PART I

ITEM 1.BUSINESS

GENERAL

OVERVIEW AND DESCRIPTION OF SUBSIDIARIES

AEP was incorporated under the laws of the State of New York in 1906 and reorganized in 1925. It is a public utility holding company that owns, directly or indirectly, all of the outstanding common stock of its public utility subsidiaries and varying percentages of other subsidiaries.

The service areas of AEP’s public utility subsidiaries cover portions of the states of Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Virginia and West Virginia. The generating and transmission facilities of AEP’s public utility subsidiaries are interconnected and their operations are coordinated. Transmission networks are interconnected with extensive distribution facilities in the territories served. The public utility subsidiaries of AEP have traditionally provided electric service, consisting of generation, transmission and distribution, on an integrated basis to their retail customers. Restructuring legislation in Michigan, Ohio, Texas and Virginia has caused AEP public utility subsidiaries in those states to unbundle previously integrated regulated rates for their retail customers.

The AEP System is an integrated electric utility system and, as a result, the member companies of the AEP System have contractual, financial and other business relationships with the other member companies, such as participation in the AEP System savings and retirement plans and tax returns, sales of electricity and transportation and handling of fuel. The member companies of the AEP System also obtain certain accounting, administrative, information systems, engineering, financial, legal, maintenance and other services at cost from a common provider, AEPSC.

At December 31, 2005, the subsidiaries of AEP had a total of 19,630 employees. Because it is a holding company rather than an operating company, AEP has no employees. The public utility subsidiaries of AEP are:

APCo(organized in Virginia in 1926) is engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power to approximately 942,000 retail customers in the southwestern portion of Virginia and southern West Virginia, and in supplying and marketing electric power at wholesale to other electric utility companies, municipalities and other market participants.

APCo is a member of PJM.

CSPCo(organized in Ohio in 1937, the earliest direct predecessor company having been organized in 1883) is engaged in the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power to approximately 710,000 retail customers in Ohio, and in supplying and marketing electric power at wholesale to other electric utilities, municipalities and other market participants. At December 31, 2005, CSPCo had 1,178 employees. CSPCo’s service area is comprised of two areas in Ohio, which include portions of twenty-five counties.

 EPACT AND THE REPEAL OF PUHCA

EPACT was signed into law on August 8, 2005. Among other things, EPACT repealed PUHCA, effective February 8, 2006. PUHCA regulated many significant aspects of a registered holding company system, such as the AEP System. PUHCA limited the operations of a registered holding company system to a single integrated public utility system and such other businesses as were incidental or necessary to the operations of the system. PUHCA also required that transactions between associated companies in a registered holding company system be performed at cost, with limited exceptions. As a result of PUHCA’s repeal, utility holding companies, including the AEP system, are no longer limited to a single integrated public utility system. Further, utility holding companies are no longer restricted from acquiring businesses that may not be related to the utility business. Jurisdiction over certain holding company related activities has been transferred to the FERC. Specifically, the FERC has jurisdiction over the issuances of securities of our public utility subsidiaries, the acquisition of securities of utilities, the acquisition or sale of certain utility assets, and mergers with another electric utility or holding company. In addition, both FERC and state regulators will be permitted to review the books and records of any company within a holding company system.

EPACT contains key provisions affecting the electric power industry. These provisions include tax changes for the utility industry, incentives for emissions reductions and federal insurance and incentives to build new nuclear power plants. It gives the FERC “backstop” transmission siting authority as well as increased utility merger oversight. The law also provides incentives and funding for clean coal technologies and initiatives to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gases. The law required the FERC to issue certain regulations implementing EPACT within 120 days of enactment. We have reviewed the proposed rules and are participating in the public comment process. However, we cannot currently predict what impact the final rules will have on our financial condition and results of operations.

AEP-CSW MERGER

On June 15, 2000, a wholly owned merger subsidiary of AEP merged with and into CSW (now known as AEP Utilities, Inc.). As a result, CSW became a wholly owned subsidiary of AEP. The four wholly owned public utility subsidiaries of CSW - PSO, SWEPCo, TCC and TNC - became indirect wholly owned public utility subsidiaries of AEP as a result of the merger. The merger was approved by the FERC and the SEC.

On January 18, 2002, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia ruled that the SEC failed to properly explain how the merger met the requirements of PUHCA and remanded the case to the SEC for further review. Upon PUHCA’s repeal in February 2006, we received a letter from the SEC which formally dismissed the proceeding challenging our merger.

FINANCING

General

Companies within the AEP System generally use short-term debt to finance working capital needs. Short-term debt is also used to finance acquisitions, construction and redemption or repurchase of outstanding securities until such needs can be financed with long-term debt. In recent history, short-term funding needs have been provided for by cash on hand and AEP’s commercial paper program. Funds are made available to subsidiaries under the AEP corporate borrowing program. Certain public utility subsidiaries of AEP also sell accounts receivable to provide liquidity.

AEP’s revolving credit agreements (which backstop the commercial paper program) include covenants and events of default typical for this type of facility, including a maximum debt/capital test and a $50 million cross-acceleration provision. At December 31, 2005, AEP was in compliance with its debt covenants. With the exception of a voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency, any event of default has either or both a cure period or notice requirement before termination of the agreements. A voluntary bankruptcy or insolvency would be considered an immediate termination event. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, under the heading entitled Financial Condition for additional information with respect to AEP’s credit agreements.

AEP’s subsidiaries have also utilized, and expect to continue to utilize, additional financing arrangements, such as leasing arrangements, including the leasing of utility assets and coal mining and transportation equipment and facilities.

Credit Ratings

In September 2005, Moody’s upgraded AEP’s senior unsecured rating to Baa2 from Baa3 and its commercial paper rating to Prime-2 from Prime-3. There were no changes in the ratings or rating outlook for AEP’s rated subsidiaries in 2005. S&P and Fitch did not change the ratings of AEP or its rated subsidiaries during 2005.

See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, under the heading entitled Financial Condition for additional information with respect to the credit ratings of the registrants other than AEGCo.

ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER MATTERS

General

AEP’s subsidiaries are currently subject to regulation by federal, state and local authorities with regard to air and water-quality control and other environmental matters, and are subject to zoning and other regulation by local authorities. The environmental issues that are potentially material to the AEP system include:

·   The CAA and CAAA and state laws and regulations (including State Implementation Plans) that require compliance, obtaining permits and reporting as to air emissions. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations under the headings entitled Environmental Matters -Clean Air Act Requirements and Estimated Air Quality Environmental Investments.

·   Litigation with the federal and certain state governments and certain special interest groups regarding whether modifications to or maintenance of certain coal-fired generating plants required additional permitting or pollution control technology, and/or whether emissions from coal-fired generating plants cause or contribute to global climate changes. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations under the heading entitled Environmental Matters - Environmental Litigation and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Commitments and Contingencies, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for further information.

·   Rules issued by the EPA and certain states that require substantial reductions in SO₂, mercury and NOx emissions, some of which became effective in 2005. The remaining compliance dates and proposals would take effect periodically through as late as 2018. AEP is installing (and has installed) emission control technology and is taking other measures to comply with required reductions. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations under the headings entitled Environmental Matters - Clean Air Act Requirements and Estimated Air Quality Environmental Investments included in the 2005 Annual Reports for further information.

·   CERCLA, which imposes costs for environmental remediation upon owners and previous owners of sites, as well as transporters and generators of hazardous material disposed of at such sites. AEP does not, however, anticipate that any of its currently identified CERCLA-related issues will result in material costs or penalties to the AEP System. See Note 7, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, under the heading entitled The Comprehensive Environmental Response Compensation and Liability Act (Superfund) and State Remediation for further information.

·   The Federal Clean Water Act, which prohibits the discharge of pollutants into waters of the United States except pursuant to appropriate permits. In July 2004, the EPA adopted a new Clean Water Act rule to reduce the number of fish and other aquatic organisms killed at once-through cooled power plants. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, under the heading entitled Environmental Matters -Clean Water Act Regulations for additional information.

·   Solid and hazardous waste laws and regulations, which govern the management and disposal of certain wastes. The majority of solid waste created from the combustion of coal and fossil fuels is fly ash and other coal combustion byproducts, which the EPA has determined are not hazardous waste subject to RCRA.

In addition to imposing continuing compliance obligations, these laws and regulations authorize the imposition of substantial penalties for noncompliance, including fines, injunctive relief and other sanctions. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations under the heading entitled Environmental Matters, included in the 2005 Annual Reports,for further information with respect to environmental issues.

If our expenditures for pollution control technologies, replacement generation and associated operating costs are not recoverable from customers through regulated rates (in regulated jurisdictions) or market prices (in deregulated jurisdictions), those costs could adversely affect future results of operations and cash flows, and possibly financial condition.

The cost of complying with applicable environmental laws, regulations and rules is expected to be material to the AEP System.

See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations under the heading entitled Environmental Matters and Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Commitments and Contingencies, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for further information with respect to environmental matters.

