $7 million increase in the Legacy Generation Resource Rider (LGRR). This increase was offset in Margins from Off-system Sales and Other Revenues below.
•A $5 million increase in revenues associated with a vegetation management rider. This increase was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $19 million decrease due to the ending of the Energy Efficiency and Peak Demand Rider in December 2020. This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•An $11 million decrease in revenues associated with the Universal Service Fund (USF). This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•Margins from Off-system Sales decreased $13 million primarily due to unfavorable deferrals of OVEC costs. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above and Other Revenues below.
•Other Revenues increased $8 million primarily due to third-party LGRR revenue related to the recovery of OVEC costs. This increase was offset in Retail Margins and Margins from Off-system Sales above.
Expenses and Other changed between years as follows:
•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $18 million primarily due to the following:
•A $26 million increase in recoverable PJM expense. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $9 million increase in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual formula rate true-up.
•An $8 million increase in distribution maintenance expenses related to the annual major storm reserve true-up. This increase was offset in retail margins.
•A $5 million increase in recoverable distribution expenses primarily related to vegetation management. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
These increases were partially offset by:
•An $11 million decrease in remitted USF surcharge payments to the Ohio Department of Development to fund an energy assistance program for qualified Ohio customers. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $9 million decrease in energy efficiency/demand side management expenses. This decrease was partially offset within Retail Margins above.
•A $7 million decrease in factored customer accounts receivable expenses primarily due to bad debt expenses and a current year adjustment to allowance for doubtful accounts.
•Depreciation and Amortization expensesincreased $17 million primarily due to the following:
•A $6 million increase in recoverable DIR depreciable expense. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $5 million increase in amortization of plant primarily related to capitalized software.
•A $3 million increase in depreciation expense due to a higher depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
•Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $11 million primarily due to property taxes driven by additional investments in transmission and distribution assets and higher tax rates.

•A $46 million decrease due to the ending of the Energy Efficiency and Peak Demand Rider in December 2020. This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•A $27 million decrease in revenues associated with the USF. This decrease was offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
•Margins from Off-system Sales decreased $27 million primarily due to unfavorable deferrals of OVEC costs. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above and Other Revenues below.
•Other Revenues increased $13 million primarily due to third-party LGRR revenue related to the recovery of OVEC costs. This increase was offset in Retail Margins and Margins from Off-system Sales above.
Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:
•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $33 million primarily due to the following:
•A $78 million increase in recoverable PJM expense. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $10 million increase in recoverable distribution expenses related to vegetation management. This increase was offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $9 million increase in PJM expenses primarily related to the annual formula rate true-up.
•An $8 million increase in distribution maintenance expenses related to the annual major storm reserve true-up. This increase was offset in retail margins.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $30 million decrease in energy efficiency/demand side management expenses. This decrease was partially offset within Retail Margins above.
•A $27 million decrease in remitted USF surcharge payments to the Ohio Department of Development to fund an energy assistance program for qualified Ohio customers. This decrease was offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $14 million decrease in factored customer accounts receivable expenses primarily due to bad debt expenses and a current year adjustment to allowance for doubtful accounts.
•Depreciation and Amortization expensesincreased $21 million primarily due to the following:
•An $8 million increase in depreciation expense due to an increase in the depreciable base of transmission and distribution assets.
•A $6 million increase in recoverable DIR depreciation expense. This increase was partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $6 million increase in amortization of plant primarily related to capitalized software.
•Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $20 million primarily due to property taxes driven by additional investments in transmission and distribution assets and higher tax rates.

Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 | | $ | 43.4 | |
(a)Includes firm wholesale sales to municipals and cooperatives.
The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:
•Retail Margins increased $17 million primarily due to the following:
•A $19 million increase in revenue from rate riders. This increase was partially offset in other expense items below.
•A $4 million increase in weather-normalized retail margins.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $3 million decrease in weather-related usage primarily due to a 17% decrease in cooling degree days partially offset by a 37% increase in heating degree days.
•A $3 million increase in fuel expense due to production tax credits passed back to customers. This increase is offset in Income Tax Expense.
•Transmission Revenues increased $3 million primarily due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
•Other Revenues decreased $6 million primarily due to business development revenue. This decrease was partially offset in Other Operation and Maintenance expenses below.
Expenses and Other changed between years as follows:
•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $2 million primarily due to the following:
•A $9 million increase in transmission expenses primarily due to a $6 million increase as a result of the annual transmission formula rate true-up and a $3 million increase in recoverable SPP expense. These increases were partially offset in Retail Margins above.
•A $3 million increase due to the prior year capitalization of previously expensed North Central Wind Energy Facilities costs.
These increases were partially offset by:
•An $8 million decrease in distribution expenses primarily due to a decrease in overhead line maintenance.
•A $4 million decrease in business development expenses. This decrease was partially offset in Other Revenues above.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $10 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base and the timing of refunds to customers under rate rider mechanisms.

(a)Includes firm wholesale sales to municipals and cooperatives.
The major components of the increase in Gross Margin, defined as revenues less the related direct cost of fuel, including consumption of chemicals and emissions allowances, and purchased electricity were as follows:
•Retail Margins increased $6 million primarily due to the following:
•A $3 million increase in weather-related usage primarily due to an 8% increase in cooling degree days.
•A $3 million increase in municipal and cooperative revenues primarily due to the annual generation formula rate true-up.
•Transmission Revenues decreased $5 million primarily due to the following:
•An $8 million decrease due to the annual transmission formula rate true-up.
This decrease was partially offset by:
•A $3 million increase due to an increase in transmission investment.
Expenses and Other and Income Tax Expense changed between years as follows:
•Other Operation and Maintenance expenses increased $18 million primarily due to the following:
•A $14 million increase in transmission related expenses primarily due to a $10 million increase as a result of the annual formula rate true-up.
•A $6 million increase due to the prior year capitalization of previously expensed North Central Wind Energy Facilities costs.
•A $4 million increase in regulatory and rate case related expenses.
These increases were partially offset by:
•A $6 million decrease in overhead line maintenance primarily related to storm restoration.
•Depreciation and Amortization expenses increased $5 million primarily due to a higher depreciable base.
•Taxes Other Than Income Taxes increased $5 million primarily due to increased property taxes resulting from the expiration of the Louisiana Industrial Tax Exemption related to the Stall Plant.
•Income Tax Expense decreased $1 million primarily due to a decrease in pretax book income partially offset by a decrease in amortization of Excess ADIT. The decrease in amortization of Excess ADIT was partially offset in Retail Margins above.

Earnings Per Share (EPS) (Applies to AEP)
Basic EPS is calculated by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted averageweighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated by adjusting the weighted averageweighted-average outstanding common shares, assuming conversion of all potentially dilutive stock options and awards.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTSSTANDARDS
The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.
During the FASB’s standard-setting process and upon issuance of final pronouncements,standards, management reviews the new accounting literature to determine its relevance, if any, to the Registrants’ business. The following pronouncements will impact the financial statements.
ASU 2014-09 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (ASU 2014-09)
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 changing the method usedThere are no new standards expected to determine the timing and requirements for revenue recognition on the statements of income. Under the new standard, an entity must identify the performance obligations in a contract, determine the transaction price and allocate the price to specific performance obligations to recognize the revenue when the obligation is completed. The amendments in this update also require disclosure of sufficient information to allow users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flow arising from contracts.
Management adopted ASU 2014-09 effective January 1, 2018, by means of the modified retrospective approach for all contracts. The adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not have a material impact on results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In that regard, the application of the new standard did not cause any significant differences in any individual financial statement line items had those line items been presented in accordance with the guidance that was in effect prior to the adoption of the new standard. Further, given the lack of material impact to the financial statements, the adoption of the new standard did not give rise to any material changes in the Registrants’ previously established accounting policies for revenue. See Note 14 - Revenue from Contracts with Customers for additional disclosures required by the new standard.
ASU 2016-01 “Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (ASU 2016-01)
In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01 revising the reporting model for financial instruments. Under the new standard, equity investments (except those accounted for under the equity method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee) are required to be measured at fair value with changes in fair value recognized in net income. For equity investments that do not have a readily determinable fair value, entities are permitted to elect a practicality exception and measure the investment at cost, less impairment, plus or minus observable price changes. The new standard also amends disclosure requirements and requires separate presentation of financial assets and liabilities by measurement category and form of financial asset (that is, securities or loans and receivables) on the balance sheets or the accompanying notes to the financial statements. The amendments also clarify that an entity should evaluate the need for a valuation allowance on a deferred tax asset related to available-for-sale securities in combination with the entity’s other deferred tax assets.
The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted for certain provisions. Management adopted ASU 2016-01 effective January 1, 2018, by means of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the balance sheet. The adoption of ASU 2016-01 resulted in an immaterial impact on results of operations and financial position of AEP, and no impact to results of operations or financial position of the Registrant Subsidiaries. There was no impact on cash flows of the Registrants.
ASU 2016-02 “Accounting for Leases” (ASU 2016-02)
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 increasing the transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheets and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under the new standard, an entity must recognize an asset and liability for operating leases on the balance sheets. Additionally, a capital lease will be known as a finance lease going forward. Leases with lease terms of 12 months or longer will be subject to the new requirements. Fundamentally, the criteria used to determine lease classification will remain the same, but will be more subjective under the new standard.
The new accounting guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Initial decisions were made to apply the guidance by means of a modified retrospective approach. The modified retrospective approach will require lessees and lessors to recognize and measure leases at the beginning of the earliest period presented; however, the FASB is currently evaluating draft guidance which would provide an optional expedient to adopt the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. Management continues to monitor these standard-setting activities that may impact the transition requirements of the lease standard.
During 2016 and 2017, lease contract assessments were completed. The AEP System lease population was identified and representative lease contracts were sampled. Based upon the completed assessments, management prepared a system gap analysis to outline new disclosure compliance requirements compared to current system capabilities. Multiple lease system options were also evaluated. Management plans to elect certain of the following practical expedients upon adoption:
|
| | |
Practical Expedient | | Description |
Overall Expedients (for leases commenced prior to adoption date and must be adopted as a package) | | Do not need to reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are/or contain leases, do not need to reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases and do not need to reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. |
Lease and Non-lease Components (elect by class of underlying asset) | | Elect as an accounting policy to not separate non-lease components from lease components and instead account for each lease and associated non-lease component as a single lease component. |
Short-term Lease (elect by class of underlying asset) | | Elect as an accounting policy to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases. |
Lease term | | Elect to use hindsight to determine the lease term. |
Existing and expired land easements not previously accounted for as leases | | Elect optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate under Topic 842 existing or expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current leases guidance in Topic 840. |
Evaluation of new lease contracts continues and the process of implementing a compliant lease system solution began in the third quarter of 2017. Management expects the new standard to impact financial position and, at this time, cannot estimate the impact. Management expects no impact to results of operations or cash flows.
Management continues to monitor industry implementation issues as well as FASB’s ongoing standard-setting activities that may result in the issuance of additional targeted improvements to the new lease guidance. Management plans to adopt ASU 2016-02 effective January 1, 2019.
ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (ASU 2016-13)
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13 requiring an allowance to be recorded for all expected credit losses for financial assets. The allowance for credit losses is based on historical information, current conditions and reasonable and supportable forecasts. The new standard also makes revisions to the other than temporary impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities. Disclosures of credit quality indicators in relation to the amortized cost of financing receivables are further disaggregated by year of origination.
The new accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments will be applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the first reporting period in which the guidance is effective. Management is analyzing the impact of this new standard and, at this time, cannot estimate the impact of adoption on net income. Management plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 effective January 1, 2020.
ASU 2017-07 “Compensation - Retirement Benefits” (ASU 2017-07)
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-07 requiring that an employer report the service cost component of pension and postretirement benefits in the same line item or items as other compensation costs. The other components of net benefit cost are required to be presented on the statements of income separately from the service cost component and outside of a subtotal of income from operations. In addition, only the service cost component will be eligible for capitalization as applicable following labor.
Management adopted ASU 2017-07 effective January 1, 2018. Presentation of the non-service components on a separate line outside of operating income was applied on a retrospective basis, using the amounts disclosed in the benefit plan note for the estimation basis as a practical expedient. Capitalization of only the service cost component was applied on a prospective basis.
ASU 2017-12 “Derivatives and Hedging” (ASU 2017-12)
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12 amending the recognition and presentation requirements for hedge accounting activities. The objectives are to improve the financial reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its financial statements and reduce the complexity of applying hedge accounting. Under the new standard, the concept of recognizing hedge ineffectiveness within the statements of income for cash flow hedges, which has historically been immaterial to AEP, will be eliminated. In addition, certain required tabular disclosures relating to fair value and cash flow hedges will be modified.
The accounting guidance is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted for any interim or annual period after August 2017. Management is analyzing the impact of this new standard, including the possibility of early adoption, and at this time, cannot estimate the impact of adoption on results of operations, financial position or cash flows.
ASU 2018-02 “Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from AOCI” (ASU 2018-02)
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02 allowing a reclassification from AOCI to Retained Earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from Tax Reform. The accounting guidance for “Income Taxes” requires deferred tax assets and liabilities to be adjusted for the effect of a change in tax law or rates with the effect included in income from continuing operations in the reporting period that includes the enactment date of the tax change. This guidance is applicable for the tax effects of items in AOCI that were originally recognized in Other Comprehensive Income. As a result and absent the new guidance in this ASU, the tax effects of items within AOCI would not reflect the newly enacted corporate tax rate.
Management adopted ASU 2018-02 effective January 1, 2018, electing to reclassify the effects of the change in the federal corporate tax rate due to Tax Reform from AOCI to Retained Earnings. A portion of the reclassification was recorded to Regulatory Liabilities to adjust the tax effects of certain interest rate hedges in AEP's regulated jurisdictions that were previously deferred as a part of the accounting for Tax Reform. There were no other effects from Tax Reform that impacted AOCI. Management applied the new guidance at the beginning of the period of adoption. The adoption of the new standard did not have a material impact on the statement ofRegistrants’ financial position and did not impact results of operations or cash flows.statements.

4. RATE MATTERS
The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.
As discussed in the 20172020 Annual Report, the Registrants are involved in rate and regulatory proceedings at the FERC and their state commissions. The Rate Matters note within the 20172020 Annual Report should be read in conjunction with this report to gain a complete understanding of material rate matters still pending that could impact net income, cash flows and possibly financial condition. The following discusses ratemaking developments in 20182021 and updates the 20172020 Annual Report.
Coal-Fired Generation Plants (Applies to AEP, PSO and SWEPCo)
Compliance with extensive environmental regulations requires significant capital investment in environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment, emission fees, disposal costs and permits. Management continuously evaluates cost estimates of complying with these regulations which has resulted in, and in the future may result in, a decision to retire coal-fired generating facilities earlier than their currently estimated useful lives.
Management is seeking or will seek regulatory recovery, as necessary, for any net book value remaining when the plants are retired. To the extent the net book value of these generation assets are not deemed recoverable, it could materially reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Regulated Generating Units that have been Retired
PSO
In September 2020, the Oklaunion Power Station was retired. As of June 30, 2021, PSO has a regulatory asset for accelerated depreciation pending approval recorded on its balance sheet of $34 million. PSO is seeking accelerated recovery of the Oklaunion Power Station through 2026 in its 2021 Oklahoma base rate case. See “2021 Oklahoma Base Rate Case” section below for additional information. In October 2020, the Oklaunion Power Station site was sold to a nonaffiliated third-party.
SWEPCo
In April 2016, Welsh Plant, Unit 2 was retired. As part of the 2016 Texas Base Rate Case, SWEPCo received approval from the PUCT to recover the Texas jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant, Unit 2. See “2016 Texas Base Rate Case” section below for additional information. As part of the 2019 Arkansas Base Rate Case, SWEPCo received approval from the APSC to recover the Arkansas jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant, Unit 2. In December 2020, SWEPCo filed a request with the LPSC to recover the Louisiana jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant, Unit 2. As of June 30, 2021, SWEPCo has a regulatory asset for plant retirement costs pending approval recorded on its balance sheet of $35 million related to the Louisiana jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant, Unit 2. See “2020 Louisiana Base Rate Case” section below for additional information.
Regulated Generating Units to be Retired
PSO
In 2014, PSO received final approval from the Federal EPA to close Northeastern Plant, Unit 3, in 2026. The plant was originally scheduled to close in 2040. As a result of the early retirement date, PSO revised the useful life of Northeastern Plant, Unit 3, to the projected retirement date of 2026 and the incremental depreciation is being deferred as a regulatory asset. As part of its 2021 Oklahoma base rate case, PSO is seeking to accelerate the recovery of Northeastern Plant, Unit 3 from the original retirement date of 2040 to the projected retirement date of 2026. See “2021 Oklahoma Base Rate Case” section below for additional information.
SWEPCo
In January 2020, as part of the 2019 Arkansas Base Rate Case, management announced that the Dolet Hills Power Station was probable of abandonment and was to be retired by December 2026. As a result of the announcement, SWEPCo began recording a regulatory asset for accelerated depreciation. In March 2020, management announced plans to retire the plant in 2021.
In November 2020, management announced plans to retire Pirkey Power Plant in 2023 and that it will cease using coal at the Welsh Plant in 2028. As a result of the announcement, SWEPCo began recording a regulatory asset for accelerated depreciation.
The table below summarizes the net book value including CWIP, before cost of removal and materials and supplies, as of June 30, 2021, of generating facilities planned for early retirement:

