In 2024, we've seen unprecedented weather extremes. Our lineworkers, always ready to respond, are currently tackling the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, many far away from their families. Today is recognized by the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW) as Lineworker Appreciation Day, an important one in the utility industry. We’re grateful for these brave individuals and all they do for our communities today and all days. #ThankALineworker AEP Ohio AEP Texas Appalachian Power Indiana Michigan Power Kentucky Power Public Service Company of Oklahoma Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO)

Bucket truck rides, #drones and #VR were some of the most exciting parts of our lunch welcoming our summer interns to AEP. Students got to explore the A Ray King Transmission Training Center and see up close what it takes to keep the lights on. We’re excited to have these future #engineers with us for the next few months as they explore #AEPcareers with us.

It’s truly remarkable to see the way that our crews across companies and states come together to support their sister utilities and their communities when the weather does her worst. Thank you to everyone who rallied behind Southwestern Electric Power Company (SWEPCO) during the last couple of weeks. #MutualAid #StormRecovery
HEARTFELT APPRECIATION - EVP of Utilities, Peggy Simmons, shared a message of gratitude to our team and our communities after weeks of back-to-back devastating storms, which included 11 tornadoes, historic rainfall and high winds in Arkansas, Texas and Louisiana. All of us at SWEPCO echo her sentiments and are so thankful for our crews and the crews that came from AEP Texas and Public Service Company of Oklahoma to offer mutual assistance as we worked to get the lights back on as quickly and as safely as possible. We also extend our gratitude to our customers for their support and patience during this difficult storm season. #ThankALineworker