Environmental Investments

Investments related to improving AEP System plants’ environmental performance and compliance with air and water quality standards during 2004 and 2005 and the current estimates for 2006, 2007 and 2008 are shown below, in each case excluding AFUDC. Substantial investments in addition to the amounts set forth below are expected by the System in future years in connection with the modification and addition of facilities at generating plants for environmental quality controls in order to comply with air and water quality standards which have been or may be adopted. Future investments could be significantly greater if litigation regarding whether AEP properly installed emission control equipment on its plants is resolved against any AEP subsidiaries or emissions reduction requirements are accelerated or otherwise become more onerous. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations under the heading entitled Environmental Matters andNote 7 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Commitments and Contingencies, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for more information regarding this litigation and environmental expenditures in general.

Electric and Magnetic Fields

EMF are found everywhere there is electricity. Electric fields are created by the presence of electric charges. Magnetic fields are produced by the flow of those charges. This means that EMF are created by electricity flowing in transmission and distribution lines, electrical equipment, household wiring, and appliances.

A number of studies in the past several years have examined the possibility of adverse health effects from EMF. While some of the epidemiological studies have indicated some association between exposure to EMF and health effects, none has produced any conclusive evidence that EMF does or does not cause adverse health effects.

Management cannot predict the ultimate impact of the question of EMF exposure and adverse health effects. If further research shows that EMF exposure contributes to increased risk of cancer or other health problems, or if the courts conclude that EMF exposure harms individuals and that utilities are liable for damages, or if states limit the strength of magnetic fields to such a level that the current electricity delivery system must be significantly changed, then the results of operations and financial condition of AEP and its operating subsidiaries could be materially adversely affected unless these costs can be recovered from customers.

UTILITY OPERATIONS

GENERAL

Utility operations constitute most of AEP’s business operations. Utility operations include (i) the generation, transmission and distribution of electric power to retail customers and (ii) the supplying and marketing of electric power at wholesale (through the electric generation function) to other electric utility companies, municipalities and other market participants. AEPSC, as agent for AEP’s public utility subsidiaries, performs marketing, generation dispatch, fuel procurement and power-related risk management and trading activities.

ELECTRIC GENERATION

Facilities

AEP’s public utility subsidiaries own or lease approximately 35,000 MW of domestic generation. See Item 2 — Properties for more information regarding AEP’s generation capacity.

AEP Power Pool and CSW Operating Agreement

APCo, CSPCo, I&M, KPCo and OPCo are parties to the Interconnection Agreement, dated July 6, 1951, as amended (Interconnection Agreement), defining how they share the costs and benefits associated with their generating plants. This sharing is based upon each company’s “member-load-ratio.” The Interconnection Agreement has been approved by the FERC.

The member-load-ratio is calculated monthly by dividing such company’s highest monthly peak demand for the last twelve months by the aggregate of the highest monthly peak demand for the last twelve months for all east zone public utility subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2005, the member-load-ratios were as follows:

	Peak Demand (MW)	Member-Load Ratio (%)
APCo	7,080	31.2
CSPCo	4,105	18.1
I&M	4,193	18.5
KPCo	1,685	7.4
OPCo	5,638	24.8

The Ohio Act was enacted in 2001. To comply with that law CSPCo and OPCo functionally separated their generation business from their remaining operations. They plan to remain functionally separated through at least December 31, 2008 as authorized by their rate stabilization plan approved by the PUCO. See Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations, under the heading entitled Ohio Regulatory Activity included in the 2005 Annual Reports under the heading entitled Significant Factors and Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Customer Choice and Industry Restructuring, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for more information.

Since 1995, APCo, CSPCo, I&M, KPCo and OPCo have been parties to the AEP System Interim Allowance Agreement (Allowance Agreement), which provides, among other things, for the transfer of emission allowances associated with transactions under the Interconnection Agreement. The following table shows the net (credits) or charges allocated among the parties under the Interconnection Agreement and the Allowance Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:

		2003			2004			2005
	(in thousands)
APCo	$	218,000		$	239,400		$	288,000

I&M		(118,800	)		(141,500	)		(197,400	)
KPCo		38,400			31,600			42,200
OPCo		(414,400	)		(414,400	)		(418,400	)

PSO, SWEPCo, TCC, TNC, and AEPSC are parties to a Restated and Amended Operating Agreement originally dated as of January 1, 1997 (CSW Operating Agreement), which has been approved by the FERC. The CSW Operating Agreement requires the west zone public utility subsidiaries to maintain adequate annual planning reserve margins and requires the subsidiaries that have capacity in excess of the required margins to make such capacity available for sale to other AEP west zone public utility subsidiaries as capacity commitments. Parties are compensated for energy delivered to recipients based upon the deliverer’s incremental cost plus a portion of the recipient’s savings realized by the purchaser that avoids the use of more costly alternatives. Revenues and costs arising from third party sales in their region are generally shared based on the amount of energy each west zone public utility subsidiary contributes that is sold to third parties. The separation of the generation business undertaken by TCC and TNC to comply with the Texas Act has made the business operations of TCC and TNC incompatible with the CSW Operating Agreement. We have applied with the FERC to remove these two companies from the CSW Operating Agreement. Upon approval (or earlier for TCC, if the sale of its interest in the Oklaunion plant occurs first), these companies will no longer supply generating capacity under the CSW Operating Agreement.

The following table shows the net (credits) or charges allocated among the parties under the CSW Operating Agreement during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:

		2003			2004			2005
	(in thousands)
PSO	$	44,000		$	55,000		$	27,600
SWEPCo		(46,600	)		(59,800	)		(27,500	)
TCC		(29,500	)		1,100			0
TNC		32,100			3,700			(100	)

Power generated by or allocated or provided under the Interconnection Agreement or CSW Operating Agreement to any public utility subsidiary is primarily sold to customers (or in the case of the ERCOT area of Texas, to REPs) by such public utility subsidiary at rates approved (other than in the ERCOT area of Texas) by the public utility commission in the jurisdiction of sale. In Ohio and Virginia, such rates are based on a statutory formula as those jurisdictions continue to transition to the use of market rates for generation. See Regulation — Rates under Item 1, Utility Operations.

Under both the Interconnection Agreement and CSW Operating Agreement, power that is not needed to serve the native load of our public utility subsidiaries is sold in the wholesale market by AEPSC on behalf of those subsidiaries. See Risk Management and Trading, below, for a discussion of the trading and marketing of such power.

AEP’s System Integration Agreement, which has been approved by the FERC, provides for the integration and coordination of AEP’s east and west zone operating subsidiaries. This includes joint dispatch of generation within the AEP System and the distribution, between the two zones, of costs and benefits associated with the transfers of power between the two zones (including sales to third parties and risk management and trading activities). It is designed to function as an umbrella agreement in addition to the Interconnection Agreement and the CSW Operating Agreement, each of which controls the distribution of costs and benefits for activities within each zone. The separation of the generation business undertaken by TCC and TNC to comply with the Texas Act has made the business operations of TCC and TNC incompatible with the System Integration Agreement. As a result, we have applied with the FERC to remove these two companies from this agreement.

Risk Management and Trading

As agent for AEP’s public utility subsidiaries, AEPSC sells excess power into the market and engages in power, natural gas, coal and emissions allowances risk management and trading activities focused in regions in which AEP traditionally operates. These activities primarily involve the purchase and sale of electricity (and to a lesser extent, natural gas, coal and emissions allowances) under physical forward contracts at fixed and variable prices. These contracts include physical transactions, over-the-counter swaps and exchange-traded futures and options. The majority of physical forward contracts are typically settled by entering into offsetting contracts.These transactions are executed with numerous counterparties or on exchanges. Counterparties and exchanges may require cash or cash related instruments to be deposited on these transactions as margin against open positions. As of December 31, 2005, counterparties and exchanges have posted approximately $324 million in cash, cash equivalents or letters of credit with AEPSC for the benefit of AEP’s public utility subsidiaries (while, as of that date, AEP’s public utility subsidiaries had posted approximately $127 million with counterparties and exchanges). Since open trading contracts are valued based on changes in market power prices, exposures change daily.

Fuel Supply

The following table shows the sources of power generated by the AEP System:

	2003	2004	2005
Coal and Lignite	80%	83%	83%
Natural Gas	7%	5%	6%
Nuclear	9%	12%	10%
Hydroelectric and other	4%	1%	1%

Variations in the generation of nuclear power are primarily related to refueling and maintenance outages and to the sale of TCC’s share of STP in May 2005. Variations in the generation of natural gas power are primarily related to the availability of cheaper alternatives to fulfill certain power requirements and the deactivation or sale of certain gas-fired plants owned by TCC and TNC. Price increases in one or more fuel sources relative to other fuels generally result in increased use of other fuels.