(e)Pirkey Power Plant is currently being recovered through 2025 in the Louisiana jurisdiction and through 2045 in the Arkansas and Texas jurisdictions.
(f)Includes Welsh Plant, Unit 2, which was retired in 2016. Removal of Welsh Plant, Unit 2, will be performed with Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3, after retirement.
(g)Unit 1 is being recovered through 2027 in the Louisiana jurisdiction and through 2037 in the Arkansas and Texas jurisdictions. Unit 3 is being recovered through 2032 in the Louisiana jurisdiction and through 2042 in the Arkansas and Texas jurisdictions.
Dolet Hills Power Station and Related Fuel Operations (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)
DHLC provides 100% of the fuel supply to Dolet Hills Power Station. During the second quarter of 2019, the Dolet Hills Power Station initiated a seasonal operating schedule. In 2020, management of SWEPCo and CLECO determined DHLC would not proceed developing additional Oxbow Lignite Company (Oxbow) mining areas for future lignite extraction and ceased extraction of lignite at the mine in May 2020. Based on these actions, management revised the estimated useful life of DHLC’s and Oxbow’s assets to coincide with the date at which extraction was discontinued in the second quarter of 2020 and the date at which delivery of lignite is expected to cease in September 2021. In addition, management also revised the useful life of the Dolet Hills Power Station to 2021 based on the remaining estimated fuel supply available for continued seasonal operation. In April 2020, SWEPCo and CLECO jointly filed a notification letter to the LPSC providing notice of the cessation of lignite mining.
The Dolet Hills Power Station non-fuel costs are recoverable by SWEPCo through base rates. SWEPCo’s share of the net investment in the Dolet Hills Power Station is $147 million, including CWIP and materials and supplies, before cost of removal.
Fuel costs incurred by the Dolet Hills Power Station are recoverable by SWEPCo through active fuel clauses. Under the fuel agreements, SWEPCo’s fuel inventory and unbilled fuel costs from mining related activities were $119 million as of June 30, 2021. Also, as of June 30, 2021, SWEPCo had a net over-recovered fuel balance of $17 million, excluding impacts of the February 2021 severe winter weather event, which includes fuel consumed at the Dolet Hills Power Station. Additional operational, reclamation and other land-related costs incurred by DHLC and Oxbow will be billed to SWEPCo and included in future fuel clauses.
In June 2020, SWEPCo filed a fuel reconciliation with the PUCT for its retail operations in Texas, including Dolet Hills, for the reconciliation period of March 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. See “2020 Texas Fuel Reconciliation” section below for additional information.
In March 2021, the LPSC issued an order allowing SWEPCo to recover up to $20 million of fuel costs in 2021 and defer approximately $30 million of additional costs with a recovery period to be determined at a later date.
In March 2021, the APSC approved fuel rates that provide recovery of the Arkansas share of the 2021 Dolet Hills Power Station fuel costs over five years through the existing fuel clause.
If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Pirkey Power Plant and Related Fuel Operations (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)
In 2020, management announced plans to retire the Pirkey Power Plant in 2023. The Pirkey Power Plant non-fuel costs are recoverable by SWEPCo through base rates and fuel costs are recovered through active fuel clauses. SWEPCo’s share of the net investment in the Pirkey Power Plant is $206 million, including CWIP, before cost of removal. Sabine is a mining operator providing mining services to the Pirkey Power Plant. Under the provisions of the mining agreement, SWEPCo is required to pay, as part of the cost of lignite delivered, an amount equal to mining costs plus a management fee. SWEPCo expects fuel deliveries, including billings of all fixed and operating costs, from Sabine to cease during the first quarter of 2023. Under the fuel agreements, SWEPCo’s fuel inventory and unbilled fuel costs from mining related activities were $148 millionas of June 30, 2021. Also, as of June 30, 2021, SWEPCo had a net over-recovered fuel balance of $17 million, excluding impacts of the February 2021 severe winter weather event, which includes fuel consumed at the Pirkey Power Plant. Additional operational, reclamation and other land-related costs incurred by Sabine will be billed to SWEPCo and included in future fuel clauses. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2020 Texas Fuel Reconciliation (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)
In June 2020, SWEPCo filed a fuel reconciliation with the PUCT for its retail operations in Texas for the reconciliation period of March 1, 2017 to December 31, 2019. The fuel reconciliation included total fuel costs of $1.7 billion ($616 million of which is related to the Texas jurisdiction). In January 2021, various parties filed testimony recommending fuel cost disallowances totaling $125 million relating to the Texas jurisdiction. Also in January 2021, SWEPCo filed rebuttal testimony disputing the recommended disallowances. In February 2021, SWEPCo and various parties reached a settlement in principle which resulted in a $10 million reduction in recoverable fuel costs for the reconciliation period, which was recognized in SWEPCo’s 2020 financial statements. In June 2021, the settlement was filed and approved by the PUCT. If additional costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

ImpactImpacts of Tax ReformSevere Winter Weather
RateStorm Restoration Costs (Applies to AEP, APCo and SWEPCo)
In February 2021, severe winter weather impacted the service territories of APCo, KPCo and SWEPCo resulting in power outages and extensive damage to transmission and distribution infrastructures. As a result, incremental restoration expenses have been deferred related to the severe winter weather. The current estimate of storm restoration costs are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | | | June 30, 2021 |
Company | | Jurisdiction | | Capital | | O&M | | Regulatory Asset | | Total |
| | | | (in millions) |
APCo | | Virginia | | $ | 8.0 | | | $ | 2.2 | | | $ | 6.6 | | | $ | 16.8 | |
APCo | | West Virginia | | 22.3 | | | 0 | | | 42.7 | | | 65.0 | |

| | Total | | $ | 64.6 | | | $ | 6.4 | | | $ | 137.6 | | | $ | 208.6 | |
The amounts in the table above represent estimates as of June 30, 2021, and are subject to true-up as additional information becomes available. In March 2021, the LPSC approved the deferral of incremental other operation and maintenance storm restoration expenses related to the Louisiana jurisdiction for SWEPCo. Similarly, in April 2021, the KPSC approved deferral of KPCo’s incremental other operation and maintenance storm restoration expenses. KPCo intends to seek recovery of these incremental storm restoration costs in their next base rate case while APCo and SWEPCo are expected to seek recovery in separate filings. If any of the restoration costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
February 2021 Severe Winter Weather Impacts in SPP (Applies to AEP, PSO and SWEPCo)
The February 2021 severe winter weather also had a significant impact in SPP resulting in the declaration of Energy Emergency Alert Levels 2 and 3 for the first time in SPP’s history. The winter storm increased the demand for natural gas and restricted the available natural gas supply resulting in significantly increased market prices for natural gas power plants to meet reliability needs for the SPP electric system. From February 9, 2021, to February 20, 2021, PSO’s and SWEPCo’s natural gas expenses and purchases of electricity still to be recovered from customers are as follows:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | PSO | | SWEPCo | | Total |
| | (in millions) |
Retail Customers (a) | | $ | 669.4 | | | $ | 453.0 | | (b) | $ | 1,122.4 | |

Total | | $ | 669.4 | | | $ | 515.8 | | | $ | 1,185.2 | |
(a)These costs were deferred as regulatory mattersassets as of June 30, 2021.
(b)SWEPCo’s balance consists of $116 million, $161 million and $176 million related to the Arkansas, Louisiana and Texas jurisdictions, respectively.
Retail Customers
PSO and SWEPCo have active fuel clauses that allow for the recovery of prudently incurred fuel and purchased power expenses. Given the significance of these costs, PSO and SWEPCo expect the costs to be subject to prudency reviews. Management believes these costs are impactedprobable of future recovery, but expects the recovery period to be extended to mitigate the impact on customer bills.
In March 2021, the APSC issued an order authorizing recovery of the Arkansas jurisdictional share of the retail customer fuel costs over five years, with the appropriate carrying charge to be determined at a later date. Accordingly, in April 2021, SWEPCo began recovery of its Arkansas jurisdictional share of these fuel costs, which are subject to true-up by federal income tax implications.the APSC. Also in April 2021, SWEPCo filed testimony supporting a five-year recovery with a pretax rate of return of 6.05% which has been supported by APSC staff. Various other parties have recommended recovery periods ranging from 5-20 years with a pretax rate of return of 1.65%. In December 2017, Tax ReformJuly 2021, the APSC ordered more testimony regarding the option of utilizing securitization to recover the fuel costs. Once testimony concludes, a hearing will be scheduled. The prudency of these fuel costs is expected to be addressed in a separate proceeding.
In March 2021, the LPSC approved a special order granting a temporary modification to the FAC that allows SWEPCo to recover the Louisiana jurisdictional share of these retail fuel costs over a longer period than what the FAC traditionally allows. In April 2021, SWEPCo began recovery of its Louisiana jurisdictional share of these fuel costs based on a five year recovery period. SWEPCo will work with the LPSC to finalize the actual recovery period and determine the appropriate carrying charge in future proceedings.
In April 2021, the OCC approved a waiver for PSO allowing the deferral of the extraordinary fuel and purchase of electricity costs, including carrying costs at an interim rate of 0.75%, over a longer time period than what the FAC traditionally allows. Also in April 2021, legislation was enacted which will impact outstanding ratein Oklahoma to securitize the extraordinary fuel and regulatory matters. For additional details onpurchase of electricity costs impacting the utilities within the state. Under the legislation, the OCC has the authority to determine, after receiving an application from a rate-regulated utility, if the extraordinary fuel and purchase of electricity costs incurred in February 2021 may be mitigated through securitization to reduce the impact on customer bills. PSO has filed an application for a financing order to pursue securitization.
SWEPCo expects to make a filing with the PUCT in the third quarter of Tax Reform, see Note 11 - Income Taxes.2021 to seek a recovery mechanism and an appropriate carrying charge for the Texas jurisdictional share of the retail fuel costs.
Wholesale Customers
During the first quarter of 2021, SWEPCo billed wholesale customers $104 million resulting from the severe winter weather events. SWEPCo worked with wholesale customers to establish payment terms for the outstanding accounts receivable. As of June 30, 2021, $63 million of accounts receivable from wholesale customers are outstanding. Management believes these receivables are probable of future collection.
PSO and SWEPCo Cash Flow Implications
PSO and SWEPCo evaluated financing alternatives to address the timing difference between the payment of the estimated natural gas expenses and purchases of electricity to suppliers and subsequent recovery from customers. In March 2021, PSO drew $100 million on its revolving credit facility and SWEPCo issued $500 million of Senior Unsecured Notes. In March 2021, Parent entered into a $500 million 364-day Term Loan and borrowed the full amount. The proceeds from this loan were used to help fund capital contributions to PSO and SWEPCo totaling $425 million and $100 million, respectively. In April 2021, PSO received an additional capital contribution from Parent of $125 million to further address these costs.
Although the February 2021 severe winter weather did not materially impact AEP’s results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, if either PSO or SWEPCo is unable to recover these fuel and purchased power costs, or obtain authorization of a reasonable carrying charge on these costs, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
COVID-19 Pandemic
During 2020, AEP’s electric operating companies informed both retail customers and state regulators that disconnections for non-payment were temporarily suspended. Shortly thereafter, AEP’s state regulators also imposed temporary moratoria on customary disconnection practices. As of June 30, 2021, AEP’s electric operating companies have resumed customary disconnection practices in all regulated jurisdictions with the exception of Virginia. AEP continues to work with regulators and stakeholders in Virginia and management currently anticipates resuming customary disconnection practices in the third quarter of 2021. Continuing adverse economic conditions may result in the inability of customers to pay for electric service, which could affect revenue recognition and the collectability of accounts receivable. If any costs related to COVID-19 are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
AEP Texas Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and AEP Texas)
AEP Texas Interim Transmission and Distribution Rates
As of March 31, 2018,Through June 30, 2021, AEP Texas’ cumulative revenues from interim base rate increases from 2008 through 2017,that are subject to review are estimated to be $830is approximately $171 million. A base rate review could produceresult in a refund to customers if AEP Texas incurs a disallowance of the transmission or distribution investment on which an interim increase was based. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses, if any, that are reasonably possible of occurring. A revenue decrease, including a refund of interim transmission and distribution rates, could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
In March 2018, AEP Texas filed an application to reduce its transmission rates by $24 million to reflect the lower federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform. The filing did not address the return of excess deferred income tax benefits to customers.
In April 2018, AEP Texas filed an application to amend its Distribution Cost Recovery Factor (DCRF). The filing sought to increase revenues by approximately $3 million, which includes capital investment additions of $24 million offset by a reduction of $21 million due to a lower federal income tax rate as a result of Tax Reform. The filing did not address the return of excess deferred income tax benefits to customers. New rates will be effective September 1, 2018.
In April 2018, the PUCT adopted a rule requiring investor-owned utilities operating solely inside ERCOT to make periodic filings for rate proceedings. The proposal requires AEP Texasis required to file for a comprehensive rate review no later than May 1, 2019.April 3, 2024.