Coal and Lignite: AEP’s public utility subsidiaries procure coal and lignite under a combination of purchasing arrangements including long-term contracts, affiliate operations, short-term, and spot agreements with various producers and coal trading firms. The price for coal fuels increased in 2005 and we expect that this trend may continue. Management has responded to increases in the price of coal by rebalancing the coal used in its generating facilities with products from different coal regions and sources of differing heat and sulfur contents. This rebalancing is an ongoing process that is expected to continue. Management believes, but cannot provide assurances, that AEP’s public utility subsidiaries will be able to secure and transport coal and lignite of adequate quality and in adequate quantities to operate their coal and lignite-fired units. See Item 1 - Investments-Other for a discussion of AEP’s coal marketing and transportation operations.

The following table shows the amount of coal and lignite delivered to the AEP System during the past three years and the average delivered price of spot coal purchased by System companies:

	2003	2004	2005
Total coal delivered to AEP operated plants (thousands of tons)	76,042	71,778	75,063
Average price per ton of spot-purchased coal	$28.91	$33.83	$43.75

The coal supplies at AEP System plants vary from time to time depending on various factors, including customers’ usage of electric power, space limitations, the rate of consumption at particular plants, labor issues and weather conditions that may interrupt deliveries. At December 31, 2005, the System’s coal inventory was approximately 30 days of normal usage.

In cases of emergency or shortage, system companies have developed programs to conserve coal supplies at their plants. Such programs have been filed and reviewed with officials of federal and state agencies and, in some cases, the relevant state regulatory agency has prescribed actions to be taken under specified circumstances by System companies, subject to the jurisdiction of such agency.

The FERC has adopted regulations relating, among other things, to the circumstances under which, in the event of fuel emergencies or shortages, it might order electric utilities to generate and transmit electric power to other regions or systems experiencing fuel shortages, and to ratemaking principles by which such electric utilities would be compensated. In addition, the federal government is authorized, under prescribed conditions, to reallocate coal and to require the transportation thereof, for the use at power plants or major fuel-burning installations experiencing fuel shortages.

Natural Gas: Through its public utility subsidiaries, AEP consumed over 109 billion cubic feet of natural gas during 2005 for generating power. A majority of the natural gas-fired power plants are connected to at least two pipelines, which allows greater access to competitive supplies and improves delivery reliability. A portfolio of long-term, monthly and seasonal firm purchase and transportation agreements (that are entered into on a competitive basis and based on market prices) supplies natural gas requirements for each plant.

Nuclear:I&M has made commitments to meet the current nuclear fuel requirements of the Cook Plant. Steps currently are being taken, based upon the planned fuel cycles for the Cook Plant, to review, evaluate and fulfill I&M’s requirements for the supply of nuclear fuel. I&M has made and will make purchases of uranium in various forms in the spot, short-term, and mid-term markets until it decides that deliveries under long-term supply contracts are warranted.

For purposes of the storage of high-level radioactive waste in the form of spent nuclear fuel, I&M completed modifications to its spent nuclear fuel storage pool more than 10 years ago. I&M anticipates that the Cook Plant has sufficient storage capacity for its spent nuclear fuel to permit normal operations through 2013. I&M has initiated a project to study the use of dry cask storage.

Nuclear Waste and Decommissioning

As the owner of the Cook Plant, I&M has a significant future financial commitment to dispose of spent nuclear fuel and decommission and decontaminate the plant safely. The ultimate cost of retiring the Cook Plant may be materially different from estimates and funding targets as a result of the:

·   Type of decommissioning plan selected;

·   Escalation of various cost elements (including, but not limited to, general inflation);

·   Further development of regulatory requirements governing decommissioning;

·   Limited availability to date of significant experience in decommissioning such facilities;

·   Technology available at the time of decommissioning differing significantly from that assumed in studies;

·   Availability of nuclear waste disposal facilities; and

·   Availability of a DOE facility for permanent storage of spent nuclear fuel.

Accordingly, management is unable to provide assurance that the ultimate cost of decommissioning the Cook Plant will not be significantly different than current projections.

See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Commitments and Contingencies, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for information with respect to nuclear waste and decommissioning and related litigation.

Low-Level Radioactive Waste: The LLWPA mandates that the responsibility for the disposal of low-level radioactive waste rests with the individual states. Low-level radioactive waste consists largely of ordinary refuse and other items that have come in contact with radioactive materials. Michigan does not currently have a disposal site for such waste available. I&M cannot predict when such a site may be available, but South Carolina and Utah operate low-level radioactive waste disposal sites and currently accept low-level radioactive waste from Michigan. I&M’s access to the South Carolina facility is currently allowed through the end of fiscal year 2008. There is currently no set date limiting I&M’s access to the Utah facility.

Structured Arrangements Involving Capacity, Energy, and Ancillary Services

In January 2000, OPCo and NPC, an affiliate of Buckeye, entered into an agreement relating to the construction and operation of a 510 MW gas-fired electric generating peaking facility to be owned by NPC and called the Mone Plant. OPCo is entitled to 100% of the power generated by the Mone Plant, and is responsible for the fuel and other costs of the facility through May 2006. Following that, NPC and OPCo will be entitled to 80% and 20%, respectively, of the power of the Mone Plant, and both parties will generally be responsible for their allocable portion of the fuel and other costs of the facility.

Certain Power Agreements

AEGCo: Since its formation in 1982, AEGCo’s business has consisted of the ownership and financing of its 50% interest in Unit 1 of the Rockport Plant and, since 1989, leasing of its 50% interest in Unit 2 of the Rockport Plant. The operating revenues of AEGCo are derived from the sale of capacity and energy associated with its interest in the Rockport Plant to I&M and KPCo pursuant to unit power agreements, which have been approved by the FERC.

The I&M Power Agreement provides for the sale by AEGCo to I&M of all the capacity (and the energy associated therewith) available to AEGCo at the Rockport Plant. Whether or not power is available from AEGCo, I&M is obligated to pay as a demand charge for the right to receive such power (and as an energy charge for any associated energy taken by I&M). When added to amounts received by AEGCo from any other sources, such amounts will be at least sufficient to enable AEGCo to pay all its operating and other expenses, including a rate of return on the common equity of AEGCo as approved by FERC, currently 12.16%. The I&M Power Agreement will continue in effect until the last of the lease terms of Unit 2 of the Rockport Plant has expired (currently December 2022) unless extended in specified circumstances.

Pursuant to an assignment between I&M and KPCo, and a unit power agreement between KPCo and AEGCo, AEGCo sells KPCo 30% of the capacity (and the energy associated therewith) available to AEGCo from both units of the Rockport Plant. KPCo has agreed to pay to AEGCo the amounts which I&M would have paid AEGCo under the terms of the I&M Power Agreement for such entitlement. The KPCo unit power agreement expires in December 2022.

AEGCo and AEP have entered into a capital funds agreement pursuant to which, among other things, AEP has unconditionally agreed to make cash capital contributions, or in certain circumstances subordinated loans, to AEGCo to the extent necessary to enable AEGCo to (i) maintain such an equity component of capitalization as required by governmental regulatory authorities; (ii) provide its proportionate share of the funds required to permit commercial operation of the Rockport Plant; (iii) enable AEGCo to perform all of its obligations, covenants and agreements under, among other things, all loan agreements, leases and related documents to which AEGCo is or becomes a party (AEGCo Agreements); and (iv) pay all indebtedness, obligations and liabilities of AEGCo (AEGCo Obligations) under the AEGCo Agreements, other than indebtedness, obligations or liabilities owing to AEP. The capital funds agreement will terminate after all AEGCo obligations have been paid in full.

OVEC:AEP, CSPCo and several unaffiliated utility companies jointly own OVEC. In April 2004, AEP agreed to sell a portion of its shares in OVEC (.73% of OVEC) to Louisville Gas and Electric Company. The sale was completed in the first quarter of 2005. As a result of the sale, the aggregate equity participation of AEP and CSPCo in OVEC decreased from 44.2% to 43.47%. Until September 1, 2001, OVEC supplied from its generating capacity the power requirements of a uranium enrichment plant near Portsmouth, Ohio owned by the DOE. The sponsoring companies are now entitled to receive and obligated to pay for all OVEC capacity (approximately 2,200 MW) in proportion to their power participation ratios. The aggregate power participation ratio of APCo, CSPCo, I&M and OPCo is 42.1%. The proceeds from the sale of power by OVEC are designed to be sufficient for OVEC to meet its operating expenses and fixed costs and to provide a return on its equity capital. The Inter-Company Power Agreement (ICPA), which defines the rights of the owners and sets the power participation ratio of each, will expire by its terms on March 12, 2006. An Amended and Restated ICPA has been unanimously approved and executed by the sponsoring companies and OVEC. The amended agreement, filed with and accepted by FERC, extends the term of the ICPA for an additional 20 years to March 13, 2026. The aggregate power participation ratio of the AEP entities in the Amended and Restated ICPA is 43.47%. The AEP-affiliated owners of OVEC and the other owners are evaluating the need for environmental investments related to their ownership interests, which may be material.

Buckeye: On October 1, 2004, AEP joined PJM, and the Buckeye transmission service over the AEP System was transferred under the PJM OATT. Buckeye is entitled under the Cardinal Station Agreement to receive, and is obligated to pay for, the excess of its maximum one-hour coincident peak demand plus a 15% reserve margin over the 1,226,500 kilowatts of capacity of the generating units which Buckeye currently owns in the Cardinal Station. Such demand, which occurred on July 25, 2005, was recorded at 1,434,807 kilowatts.

ELECTRIC TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION

General

AEP’s public utility subsidiaries (other than AEGCo) own and operate transmission and distribution lines and other facilities to deliver electric power. See Item 2—Properties for more information regarding the transmission and distribution lines. Most of the transmission and distribution services are sold, in combination with electric power, to retail customers of AEP’s public utility subsidiaries in their service territories. These sales are made at rates established and approved by the state utility commissions of the states in which they operate, and in some instances, approved by the FERC. See Regulation—Rates. The FERC regulates and approves the rates for wholesale transmission transactions. See Item 1 - Business/Utility Operations - Regulation—FERC. As discussed below, some transmission services also are separately sold to non-affiliated companies.

AEP’s public utility subsidiaries (other than AEGCo) hold franchises or other rights to provide electric service in various municipalities and regions in their service areas. In some cases, these franchises provide the utility with the exclusive right to provide electric service. These franchises have varying provisions and expiration dates. In general, the operating companies consider their franchises to be adequate for the conduct of their business. For a discussion of competition in the sale of power, see Item 1 - Business/Utility Operations - Competition.

AEP Transmission Pool

Transmission Equalization Agreement:APCo, CSPCo, I&M, KPCo and OPCo operate their transmission lines as a single interconnected and coordinated system and are parties to the Transmission Equalization Agreement, dated April 1, 1984, as amended (TEA), defining how they share the costs and benefits associated with their relative ownership of the extra-high-voltage transmission system (facilities rated 345kV and above) and certain facilities operated at lower voltages (138kV up to 345kV). The TEA has been approved by the FERC. Sharing under the TEA is based upon each company’s “member-load-ratio.” The member-load-ratio is calculated monthly by dividing such company’s highest monthly peak demand for the last twelve months by the aggregate of the highest monthly peak demand for the last twelve months for all east zone operating companies. As of December 31, 2005, the member-load-ratios were as follows:

	Peak Demand (MW)	Member-Load Ratio (%)
APCo	7,080	31.2
CSPCo	4,105	18.1
I&M	4,193	18.5
KPCo	1,685	7.4
OPCo	5,638	24.8

The following table shows the net (credits) or charges allocated among the parties to the TEA during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:

	2003			2004			2005
	(in thousands)
APCo	$	0		$	(500	)	$	8,900
CSPCo		38,200			37,700			34,600
I&M		(39,800	)		(40,800	)		(47,000	)
KPCo		(5,600	)		(6,100	)		(3,500	)
OPCo		7,200			9,700			7,000

Transmission Coordination Agreement:PSO, SWEPCo, TCC, TNC and AEPSC are parties to the TCA. The TCA has been approved by the FERC and establishes a coordinating committee, which is charged with the responsibility of overseeing the coordinated planning of the transmission facilities of the west zone public utility subsidiaries, including the performance of transmission planning studies, the interaction of such subsidiaries with independent system operators and other regional bodies interested in transmission planning and compliance with the terms of the OATT filed with the FERC and the rules of the FERC relating to such tariff.

Under the TCA, the west zone public utility subsidiaries have delegated to AEPSC the responsibility of monitoring the reliability of their transmission systems and administering the AEP OATT on their behalf. The TCA also provides for the allocation among the west zone public utility subsidiaries of revenues collected for transmission and ancillary services provided under the AEP OATT.

The following table shows the net (credits) or charges allocated among the parties to the TCA during the years ended December 31, 2003, 2004 and 2005:

	2003			2004			2005
	(in thousands)
PSO	$	4,200		$	8,100		$	3,500
SWEPCo		5,000			13,800			5,200
TCC		(3,600	)		(12,200	)		(3,800	)
TNC		(5,600	)		(9,700	)		(4,900	)

Transmission Services for Non-Affiliates:In addition to providing transmission services in connection with their own power sales, AEP’s public utility subsidiaries through RTOs also provide transmission services for non-affiliated companies. See Item 1 - Business/Utility operations - Regional Transmission Organizations, below. Transmission of electric power by AEP’s public utility subsidiaries is regulated by the FERC.

Coordination of East and West Zone Transmission:AEP’s System Transmission Integration Agreement provides for the integration and coordination of the planning, operation and maintenance of the transmission facilities of AEP’s east and west zone public utility subsidiaries. The System Transmission Integration Agreement functions as an umbrella agreement in addition to the TEA and the TCA. The System Transmission Integration Agreement contains two service schedules that govern:

·   The allocation of transmission costs and revenues and

·   The allocation of third-party transmission costs and revenues and System dispatch costs.

The System Transmission Integration Agreement contemplates that additional service schedules may be added as circumstances warrant.

Regional Transmission Organizations

On April 24, 1996, the FERC issued orders 888 and 889. These orders require each public utility that owns or controls interstate transmission facilities to file an open access network and point-to-point transmission tariff that offers services comparable to the utility’s own uses of its transmission system. The orders also require utilities to functionally unbundle their services, by requiring them to use their own tariffs in making off-system and third-party sales. As part of the orders, the FERC issued a pro-forma tariff that reflects the Commission’s views on the minimum non-price terms and conditions for non-discriminatory transmission service. In addition, the orders require all transmitting utilities to establish an OASIS, which electronically posts transmission information such as available capacity and prices, and require utilities to comply with Standards of Conduct that prohibit utilities’ system operators from providing non-public transmission information to the utility’s merchant energy employees. The orders also allow a utility to seek recovery of certain prudently incurred stranded costs that result from unbundled transmission service.

In December 1999, FERC issued Order 2000, which provides for the voluntary formation of RTOs, entities created to operate, plan and control utility transmission assets. Order 2000 also prescribes certain characteristics and functions of acceptable RTO proposals. As a condition of FERC’s approval in 2000 of AEP’s merger with CSW, AEP was required to transfer functional control of its transmission facilities to one or more RTOs. The AEP East Companies integrated into PJM (a FERC-approved RTO) on October 1, 2004.

SWEPCo and PSO are members of the SPP. In February 2004, the FERC conditionally approved SPP as an RTO. In October 2004, the FERC issued an order granting RTO status to SPP subject to certain filings. The Arkansas Public Service Commission and LPSC are concerned about the effect on retail ratepayers of utilities in Louisiana and Arkansas joining RTOs. These commissions have ordered the utilities in those states, including our utilities, to analyze and submit to them the costs and benefits of RTO options available to the utilities. Certain states in the region have undertaken and released a study investigating the costs and benefits of SPP developing into a RTO that administers energy and associated markets.

The remaining west zone public utility subsidiaries (TCC and TNC) are members of ERCOT.

See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Rate Matters, included in the 2005 Annual Reports under the heading entitled RTO Formation/Integration Costs and Transmission Rate Proceedings at the FERC for a discussion of public utility subsidiary participation in RTOs.

REGULATION

General

Except for retail generation sales in Ohio, Virginia and the ERCOT area of Texas, AEP’s public utility subsidiaries’ retail rates and certain other matters are subject to traditional regulation by the state utility commissions. While still regulated, retail sales in Michigan are now made at unbundled rates. See Item 1 - Utility Operations - Electric Restructuring and Customer Choice Legislation and Rates, below. AEP’s subsidiaries are also subject to regulation by the FERC under the FPA. I&M is subject to regulation by the NRC under the Atomic Energy Act of 1954, as amended, with respect to the operation of the Cook Plant. AEP and its public utility subsidiaries are also subject to the regulatory provisions of EPACT, much of which is administered by the FERC. EPACT contains key provisions affecting the electric power industry. These provisions include tax changes for the utility industry, incentives for emissions reductions and federal insurance and incentives to build new nuclear power plants. It gives the FERC “backstop” transmission siting authority as well as increased utility merger oversight. The law also provides incentives and funding for clean coal technologies and initiatives to voluntarily reduce greenhouse gases.

Rates

Historically, state utility commissions have established electric service rates on a cost-of-service basis, which is designed to allow a utility an opportunity to recover its cost of providing service and to earn a reasonable return on its investment used in providing that service. A utility’s cost of service generally reflects its operating expenses, including operation and maintenance expense, depreciation expense and taxes. State utility commissions periodically adjust rates pursuant to a review of (i) a utility’s revenues and expenses during a defined test period and (ii) such utility’s level of investment. Absent a legal limitation, such as a law limiting the frequency of rate changes or capping rates for a period of time as part of a transition to customer choice of generation suppliers, a state utility commission can review and change rates on its own initiative. Some states may initiate reviews at the request of a utility, customer, governmental or other representative of a group of customers. Such parties may, however, agree with one another not to request reviews of or changes to rates for a specified period of time.