APCo and WPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and APCo)
2017-2019 Virginia Triennial Review
In AugustNovember 2020, the Virginia SCC issued an order on APCo’s 2017-2019 Triennial Review filing concluding that APCo earned above its authorized ROE but within its ROE band for the 2017-2019 period, resulting in no refund to customers and no change to APCo base rates on a prospective basis. The Virginia SCC approved a prospective 9.2% ROE for APCo's 2020-2022 triennial review period with the continuation of a 140 basis point band (8.5% bottom, 9.2% midpoint, 9.9% top).
In December 2020, an intervenor filed a petition at the Virginia SCC requesting reconsideration of: (a) the failure of the Virginia SCC to apply a threshold earnings test to the approved regulatory asset for APCo’s closed coal-fired generation assets, (b) the Virginia SCC’s use of a 2011 benchmark study to measure the replacement value of capacity for purposes of APCo’s 2017 Hurricane Harvey hit– 2019 earnings test and (c) the coastreasonableness and prudency of Texas, causingAPCo’s investments in AMI meters.
In December 2020, APCo filed a petition at the Virginia SCC requesting reconsideration of: (a) certain issues related to APCo’s going-forward rates and (b) the Virginia SCC’s decision to deny APCo tariff changes that align rates with underlying costs. For APCo’s going-forward rates, APCo requested that the Virginia SCC clarify its final order and clarify whether APCo’s current rates will allow it to earn a fair return. If the Virginia SCC’s order did conclude on APCo’s ability to earn a fair return through existing base rates, APCo further requested that the Virginia SCC clarify whether it has the authority to also permit an increase in base rates.
In March 2021, an intervenor filed its assignments of error with the Virginia Supreme Court related to the appeal of the November 2020 order in which it stated the Virginia SCC erred: (a) in determining that Virginia law did not apply to its determination to permit amortization for recovery of costs associated with retired coal-fired generation assets, (b) in establishing a new regulatory asset for a cost incurred outside of the triennial review period due to its failure to apply a threshold earnings test before approving deferred cost recovery and (c) in misapplying the requirement that APCo bear the burden of demonstrating that power outagespurchases made by APCo from its affiliate, OVEC, were priced at the lower of OVEC’s cost or the market price for nonaffiliated power.
In March 2021, APCo filed its assignments of error with the Virginia Supreme Court related to its appeal of the November 2020 order in which it stated the Virginia SCC erred: (a) in finding that costs associated with asset impairments related to early retirement determinations made by APCo for certain generation facilities should not be attributed to the test periods under review and deemed fully recovered in the AEP Texas service territory. AEP Texas hasperiod recorded, (b) in finding that it was permitted to evaluate the reasonableness of APCo’s decision to record, per books for financial reporting purposes, asset impairments related to early retirement determinations for certain generation facilities, (c) as a PUCT approved catastrophe reserveresult of the errors described in (a) and (b), in denying APCo an increase in rates, (d) in failing to review and make any findings regarding whether APCo’s rates would allow it to earn a fair rate of return going forward, (e) in denying APCo an increase in base rates by failing to ensure that APCo has an opportunity to recover its costs and can defer incremental storm expenses. AEP Texas currently recovers approximately $1 millionearn a fair rate of stormreturn, thereby resulting in a taking of private property for public use without just compensation and (f) in retroactively adjusting APCo’s depreciation expense for purposes of calculating APCo’s earnings for the 2017-2019 triennial period.
In March 2021, the Virginia SCC issued an order confirming certain of its decisions from the November 2020 order and rejecting the various requests for reconsideration from APCo and an intervenor. In confirming its decision to reject an intervenor’s recommendation that APCo’s AMI costs annually through base rates. Asincurred during the triennial period be disallowed, the Virginia SCC clarified that APCo established the need to replace its existing AMR meters, and that based on the uncertainty surrounding the continued manufacturing and support of AMR technology, APCo reasonably chose to replace them with AMI meters. In March 31, 2018,
2021, APCo filed a notice of appeal of the total balance of AEP Texas’ deferred storm costs is approximately $129 million, inclusive of approximately $105 millionof incremental storm expenses recorded as a regulatory asset related to Hurricane Harvey. As of March 31, 2018, AEP Texas has recorded approximately $186 millionof capital expenditures related to Hurricane Harvey. Also, as of March 31, 2018, AEP Texas has received $10 million in insurance proceeds, which were applied to the regulatory asset and property, plant and equipment. Management, in conjunctionreconsideration order with the insurance adjusters, is reviewing all damagesVirginia Supreme Court. APCo expects to determinesubmit its brief before the extent of coverage for additional insurance reimbursement. Any future insurance recoveries received will be applied to and will offset the regulatory asset and property, plant and equipment, as applicable. Management believes the amount recorded as a regulatory asset is probable of recovery and AEP Texas is currently evaluating recovery options for the regulatory asset, including securitization. The standard process for storm cost recoveryVirginia Supreme Court in Texas requires two filings with the PUCT. Management expects the first filing by the end of the third quarter of 2018. If2021.
In April 2021, and in conjunction with APCo’s November 2020 and March 2021 appeals with the ultimate costsVirginia Supreme Court, APCo filed a petition for interim rates with the Virginia Supreme Court (subject to refund with interest and supported by a bond issuance) requesting a $40 million increase in annual APCo Virginia base rates. APCo submitted this filing based on Virginia law that allows the Virginia Supreme Court to authorize interim rates until the final disposition on APCo’s appeals. APCo also requested an expedited schedule from the Virginia Supreme Court on APCo’s appeals. In May 2021, the Virginia Supreme Court denied APCo’s petition for an interim rate increase and denied the request for an expedited schedule on APCo’s appeals.
APCo ultimately seeks an increase in base rates through its appeal to the Virginia Supreme Court. Among other issues, this appeal includes APCo’s request for proper treatment of the incidentclosed coal-fired plant assets in APCo’s 2017-2019 triennial period, reducing APCo’s earnings below the bottom of its authorized ROE band. If APCo’s appeals regarding treatment of the closed coal plants are not recoveredgranted by insurance or through the regulatory process,Virginia Supreme Court, it would have an adverse effect oncould initially reduce future net income cash flows and impact financial condition. The initial negative impact for the write-off of closed coal-fired plant asset balances would potentially be partially offset by an increase in base rates for earning below APCo’s 2017-2019 authorized ROE band.
APCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and APCo)CCR/ELG Compliance Plan Filings
Virginia Legislation Affecting Earnings Reviews
In 2015, amendments to Virginia law governing the regulation of investor-owned electric utilities were enacted. Under the amended Virginia law, APCo’s existing generation and distribution base rates were frozen until afterDecember 2020, APCo submitted filings with the Virginia SCC ruled on APCo’s next biennial review. These amendments also precludedand WVPSC requesting approvals necessary to implement CCR/ELG compliance plans at the Amos and Mountaineer Plants. Intervenors in Virginia and West Virginia recommended that only the CCR-related investments be constructed at Amos and Mountaineer and, as a consequence, APCo close these generating facilities at the end of 2028. In July 2021, a Virginia Senior Hearing Examiner recommended that the Virginia SCC from performing biennial reviewsdeny, at this time, APCo’s request for approval of APCo’s earnings for the years 2014 through 2017.
In March 2018, new Virginia legislation impacting investor-owned utilities was enacted, effective July 1, 2018,ELG investments at the Amos and Mountaineer Plants. The examiner also recommended that will: (a) on a one-time basis, require APCo to exclude $10 million of fuel expenses from the July 2018 over/under calculation, (b) reduce APCo’s base rates by $50 million annually no later than July 30, 2018, on an interim basis and subject to true-up, to reflect the lower federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform, (c) require APCo to file its next generation and distribution base rate case by March 31, 2020 using 2017, 2018 and 2019 test years (“triennial review”), (d) require an adjustment in APCo’s base rates on April 1, 2019 to reflect actual annual reductions in corporate income taxes due to Tax Reform, (e) require APCo to obtain approval fromif the Virginia SCC ultimately does not grant APCo approval of the ELG investments, the Virginia SCC should delay consideration of the reasonableness and prudency of previously incurred ELG costs until a future case.
APCo’s current estimate of its total CCR/ELG cost of investment for energy efficiency programs with projectedthe Amos and Mountaineer plants, including AFUDC, is approximately $240 million. As of June 30, 2021, APCo’s total company CCR and ELG investment balances in CWIP for these plants were $8 million and $28 million, respectively.
If any of APCo’s CCR/ELG costs in the aggregate of at least $140 million over the 10-year period from July 1, 2018 through July 1, 2028 and (f) require APCo to construct and/or acquire solar generation facilities in Virginia of at least 200 MW of aggregate capacity. Triennial reviews are subject to an earnings test which provides that any over earnings may be reinvested innot approved energy distribution grid transformation projects. The Virginia SCC’s triennial review of 2017-2019 APCo earnings couldfor recovery, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
ETT Rate Matters (Applies to AEP)
ETT Interim Transmission Rates
AEP has a 50% equity ownership interest in ETT. Predominantly all of ETT’s revenues are based on interim rate changes that can be filed twice annually and are subject to review and possible true-up in the next filed base rate proceeding. Through March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, AEP’s share of ETT’s cumulative revenues that are subject to review is estimated to be $781 million.approximately $1.3 billion.A base rate review could produce a refund if ETT incurs a disallowance of the transmission investment on which an interim increase was based. A revenue decrease, including a refund of interim transmission rates, could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses, if any, that are reasonably possible of occurring.
In February 2018, ETT filed an application to reduce its transmission rates by $27 million to reflect the lower federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform. The filing did not address the return of excess deferred income tax benefits to customers.
In April 2018, the PUCT adopted a rule requiring investor-owned utilities operating solely inside ERCOT to make periodic filings for rate proceedings. The rule requires ETTis required to file for a comprehensive rate review no later than February 1, 2021.2023, during which the $1.3 billion of cumulative revenues above will be subject to review.
I&M Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and I&M)
2017Indiana Earnings Test Filings
I&M is required by Indiana law to submit an earnings test evaluation for the most recent one-year and five-year periods as part of I&M’s semi-annual Indiana FAC filings. These earnings test evaluations require I&M to include a credit in the FAC factor computation for periods in which I&M earned above its authorized return for both the one-year and five-year periods. The credit is determined as 50% of the lower of the one-year or five-year earnings above the authorized level. In July 2021, I&M will submit its FAC filing and earnings test evaluation for the period ended May 2021. As of June 30, 2021, I&M’s financial statements adequately reflect the estimated impact of I&M’s upcoming Indiana earnings test filings. If it is determined that I&M’s over-earnings exceed what has been recorded, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2021 Indiana Base Rate Case
In July 2017,2021, I&M filed a request with the IURC for a $263 million annual increase in Indiana rates based upon a proposed 10.6% return on common equity with the annual increase to be implemented after June 2018. Upon implementation, this proposed annual increase would be subject to a temporary offsetting $23 million annual reduction to customer bills through December 2018 for a credit adjustment rider related to the timing of estimated in-service dates of certain capital expenditures. The proposed annual increase includes $78 million related to increased annual depreciation rates and an $11 million increase related to the amortization of certain Cook Plant and Rockport Plant regulatory assets. The increase in depreciation rates includes a change in the expected retirement date for Rockport Plant, Unit 1 from 2044 to 2028 combined with increased investment at the Cook Plant, including the Cook Plant Life Cycle Management Project.
In November 2017, various intervenors filed testimony that included annual revenue increase recommendations ranging from $125 million to $152 million. The recommended returns on common equity ranged from 8.65% to 9.1%. In addition, certain parties recommended longer recovery periods than I&M proposed for recovery of regulatory assets and depreciation expenses related to Rockport Plant, Units 1 and 2. In January 2018, in response to a January 2018 IURC request related to the impact of Tax Reform on I&M’s pending base rate case, I&M filed updated schedules supporting a $191$104 million annual increase in Indiana base rates ifbased upon a proposed 10% ROE. I&M proposed a phased-in annual increase in rates of $73 million effective in May 2022 with the effect of Tax Reform was included in the cost of service.
In February 2018, I&M and all parties to the case, except one industrial customer, filed a Stipulation and Settlement Agreement for a $97remaining $31 million annual increase in Indiana rates to be effective January 2023. The proposed annual increase includes $7 million related to an annual increase in depreciation expense, driven by increased depreciation rates and proposed investments. The request also includes a new AMI rider for proposed meter projects. Intervenor testimony is expected in the fourth quarter of 2021. If any costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
KPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP)
CCR/ELG Compliance Plan Filings
KPCo and WPCo each own a 50% interest in the Mitchell Plant. In December 2020 and February 2021, WPCo and KPCo filed requests with the WVPSC and KPSC, respectively, to obtain the regulatory approvals necessary to implement CCR and ELG compliance plans and seek recovery of the estimated $132 million investment for the Mitchell Plant that would allow the plant to continue operating through 2040. Within those requests, WPCo and KPCo also filed a $25 million alternative to implement only the CCR-related investments with the WVPSC and KPSC, respectively, which would allow the Mitchell Plant to continue operating only through 2028.
In May 2021, intervenors in Kentucky and West Virginia submitted testimony with recommendations that only the CCR-related investments be constructed at the Mitchell Plant. In July 1, 2018 subject2021, the KPSC issued an order approving the CCR only alternative and rejecting the full CCR and ELG compliance plan. As of June 30, 2021, the total of the Mitchell Plant CCR and ELG investment balances in CWIP, was $2 million and $4 million, respectively, split equally between KPCo and WPCo. As of June 30, 2021, the net book value of the Mitchell Plant, before cost of removal including CWIP and inventory, was $1.2 billion, split equally between KPCo and WPCo.
If any of the CCR and ELG compliance plan costs are not approved for recovery and/or the retirement date of the Mitchell Plant is accelerated to 2028 without commensurate cost recovery, it would reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
OPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and OPCo)
2020 Ohio Base Rate Case
In June 2020, OPCo filed a temporary offsetting reduction to customer bills through December 2018request with the PUCO for a credit rider related to the timing of estimated in-service dates of certain capital expenditures. The one industrial customer agreed to not oppose the Stipulation and Settlement Agreement. The difference between I&M’s requested $263 million annual increase and the $97$42 million annual increase in base rates based upon a proposed 10.15% ROE net of existing riders. Additionally, OPCo filed a request with the StipulationPUCO for a 60-day temporary delay of the normal rate case proceeding due to the COVID-19 pandemic with rates expected to be effective approximately mid-2021.
In November 2020, the PUCO staff filed testimony supporting an annual revenue decrease ranging from $102 million to $123 million based upon an ROE of 8.76% to 9.78%. The difference between OPCo’s request and Settlement Agreementthe staff testimony are primarily due to reductions in: (a) demand-side management programs of $40 million, (b) ROE ranging from $9 million to $30 million, (c) employee-related expenses of $23 million, (d) rate base of $19 million, (e) property taxes of $17 million, (f) other various expenses of $15 million, (g) depreciation expense of $11 million and (h) vegetation management programs of $10 million which is subject to over/under-recovery through a rider. The staff’s proposed disallowance of plant in service could also result in a write-off of up to $27 million. In addition, the staff recommended that capitalized incentives be excluded from base rates prospectively and also recommended annual revenue caps for the DIR of $57 million in 2021, $78 million in 2022, $96 million in 2023 and $46 million for the first five months of 2024. In December 2020, OPCo and intervenors filed objections.
In March 2021, OPCo, the PUCO staff and various intervenors filed a joint stipulation and settlement agreement with the PUCO. The agreement includes a $68 million annual decrease in base rates based on an ROE of 9.7%. The difference between OPCo’s requested annual base rate increase and the agreed upon decrease is primarily due to a result of: (a) the reduction in the federal income tax rate duerequested ROE, the removal of proposed future energy efficiency costs and a decrease in vegetation management expenses moved to Tax Reform,recovery in riders. Additionally, the agreement includes: (a) an increased fixed monthly residential customer charge, (b) the feedbackdiscontinuation of creditsrate decoupling and (c) the continuation of the DIR with annual revenue caps of $57 million in 2021, $91 million in 2022, $116 million in 2023 and $51 million for excess deferredthe first five months of 2024. Annual revenue caps for the DIR can be increased if OPCo achieves certain reliability standards. If the joint stipulation and settlement agreement is approved by the PUCO, new base rates will go into effect 14 days after such approval. A hearing took place with the PUCO in May 2021 and initial briefs were filed in June 2021 followed by reply briefs in July 2021. An order from the PUCO is expected by the end of 2021. If the joint stipulation and settlement agreement is denied by the PUCO, it could reduce future net income taxes, (c)and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2019 Ohio DIR Audit
OPCo conducts business under an ESP as approved by the PUCO which subjects the DIR to annual audits. In August 2020, a 9.95% return on equity, (d) longer recovery periodsthird-party consulting company filed an audit report with the PUCO indicating that OPCo exceeded its 2019 authorized revenue limit by $17 million. Management disagrees with the audit results and believes that OPCo was below its authorized revenue limit in 2019. The PUCO has not yet issued a procedural schedule to address the audit results. If the results of regulatory assets, (e) lowerthe audit are upheld by the PUCO and any refunds to customers or revenue reductions are ordered, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
PSO Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and PSO)
2021 Oklahoma Base Rate Case
In April 2021, PSO filed a request with the OCC for a $172 million net annual increase in Oklahoma base rates based upon a 10% ROE. The proposed net annual increase includes: (a) a $57 million annual depreciation expense primarily for metersincrease, of which $45 million is related to the accelerated depreciation recovery of the Oklaunion Power Station and (f) an increaseNortheastern Plant, Unit 3 through 2026 and (b) $31 million related to increased SPP expenses. PSO also requested the continuation of its SPP Transmission Tariff that tracks transmission costs as well as continuation and expansion of its Distribution and Safety Reliability Rider to recover projects in the sharing of off-system sales margins with customers from 50% to 95%. If the Stipulationits proposed grid transformation and Settlement is approved, I&M will also refund $4revitalization plan, which includes $100 million from July through December 2018 for the impact of Tax Reform for the period January through June 2018. A hearing at the IURC was held in March 2018 and an IURC orderannual capital spend over a 5 year period. Intervenor testimony is expected in the secondthird quarter of 2018.2021. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
SWEPCo Rate Case
In May 2017, I&M filed a request with the MPSC for a $52 million annual increase in Michigan base rates based upon a proposed 10.6% return on common equity with the increase to be implemented no later than April 2018. The proposed annual increase includes $23 million related to increased annual depreciation rates and a $4 million increase related to the amortization of certain Cook Plant regulatory assets. The increase in depreciation rates is primarily due to the proposed change in the expected retirement date for Rockport Plant, Unit 1 from 2044 to 2028 combined with increased investment at the Cook Plant related to the Life Cycle Management Project.
In February 2018, an MPSC ALJ issued a Proposal for Decision and recommended an annual revenue increase of $49 million, including an intervenors’ proposed capacity rate based on PJM’s net cost of new entry value of $289/MW-day and MPSC staff’s recommended calculation of depreciation expense for both units of Rockport Plant through 2028 and a return on common equity of 9.8%. If the maximum 10% of customers choose an alternate supplier starting in February 2019, the estimated annual pretax loss due to the reduced capacity rate would be approximately $9 million until adjusted in the next base rate case.
In April 2018, the MPSC issued an order that generally approved the ALJ proposal resulting in an annual revenue increase of $49 million, effective April 2018 based on a 9.9% return on common equity. The MPSC also approved the ALJ’s recommendation related to the capacity rate.
Rockport Plant, Unit 2 SCR
In October 2016, I&M filed an application with the IURC for approval of a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) to install SCR technology at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 by December 2019. The equipment will allow I&M to reduce emissions of NOx from Rockport Plant, Unit 2 in order for I&M to continue to operate that unit under current environmental requirements. The estimated cost of the SCR project is $274 million, excluding AFUDC, to be shared equally between I&M and AEGCo. As of March 31, 2018, total costs incurred related to this project, including AFUDC, were approximately $28 million. The filing included a request for authorization for I&M to defer its Indiana jurisdictional ownership share of costs including investment carrying costs at a weighted average cost of capital (WACC), depreciation over a 10-year period as provided by statute and other related expenses. I&M proposed recovery of these costs using the existing Clean Coal Technology Rider in a future filing subsequent to approval of the SCR project. The AEGCo ownership share of the proposed SCR project will be billable under the Rockport UPA to I&M and KPCo and will be subject to future regulatory approval for recovery.
In March 2018, the IURC issued an order approving: (a) the CPCN, (b) the $274 million estimated cost of the SCR, excluding AFUDC, (c) deferral accounting for the Indiana jurisdictional ownership share of costs, including investment carrying costs, (d) depreciation of the SCR asset over 10 years and (e) recovery of these costs using I&M’s existing Indiana Clean Coal Technology Rider.
In April 2018, a group of intervenors filed a Petition for Reconsideration and Rehearing of the March 2018 IURC order. The intervenors requested that the IURC reopen the proceeding primarily to address whether allowing I&M any cost recovery for the SCR would constitute a cross-subsidization issue and to reverse its finding approving cost recovery for the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 SCR project. Also in April 2018, I&M filed a response to the intervenors’ petition.
KPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP)
2017 Kentucky Base Rate Case
In January 2018, the KPSC issued an order approving a non-unanimous settlement agreement with certain modifications resulting in an annual revenue increase of $12 million, effective January 2018, based on a 9.7% return on equity. The KPSC’s primary revenue requirement modification to the settlement agreement was a $14 million annual revenue reduction for the decrease in the corporate federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform. The KPSC approved: (a) the deferral of a total of $50 million of Rockport Plant UPA expenses for the years 2018 through 2022, with the manner and timing of recovery of the deferral to be addressed in KPCo’s next base rate case, (b) the recovery/return of 80% of certain annual PJM OATT expenses above/below the corresponding level recovered in base rates, (c) KPCo’s commitment to not file a base rate case for three years with rates effective no earlier than 2021 and (d) increased depreciation expense based upon updated Big Sandy Plant, Unit 1 depreciation rates using a 20-year depreciable life.
In February 2018, KPCo filed with the KPSC for rehearing of the January 2018 base case order and requested an additional $2.3 million of annual revenue increases related to: (a) the calculation of federal income tax expense, (b) recovery of purchased power costs associated with forced outages and (c) capital structure adjustments. Also in February 2018, an intervenor filed for rehearing recommending that the reduced corporate federal income tax rate be reflected in lower purchased power expense related to the Rockport UPA. In February 2018, the KPSC issued an order granting rehearing of these items, with an exception for the capital structure adjustments, which was denied by the KPSC.
OPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and OPCo)SWEPCo)
Ohio Electric Security Plan Filings
June 2015 - May 2018 ESP Including PPA Application and Proposed ESP Extension through 2024
In 2013, OPCo filed an application with the PUCO to approve an ESP that included proposed rate adjustments and the continuation and modification of certain existing riders, including the DIR, effective June 2015 through May 2018. The proposal also involved a PPA rider that would include OPCo’s OVEC contractual entitlement (OVEC PPA) and would allow retail customers to receive a rate stabilizing charge or credit by hedging market-based prices with a cost-based PPA.
In 2015 and 2016, the PUCO issued orders in this proceeding. As part of the issued orders, the PUCO approved (a) the DIR with modified rate caps, (b) recovery of OVEC-related net margin incurred beginning June 2016, (c) potential additional contingent customer credits of up to $15 million to be included in the PPA rider over the final four years of the PPA rider and (d) the limitation that OPCo will not flow through any capacity performance penalties or bonuses through the PPA rider. Additionally, subject to cost recovery and PUCO approval, OPCo agreed to develop and implement, by 2021, a solar energy project(s) of at least 400 MWs and a wind energy project(s) of at least 500 MWs, with 100% of all output to be received by OPCo. AEP affiliates could own up to 50% of these solar and wind projects. In December 2016, in accordance with the stipulation agreement, OPCo filed a carbon reduction plan that focused on fuel diversification and carbon emission reductions. In April 2017, the PUCO rejected all pending rehearing requests. In June 2017, intervenors filed appeals to the Supreme Court of Ohio stating that the PUCO’s approval of the OVEC PPA was unlawful and does not provide customers with rate stability.
In November 2016, OPCo refiled its amended ESP extension application and supporting testimony, consistent with the terms of the modified and approved stipulation agreement and based upon a 2016 PUCO order. The amended filing proposed to extend the ESP through May 2024 and included (a) an extension of the OVEC PPA rider, (b) a proposed 10.41% return on common equity on capital costs for certain riders, (c) the continuation of riders previously approved in the June 2015 - May 2018 ESP, (d) proposed increases in rate caps related to OPCo’s DIR and (e) the addition of various new riders, including a Renewable Resource Rider.
In August 2017, OPCo and various intervenors filed a stipulation agreement with the PUCO. The stipulation extends the term of the ESP through May 2024 and includes: (a) an extension of the OVEC PPA rider, (b) a proposed 10% return on common equity on capital costs for certain riders, (c) the continuation of riders previously approved in the June 2015 - May 2018 ESP, (d) rate caps related to OPCo’s DIR ranging from $215 million to $290 million for the periods 2018 through 2021 and (e) the addition of various new riders, including a Smart City Rider and a Renewable Generation Rider. DIR rate caps will be reset in OPCo’s next distribution base rate case which must be filed by June 2020.
In October 2017, intervenor testimony opposing the stipulation agreement was filed recommending: (a) a return on common equity to not exceed 9.3% for riders earning a return on capital investments, (b) that OPCo should file a base distribution case concurrent with the conclusion of the current ESP in May 2018 and (c) denial of certain new riders proposed in OPCo’s ESP extension. The stipulation was reviewed by the PUCO at a hearing in November 2017.
In April 2018, the PUCO issued an order approving the stipulation agreement, with no significant changes.
2016 SEET Filing
Ohio law provides for the return of significantly excessive earnings to ratepayers upon PUCO review. Significantly excessive earnings are measured by whether the earned return on common equity of the electric utility is significantly in excess of the return on common equity that was earned during the same period by publicly traded companies, including utilities, that face comparable business and financial risk.
In December 2016, OPCo recorded a 2016 SEET provision of $58 million based upon projected earnings data for companies in the comparable utilities risk group. In determining OPCo’s return on equity in relation to the comparable utilities risk group, management excluded the following items resolved in OPCo’s Global Settlement that was filed at the PUCO in December 2016 and subsequently approved in February 2017: (a) gain on the deferral of RSR costs, (b) refunds to customers related to the SEET remands and (c) refunds to customers related to fuel adjustment clause proceedings.
In May 2017, OPCo submitted its 2016 SEET filing with the PUCO in which management indicated that OPCo did not have significantly excessive earnings in 2016 based upon actual earnings data for the comparable utilities risk group.
In January 2018, PUCO staff filed testimony that OPCo did not have significantly excessive earnings. Also in January 2018, an intervenor filed testimony recommending a $53 million refund to customers. In February 2018, OPCo and PUCO staff filed a stipulation agreement in which both parties agreed that OPCo did not have significantly excessive earnings in 2016.
A 2016 SEET hearing was held in April 2018 and management expects to receive an order in the second half of 2018. While management believes that OPCo’s adjusted 2016 earnings were not excessive, management did not adjust OPCo’s 2016 SEET provision due to risks that the PUCO could rule against OPCo’s proposed SEET adjustments, including treatment of the Global Settlement issues described above, adjust the comparable risk group or adopt a different 2016 SEET threshold. If the PUCO orders a refund of 2016 OPCo earnings, it could negatively affect future SEET filings, reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
SWEPCo Rate Matters (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)
2012 Texas Base Rate Case
In 2012, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT to increase annual base rates primarily due to the completion of the Turk Plant. In 2013, the PUCT issued an order affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant but determined that the Turk Plant’s Texas jurisdictional capital cost cap established in a previous Certificate of Convenience and Necessity case also limited SWEPCo’s recovery of AFUDC in addition to limits on its recovery of cash construction costs.
Upon rehearing in 2014, the PUCT reversed its initial ruling and determined that AFUDC was excluded from the Turk Plant’s Texas jurisdictional capital cost cap. As a result, SWEPCo reversed $114 million of a previously recorded regulatory disallowancesdisallowance in 2013. The resulting annual base rate increase was approximately $52 million. In June 2017, the Texas District Court upheld the PUCT’s 2014 order. In July 2017,order and intervenors filed appeals with the Texas Third Court of Appeals.
In AprilJuly 2018, oral arguments were heard bythe Texas Third Court of Appeals reversed the PUCT’s judgment affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant and remanded the issue back to the PUCT. In January 2019, SWEPCo and the PUCT filed petitions for review with the Texas Supreme Court. In March 2021, the Texas Supreme Court issued an opinion reversing the July 2018 judgment of the Texas Third Court of Appeals and agreeing with the PUCT’s judgment affirming the prudence of the Turk Plant. In addition, the Texas Supreme Court remanded the AFUDC dispute back to the Texas Third Court of Appeals. No parties filed a motion for rehearing with the Texas Supreme Court. SWEPCo awaits a decision on the AFUDC dispute from the Texas Third Court of Appeals.
As of June 30, 2021, the net book value of Turk Plant was $1.4 billion, before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and CWIP. If certain parts of the PUCT order are overturned and if SWEPCo cannot ultimately fully recover its approximate 33% Texas jurisdictional share of the Turk Plant investment, including AFUDC, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2016 Texas Base Rate Case
In December 2016, SWEPCo filed a request with the PUCT for a net increase in Texas annual revenues of $69 million based upon a 10% return on common equity.ROE. In January 2018, the PUCT issued a final order approving a net increase in Texas annual revenues of $50 million based upon a return on common equityROE of 9.6%, effective May 2017. The final order also includedincluded: (a) approval to recover the Texas jurisdictional share of environmental investments placed in service,in-service, as of June 30, 2016, at various plants, including Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3, (b) approval of recovery of, but no return on, the Texas jurisdictional share of the net book value of Welsh Plant, Unit 2, (c) approval of $2 million in additional vegetation management expenses and (d) the rejection of SWEPCo’s proposed transmission cost recovery mechanism.
As a result of the final order in 2017, SWEPCoSWEPCo: (a) recorded an impairment charge of $19 million, which includesincluded $7 million associated with the lack of return on Welsh Plant, Unit 2 and $12 million related to other disallowed plant investments, (b) recognized $32 million of additional revenues, for the period of May 2017 through December 2017, that will bewas surcharged to customers in 2018and (c) recognized an additional $7 million of expenses consisting primarily of depreciation expense and vegetation management expense, offset by the deferral of rate case expenses.expense. SWEPCo implemented new rates in February 2018 billings. The $32 million of additional 2017 revenues will bewas collected by the end ofduring 2018. In March 2018, the PUCT clarified and corrected portions of the final order, without changing the overall decision or amounts of the rate change. ThisThe order has been appealed by various intervenors. The appeal will move forward following the conclusion of the 2012 Texas Base Rate Case. If certain parts of the PUCT order are overturned, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Hurricane Laura
In August 2020, Hurricane Laura hit the coasts of Louisiana and Texas, causing power outages to more than 130,000 customers across SWEPCo’s service territories. Prior to Hurricane Laura, SWEPCo did not have a catastrophe reserve or automatic deferral authority within any of its jurisdictions. In October 2020, the LPSC issued an order allowing Louisiana utilities, including SWEPCo, to establish a regulatory asset to track and defer expenses associated with Hurricane Laura. In October 2020, as part of the 2020 Texas Base Rate Case, SWEPCo requested deferral authority of incremental other operation and maintenance expenses. As of June 30, 2021, management estimates that SWEPCo has incurred incremental other operation and maintenance expenses of $83 million ($81 million of which has been deferred as a regulatory asset related to the Louisiana jurisdiction) and incremental capital expenditures of $30 million, all of which is subjectrelated to appealthe Louisiana jurisdiction. Management expects to request recovery of these storm costs, in addition to the Hurricane Delta and February 2021 winter storm costs, in a future filing. If any costs related to Hurricane Laura are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Hurricane Delta
In October 2020, Hurricane Delta hit the coast of Louisiana, causing power outages to more than 23,000 customers in SWEPCo’s Louisiana jurisdiction. In November 2020, the LPSC issued an order allowing Louisiana utilities, including SWEPCo, to establish a regulatory asset to track and defer expenses associated with Hurricane Delta. As of June 30, 2021, management estimates that SWEPCo has incurred incremental other operation and maintenance expenses of $17 million, which has been deferred as early asa regulatory asset. Also, management estimates that SWEPCo has incurred incremental capital expenditures of $3 million. Management expects to request recovery of these storm costs, in addition to the second quarter 2018. Hurricane Laura and February 2021 winter storm costs, in a future filing. If any costs related to Hurricane Delta are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2020 Texas Base Rate Case
In April 2018,October 2020, SWEPCo made an income taxfiled a request with the PUCT for a $105 million annual increase in Texas base rates based upon a proposed 10.35% ROE. The request would move transmission and distribution interim revenues recovered through riders into base rates. Eliminating these riders would result in a net annual requested base rate refund tariff filingincrease of $90 million primarily due to increased investments. The proposed net annual increase: (a) includes $5 million related to vegetation management to maintain and improve the reliability of SWEPCo’s Texas jurisdictional distribution system, (b) requests a $10 million annual depreciation increase and (c) seeks $2 million annually to establish a storm catastrophe reserve. In addition, SWEPCo requested recovery of the Texas jurisdictional share of the Dolet Hills Power Station of $45 million which includesis expected to be retired by the end of 2021. In March 2021, intervenor testimony was filed supporting an annual revenue reduction of approximately $18increase ranging from $20 million to reflect the difference between rates collected under the final order and the rates that would be collected under Tax Reform. The filing did not address the return$70 million based upon an ROE of excess deferred income tax benefits9% to customers.