The rates of AEP’s public utility subsidiaries are generally based on the cost of providing traditional bundled electric service (i.e., generation, transmission and distribution service). In Ohio, Virginia and the ERCOT area of Texas, rates are transitioning from bundled cost-based rates for electric service to unbundled cost-based rates for transmission and distribution service on the one hand, and market pricing for and/or customer choice of generation on the other. In Ohio, the PUCO has approved the rate stabilization plans filed by OPCo and CSPCo which, among other things, address retail generation service rates through December 31, 2008. In Virginia, APCo’s base rates are currently capped, subject to certain adjustments described below, at their mid-1999 levels until December 31, 2010, or sooner if the VSCC finds that a competitive market for generation exists in Virginia.

Historically, the state regulatory frameworks in the service area of the AEP System reflected specified fuel costs as part of bundled (or, more recently, unbundled) rates or incorporated fuel adjustment clauses in a utility’s rates and tariffs. Fuel adjustment clauses permit periodic adjustments to fuel cost recovery from customers and therefore provide protection against exposure to fuel cost changes. While the historical framework remains in a portion of AEP’s service territory, recovery of increased fuel costs through a fuel adjustment clause is no longer provided for in Ohio. We are seeking to reactivate fuel clause mechanisms in West Virginia and have received approval from the WVPSC to begin deferral accounting associated with the fuel clause mechanism effective July 1, 2006. Fuel recovery is also limited in the ERCOT area of Texas, but because we mainly serve customers through unaffiliated REPs, there is little impact on AEP of fuel recovery procedures related to service in ERCOT.

The following state-by-state analysis summarizes the regulatory environment of each jurisdiction in which AEP operates. Several public utility subsidiaries operate in more than one jurisdiction.

Indiana: I&M provides retail electric service in Indiana at bundled rates approved by the IURC. While rates are set on a cost-of-service basis, I&M’s base rates are capped through June 30, 2007. Its fuel recovery rate is capped through that time period at a level that automatically increased in January 2006 and will do so again in January 2007. I&M expects, however, that its actual fuel costs will exceed the capped fuel rates permitted through June 30, 2007. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Rate Matters - I&M Indiana Settlement Agreement, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for more information.

Ohio: CSPCo and OPCo each operated as a functionally separated utility and provided “default” retail electric service to customers at unbundled rates pursuant to the Ohio Act through December 31, 2005. The PUCO approved the rate stabilization plan filed by CSPCo and OPCo (which, among other things, addresses default retail generation service rates from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008). The Ohio Consumers' Counsel has appealed the PUCO’s approval of the rate stabilization plans. Retail generation rates will be determined consistent with the rate stabilization plan until December 31, 2008. CSPCo and OPCo are providing and will continue to provide distribution services to retail customers at rates approved by the PUCO. These rates will be frozen (with certain exceptions, including automatic annual increases in generation rates of 3% and 7% for CSPCo and OPCo, respectively) from their levels as of December 31, 2005 through December 31, 2008. Transmission services will continue to be provided at rates established by the FERC. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Customer Choice and Industry Restructuring, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for more information.

Oklahoma: PSO provides retail electric service in Oklahoma at bundled rates approved by the OCC. PSO’s rates are set on a cost-of-service basis. Fuel and purchased energy costs above the amount included in base rates are recovered by applying a fuel adjustment factor to retail kilowatt-hour sales. The factor is generally adjusted annually and is based upon forecasted fuel and purchased energy costs. Over or under collections of fuel costs for prior periods are returned to or recovered from customers when new annual factors are established. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Rate Matters, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for information regarding current rate proceedings.

Texas:TCC has sold substantially all of its generation assets and TNC currently operates on a functionally separated basis. TCC and TNC serve most of their retail customers in the ERCOT area of Texas through non-affiliated REPs. TCC and TNC provide retail transmission and distribution service on a cost-of-service basis at rates approved by the PUCT and wholesale transmission service under tariffs approved by the FERC consistent with PUCT rules. See Notes 4 and 6 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Rate Matters and Customer Choice and Industry Restructuring, respectively, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for information on current rate proceedings and TCC’s true-up proceedings.

In May 2003, the PUCT delayed competition in the SPP area of Texas until at least January 1, 2007. As such, SWEPCo’s Texas operations continue to operate and to be regulated as a traditional bundled utility with both base and fuel rates.

Virginia:APCo provides retail electric service in Virginia at unbundled rates. APCo’s unbundled generation, transmission (which reflect FERC approved transmission rates) and distribution rates as well as its functional separation plan were approved by the VSCC in December 2001. APCO’s base rates are capped at their mid-1999 levels until the end of the transition period (now December 31, 2010), or sooner if the VSCC finds that a competitive market for generation exists in Virginia. APCo is permitted to seek two changes to its capped rates through December 31, 2010. In addition, APCo is entitled to annual rate changes to recover the incremental costs it incurs for transmission and distribution reliability and compliance with state or federal environmental laws or regulations. APCo is entitled to adjustments to fuel rates through 2010 to recover its actual fuel costs, the fuel component of its purchased power costs and certain capacity charges. APCo recovers its generation capacity charges through capped base rates. In July 2005, APCo filed a request with the VSCC seeking approval to recover additional environmental and reliability-related costs. The request is currently pending before the VSCC. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Rate Matters, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for additional information on current rate proceedings.

West Virginia: APCo and WPCo provide retail electric service at bundled rates approved by the WVPSC. While West Virginia generally allows for timely recovery of fuel costs, an earlier rate proceeding for both APCo and WPCo resulted in the suspension of their operative fuel clause mechanisms (though they continue to recover a fixed level of fuel costs through bundled rates). In August 2005, APCo and WPCo collectively filed an application with the WVPSC seeking an increase in their retail rates and the reactivation of their suspended operative fuel clause and other recovery mechanisms. That matter is currently pending before the WVPSC. We have received approval from the WVPSC to begin deferral accounting associated with the fuel clause mechanism effective July 1, 2006. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Rate Matters, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for additional information on current rate proceedings.

Other Jurisdictions: The public utility subsidiaries of AEP also provide service at regulated bundled rates in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and Tennessee and regulated unbundled rates in Michigan.

The following table illustrates the current rate regulation status of the states in which the public utility subsidiaries of AEP operate:

			Fuel Clause Rates(7)
				Off-System Sales Profits	Percentage of AEP System

(1) Represents the percentage of revenues from sales to retail customers from AEP utility companies operating in each state to the total AEP System revenues from sales to retail customers for the year ended December 31, 2005.

(2) The PUCO has approved the rate stabilization plan filed by CSPCo and OPCo that begins after the market development period and extends through December 31, 2008 during which OPCo’s retail generation rates will increase 7% annually and CSPCo’s retail generation rates will increase 3% annually. Distribution rates are frozen, with certain exceptions, through December 31, 2008.

(3) Retail electric service in the ERCOT area of Texas is provided to most customers through unaffiliated REPs with TCC and TNC providing only regulated delivery services. Retail electric service in the SPP area of Texas is provided by SWEPCo and an affiliated REP.

(4) Fuel rates capped through June 2007 billing month at increasing rates subject to certain events at the Cook Plant.

(5) Legislation passed in 2004 capped base rates until December 31, 2010 and expanded the rate change opportunities to one full rate case (including generation, transmission and distribution) between July 1, 2004 and June 30, 2007 and one additional full rate case between July 1, 2007 and December 31, 2010. The new law also permits APCo to recover, on a timely basis, incremental costs incurred on and after July 1, 2004 for transmission and distribution reliability purposes and to comply with state and federal environmental laws and regulations.

(6) ENEC was suspended in West Virginia pursuant to a 1999 rate case stipulation. We are seeking to reactivate ENEC and have received approval from the WVPSC to begin deferral accounting associated with it effective July 1, 2006.

(7) Includes, where applicable, fuel and fuel portion of purchased power.

FERC

Under the FPA, FERC regulates rates for interstate sales at wholesale, transmission of electric power, accounting and other matters, including construction and operation of hydroelectric projects. FERC regulations require AEP to provide open access transmission service at FERC-approved rates. FERC also regulates unbundled transmission service to retail customers. FERC also regulates the sale of power for resale in interstate commerce by (i) approving contracts for wholesale sales to municipal and cooperative utilities and (ii) granting authority to public utilities to sell power at wholesale at market-based rates upon a showing that the seller lacks the ability to improperly influence market prices. Except for wholesale power that AEP delivers within its control area of the SPP, AEP has market-rate authority from FERC, under which most of its wholesale marketing activity takes place.

As a result of PUHCA’s repeal, jurisdiction over certain holding company related activities has been transferred to the FERC. Specifically, the FERC has jurisdiction over the issuances of securities of our public utility subsidiaries, the acquisition of securities of utilities, the acquisition or sale of certain utility assets, and mergers with another electric utility or holding company. In addition, both FERC and state regulators will be permitted to review the books and records of any company within a holding company system. EPACT gives the FERC “backstop” transmission siting authority as well as increased utility merger oversight.