In April 2017,December 2020, SWEPCo filed a request with the LPSC approved an uncontested stipulation agreement thatfor a $134 million annual increase in Louisiana base rates based upon a proposed 10.35% ROE. In March 2021, SWEPCo filed for itsa revised request with the LPSC to remove hurricane storm costs from the base rate case filing and seek recovery of those costs in a separate filing. SWEPCo’s revised filing requested an annual increase in Louisiana base rates of $114 million. The request would extend the formula rate plan for test year 2015.five years and includes modifications to the formula rate plan to allow for forward-looking transmission costs, reflects the impact of net operating losses associated with the acceleration of certain tax benefits and incorporates future federal corporate income tax changes. The filing included aproposed net annual increase notrequests a $32 million annual depreciation increase to exceed $31 million, which was effective May 2017 and includes SWEPCo’s Louisiana jurisdictionalrecover Louisiana’s share of the Dolet Hills Power Station, Pirkey Power Plant and Welsh Plant, all of which are expected to be retired early. In April 2021, the LPSC approved
SWEPCo’s request to remove the hurricane storm costs from the base rate case filing. Management expects to request recovery of the $144 million of storm costs associated with Hurricanes Delta, Laura and Flint Creek Plant environmental controls which were placedthe February 2021 winter storm in service in 2016. The net annual increase is subject to refund. a separate filing.
In October 2017, SWEPCoJuly 2021, the LPSC staff filed testimony in Louisiana supporting the prudence of its environmental control investment for Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 and Flint Creek power plants. These environmental costs are subject to prudence review. A hearing at the LPSC is scheduled for May 2018. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
2018 Louisiana Formula Rate Filing
In April 2018, SWEPCo filed its formula rate plan for test year 2017 with the LPSC. The filing included a net $28$6 million annual increase which will be effective August 2018.in base rates based upon an ROE of 9.1% while other intervenors recommended an ROE ranging from 9.35% to 9.8%. The filing includedprimary differences between SWEPCo’s requested annual increase in base rates and the LPSC staff’s recommendation include: (a) a reduction in depreciation expense, (b) recovery of Dolet Hills Power Station and Pirkey Power Plant in a separate rider mechanism, (c) the rejection of SWEPCo’s proposed adjustment to include a stand-alone net operating loss carryforward deferred tax asset in rate base and (d) a reduction in the federal income tax rate dueproposed ROE. SWEPCo expects to Tax Reform. The return of excess deferred income tax benefits to customers will be addressed in a supplemental filing and will reduce the $28 million annual increase. The increase includes SWEPCo’s jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant and Flint Creek Plant environmental controls, whose prudence review hearing is scheduled for May 2018. If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
Welsh Plant - Environmental Impact
Management currently estimates that the investment necessary to meet proposed environmental regulations through 2025 for Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 could total approximately $850 million, excluding AFUDC. As of March 31, 2018, SWEPCo had incurred costs of $399 million, including AFUDC, related to these projects. Management continues to evaluate the impact of environmental rules and related project cost estimates. As of March 31, 2018, the total net book value of Welsh Plant, Units 1 and 3 was $625 million, before cost of removal, including materials and supplies inventory and CWIP.
In 2016, as approved by the APSC, SWEPCo began recovering $79 million related to the Arkansas jurisdictional share of these environmental costs, subject to prudence reviewfile rebuttal testimony in the next Arkansas filed base rate proceeding. In April 2017, the LPSC approved recoverythird quarter of $131 million in investments related to its Louisiana jurisdictional share of2021.
environmental controls installed at Welsh Plant, effective May 2017. SWEPCo’s approved Louisiana jurisdictional share of Welsh Plant deferrals: (a) are $11 million, excluding $6 million of unrecognized equity as of March 31, 2018, (b) is subject to review by the LPSC, and (c) includes a WACC return on environmental investments and the related depreciation expense and taxes. In January 2018, SWEPCo received written approval from the PUCT to recover its project costs from retail customers in its 2016 Texas base rate case and is recovering these costs from wholesale customers through SWEPCo’s FERC-approved agreements. See “2016 Texas Base Rate Case” and “2017 Louisiana Formula Rate Filing” disclosures above.
If any of these costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
FERC Rate Matters
PJM Transmission Rates (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, APCo, I&M and OPCo)
In June 2016, PJM transmission owners, including AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM, and various state commissions filed a settlement agreement at the FERC to resolve outstanding issues related to cost responsibility for charges to transmission customers for certain transmission facilities that operate at or above 500 kV. In July 2016, certain parties filed comments at the FERC contesting the settlement agreement. Upon final FERC approval, PJM would implement a transmission enhancement charge adjustment through the PJM OATT, billable through 2025. Management expects that any refunds received would generally be returned to retail customers through existing state rider mechanisms.
FERC SPP Transmission Complaint - AEP’s PJM Participants (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, APCo, I&M and OPCo)
In October 2016, seven parties filed a complaint at the FERC that alleged the base return on common equity used by AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM in calculating formula transmission rates under the PJM OATT is excessive and should be reduced from 10.99% to 8.32%, effective upon the date of the complaint. In November 2017, a FERC order set the matter for hearing and settlement procedures. In March 2018, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and six of the complainants filed a settlement agreement with the FERC (the seventh complainant abstained). If approved by the FERC the settlement agreement (a) establishes a base ROE for AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM of 9.85% (10.35% inclusive of the RTO incentive adder of 0.5%), effective January 1, 2018, (b) requires AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM to provide a one-time refund of $50 million, attributable from the date of the complaint through December 31, 2017, to be credited to customer bills in the second quarter of 2018 and (c) increases the cap on the equity portion of the capital structure to 55% from 50%. As part of the settlement agreement, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM also filed updated transmission formula rates incorporating the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate due to Tax Reform, effective January 1, 2018 and providing for the amortization of the portion of the excess accumulated deferred income taxes that are not subject to the normalization method of accounting, ratably over a ten year period through credits to the federal income tax expense component of the revenue requirement. In April 2018, an ALJ accepted the interim settlement rates, pending the FERC’s consideration of the settlement, and the rates are subject to refund or surcharge, with interest.
In April 2018, certain intervenors filed comments at the FERC recommending a base ROE of 8.48% and a one-time refund of $184 million. In addition, the FERC trial staff filed comments recommending a base ROE of 8.41% and one-time refund of $175 million. Also in April 2018, another intervenor recommended the refund be calculated in accordance with the base ROE that will ultimately be approved by the FERC. Management intends to file reply comments providing further support for the 9.85% base ROE agreed to in the settlement agreement.
Management believes the $50 million refund in the settlement agreement is the best estimate of the probable liability. If the FERC orders revenue reductions in excess of the terms of the settlement agreement, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. A decision from the FERC is pending.
Modifications to AEP’s PJM Transmission Rates (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, APCo, I&M and OPCo)
In November 2016, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM filed an application at the FERC to modify the PJM OATT formula transmission rate calculation, including an adjustment to recover a tax-related regulatory asset and a shift from historical to projected expenses. In March 2017, the FERC accepted the proposed modifications effective January 1, 2017, subject to refund, and set this matter for hearing and settlement procedures. The modified PJM OATT formula rates are based on projected calendar year financial activity and projected plant balances. In December 2017, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM filed an uncontested settlement agreement with the FERC resolving all outstanding issues. In April 2018, the FERC approved the uncontested settlement agreement and rates were implemented effective January 1, 2018.

Modifications to AEP’s SPP Transmission RatesIndependence Energy Connection Project (Applies to AEP, AEPTCo, PSO and SWEPCo)AEP)
In October 2017,2016, PJM approved the Independence Energy Connection Project (IEC) and included it in its Regional Transmission Expansion Plan (RTEP) to alleviate congestion. Transource Energy owns the IEC, which is located in Maryland and Pennsylvania. In June 2020, the Maryland Public Service Commission approved a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity to construct the portion of the IEC in Maryland. In May 2021, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PA PUC) denied the IEC certificate for siting and construction of the portion in Pennsylvania. Transource Energy has appealed the PA PUC ruling in Pennsylvania state court and challenged the ruling before the United States District Court for the Middle District of Pennsylvania, which is currently pending. The IEC currently remains in the PJM RTEP and as of June 30, 2021, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within SPP filed an application atshare of IEC capital expenditures is approximately $77 million. The FERC has previously granted abandonment benefits for this project, allowing the FERC to modifyfull recovery of prudently incurred costs if the SPP OATT formula transmission rate calculation, including an adjustment to recover a tax-related regulatory asset and a shift from historical to projected expenses. The modified SPP OATT formula rates are based on projected 2018 calendar year financial activity and projected plant balances.

If the FERC determines that any of thesethe IEC costs are not recoverable, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
FERC SWEPCo Power Supply Agreements Complaint - East Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. (ETEC) and Northeast Texas Electric Cooperative, Inc. (NTEC)
In September 2017, ETEC and NTEC filed a complaint at the FERC that states the base return on common equity used by SWEPCo in calculating their power supply formula rates is excessive and should be reduced from 11.1% to 8.41%, effective upon the date of the complaint. In November 2017, a FERC order set the matter for hearing and settlement procedures. Management believes its financial statements adequately address the impact of the complaint. If the FERC orders revenue reductions as a result of the complaint, including refunds from the date of the complaint filing, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.

Guarantees of Third-Party Obligations (Applies to AEP and SWEPCo)
As part of the process to receive a renewal of a Texas Railroad Commission permit for lignite mining, SWEPCo provides guarantees of mine reclamation of $140 million. Since SWEPCo uses self-bonding, the guarantee provides for SWEPCo to commit to use its resources to complete the reclamation in the event the work is not completed by Sabine. This guarantee ends upon depletion of reserves and completion of final reclamation. It is estimated the reserves will be depleted in 2036 with final reclamation completed by 2046 at an estimated cost of $77 million. Actual reclamation costs could vary due to period inflation and any changes to actual mine reclamation. As of March 31, 2018, SWEPCo has collected $72 million through a rider for final mine closure and reclamation costs, of which $77 million is recorded in Asset Retirement Obligations, offset by $5 million that is recorded in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on SWEPCo’s balance sheet.
Sabine charges SWEPCo, its only customer, all of its costs. SWEPCo passes these costs to customers through its fuel clause.
Guarantees of Equity Method Investees (Applies to AEP)

In June 2003, AEP Transportation LLC (AEP Transportation), a subsidiary of AEP, entered into a sale-and-leaseback transaction in 1989 with Wilmington Trust Company (Owner Trustee), an agreementunrelated, unconsolidated trustee for Rockport Plant, Unit 2 (the Plant). The Owner Trustee was capitalized with BTM Capital Corporation, as lessor,equity from six owner participants with no relationship to lease 875 coal-transporting aluminum railcars.AEP or any of its subsidiaries and debt from a syndicate of banks and securities in a private placement to certain institutional investors.
The Owner Trustee owns the Plant and leases equal portions to AEGCo and I&M. The lease is accounted for as an operating lease. In January 2008, AEP Transportation assigned the remaining 848 railcars under the original lease agreement to I&M (390 railcars) and SWEPCo (458 railcars). The assignments are accounted for as operating leases for I&M and SWEPCo. The initial lease term was fiveis for 33 years with three consecutive five-year renewal periods for a maximum lease term of twenty years. I&M and SWEPCo intend to renew these leases for the full lease term of twenty years via the renewal options. The future minimum lease obligations are $7 million and $8 million for I&M and SWEPCo, respectively, for the remaining railcars as of March 31, 2018.
Under the lease agreement, the lessor is guaranteed that the sale proceeds under a return-and-sale option will equal at least a lessee obligation amount specified in the lease, which declines from 83% of the projected fair value of the equipment under the current five year lease term to 77% at the end of the 20-year term.lease term, AEGCo and I&M and SWEPCo have assumed the guarantee underoption to renew the return-and-sale option.

AEPRO Boat and Barge Leases (Applies to AEP)
In October 2015, AEP signed a Purchase and Sale Agreement to sellsold its commercial barge transportation subsidiary, AEPRO, to a nonaffiliated party. The sale closed in November 2015. Certain of the boat and barge leases acquired by the nonaffiliated party are subject to an AEP guarantee in favor of the lessor,respective lessors, ensuring future payments under such leases with maturities up to 2027. As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, the maximum potential amount of future payments required under the guaranteed leases was $49$45 million. InUnder the terms of certain instances, AEP has no recourse againstof the arrangements, upon the lessors exercising their rights after an event of default by the nonaffiliated party, if requiredAEP is entitled to payenter into new lease arrangements as a lessee that would have substantially the same terms as the existing leases. Alternatively, for the arrangements with one of the lessors, upon an event of default by the nonaffiliated party and the lessor under a guarantee, butexercising its rights, payment to the lessor would allow AEP to step into the lessor’s rights as well as obtaining title to the assets. Under either situation, AEP would have accessthe ability to utilize the assets in the normal course of barging operations. AEP would also have the right to sell the leasedacquired assets in order to recover payments made by AEP under the guarantee.for which it obtained title. As of March 31, 2018,June 30, 2021, AEP’s boat and barge lease guarantee liability was $7$3 million, of which $2$1 million was recorded in Other Current Liabilities and $5$2 million was recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities on AEP’s balance sheet.sheets.

The party entered into a restructuring support agreement and sethas announced it expected to continue their outlook to negative.operations as normal. In March 2020, the bankruptcy court approved the party’s recapitalization plan. In April 2018, Moody’s Investors Service Inc. also downgraded their ratings and set their outlook to negative. It2020, the nonaffiliated party emerged from bankruptcy. Management has determined that it is reasonably possible that enforcement of AEP’s liability for future payments under these leases couldwill be exercised whichwithin the next twelve months. In such an event, if AEP is unable to sell or incorporate any of the acquired assets into its fleet operations, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCIES (Applies to all Registrants except AEPTCo)
The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and State Remediation
By-products from the generation of electricity include materials such as ash, slag, sludge, low-level radioactive waste and SNF. Coal combustion by-products, which constitute the overwhelming percentage of these materials, are typically treated and deposited in captive disposal facilities or are beneficially utilized. In addition, the generation plants and transmission and distribution facilities have used asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls and other hazardous and nonhazardousnon-hazardous materials. The Registrants currently incur costs to dispose of these substances safely. For remediation processes not specifically discussed, management does not anticipate that the liabilities, if any, arising from such remediation processes would have a material effect on the financial statements.
NUCLEAR CONTINGENCIES (Applies to AEP and I&M)
I&M owns and operates the two-unit 2,278 MW Cook Plant under licenses granted by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. I&M has a significant future financial commitment to dispose of SNF and to safely decommission and decontaminate the plant. The licenses to operate the two nuclear units at the Cook Plant expire in 2034 and 2037. The operation of a nuclear facility also involves special risks, potential liabilities and specific regulatory and safety requirements. By agreement, I&M is partially liable, together with all other electric utility companies that own nuclear generation units, for a nuclear power plant incident at any nuclear plant in the U.S. Should a nuclear incident occur at any nuclear power plant in the U.S., the resultant liability could be substantial.
Westinghouse Electric Company Bankruptcy Filing
In March 2017, Westinghouse filed a petition to reorganize under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Westinghouse and I&M have a number of significant ongoing contracts relating to reactor services, nuclear fuel fabrication and ongoing engineering projects. The most significant of these relate to Cook Plant fuel fabrication. As part of the reorganization, the bankruptcy court approved Westinghouse’s sale of its nuclear business to Brookfield WEC Holdings, a nonaffiliated third party. Pursuant to the sale, Brookfield will assume all of I&M’s contracts with Westinghouse. The sale is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the third quarter of 2018.
OPERATIONAL CONTINGENCIES
Rockport Plant Litigation (Applies to AEP and I&M)
In July 2013, the Wilmington Trust Company filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York against AEGCo and I&M alleging that it willwould be unlawfully burdened by the terms of the modified NSR consent decree after the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 lease expiration in December 2022. The terms of the consent decree allow the installation of environmental emission control equipment, repowering, refueling or retirement of the unit. The plaintiffs further allege that the defendants’ actions constitute breach of the lease and participation agreement. The plaintiffs seek a judgment declaring that the defendants breached the lease, must satisfy obligations related to installation of emission control equipment and indemnify the plaintiffs. The New York court granted a motion to transfer this case to the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. In October 2013, a motion to dismiss the case was filed on behalf of
AEGCo and I&M.
In January 2015,&M sought and were granted dismissal by the court issued an opinion and order grantingU.S. District Court for the motion in part and denying the motion in part. The court dismissedSouthern District of Ohio of certain of the plaintiffs’ claims, including the dismissal without prejudice of plaintiffs’ claims seeking compensatory damages. Several claims remained, including the claim for breach of the participation agreement and a claim alleging breach of an implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing. In June 2015, AEGCo and I&M filed a motion for partial judgment on the claims seeking dismissal of the breach of participation agreement claim as well as any claim for indemnification of costs associated with this case. The plaintiffs subsequently filed an amended complaint to add another claim under the lease and also filed a motion for partial summary judgment. In November 2015, AEGCo and I&M filed a motion to strike the plaintiffs’ motion for partial judgment and filed a motion to dismiss the case for failure to state a claim.
In March 2016, the court entered an opinion and order in favor of AEGCo and I&M, dismissing certain of the plaintiffs’ claims for compensatory damages, breach of contract, and dismissing claims for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing and further dismissing plaintiffs’ claim for indemnification of costs. ByPlaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the same order, the court permitted plaintiffs to move forward with their claimsurviving claims that AEGCo and I&M failed to exercise prudent utility practices in the maintenance and operation of Rockport Plant, Unit 2. In April 2016, the plaintiffs filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of all remaining claims with prejudice, and the court subsequently enteredissued a final judgment. In May 2016,The plaintiffs subsequently filed an appeal in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on whether AEGCo and I&M are in breach of certain contract provisions that plaintiffs allege operate to protect the plaintiffs’ residual interests in the unit and whether the trial court erred in dismissing plaintiffs’ claims that AEGCo and I&M breached the covenant of good faith and fair dealing.Circuit.
In April 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an opinion reversing the district court’s decisions which had dismissed certain of plaintiffs’ claims for breach of contract and remanding the case to the district court to enter summary judgment in plaintiffs’ favor consistent with that ruling. In April 2017, AEGCo and I&M filed a petition for rehearing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit, which was granted. In June 2017, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit issued an amended opinion and judgment which reverses the district court’s dismissal of certain of the owners’ claims under the lease agreements, vacates the denial of the owners’ motion for partial summary judgment and remands the case to the district court for further proceedings. The amended opinion and judgment also affirmsaffirming the district court’s dismissal of the owners’ breach of good faith and fair dealing claim as duplicative of the breach of contract claims, and removes the instruction toreversing the district court in the original opinion to enter summary judgment in favorcourt’s dismissal of the owners.breach of contract claims and remanding the case for further proceedings.
In July 2017,Thereafter, AEP filed a motion with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in the original NSR litigation, seeking to modify the consent decree to eliminate the obligation to install certain future controls at Rockport Plant, Unit 2 if AEP does not acquire ownership of that Unit, and to modify the consent decree in other respects to preserve the environmental benefits of the consent decree. In November 2017, theThe district court granted the owners’ unopposed motion to stay the lease litigation to afford time for resolution of AEP’s motion to modify the consent decree. The consent decree was modified based on an agreement among the parties in July 2019. The district court’s stay of the lease litigation expired in August 2020. Upon expiration of the stay, plaintiffs filed a motion for partial summary judgment, arguing that the consent decree violates the facility lease and the participation agreement and requesting that the district court enter a judgment for the plaintiffs on their breach of contract claim. AEP’s memorandum in opposition to plaintiffs’ motion for partial summary judgment was filed in October 2020. At the parties’ request, the district court stayed the case until April 19, 2021 to provide the parties an opportunity to resolve the case.
On April 20, 2021, I&M and AEGCo reached an agreement to acquire 100% of the interests in Rockport Plant, Unit 2 for $115.5 million from certain financial institutions that own the unit through trusts established by Wilmington Trust, the nonaffiliated owner trustee of the ownership interests in the unit, with closing to occur as of the end of the Rockport Plant, Unit 2 lease in December 2022. As a result, in May 2021, at the parties request, the district court entered a stipulation and order dismissing the case without prejudice to plaintiffs asserting their claims in a re-filed action or a new action. The agreement is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals, and as of the closing will result in a final settlement of, and release of claims in, the lease litigation. Management believes its financial statements appropriately reflect the expected resolution of the pending litigation.
Claims Challenging Transition of American Electric Power System Retirement Plan to Cash Balance Formula
The American Electric Power System Retirement Plan (the Plan) has received a letter written on behalf of four participants (the Claimants) making a claim for additional plan benefits and purporting to advance such claims on behalf of a class. When the Plan’s benefit formula was changed in the year 2000, AEP provided a special provision for employees hired before January 1, 2001, allowing them to continue benefit accruals under the then benefit formula for a full 10 years alongside of the new cash balance benefit formula then being implemented. Employees who were hired on or after January 1, 2001 accrued benefits only under the new cash balance benefit formula. The Claimants have asserted claims that: (a) the Plan violates the requirements under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) intended to preclude back-loading the accrual of benefits to the end of a participant’s career, (b) the Plan violates the age discrimination prohibitions of ERISA and the Age Discrimination in Employment Act and (c) the company failed to provide required notice regarding the changes to the Plan. AEP has responded to the Claimants providing a reasoned explanation for why each of their claims have been denied. The denial of those claims was appealed to the AEP System Retirement Plan Appeal Committee and the Committee upheld the denial of claims. Management will continue to defend against the claims. Given that the district court dismissed plaintiffs’ claims seeking compensatory relief as premature, and that plaintiffs have yet to present a methodology for determining or any analysis supporting any alleged damages, managementManagement is unable to determine a range of potential losses that areis reasonably possible of occurring.
Gavin Landfill Litigation (AppliesRelated to Ohio House Bill 6 (HB 6)
In 2019, Ohio adopted and implemented HB 6 which benefits OPCo by authorizing rate recovery for certain costs including renewable energy contracts and OVEC’s coal-fired generating units. OPCo engaged in lobbying efforts and provided testimony during the legislative process in connection with HB 6. In July 2020, an investigation led by the U.S. Attorney’s Office resulted in a federal grand jury indictment of an Ohio legislator and associates in connection with an alleged racketeering conspiracy involving the adoption of HB 6. After AEP learned of the criminal allegations against the Ohio legislator and OPCo)others relating to HB 6, the Company, with assistance from outside advisors, conducted a review of the circumstances surrounding the passage of the bill. We do not believe that AEP was involved in any wrongful conduct in connection with the passage of HB 6.