ELECTRIC RESTRUCTURING AND CUSTOMER CHOICE LEGISLATION

Certain states in AEP’s service area have adopted restructuring or customer choice legislation. In general, this legislation provides for a transition from bundled cost-based rate regulated electric service to unbundled cost-based rates for transmission and distribution service and market pricing for the supply of electricity with customer choice of supplier. At a minimum, this legislation allows retail customers to select alternative generation suppliers. Electric restructuring and/or customer choice began on January 1, 2001 in Ohio and on January 1, 2002 in Michigan, Virginia and the ERCOT area of Texas. Electric restructuring in the SPP area of Texas has been delayed by the PUCT until at least 2007. AEP’s public utility subsidiaries operate in both the ERCOT and SPP areas of Texas.

See Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Effects of Regulation, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for a discussion of the effect of restructuring and customer choice legislation on accounting procedures. See Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Customer Choice and Industry Restructuring for additional information.

Ohio Restructuring

The Ohio Act requires vertically integrated electric utility companies that offer competitive retail electric service in Ohio to separate their generating functions from their transmission and distribution functions. Following the market development period (which ended December 31, 2005), retail customers receive distribution and, where applicable, transmission service from the incumbent utility whose distribution rates are approved by the PUCO and whose transmission rates are approved by the FERC. The PUCO approved CSPCo’s and OPCo’s rate stabilization plans that, among other things, addressed default generation service rates from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2008. See Item 1 - Utility Operations - Regulation—FERC for a discussion of FERC regulation of transmission rates, Regulation—Rates—Ohio and Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Rate Matters, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for a discussion of the impact of restructuring on distribution rates. The PUCO authorized CSPCo and OPCo to remain functionally separated through the end of that three-year period. The PUCO’s order has been appealed to the Supreme Court of Ohio by the Ohio Consumers' Counsel.

Texas Restructuring

Signed into law in June of 1999, the Texas Act substantially amended the regulatory structure governing electric utilities in Texas in order to allow retail electric competition for all customers. Among other things, the Texas Act:

· gave Texas customers the opportunity to choose their REP beginning January 1, 2002 (delayed until at least 2007 in the SPP portion of Texas),

· required each utility to legally separate into a REP, a power generation company, and a transmission and distribution utility, and

· required that REPs provide electricity at generally unregulated rates, except that until January 1, 2007 the prices that may be charged to residential and small commercial customers by REPs affiliated with a utility within the affiliated utility’s service area are set by the PUCT, until certain conditions in the Texas Act are met.

The Texas Act provides each affected utility an opportunity to recover its generation related regulatory assets and stranded costs resulting from the legal separation of the transmission and distribution utility from the generation facilities and the related introduction of retail electric competition. Regulatory assets consist of the Texas jurisdictional amount of generation-related regulatory assets and liabilities in the audited financial statements as of December 31, 1998. Stranded costs consist of the positive excess of the net regulated book value of generation assets (as of December 31, 2001) over the market value of those assets, taking specified factors into account, as ultimately determined in a PUCT true-up proceeding.

In May 2005, TCC filed its stranded cost quantification application, or true-up proceeding, with the PUCT seeking recovery of $2.4 billion of net stranded generation costs and other recoverable true-up items. A final order was issued in February 2006. In the final order, the PUCT determined TCC’s net stranded generation costs and other recoverable true-up items to be approximately $1.475 billion. Other parties may appeal the PUCT’s final order as unwarranted or too large; we expect to appeal seeking additional recovery consistent with the Texas Act and related rules. For a discussion of (i) regulatory assets and stranded costs subject to recovery by TCC and (ii) rate adjustments made after implementation of restructuring to allow recovery of certain costs by or with respect to TCC and TNC, see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Customer Choice and Industry Restructuring included in the 2005 Annual Reports.

Michigan Customer Choice

Customer choice commenced for I&M’s Michigan customers on January 1, 2002. Rates for retail electric service for I&M’s Michigan customers were unbundled (though they continue to be regulated) to allow customers the ability to evaluate the cost of generation service for comparison with other suppliers. At December 31, 2005, none of I&M’s Michigan customers have elected to change suppliers and no alternative electric suppliers are registered to compete in I&M’s Michigan service territory.

Virginia Restructuring

In April 2004, the Governor of Virginia signed legislation that extends the transition period for electricity restructuring, including capped rates, through December 31, 2010. The legislation provides specified cost recovery opportunities during the capped rate period, including two optional general base rate changes and an opportunity for timely recovery, through a separate rate mechanism, of certain incremental environmental and reliability costs incurred on and after July 1, 2004.

COMPETITION

The public utility subsidiaries of AEP, like the electric industry generally, face competition in the sale of available power on a wholesale basis, primarily to other public utilities and power marketers. The Energy Policy Act of 1992 was designed, among other things, to foster competition in the wholesale market by creating a generation market with fewer barriers to entry and mandating that all generators have equal access to transmission services. As a result, there are more generators able to participate in this market. The principal factors in competing for wholesale sales are price (including fuel costs), availability of capacity and power and reliability of service.

AEP’s public utility subsidiaries also compete with self-generation and with distributors of other energy sources, such as natural gas, fuel oil and coal, within their service areas. The primary factors in such competition are price, reliability of service and the capability of customers to utilize sources of energy other than electric power. With respect to competing generators and self-generation, the public utility subsidiaries of AEP believe that they generally maintain a favorable competitive position. With respect to alternative sources of energy, the public utility subsidiaries of AEP believe that the reliability of their service and the limited ability of customers to substitute other cost-effective sources for electric power place them in a favorable competitive position, even though their prices may be higher than the costs of some other sources of energy.

Significant changes in the global economy in recent years have led to increased price competition for industrial customers in the United States, including those served by the AEP System. Some of these industrial customers have requested price reductions from their suppliers of electric power. In addition, industrial customers that are downsizing or reorganizing often close a facility based upon its costs, which may include, among other things, the cost of electric power. The public utility subsidiaries of AEP cooperate with such customers to meet their business needs through, for example, providing various off-peak or interruptible supply options pursuant to tariffs filed with the various state commissions. Occasionally, these rates are first negotiated, and then filed with the state commissions. The public utility subsidiaries believe that they are unlikely to be materially adversely affected by this competition.

SEASONALITY

The sale of electric power is generally a seasonal business. In many parts of the country, demand for power peaks during the hot summer months, with market prices also peaking at that time. In other areas, power demand peaks during the winter. The pattern of this fluctuation may change due to the nature and location of AEP’s facilities and the terms of power sale contracts into which AEP enters. In addition, AEP has historically sold less power, and consequently earned less income, when weather conditions are milder. Unusually mild weather in the future could diminish AEP’s results of operations and may impact its financial condition. Conversely, unusually extreme weather conditions could increase AEP’s results of operations.

INVESTMENTS

GAS OPERATIONS

In January 2005, we sold a 98% controlling interest in HPL and related assets with the remaining 2% interest being sold to the buyer in November 2005. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Acquisitions, Dispositions, Discontinued Operations, Impairments, Assets Held for Sale and Other Losses, included in the 2005 Annual Reports for more information. As a result, management anticipates that our gas marketing operations will be limited to managing our obligations with respect to the gas transactions entered into before these sales.

OTHER

General

Through certain subsidiaries, AEP conducts certain business operations other than those included in other segments in which it uses and manages a portfolio of energy-related assets. The assets currently used and managed include:

·   791 MW of domestic power generation facilities (of which AEP ownership is approximately 551 MW);

·   Undeveloped and formerly operated coal properties and related facilities; and

·   Barge, rail and other fuel transportation related assets.

These operations include the following activities:

·   Entering into long-term transactions to buy or sell capacity, energy, and ancillary services of electric generating facilities at various locations in North America;

·   Holding various properties, coal reserves and royalty interests and reclaiming formerly operated mining properties in Colorado, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Ohio, Texas, Utah and West Virginia; and

·   Through AEP MEMCO LLC, transporting coal and dry bulk commodities, primarily on the Ohio, Illinois, and Lower Mississippi rivers for AEP, as well as unaffiliated customers. Through subsidiaries, AEP owns or leases more than 7,000 railcars, 2,300 barges, 53 towboats and a coal handling terminal with 20 million tons of annual capacity.

AEP has in the past three years written down the value of certain of these investments. See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Acquisitions, Dispositions, Discontinued Operations, Impairments, Assets Held for Sale and Other Losses, included in the 2005 Annual Reports.

Dow Chemical Cogeneration Facility

Pursuant to an agreement with Dow, AEP constructed a 880 MW cogeneration facility (“Facility”) at Dow’s chemical facility in Plaquemine, Louisiana that achieved commercial operation status on March 18, 2004. Dow uses a portion of the energy produced by the Facility and sells the excess power to us. We have agreed to sell up to all of the excess 800 MW to Tractebel at a price that is currently in excess of market. Tractebel alleged that the power purchase agreement was unenforceable. This agreement is now being litigated. A bench trial was conducted in March and April 2005. In August 2005, a federal judge ruled that Tractebel had breached the contract and awarded us damages of $123 million plus prejudgment interest. Both parties have filed appeals. In January 2006, the trial court increased AEP’s judgment against Tractebel to $173 million plus prejudgment interest. The power from the Facility is currently sold on the market. See Notes 7 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements, entitled Commitments and Contingencies and Acquisitions, Dispositions, Discontinued Operations, Impairments, Assets Held for Sale and Other Losses, respectively, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for more information.