The lawsuit was filed on behalf of 77 plaintiffs, consisting of 39 current and former contractors of the landfill and 38 family members of those contractors. Twelve of the family members pursued personal injury/illness claims (non-working direct claims) and the remainder pursued loss of consortium claims. The plaintiffs sought compensatory and punitive damages, as well as medical monitoring. In September 2014, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the complaint, contendingsecurities litigation for failure to state a claim, and under the case shouldCourt’s briefing schedule the motion will be fully briefed by July 26, 2021. The company will continue to defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.
In January 2021, an AEP shareholder filed a derivative action in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Ohio purporting to assert claims on behalf of AEP against certain AEP officers and directors. In February 2021, a second AEP shareholder filed a similar derivative action in the Court of Common Pleas of Franklin County, Ohio. In August 2015,April 2021, a third AEP shareholder filed a similar derivative action in the court deniedU.S. District Court for the motion. Defendants appealed that decisionSouthern District of Ohio and a fourth AEP shareholder filed a similar derivative action in the Supreme Court for the State of New York, Nassau County. These derivative complaints allege the officers and directors made misrepresentations and omissions similar to those alleged in the West Virginia Supreme Court. In February 2016, a decision was issued byputative securities class action lawsuit filed against AEP. The derivative complaints together assert claims for: (a) breach of fiduciary duty, (b) waste of corporate assets, (c) unjust enrichment, (d) breach of duty for insider trading and (e) contribution for violations of sections 10(b) and 21D of the court denyingSecurities Exchange Act of 1934; and seek monetary damages and changes to AEP’s corporate governance and internal policies among other forms of relief. The first three derivative actions have been stayed pending the appeal and remandingresolution of the case to the West Virginia Mass Litigation Panel (WVMLP), rather than back to the Mason County, West Virginia Circuit Court. Defendants subsequently filed a motion to dismiss the twelve non-working directsecurities litigation. The fourth has been stayed until such time as the court determines to lift the stay. The company will continue to defend against the claims. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.
On March 1, 2021, AEP received a litigation demand letter from counsel representing a purported AEP shareholder. The litigation demand letter is directed to the Board of Directors of AEP and contains factual allegations involving HB 6 that are generally consistent with those in the derivative litigation filed in state and federal court. The letter
demands, among other things, that the AEP Board undertake an independent investigation into alleged legal violations by directors and officers, and that, following such investigation, the Company commence a civil action for breaches of fiduciary duty and related claims under Ohio law.and take appropriate disciplinary action against those individuals who allegedly harmed the company. The WVMLP deniedshareholder that sent the letter has agreed that AEP and the AEP Board may defer consideration of the litigation demand until the resolution of the motion and defendants again appealedto dismiss the securities litigation. The AEP Board will act in response to the West Virginia Supreme Court. letter as appropriate. Management is unable to determine a range of potential losses that is reasonably possible of occurring.

In 2020, PSO and SWEPCo received regulatory approvals to acquire the North Central Wind Energy Facilities (NCWF), comprised of three Oklahoma wind facilities totaling 1,485 MWs, on a fixed cost turn-key basis at completion. PSO and SWEPCo will own undivided interests of 45.5% and 54.5% of the NCWF, respectively. In total, the three wind facilities will cost approximately $2 billion and consist of Traverse (999 MW), Maverick (287 MW) and Sundance (199 MW). Output from the NCWF will serve retail load in PSO’s Oklahoma service territory and both retail and FERC wholesale load in SWEPCo’s service territories in Arkansas and Louisiana. The Oklahoma and Louisiana portions of the NCWF revenue requirement, net of PTC benefit, are recoverable through authorized riders beginning at commercial operation and until such time as amounts are reflected in base rates. The mechanism to recover the Arkansas portion of the NCWF revenue requirement will be addressed in a future regulatory proceeding. The NCWF are subject to various regulatory performance requirements. If these performance requirements are not met, PSO and SWEPCo would recognize a regulatory liability to refund retail customers.
In April 2021, PSO and SWEPCo acquired respective undivided ownership interests in the entity that owned Sundance during its development and construction for $270 million, the first quarter of 2018,the three NCWF acquisitions. Immediately following the acquisition, PSO and SWEPCo liquidated the entity and simultaneously distributed the Sundance assets in proportion to their undivided ownership interests. Sundance was placed in-service in April 2021. The total investment in Sundance is estimated to be $291 million inclusive of previously capitalized pre-construction costs.
In accordance with the guidance for “Business Combinations,” management determined that the acquisition of Sundance represents an asset acquisition. The initial consolidation of Sundance and subsequent distribution of its assets resulted in the recognition and initial measurement of acquisition costs of $123 million and $147 million in
Property, Plant and Equipment on the balance sheets of PSO and SWEPCo, respectively. On an ongoing basis, management further determined that PSO and SWEPCo should apply the joint plant accounting model to account for their respective undivided interests in the assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of Sundance.
The Purchase and Sale Agreement (PSA) includes collective interests in numerous land contracts, as originally executed between the nonaffiliated party and the respective owners of the properties as defined in the contracts. These contracts provide for easement and access rights to the land that Sundance was built upon. These interests as lessee in each of the land contracts were transferred to Sundance (and subsequently to PSO and SWEPCo) as a part of the closing of the PSA. As of June 30, 2021, the Noncurrent Obligations Under Operating Leases are $13 million and $15 million on the balance sheets for PSO and SWEPCo, respectively.

Registrant Subsidiaries’ Reportable Segments (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries except AEPTCo)
The Registrant Subsidiaries each have one reportable segment, an integrated electricity generation, transmission and distribution business for APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo, and an integrated electricity transmission and distribution business for AEP Texas and OPCo. Other activities are insignificant. The Registrant Subsidiaries’ operations are managed on an integrated basis because of the substantial impact of cost-based rates and regulatory oversight on the business process, cost structures and operating results.
AEPTCo’s Reportable Segments
AEPTCo Parent is the holding company of seven FERC-regulated transmission-only electric utilities (State Transcos).utilities. The seven State Transcos have been identified as operating segments of AEPTCo under the accounting guidance for “Segment Reporting.” The State Transcos business consists of developing, constructing and operating transmission facilities at the request of the RTOs in which they operate and in replacing and upgrading facilities, assets and components of the existing AEP transmission system as needed to maintain reliability standards and provide service to AEP’s wholesale and retail customers. The State Transcos are regulated for rate-making purposes exclusively by the FERC and earn revenues through tariff rates charged for the use of their electric transmission systems.
AEPTCo’s Chief Operating Decision Maker makes operating decisions, allocates resources to and assesses performance based on these operating segments. The seven State Transcos operating segments all have similar economic characteristics and meet all of the criteria under the accounting guidance for “Segment Reporting” to be aggregated into one operating segment. As a result, AEPTCo has one reportable segment. The remainder of AEPTCo’s activity is presented in AEPTCo Parent. While not considered a reportable segment, AEPTCo Parent represents the activity of the holding company which primarily relates to debt financing activity and general corporate activities.
The tables below present AEPTCo’s reportable segment income statement information for the three and six months ended March 31, 2018June 30, 2021 and 20172020 and reportable segment balance sheet information as of March 31, 2018June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2017.2020.

9. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING
The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise. For the periods presented, AEPTCo did not have any Derivativederivative and Hedginghedging activity.
OBJECTIVES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
AEPSC is agent for and transacts on behalf of AEP subsidiaries, including the Registrant Subsidiaries. AEPEP is agent for and transacts on behalf of other AEP subsidiaries.
The Registrants are exposed to certain market risks as major power producers and participants in the electricity, capacity, natural gas, coal and emission allowance markets. These risks include commodity price risks which may be subject to capacity risk, interest rate risk credit risk and foreign currency exchangecredit risk. These risks represent the risk of loss that may impact the Registrants due to changes in the underlying market prices or rates. Management utilizes derivative instruments to manage these risks.
STRATEGIES FOR UTILIZATION OF DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS TO ACHIEVE OBJECTIVES
Risk Management Strategies
The strategy surrounding the use of derivative instruments primarily focuses on managing risk exposures, future cash flows and creating value utilizing both economic and formal hedging strategies. The risk management strategies also include the use of derivative instruments for trading purposes which focus on seizing market opportunities to create value driven by expected changes in the market prices of the commodities. To accomplish these objectives, the Registrants primarily employ risk management contracts including physical and financial forward purchase-and-sale contracts and, to a lesser extent, OTC swaps and options. Not all risk management contracts meet the definition of a derivative under the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative risk management contracts elected normal under the normal purchases and normal sales scope exception are not subject to the requirements of this accounting guidance.
The Registrants utilize power, capacity, coal, natural gas, interest rate and, to a lesser extent, heating oil, gasoline and other commodity contracts to manage the risk associated with the energy business. The Registrants utilize interest rate derivative contracts in order to manage the interest rate exposure associated with the commodity portfolio. For disclosure purposes, such risks are grouped as “Commodity,” as these risks are related to energy risk management activities. The Registrants also utilize derivative contracts to manage interest rate risk associated with debt financing. For disclosure purposes, these risks are grouped as “Interest Rate.” The amount of risk taken is determined by the Commercial Operations, Energy Supply and Finance groups in accordance with established risk management policies as approved by the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors.
The following tables represent the gross notional volume of the Registrants’ outstanding derivative contracts:

Fair Value Hedging Strategies (Applies to AEP)
Parent enters into interest rate derivative transactions as part of an overall strategy to manage the mix of fixed-rate and floating-rate debt. Certain interest rate derivative transactions effectively modify exposure to interest rate risk by converting a portion of fixed-rate debt to a floating rate.floating-rate. Provided specific criteria are met, these interest rate derivatives may be designated as fair value hedges.
Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
The Registrants utilize cash flow hedges on certain derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of power (“Commodity”) in order to manage the variable price risk related to forecasted purchases and sales. Management monitors the potential impacts of commodity price changes and, where appropriate, enters into derivative transactions to protect profit margins for a portion of future electricity sales and purchases. The Registrants do not hedge all commodity price risk.
The Registrants utilize a variety of interest rate derivative transactions in order to manage interest rate risk exposure. The Registrants also utilize interest rate derivative contracts to manage interest rate exposure related to future borrowings of fixed-rate debt. The Registrants do not hedge all interest rate exposure.
At times, the Registrants are exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks primarily when some fixed assets are purchased from foreign suppliers. In accordance with AEP’s risk management policy, the Registrants may utilize foreign currency derivative transactions to protect against the risk of increased cash outflows resulting from a foreign currency’s appreciation against the dollar. The Registrants do not hedge all foreign currency exposure.
ACCOUNTING FOR DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND THE IMPACT ON THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging” requires recognition of all qualifying derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities on the balance sheets at fair value. The fair values of derivative instruments accounted for using MTM accounting or hedge accounting are based on exchange prices and broker quotes. If a quoted market price is not available, the estimate of fair value is based on the best information available including valuation models that estimate future energy prices based on existing market and broker quotes supply and demand market data andother assumptions. In order to determine the relevant fair values of the derivative instruments, the Registrants apply valuation adjustments for discounting, liquidity and credit quality.
Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will fail to perform on the contract or fail to pay amounts due. Liquidity risk represents the risk that imperfections in the market will cause the price to vary from estimated fair value based upon prevailing market supply and demand conditions. Since energy markets are imperfect and volatile, there are inherent risks related to the underlying assumptions in models used to fair value risk management contracts. Unforeseen events may cause reasonable price curves to differ from actual price curves throughout a contract’s term and at the time a contract settles. Consequently, there could be significant adverse or favorable effects on future net income and cash flows if market prices are not consistent with management’s estimates of current market consensus for forward prices in the current period. This is particularly true for longer term contracts. Cash flows may vary based on market conditions, margin requirements and the timing of settlement of risk management contracts.
According to the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging,” the Registrants reflect the fair values of derivative instruments subject to netting agreements with the same counterparty net of related cash collateral. For certain risk management contracts, the Registrants are required to post or receive cash collateral based on third partythird-party contractual agreements and risk profiles. AEPThe Registrants netted cash collateral received from third parties against short-term and long-term risk management assets in the amounts of $1 million and $9.4 million as of March 31, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. AEP netted cash collateral paid to third parties against short-term and long-term risk management liabilities in the amounts of $18 millionas follows:

(a) | Represents realized and unrealized gains and losses subject to regulatory accounting treatment recorded as either current or noncurrent on the balance sheets. |
Certain qualifying derivative instruments have been designated as normal purchase or normal sale contracts, as provided in the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging.” Derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales under that accounting guidance are not subject to MTM accounting treatment and are recognized on the statements of income on an accrual basis.
The accounting for the changes in the fair value of a derivative instrument depends on whether it qualifies for and has been designated as part of a hedging relationship and further, on the type of hedging relationship. Depending on the exposure, management designates a hedging instrument as a fair value hedge or a cash flow hedge.
For contracts that have not been designated as part of a hedging relationship, the accounting for changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative instrument is held for trading purposes. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments held for trading purposes are included in revenues on a net basis on the statements of income. Unrealized and realized gains and losses on derivative instruments not held for trading purposes are included in revenues or expenses on the statements of income depending on the relevant facts and circumstances. Certain derivatives that economically hedge future commodity risk are recorded in the same expense line item on the statements of income as that of the associated risk. However, unrealized and some realized gains and losses in regulated jurisdictions for both trading and non-trading derivative instruments are recorded as regulatory assets (for losses) or regulatory liabilities (for gains) in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Regulated Operations.”
Accounting for Fair Value Hedging Strategies (Applies to AEP)
For fair value hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or an identified portion thereof attributable to a particular risk), the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item associated with the hedged risk impacts Net Incomenet income during the period of change.
AEP records realized and unrealized gains or losses on interest rate swaps that are designated and qualify for fair value hedge accounting treatment and any offsetting changes in the fair value of the debt being hedged in Interest Expense on the statements of income.
The following table shows the resultsimpacts recognized on the balance sheets related to the hedged items in fair value hedging relationships:

In June 2020, AEP terminated a $500 million notional amount interest rate swap resulting in the discontinuance of the hedging gains (losses):relationship. A gain of $57 million on the fair value of the hedging instrument was settled in cash and recorded within operating activities on the statements of cash flows. Subsequent to the discontinuation of hedge accounting, the remaining adjustment to the carrying amount of the hedged item of $57 million will be amortized on a straight line basis through November 2027 in Interest Expense on the statements of income.

Accounting for Cash Flow Hedging Strategies
For cash flow hedges (i.e. hedging the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows that is attributable to a particular risk), the Registrants initially report the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative instrument as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets until the period the hedged item affects Net Income. The Registrants recognize any hedge ineffectiveness in Net Income immediately during the period of change, except in regulated jurisdictions where hedge ineffectiveness would be recorded as a regulatory asset (for losses) or a regulatory liability (for gains) if applicable.net income.
Realized gains and losses on derivative contracts for the purchase and sale of power designated as cash flow hedges are included in Total Revenues or Purchased Electricity for Resale on the statements of income or in Regulatory Assets or Regulatory Liabilities on the balance sheets, depending on the specific nature of the risk being hedged. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018June 30, 2021 and 2017,2020, AEP applied cash flow hedging to outstanding power derivatives. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018June 30, 2021 and 2017,2020, the Registrant Subsidiaries did not apply cash flow hedging to outstanding power derivatives.
The Registrants reclassify gains and losses on interest rate derivative hedges related to debt financings from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets into Interest Expense on the statements of income in those periods in which hedged interest payments occur. During the three and six months ended March 31, 2018June 30, 2021 and 2017, the Registrants did not apply2020, AEP and APCo applied cash flow hedging to outstanding interest rate derivatives.derivatives and the other Registrant Subsidiaries did not.
The accumulated gains or losses related to foreign currency hedges are reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets into Depreciation and Amortization expense on the statements of income over the depreciable lives of the fixed assets designated as the hedged items in qualifying foreign currency hedging relationships. During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, the Registrants did not apply cash flow hedging to any outstanding foreign currency derivatives.
During the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017, hedge ineffectiveness was immaterial or nonexistent for all of the hedge strategies disclosed above.
For details on effective cash flow hedges included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) on the balance sheets and the reasons for changes in cash flow hedges, see Note 3 - Comprehensive Income.

Credit Risk
Management mitigates credit risk in wholesale marketing and trading activities by assessing the creditworthiness of potential counterparties before entering into transactions with them and continuing to evaluate their creditworthiness on an ongoing basis. Management uses Moody’s Investors Service Inc., S&P Global Inc.credit agency ratings and current market-based qualitative and quantitative data as well as financial statements to assess the financial health of counterparties on an ongoing basis.
Master agreements are typically used to facilitate the netting of cash flows associated with a single counterparty and may include collateral requirements. Collateral requirements in the form of cash, letters of credit and parental/affiliate guarantees may be obtained as security from counterparties in order to mitigate credit risk. Some master agreements include margining, which requires a counterparty to post cash or letters of credit in the event exposure exceeds the established threshold. A counterparty is required to post cash or letters of credit in the event exposure exceeds the established threshold. The threshold represents an unsecured credit limit which may be supported by a parental/affiliate guaranty, as determined in accordance with AEP’s credit policy. In addition, master agreements allow for termination
and liquidation of all positions in the event of a default including a failure or inability to post collateral when required.
Collateral Triggering Events
Credit Downgrade Triggers (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M, PSO and SWEPCo)
A limited number of derivative contracts include collateral triggering events, which include a requirement to maintain certain credit ratings. On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these collateral triggering events in contracts. The Registrants have not experienced a downgrade below a specified credit rating threshold that would require the posting of additional collateral. The RegistrantsAEP had immaterialsix derivative contracts with collateral triggering events in a net liability position as of March 31, 2018 andJune 30, 2021, with a total exposure of $8 million. The Registrant Subsidiaries had no derivative contracts with collateral triggering events in a net liability position as of June 30, 2021. The Registrants had no derivative contracts with collateral triggering events in a net liability position as of December 31, 2017, respectively.2020.
Cross-Default Triggers (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M and SWEPCo)
In addition, a majority of non-exchange traded commodity contracts contain cross-default provisions that, if triggered, would permit the counterparty to declare a default and require settlement of the outstanding payable. These cross-default provisions could be triggered if there was a non-performance event by Parent or the obligor under outstanding debt or a third partythird-party obligation that is $50 million or greater. On an ongoing basis, AEP’s risk management organization assesses the appropriateness of these cross-default provisions in the contracts. The following table represents:tables represent: (a) the fair value of these derivative liabilities subject to cross-default provisions prior to consideration of contractual netting arrangements, (b) the amount that the exposure has been reduced by cash collateral posted and (c) if a cross-default provision would have been triggered, the settlement amount that would be required after considering contractual netting arrangements:

Warrants Held in Investee (Applies to AEP)
AmountsAEP holds an investment in ChargePoint, which completed an initial public offering (IPO) in February 2021 via a reverse merger with a public special purpose acquisition company. Before the IPO, AEP’s interests in ChargePoint consisted of a noncontrolling equity interest of preferred shares, which were accounted for APCo, I&M and SWEPCo are immaterialat their historical cost of $8 million as of MarchDecember 31, 20182020, and common share warrants. After the IPO, AEP’s interests in ChargePoint consisted of a noncontrolling equity interest of common shares, which were accounted for at their fair value of $46 million as of June 30, 2021, and common share warrants. AEP recorded an unrealized gain of $11 million and $38 million associated with the common shares for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, presented in Other Income (Expense) on AEP’s statements of income.
Management has determined the common share warrants are derivative instruments based on the accounting guidance for “Derivatives and Hedging”. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2017, respectively.2020, the warrants were valued at $26 million and $32 million, respectively, and were recorded in Deferred Charges and Other Noncurrent Assets on AEP’s balance sheets. AEP recognized an unrealized gain (loss) of $4 million and $(6) million associated with the warrants for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively, presented in Other Income (Expense) on AEP’s statements of income.
Management utilized a Black-Scholes options pricing model to value the warrants as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. The valuation contemplated a liquidity adjustment that resulted in the overall fair value of the warrants being categorized as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy as of December 31, 2020. After the IPO, there was an observable publicly traded stock price to use in the Black-Scholes options pricing model, which resulted in the warrants being categorized as Level 2 as of June 30, 2021. The common shares are also categorized as Level 2 as management applied a discount to the shares due to a six month lock-up agreement post IPO. After the six month lock-up period, the common shares will be valued as Level 1 based on the publicly traded share prices. See “Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Liabilities” section of Note 10 for additional information.
10. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants except AEPTCo unless indicated otherwise.
Fair Value Hierarchy and Valuation Techniques
The accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurement) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurement). Where observable inputs are available for substantially the full term of the asset or liability, the instrument is categorized in Level 2. When quoted market prices are not available, pricing may be completed using comparable securities, dealer values, operating data and general market conditions to determine fair value. Valuation models utilize various inputs such as commodity, interest rate and, to a lesser degree, volatility and credit that include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in inactive markets, market corroborated inputs (i.e. inputs derived principally from, or correlated to, observable market data) and other observable inputs for the asset or liability.
For commercial activities, exchange tradedexchange-traded derivatives, namely futures contracts, are generally fair valued based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets and are classified as Level 1. Level 2 inputs primarily consist of OTC broker quotes in moderately active or less active markets, as well as exchange traded contractsexchange-traded derivatives where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1. Management verifies price curves using these broker quotes and classifies these fair values within Level 2 when substantially all of the fair value can be corroborated. Management typically obtains multiple broker quotes, which are nonbinding in nature but are based on recent trades in the marketplace. When multiple broker quotes are obtained, the quoted bid and ask prices are averaged. In certain circumstances, a broker quote may be discarded if it is a clear outlier. Management uses a historical correlation analysis between the broker quoted location and the illiquid locations. If the points are highly correlated, these locations are included within Level 2 as well. Certain OTC and bilaterally executed derivative instruments are executed in less active markets with a lower availability of pricing information. Illiquid transactions, complex structured transactions, FTRs and counterparty credit risk may require nonmarket basednonmarket-based inputs. Some of these inputs may be internally developed or extrapolated and utilized to estimate fair value. When such inputs have a significant impact on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized as Level 3. The main driver of contracts being classified as Level 3 is the inability to substantiate energy price curves in the market. A portion of the Level 3 instruments have been economically hedged which limits potential earnings volatility.
AEP utilizes its trustee’s external pricing service to estimate the fair value of the underlying investments held in the benefit plan and nuclear trusts. AEP’s investment managers review and validate the prices utilized by the trustee to determine fair value. AEP’s management performs its own valuation testing to verify the fair values of the securities. AEP receives audit reports of the trustee’s operating controls and valuation processes. The trustee uses multiple pricing vendors for the assets held in the trusts.
Assets in the nuclear trusts, cash and cash equivalents, other temporary investments and restricted cash for securitized funding are classified using the following methods. Equities are classified as Level 1 holdings if they are actively traded on exchanges. Items classified as Level 1 are investments in money market funds, fixed income and equity mutual funds and domestic equity securities. They are valued based on observable inputs, primarily unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets. Items classified as Level 2 are primarily investments in individual fixed income securities. Fixed income securities generally do not trade on exchanges and do not have an official closing price but their valuation inputs are based on observable market data. Pricing vendors calculate bond valuations using financial models and matrices. The models use observable inputs including yields on benchmark securities, quotes by securities brokers, rating agency actions, discounts or premiums on securities compared to par prices, changes in yields for U.S. Treasury securities, corporate actions by bond issuers, prepayment schedules and histories, economic events and, for certain securities, adjustments to yields to reflect changes in the rate of inflation. Other securities with model-derived valuation inputs that are observable are also classified as Level 2 investments. Investments with unobservable valuation inputs are classified as Level 3 investments.
Fair Value Measurements of Long-term Debt (Applies to all Registrants)
The fair values of Long-term Debt are based on quoted market prices, without credit enhancements, for the same or similar issues and the current interest rates offered for instruments with similar maturities classified as Level 2 measurement inputs. These instruments are not marked-to-market. The estimates presented are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange. The fair value of AEP’s Equity Units (Level 1) are valued based on publicly traded securities issued by AEP.
The book values and fair values of Long-term Debt are summarized in the following table:

Fair Value Measurements of Trust Assets for Decommissioning and SNF Disposal (Applies to AEP and I&M)
Nuclear decommissioning and spent nuclear fuelSNF trust funds represent funds that regulatory commissions allow I&M to collect through rates to fund future decommissioning and spent nuclear fuelSNF disposal liabilities. By rules or orders, the IURC, the MPSC and the FERC established investment limitations and general risk management guidelines. In general, limitations include:
•Acceptable investments (rated investment grade or above when purchased).
•Maximum percentage invested in a specific type of investment.
•Prohibition of investment in obligations of AEP, I&M or their affiliates.
•Withdrawals permitted only for payment of decommissioning costs and trust expenses.
I&M maintains trust funds for each regulatory jurisdiction. Regulatory approval is required to withdraw decommissioning funds. These funds are managed by an external investment managers whomanager that must comply with the guidelines and rules of the applicable regulatory authorities. The trust assets are invested to optimize the net of tax earnings of the trust giving consideration to liquidity, risk, diversification and other prudent investment objectives.
I&M records securities held in these trust funds in Spent Nuclear Fuel and Decommissioning Trusts on its balance sheets. I&M records these securities at fair value. I&M classifies debt securities in the trust funds as available-for-sale due to their long-term purpose. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-01 in first quarter 2018, equity securities are now recorded with changes in fair value recognized in earnings. Effective January 2018 available for sale classification only applies to investment in debt securities.
Other-than-temporary impairments for investments in debt securities are considered realized losses as a result of securities being managed by an external investment management firm. The external investment management firm makes specific investment decisions regarding the debt and equity investments held in these trusts and generally intends to sell debt securities in an unrealized loss position as part of a tax optimization strategy. Impairments reduce the cost basis of the securities which will affect any future unrealized gain or realized gain or loss due to the adjusted cost of investment. I&M records unrealized gains, unrealized losses and other-than-temporary impairments from securities in these trust funds as adjustments to the regulatory liability account for the nuclear decommissioning trust funds and to regulatory assets or liabilities for the SNF disposal trust funds in accordance with their treatment in rates. Consequently, changes in fair value of trust assets do not affect earnings or AOCI.

Fair Value Measurements of Financial Assets and Liabilities
The following tables set forth, by level within the fair value hierarchy, the Registrants’ financial assets and liabilities that were accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis. As required by the accounting guidance for “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” financial assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Management’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement requires judgment and may affect the valuation of fair value assets and liabilities and their placement within the fair value hierarchy levels. There have not been any significant changes in management’s valuation techniques.

The disclosures in this note apply to all Registrants unless indicated otherwise.
Federal Tax Reform
In December 2017, legislation referred to as Tax Reform was signed into law. Tax Reform includes significant changes to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code) and had a material impact on the Registrants’ financial statements in the reporting period of its enactment. Tax Reform lowered the corporate federal income tax rate from 35% to 21%. Tax Reform provisions related to regulated public utilities generally allow for the continued deductibility of interest expense, eliminate bonus depreciation for certain property acquired after September 27, 2017 and continue certain rate normalization requirements for accelerated depreciation benefits.
Provisional Amounts
The Registrants applied Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118), issued by the SEC staff in December 2017, and made reasonable estimates for the measurement and accounting of the effects of Tax Reform which are reflected in the financial statements as provisional amounts based on the best information available. SAB 118 provides for up to a one year period to complete the required analysis and accounting for Tax Reform referred to as the measurement period. While the Registrants were able to make reasonable estimates of the impact of Tax Reform in 2017, the final impact may differ from the recorded provisional amounts to the extent refinements are made to the estimated cumulative differences or as a result of additional guidance or technical corrections that may be issued by the IRS that may impact management’s interpretation and assumptions utilized. The measurement period adjustments recorded during the first quarter of 2018 to the provisional amounts were immaterial. The Registrants expect to complete the analysis of the provisional items during the second half of 2018.
Reduction in the Corporate Federal Income Tax Rate - Pending Rate Reductions
State utility commissions have issued orders or instructions requiring public utilities, including the Registrants, to record liabilities to reflect the impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate in excess of the enacted corporate federal income tax rate of 21% beginning in 2018. The following table provides a summary of the estimated provisions for revenue refund recorded by the Registrants related to the reduction in the corporate federal tax rate as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2018:

Excess Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes - Pending Rate Reductions
As of March 31, 2018, the Registrants have approximately $4.4 billion of Excess ADIT, as well as an incremental liability of $1.2 billion to reflect the $4.4 billion Excess ADIT on a pre-tax basis, presented in Regulatory Liabilities and Deferred Investment Tax Credits on the balance sheets. The Excess ADIT is reflected on a pretax basis to appropriately contemplate future tax consequences in the periods when the regulatory liability is settled. As of March 31, 2018, approximately $3.4 billion of the Excess ADIT relates to temporary differences associated with depreciable property subject to rate normalization requirements.
As reflected in the Registrants’ respective estimated annual ETR for 2018, AEP’s regulated public utilities began amortizing the excess accumulated deferred income taxes (Excess ADIT) associated with certain depreciable property subject to rate normalization requirements using the ARAM during the first quarter of 2018. The amortization resulted in a reduction in the Excess ADIT balance recorded in Regulatory Liabilities and Deferred Investment Tax Credits and a reduction in Income Tax Expense. As a result of state utility commission orders or instructions, in the first quarter
of 2018 the Registrants recorded estimated provisions for revenue refund offsetting the amortization of the Excess ADIT as shown in the table below:

|
In addition, with respect to the remaining $1 billion of Excess ADIT recorded in Regulatory Liabilities and Deferred Investment Tax Credits that are not subject to rate normalization requirements, the Registrants continue to work with the various state utility commissions to determine the appropriate mechanism and time period to provide these benefits of Tax Reform to customers. The corresponding reduction in Income Tax Expense will be reported in the interim period in which these benefits of Tax Reform are provided to customers.
Effective Tax Rates (ETR)
The Registrants’ interim ETR reflect the estimated annual ETR for 20182021 and 2017,2020, adjusted for tax expense associated with certain discrete items. As previously mentioned, effective January 1, 2018, Tax Reform lowered the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.
The interim ETR differ from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% and 35% in 2018 and 2017, respectively, primarily due to state income taxes,Registrants include the amortization of Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements in the excess accumulated deferredannual estimated ETR when regulatory proceedings instruct the Registrants to provide the benefits of Tax Reform to customers over multiple interim periods. Certain regulatory proceedings instruct the Registrants to provide the benefits of Tax Reform to customers in a single period (e.g. by applying the Excess ADIT not subject to normalization requirements against an existing regulatory asset balance) and in these circumstances, the Registrants recognize the tax benefit discretely in the period recorded. The annual amount of Excess ADIT approved by the Registrant’s regulatory commissions may not impact the ETR ratably during each interim period due to the variability of pretax book income taxes associated with certain depreciable property usingbetween interim periods and the ARAM, tax credits and other book/tax differences which are accounted for on a flow-through basis.application of an annual estimated ETR.
The ETR for each of the Registrants are included in the following table. Significant variances in the ETR are described below.tables:

Equity Units (Applies to AEP)
2020 Equity Units
In August 2020, AEP issued 17 million Equity Units initially in the form of corporate units, at a stated amount of $50 per unit, for a total stated amount of $850 million. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $833 million. The proceeds were used to support AEP’s overall capital expenditure plans.
Each corporate unit represents a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of AEP’s 1.30% Junior Subordinated Notes (notes) due in 2025 and a forward equity purchase contract which settles after three years in 2023. The notes are expected to be remarketed in 2023, at which time the interest rate will reset at the then current market rate. Investors may choose to remarket their notes to receive the remarketing proceeds and use those funds to settle the forward equity purchase contract, or accept the remarketed debt and use other funds for the equity purchase. If the remarketing is unsuccessful, investors have the right to put their notes to AEP at a price equal to the principal. The Equity Units carry an annual distribution rate of 6.125%, which is comprised of a quarterly coupon rate of interest of 1.30% and a quarterly forward equity purchase contract payment of 4.825%.
Each forward equity purchase contract obligates the holder to purchase, and AEP to sell, for $50 a number of shares in common stock in accordance with the conversion ratios set forth below (subject to an anti-dilution adjustment):
•If the AEP common stock market price is equal to or greater than $99.95: 0.5003 shares per contract.
•If the AEP common stock market price is less than $99.95 but greater than $83.29: a number of shares per contract equal to $50 divided by the applicable market price. The holder receives a variable number of shares at $50.
•If the AEP common stock market price is less than or equal to $83.29: 0.6003 shares per contract.
A holder’s ownership interest in the notes is pledged to AEP to secure the holder’s obligation under the related forward equity purchase contract. If a holder of the forward equity purchase contract chooses at any time to no longer be a holder of the notes, such holder’s obligation under the forward equity purchase contract must be secured by a U.S. Treasury security which must be equal to the aggregate principal amount of the notes.
At the time of issuance, the $850 million of notes were recorded within Long-term Debt on the balance sheets. The present value of the purchase contract payments of $121 million were recorded in Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilitieswith a current portion in Other Current Liabilities at the time of issuance, representing the obligation to make forward equity contract payments, with an offsetting reduction to Paid-in Capital. The difference between the face value and present value of the purchase contract payments will be accreted to Interest Expense on the statements of income over the three year period ending in 2023. The liability recorded for the contract payments is considered non-cash and excluded from the statements of cash flows. Until settlement of the forward equity purchase contract, earnings per share dilution resulting from the equity unit issuance will be determined under the treasury stock method. The maximum amount of shares AEP will be required to issue to settle the purchase contract is 10,205,100 shares (subject to an anti-dilution adjustment).
2019 Equity Units
In March 2019, AEP issued 16.1 million Equity Units initially in the form of corporate units, at a stated amount of $50 per unit, for a total stated amount of $805 million. Net proceeds from the issuance were approximately $785 million. The proceeds were used to support AEP’s overall capital expenditure plans including the acquisition of Sempra Renewables LLC.
Each corporate unit represents a 1/20 undivided beneficial ownership interest in $1,000 principal amount of AEP’s 3.40% Junior Subordinated Notes (notes) due in 2024 and a forward equity purchase contract which settles after three years in 2022. The notes are expected to be remarketed in 2022, at which time the interest rate will reset at the then current market rate. Investors may choose to remarket their notes to receive the remarketing proceeds and use those funds to settle the forward equity purchase contract, or accept the remarketed debt and use other funds for the equity purchase. If the remarketing is unsuccessful, investors have the right to put their notes to AEP at a price equal to the principal. The Equity Units carry an annual distribution rate of 6.125%, which is comprised of a quarterly coupon rate of interest of 3.40% and a quarterly forward equity purchase contract payment of 2.725%.
Each forward equity purchase contract obligates the holder to purchase, and AEP to sell, for $50 a number of shares in common stock in accordance with the conversion ratios set forth below (subject to an anti-dilution adjustment):
•If the AEP common stock market price is equal to or greater than $99.58: 0.5021 shares per contract.
•If the AEP common stock market price is less than $99.58 but greater than $82.98: a number of shares per contract equal to $50 divided by the applicable market price. The holder receives a variable number of shares at $50.
•If the AEP common stock market price is less than or equal to $82.98: 0.6026 shares per contract.
A holder’s ownership interest in the notes is pledged to AEP to secure the holder’s obligation under the related forward equity purchase contract. If a holder of the forward equity purchase contract chooses at any time to no longer be a holder of the notes, such holder’s obligation under the forward equity purchase contract must be secured by a U.S. Treasury security which must be equal to the aggregate principal amount of the notes.
At the time of issuance, the $805 million of notes were recorded within Long-term Debt on the balance sheets. The present value of the purchase contract payments of $62 million were recorded in Deferred Credits and Other
Noncurrent Liabilitieswith a current portion in Other Current Liabilities at the time of issuance, representing the obligation to make forward equity contract payments, with an offsetting reduction to Paid-in Capital. The difference between the face value and present value of the purchase contract payments will be accreted to Interest Expense on the statements of income over the three year period ending in 2022. The liability recorded for the contract payments is considered non-cash and excluded from the statements of cash flows. Until settlement of the forward equity purchase contract, earnings per share dilution resulting from the equity unit issuance will be determined under the treasury stock method. The maximum amount of shares AEP will be required to issue to settle the purchase contract is 9,701,860 shares (subject to an anti-dilution adjustment).