ITEM 1A.      RISK FACTORS

General Risks of Our Regulated Operations

We may not be able to recover the costs of our substantial planned investment in capital improvements and additions.(Applies to each registrant.)

Our business plan calls for extensive investment in capital improvements and additions, including the installation of environmental upgrades and retrofits, construction and/or acquisition of additional generation units and transmission facilities, modernizing existing infrastructure as well as other initiatives. Our public utility subsidiaries currently provide service at rates approved by one or more regulatory commissions. If these regulatory commissions do not approve adjustments to the rates we charge, we would not be able to recover the costs associated with our planned extensive investment. This would cause our financial results to be diminished. While we may seek to limit the impact of any denied recovery by attempting to reduce the scope of our capital investment, there can no assurance as to the effectiveness of any such mitigation efforts, particularly with respect to previously incurred costs and commitments.

Our planned capital investment program coincides with a material increase in the price of the fuels used to generate electricity. Many of our jurisdictions have fuel clauses that permit us to recover these increased fuel costs through rates without a general rate case. While prudent capital investment and variable fuel costs each generally warrant recovery, in practical terms our regulators could limit the amount or timing of increased costs that we would recover through higher rates. Any such limitation could cause our financial results to be diminished.

Our request for rate recovery of additional costs may not be approved in Virginia.(Applies to AEP and APCo.)

On July 1, 2005, APCo filed a request with the VSCC seeking approval for the recovery of $62 million in incremental costs through June 30, 2006. The $62 million request included incurred and projected costs of environmental controls, transmission costs (including line construction) and other system reliability work. In October 2005, the VSCC ruled that it does not have the authority to approve the recovery of projected costs. In November 2005, APCo filed supplemental testimony in which it updated the actual costs through September 2005 and reduced its requested recovery to $21 million. The staff of the VSCC has made filings to dismiss the transmission system reliability costs from consideration for recovery, arguing that the FERC, and not the VSCC, has jurisdiction over the unbundled transmission component of APCo's retail rates. Through December 31, 2005, APCo has deferred $24 million of recorded costs that are subject to this proceeding (which does not include $4 million of related equity carrying costs). The staff of the VSCC has issued testimony that would reduce APCo’s recovery of current and future costs to $20 million. If the VSCC denies recovery of any of APCo’s deferred costs, it would adversely impact future results of operations and cash flows.

Our request for rate recovery of additional costs may not be approved in West Virginia.(Applies to AEP and APCo.)

In August 2005, APCo and WPCo collectively filed an application (amended in January 2006) with the WVPSC seeking an initial increase in their retail base rates of approximately $73 million. Most of the requested base rate increase is attributable to reactivating the currently suspended ENEC mechanism that provides recovery of power supply costs, including fuel and purchased power, while the rest is primarily related to the recovery of the costs associated with the Ceredo Generating Station and service reliability improvements. The first supplemental increase of $9 million, requested to be effective at the same time as the base rate change, provides for recovery of the capital costs of the Wyoming Jackson's Ferry 765kV line. The remaining proposed supplemental increases are $43 million, $8 million and $36 million, to be effective on January 1, 2007, 2008 and 2009, respectively, provide for recovery of environmental expenditures. APCo has a regulatory liability of $52 million of pre-suspension, previously over-recovered ENEC costs which, along with a carrying cost, it is proposing to apply in the future to any future under-recoveries of ENEC costs through the reactivated ENEC mechanism. The WVPSC has granted a joint motion that requested hearings begin April 17, 2006, that new rates go into effect on July 28, 2006 and that deferral accounting for over- or under-recovery of the ENEC begin July 1, 2006. If the WVPSC denies the requested rate recovery, it could adversely impact future results of operations and cash flows.

Our request for rate recovery of additional costs may not be approved in Kentucky.(Applies to AEP and KPCo.)

In September 2005, KPCo filed a request with the Kentucky Public Service Commission to increase base rates by approximately $65 million to recover increasing costs. The major components of the rate increase included a return on common equity of 11.5% or $26 million, the recovery of transmission costs of $10 million, the recovery of additional capacity costs of $9 million, additional reliability spending of $7 million and increased depreciation expense of $5 million. We have entered into a settlement agreement with intervenors that provides an increase in base rates of approximately $41 million. If the Kentucky Public Service Commission does not approve the settlement or otherwise denies the requested rate recovery, it could adversely impact future results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be able to recover all of our fuel costs in Indiana. (Applies to AEP and I&M.)

In 2003, I&M’s fuel and base rates in Indiana were frozen through a prior agreement. In 2004, the IURC ordered the continuation of the fixed fuel adjustment charge on an interim basis through March 2005, pending the outcome of negotiations. Certain of the parties to the negotiations reached a settlement. The IURC approved the agreement on June 1, 2005. The approved settlement caps fuel rates for the March 2004 through June 2007 billing months at increasing rates during agreed-upon intervals. I&M experienced a cumulative under-recovery of fuel costs for the period March 2004 through December 2005. If future fuel costs through June 30, 2007 continue to exceed the agreed-upon caps, future results of operations and cash flows would be adversely affected.

The rates that SWEPCo may charge its customers may be reduced. (Applies to SWEPCo.)

In October 2005, the staff of the PUCT reported results of its review of SWEPCo’s year-end 2004 earnings. Based upon the staff’s adjustments to the information submitted by SWEPCo, the report indicates that SWEPCo is receiving excess revenues of approximately $15 million. The staff has engaged SWEPCo in discussions to reconcile the earnings calculation and consider possible ways to address the results. Separately, at the time of the CSW merger, SWEPCO agreed to file with the LPSC detailed financial information typically utilized in a revenue requirement filing on a periodic basis in order to demonstrate the lack of adverse impact from the merger. The first such filing was in October 2002 and the second was in April 2004. While both filings indicated that SWEPCo’s rates should not be reduced, direct testimony filed by staff of the LPSC recommends a $15 million reduction in SWEPCo’s Louisiana jurisdictional base rates. SWEPCo has filed rebuttal testimony and additional discovery is planned. In a separate matter, in November 2005 the LPSC included SWEPCo in an inquiry initiated to determine whether utilities had purchased fuel and power at the lowest possible price and whether suppliers offered competitive prices for fuel and purchased power during the period of January 1, 2005 through October 31, 2005. As a result, the LPSC is conducting an audit of SWEPCo’s historical fuel costs for the years 2003 and 2004. At this time, management is unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings. If a rate reduction is ordered in the future, it would adversely impact future results of operations and cash flows.

The amount that PSO seeks to recover for fuel costs is currently being reviewed.(Applies to PSO.)

In 2002, PSO experienced a $44 million under-recovery of fuel costs resulting from a reallocation among AEP’s West zone public utility subsidiaries of purchased power costs for periods prior to January 1, 2002. In July 2003, PSO filed with the OCC offering to collect the under-recovery over 18 months. An intervenor, the staff of the OCC and the Attorney General of Oklahoma have made filings indicating that recovery should be reduced substantially or disallowed altogether. These filings disputed the allocation of AEP System off-system sales margins pursuant to an agreement approved by FERC. In September 2003, the OCC expanded the case to include a full review of PSO’s 2001 fuel and purchased power practices. The allocation issue was referred to an ALJ. The ALJ recommended that the OCC lacks authority to examine whether PSO deviated from the FERC allocation methodology and that any such complaints should be addressed at the FERC. The OCC conducted a hearing on the jurisdictional matter in January 2005 but has not issued a decision. If the OCC determines, as a result of the review, that a portion of PSO’s fuel and purchased power costs should not be recovered, there could be an adverse effect on PSO’s results of operations, cash flows and possibly financial condition.

The internal allocation of AEP System off-system sales margins has been challenged. (Applies to APCo, CSPCo, I&M, KPCo and OPCo.)

Off-system sales margins are allocated among the AEP System companies pursuant to a FERC-approved agreement among those companies entered into at the time of the merger with CSW. In November 2005, we filed with the FERC a proposed allocation methodology to be used in 2006 and beyond. The original allocations have been challenged in different forums, including PSO’s fuel clause recovery proceeding before the OCC. In general, the challenges assert that AEP’s West zone public utility subsidiaries, acquired in the merger with CSW, are being allocated a disproportionately small amount of the off-system sales margins. An ALJ in the OCC proceeding and, separately, a federal district court in Texas have each held that the FERC is the only appropriate adjudicator of such challenges. No proceeding questioning the allocation of our off-system sales is currently before the FERC; the OCC, however, has yet to rule on whether it has jurisdiction over this issue. If the FERC or another entity of competent authority were to retroactively allocate additional off-system sales margins to the West zone public utility subsidiaries, the East zone public utility subsidiaries may be required to pay money to the West zone public utility subsidiaries. Any such payments could have an adverse effect on the results of operations, cash flows and possibly financial condition of the East zone public utility subsidiaries.