Securitized Accounts ReceivableReceivables – AEP Credit (Applies to AEP)
AEP Credit has a receivables securitization agreement withthat provides a commitment of $750 million from bank conduits.conduits to purchase receivables and expires in September 2022. Under the securitization agreement, AEP Credit receives financing from the bank conduits for the interest in the receivables AEP Credit acquires from affiliated utility subsidiaries. These securitized transactions allow AEP Credit to repay its outstanding debt obligations, continue to purchase the operating companies’ receivables and accelerate AEP Credit’s cash collections.
In March 2021, AEP Credit’sCredit amended its receivables securitization agreement providesto extend trigger levels established in October 2020 and to also provide a commitmentstep down approach to these levels as management continues to monitor the accounts receivable balances across the affiliated utility subsidiaries in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. In June 2021, AEP Credit entered into a waiver for both APCo and SWEPCo to waive certain triggers through August 2021 due to the continuing impact of $750 million from bank conduitsthe COVID-19 pandemic. As of June 30, 2021, the affiliated utility subsidiaries are in compliance with all requirements under the agreement. To the extent that an affiliated utility subsidiary is deemed ineligible under the agreement, the affiliated utility subsidiary would no longer participate in the receivables securitization agreement and the Registrants would need to purchaserely on additional sources of funding for operation and working capital, which may adversely impact liquidity. The receivables and expires in June 2019.that are ineligible under the receivables securitization agreement are financed with short-term debt at AEP Credit.

Securitized Accounts Receivables – AEP Credit (Applies to all Registrant Subsidiaries except AEP Texas and AEPTCo)
Under this sale of receivables arrangement, the Registrant Subsidiaries sell, without recourse, certain of their customer accounts receivable and accrued unbilled revenue balances to AEP Credit and are charged a fee based on AEP Credit’s financing costs, administrative costs and uncollectible accounts experience for each Registrant Subsidiary’s receivables. APCo does not have regulatory authority to sell its West Virginia accounts receivable. The costs of customer accounts receivable sold are reported in Other Operation expense on the Registrant Subsidiaries’ statements of income. The Registrant Subsidiaries manage and service their customer accounts receivable, which are sold to AEP Credit. AEP Credit securitizes the eligible receivables for the operating companies and retains the remainder.

Asset Retirement Obligations
The accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities” is a consolidation model that considers if a company has a variable interestRegistrants record ARO in a VIE. A VIE is a legal entity that possesses any of the following conditions: the entity’s equity at risk is not sufficient to permit the legal entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support, equity owners are unable to direct the activities that most significantly impact the legal entity’s economic performance (or they possess disproportionate voting rights in relation to the economic interest in the legal entity), or the equity owners lack the obligation to absorb the legal entity’s expected losses or the right to receive the legal entity’s expected residual returns. Entities are required to consolidate a VIE when it is determined that they have a controlling financial interest in a VIE and therefore, are the primary beneficiary of that VIE, as defined byaccordance with the accounting guidance for “Variable Interest Entities.” In determining whether AEP is“Asset Retirement and Environmental Obligations” for legal obligations for asbestos removal and for the primary beneficiaryretirement of a VIE, management considers whether AEP has the power to direct the mostcertain ash disposal facilities, wind farms, solar farms and certain coal mining facilities. The discussion below summarizes significant activities of the VIE and is obligated to absorb losses or receive the expected residual returns that are significantchanges to the VIE. Management believes that significant assumptionsRegistrants ARO recorded in 2021 and judgments were applied consistently.
Desert Sky Wind Farm LLC (Desert Sky) and Trent Wind Farm LLC (Trent) (collectively “the LLCs”) were established forshould be read in conjunction with the purpose of repowering, owning and operating approximately 310.5 MW of wind-powered electric energy generation facilities in Texas. In January 2018, AEP admitted a non-affiliate as a member of the LLCs to own and repower Desert Sky and Trent, which is expected to be completed in 2018. The non-affiliate contributed full turbine sets to each project in exchange for a 20.1% interest in the LLCs. The non-affiliates’ contribution of $84 million was recorded as Net Property, Plant and Equipment note within the 2020 Annual Report.
In 2020, Virginia’s Governor signed House Bill 443 (HB 443) requiring APCo to close certain ash disposal units at the retired Glen Lyn Station by removal of all coal combustion material. In June 2020, APCo recorded a revision to increase estimated Glen Lyn Station ash disposal ARO liabilities by $199 million due to the enactment of HB 443. In June 2021, management completed fully designed and costed project plans for the Glen Lyn Station site and increased ash disposal ARO liabilities by an additional $79 million. HB 443 provides for the recovery of all costs associated with closure by removal through the Virginia environmental rate adjustment clause. APCo is permitted to record carrying costs on the unrecovered balance sheets, which wasof closure costs at a weighted-average cost of capital approved by the fair valueVirginia SCC.
The following is a reconciliation of the aggregate carrying amounts of ARO for AEP and APCo:

(a)Includes ARO related to ash disposal facilities.
(b)Includes ARO related to nuclear decommissioning costs for the Cook Plant of $1.83 billion and $1.80 billion as of the contribution date determined based on key input assumptions of the original cost of the full turbine setsJune 30, 2021 and the discounted cash flow benefit associated with the production tax credits available from repowering Desert Sky and Trent based on their expected net capacity, capacity factor and the operational availability. AEP owns 79.9% of the LLCs. As a result, management has concluded that Desert Sky and Trent, collectively, are VIE’s and that AEP is the primary beneficiary based on its power to direct the activities that most significantly impact Desert Sky and Trent’s economic performance. Also in January 2018, Desert Sky and Trent entered into a forward PPA for the sale of power to AEPEPDecember 31, 2020, respectively.
(c)Includes ARO related to deliveries of electricity beginning January 1, 2021 for a 12 year period. PriorSabine and DHLC.
(d)Includes ARO related to the effective date of the PPA, Desert Sky and Trent will sell power at market rates into ERCOT. AEP and the non-affiliate will share tax attributes including production tax credits and cash distributions from the operation of the LLCs generally consistent with the ownership percentages.

AEP has a call right, which if exercised, would require the non-affiliate to sell its noncontrolling interest in the LLCs to AEP. The exercise period is for ninety days, beginning two years after the repowering completion. The non-affiliates’ interest in the LLCs is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest on the balance sheets. The non-affiliate holds redemption rights, which if exercised, would require AEP to purchase the non-affiliates’ noncontrolling interest in the LLCs. The exercise price for both the call and redemption right are determined using a discounted cash flow model with agreed input assumptions as well as potential updates to certain assumptions reasonably expected based on the actual results of the LLCs. As of March 31, 2018, AEP recorded $71 million of Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest in Mezzanine Equity on the balance sheets.

Performance Obligations
AEP has performance obligations as part of its normal course of business. A performance obligation is a promise to transfer a distinct good or service, or a series of distinct goods or services that are substantially the same(c)Amounts include affiliated and have the same pattern of transfer to a customer.nonaffiliated revenues. The invoice practical expedient within the accounting guidance for “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” allows for the recognition of revenue from performance obligations in the amount of consideration to which there is a right to invoice the customer and when the amount for which there is a right to invoice corresponds directly to the value transferred to the customer.
The purpose of the invoice practical expedient is to depict an entity’s measure of progress toward completion of the performance obligation within a contract and can only be applied to performance obligations that are satisfied over time and when the invoice is representative of services provided to date. AEP subsidiaries elected to apply the invoice practical expedient to recognizeaffiliated revenue for performance obligations satisfied over time as the invoices from the respective revenue streams are representative of services or goods provided to date to the customer. Performance obligations for AEP’s subsidiaries are summarized as follows:
Retail Revenues
AEP’s subsidiaries within the Vertically Integrated Utilities and Transmission and Distribution Utilities segments have performance obligations to generate, transmit and distribute electricity for sale to rate-regulated retail customers. The performance obligation to deliver electricity is satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided. Revenues are variable as they are subject to the customer’s usage requirements.
Rate-regulated retail customers typically have the right to discontinue receiving service at will, therefore these contracts between AEP’s subsidiaries and their customers for rate-regulated services are generally limited to the services requested and received to date for such arrangements. Retail customers are generally billed on a monthly basis, and payment is typically due within 15 to 20 days after the issuance of the invoice. Payments from Retail Electric Providers are due to AEP Texas within 35 days.
Wholesale Revenues - Generation
AEP’s subsidiaries within the Vertically Integrated Utilities and Generation & Marketing segments have performance obligations to sell electricity to wholesale customers from generation assets in PJM, SPPwas $13 million. The remaining affiliated amounts were immaterial.

Payments from the RTO for transmission services are typically received within one week from the issuance of the invoice, which is issued monthly for SPP and ERCOT and weekly for PJM.
AEP subsidiaries within the PJM and SPP regions collect revenues through Transmission Formula Rates. The FERC-approved rates establish the annual transmission revenue requirement (ATRR) and transmission service rates for transmission owners. The formula rates establish rates for a one year period and also include a true-up calculation for the prior year’s billings, allowing for over/under-recovery of the transmission owner’s ATRR. The annual true-ups meet the definition of alternative revenues in accordance with the accounting guidance for “Regulated Operations,” and are therefore presented as such in the disaggregated revenue tables above. AEP subsidiaries within the ERCOT region collect revenues through a combination of base rates and interim Transmission Costs of Services filings that are approved by the PUCT.
Wholesale Revenues - Transmission Affiliated
APCo, I&M, KGPCo, KPCo, OPCo and WPCo (AEP East Companies) are parties to the Transmission Agreement (TA), which defines how transmission costs are allocated among the AEP East Companies on a 12-month average coincident peak basis. PSO, SWEPCO and AEPSC are parties to the Transmission Coordination Agreement (TCA) by and among PSO, SWEPCO and AEPSC, in connection with the operation of the transmission assets of the two AEP utility subsidiaries. AEPTCo is a load serving entity within the PJM and SPP regions providing transmission services to affiliates in accordance with the OATT, TA and TCA.

(Applies to all Registrants other than AEP Texas)Registrants)
AEP provides transmission service under rates regulated by the FERC. The FERC has approved the cost-based formula rate templates used by AEP to calculate its respective annual revenue requirements, but it has not expressly approved the amount of actual capital and operating expenditures to be used in the formula rates. All aspects of AEP’s rates accepted or approved by the FERC, including the formula rate templates, the rates of return on the actual equity portion of its respective capital structures and the approved targeted capital structures, are subject to challenge by interested parties at the FERC, or by the FERC on its own initiative. In addition, interested parties may challenge the annual implementation and calculation by AEP of its projected rates and formula rate true up pursuant to its approved formula rate templates under AEP’s formula rate implementation protocols. If a challenger can establish that any of these aspects are unjust, unreasonable, unduly discriminatory or preferential, then the FERC will make appropriate prospective adjustments to them and/or disallow any of AEP’s inclusion of those aspects in the rate setting formula.
In October 2016, seven parties filed a complaint at the FERC that alleged the base return on common equity used by AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM in calculating formula transmission rates under the PJM OATT is excessive and should be reduced from 10.99% to 8.32%, effective upon the date of the complaint. In November 2017, a FERC order set the matter for hearing and settlement procedures. In March 2018, AEP’s transmission owning subsidiaries within PJM and six of the complainants filed a settlement agreement with the FERC (the seventh complainant abstained).
In April 2018, certain intervenors filed comments at the FERC recommending a base ROE of 8.48% and a one-time refund of $184 million. In addition, the FERC trial staff filed comments recommending a base ROE of 8.41% and one-time refund of $175 million. Also in April 2018, another intervenor recommended the refund be calculated in accordance with the approved base ROE. Management believes its financial statements adequately address the impact of the settlement agreement. If the FERC orders revenue reductions in excess of the terms of the settlement agreement, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition. A decision from the FERC is pending.
In June 2017, a similar complaint was filed with the FERC claiming that the base ROE used by certain AEP subsidiaries that operate in SPP, including the West Transcos, in calculating formula transmission rates under the SPP OATT is excessive and should be reduced from 10.7% to 8.36%, effective upon the date of the complaint. If the FERC orders revenue reductions as a result of the complaint, including refunds from the date of the complaint filing, it could reduce future net income and cash flows and impact financial condition.
End-use consumers and entities supplying electricity to end-use consumers may also attempt to influence government and/or regulators to change the rate setting methodologies that apply to AEP, particularly if rates for delivered electricity increase substantially.
OVEC may require additional liquidity and other capital support. (Applies to AEP, APCo, I&M and OPCo)
AEP and several nonaffiliated utility companies own OVEC. The Inter-Company Power Agreement (ICPA) defines the rights and obligations and sets the power participation ratio of the parties to it. Under the ICPA, parties are entitled to receive and are obligated to pay for all OVEC capacity (approximately 2,400 MWs) in proportion to their respective power participation ratios. The aggregate power participation ratio of APCo, I&M and OPCo is 43.47%. If a party fails to make payments owed by it under the ICPA, OVEC may not have sufficient funds to honor its payment obligations, including its ongoing operating expenses as well as its indebtedness. OVEC has outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.4 billion, of which APCo, I&M, and OPCo are collectively responsible for $622 million through the ICPA. Although they are not an obligor or guarantor, APCo, I&M, and OPCo are responsible for their respective ratio of OVEC’s outstanding debt through the ICPA.
A nonaffiliated party, whose aggregate power participation ratio is 4.85% under the ICPA, has filed a petition seeking protection under bankruptcy law. Bankruptcy filings typically trigger review of the petitioner’s contractual obligations, including, in this instance, the ICPA. Because the ICPA is subject to FERC approvalincome taxation at the federal level and jurisdiction, priorby certain states and municipalities. In determining AEP’s income tax liability for these jurisdictions, management monitors changes to the bankruptcy petition OVEC made a filing at FERC seeking, among other objectives,applicable tax laws and related regulations. While management believes it is in compliance with current prevailing laws, one or more taxing jurisdictions could seek to confirm FERC’s jurisdiction. Litigation related to these filings continues.impose incremental or new taxes on the company. In addition, as a result of the most recent presidential and congressional elections in the United States, there could be significant changes in tax law and regulations that could result in additional federal income taxes being imposed on AEP. Any adverse developments in these laws or regulations, including legislative changes, judicial holdings or administrative interpretations, could have a material and prior related developments, OVEC’s credit ratings have been impacted.adverse effect on financial condition and results of operations.
If OVEC does not have sufficient funds to honor its payment obligations, there is risk that APCo, I&M and/or OPCo may need to make payments in addition to their power participation ratio payments. Further, if OVEC’s indebtedness is accelerated for any reason, there is risk that APCo, I&M and/or OPCo may be required to pay some or all of such accelerated indebtedness in amounts equal to their aggregate power participation ratio of 43.47%. Also, as a result of the credit rating agencies’ actions, OVEC’s ability to access capital markets on terms as favorable as previously may diminish and its financing costs will increase.

Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
The Federal Mine Safety and Health Act of 1977 (Mine Act) imposes stringent health and safety standards on various mining operations. The Mine Act and its related regulations affect numerous aspects of mining operations, including training of mine personnel, mining procedures, equipment used in mine emergency procedures, mine plans and other matters. SWEPCo, through its ownership of DHLC, a wholly-owned lignite mining subsidiary of SWEPCo, is subject to the provisions of the Mine Act.
The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (Dodd-Frank Act) requires companies that operate mines to include in their periodic reports filed with the SEC, certain mine safety information covered by the Mine Act. Exhibit 95 “Mine Safety Disclosure Exhibit” contains the notices of violation and proposed assessments received by DHLC under the Mine Act for the quarter ended March 31, 2018.June 30, 2021.