The base rates that certain of our utilities charge are currently capped or frozen. (Applies to AEP, CSPCo, I&M and OPCo.)

Base rates charged to customers in Michigan and Ohio are currently either frozen or capped. To the extent our costs in these states exceed the applicable cap or frozen rate, those costs are not recoverable from customers.

Certain of our revenues and results of operations are subject to risks that are beyond our control. (Applies to each registrant.)

Unless mitigated by timely and adequate regulatory recovery, the cost of repairing damage to our utility facilities due to storms, natural disasters, wars, terrorist acts and other catastrophic events, in excess of insurance coverage, when applicable, may adversely impact our revenues, operating and capital expenses and results of operations. Such events may also create additional risks related to the supply and/or cost of equipment and materials.

We are exposed to nuclear generation risk. (Applies to AEP and I&M.)

Through I&M, we own the Cook Plant. It consists of two nuclear generating units for a rated capacity of 2,143 MW, or 6% of our generation capacity. We are, therefore, subject to the risks of nuclear generation, which include the following:

·   the potential harmful effects on the environment and human health resulting from the operation of nuclear facilities and the storage, handling and disposal of radioactive materials such as spent nuclear fuel;

·   limitations on the amounts and types of insurance commercially available to cover losses that might arise in connection with our nuclear operations;

·   uncertainties with respect to contingencies and assessment amounts if insurance coverage is inadequate (federal law requires owners of nuclear units to purchase the maximum available amount of nuclear liability insurance and potentially contribute to the losses of others); and,

·   uncertainties with respect to the technological and financial aspects of decommissioning nuclear plants at the end of their licensed lives.

There can be no assurance that I&M’s preparations or risk mitigation measures will be adequate if and when these risks are triggered.

The NRC has broad authority under federal law to impose licensing and safety-related requirements for the operation of nuclear generation facilities. In the event of non-compliance, the NRC has the authority to impose fines or shut down a unit, or both, depending upon its assessment of the severity of the situation, until compliance is achieved. Revised safety requirements promulgated by the NRC could necessitate substantial capital expenditures at nuclear plants such as ours. In addition, although we have no reason to anticipate a serious nuclear incident at our plants, if an incident did occur, it could harm our results of operations or financial condition. A major incident at a nuclear facility anywhere in the world could cause the NRC to limit or prohibit the operation or licensing of any domestic nuclear unit. Moreover, a major incident at a nuclear facility in the U.S. could require us to make material contributory payments.

The different regional power markets in which we compete or will compete in the future have changing transmission regulatory structures, which could affect our performance in these regions. (Applies to each registrant.)

Our results are likely to be affected by differences in the market and transmission regulatory structures in various regional power markets. Problems or delays that may arise in the operation of new regional transmission organizations, or “RTOs”, may restrict our ability to sell power produced by our generating capacity to certain markets if there is insufficient transmission capacity otherwise available. The rules governing the various regional power markets may also change from time to time which could affect our costs or revenues. Because it remains unclear which companies will be participating in the various regional power markets, or the manner in which RTOs will evolve or the regions they will cover, we are unable to assess fully the impact that these power markets may have on our business.

AEP’s East zone public utility subsidiaries joined PJM on October 1, 2004. SWEPCo and PSO are members of SPP. In February 2004, FERC granted RTO status to SPP, subject to fulfilling specified requirements. In October 2004, the FERC issued an order granting final RTO status to SPP subject to certain filings.

The utility commissions of Louisiana and Arkansas are concerned about the effect on retail ratepayers of utilities in Louisiana and Arkansas joining RTOs. These commissions have ordered the utilities in those states, including us, to analyze and submit to them the costs and benefits of RTO options available to the utilities. Certain states in the region have undertaken and released a study investigating the costs and benefits of SPP developing into a RTO that administers energy and associated markets.

To the extent we are faced with conflicting state and Federal requirements as to our participation in RTOs, it could adversely affect our ability to operate and recover transmission costs from retail customers. Management is unable to predict the outcome of these transmission regulatory actions and proceedings or their impact on the timing and operation of RTOs, our transmission operations or future results of operations and cash flows.

The amount we charge third parties for using our transmission facilities may be reduced and not recovered.(Applies to AEP and AEP’s East zone public utility subsidiaries.)

In July 2003, the FERC issued an order directing PJM and the MISO to make compliance filings for their respective OATTs to eliminate the transaction-based charges for through and out (T&O) transmission service on transactions where the energy is delivered within the proposed MISO and PJM expanded regions (Combined Footprint). The elimination of the T&O rates reduces the transmission service revenues collected by the RTOs and thereby reduces the revenues received by transmission owners under the RTOs’ revenue distribution protocols. To mitigate the impact of lost T&O revenues, the FERC approved temporary replacement seams elimination cost adjustment (SECA) transition rates beginning in December 2004 and extending through March 2006. Intervenors objected to this decision and SECA fees are being collected subject to refund while FERC considers the issue.

SECA transition rates have not fully compensated AEP for lost T&O revenues. AEP’s East zone public utility subsidiaries received approximately $196 million of T&O rate revenues for the twelve months ended September 30, 2004, the last twelve months prior to joining PJM. AEP’s East zone public utility subsidiaries recognized net SECA revenues of $128 million in 2005. SECA transition rates expire at the end of March 2006, after which, all transmission costs that would otherwise have been covered by T&O rates in the Combined Footprint will be subject to recovery from native load customers of AEP’s East zone public utility subsidiaries. A rate request is pending in West Virginia and a settlement agreement is pending in Kentucky that address the reduction in these transmission revenues. In February 2006, CSPCo and OPCo filed with the PUCO to increase their transmission rates to reflect the loss of their share of SECA revenues. At this time, management is unable to predict whether any resultant increase in rates applicable to AEP’s internal load will be recoverable on a timely basis from state retail customers.

In addition to seeking retail rate recovery from the applicable states, AEP and another member of PJM have filed an application with the FERC seeking compensation from other unaffiliated members of PJM for the costs associated with those members’ use of our respective transmission assets. A majority of PJM members have filed in opposition to the proposal. The case is scheduled for hearing in April 2006. AEP management cannot at this time estimate the outcome of the proceeding.

Rate regulation may delay or deny full recovery of costs.(Applies to each registrant.)

Our public utility subsidiaries currently provide service at rates approved by one or more regulatory commissions. These rates are generally regulated based on an analysis of the applicable utility’s expenses incurred in a test year. Thus, the rates a utility is allowed to charge may or may not match its expenses at any given time. Additionally, there may also be a delay between the timing of when these costs are incurred and when these costs are recovered. While rate regulation is premised on providing a reasonable opportunity to earn a reasonable rate of return on invested capital, there can be no assurance that the applicable regulatory commission will judge all of our costs to have been prudently incurred or that the regulatory process in which rates are determined will always result in rates that will produce full recovery of our costs in a timely manner.

We operate in a non-uniform and fluid regulatory environment. (Applies to each registrant.)

In addition to the multiple levels of state regulation at the states in which we operate, our business is subject to extensive federal regulation. There can be no assurance that (1) the federal legislative and regulatory initiatives (which have occurred over the past few years and which have generally facilitated competition in the energy sector) will continue or will not be reversed or (2) state regulation will not become significantly more restrictive. Further alteration of the regulatory landscape in which we operate will impact the effectiveness of our business plan and may, because of the continued uncertainty, harm our financial condition and results of operations.

At times, demand for power could exceed our supply capacity. (Applies to each registrant other than TCC and TNC.)

We are currently obligated to supply power in parts of eleven states. From time to time, because of unforeseen circumstances, the demand for power required to meet these obligations could exceed our available generation capacity. If this occurs, we would have to buy power from the market. We may not always have the ability to pass these costs on to our customers because some of the states we operate in do not allow us to increase our rates in response to increased fuel cost charges. Since these situations most often occur during periods of peak demand, it is possible that the market price for power at that time would be very high. Even if a supply shortage were brief, we could suffer substantial losses that could reduce our results of operations.

Risks Related to Market, Economic or Financial Volatility

Downgrades in our credit ratings could negatively affect our ability to access capital and/or to operate our power trading businesses. (Applies to each registrant other than AEGCo.)

Following the bankruptcy of Enron, the credit ratings agencies initiated a thorough review of the capital structure and the quality and stability of earnings of energy companies, including us. The agencies revised ratings at that time. Further negative ratings actions could constrain the capital available to our industry and could limit our access to funding for our operations. Our business is capital intensive, and we are dependent upon our ability to access capital at rates and on terms we determine to be attractive. If our ability to access capital becomes significantly constrained, our interest costs will likely increase and our financial condition could be harmed and future results of operations could be adversely affected.

If Moody’s or S&P were to downgrade the long-term rating of any of the registrants, particularly below investment grade, the borrowing costs of that registrant would increase, which would diminish its financial results. In addition, the registrant’s potential pool of investors and funding sources could decrease.

Our power trading business relies on the investment grade ratings of our individual public utility subsidiaries’ senior unsecured long-term debt. Most of our counterparties require the creditworthiness of an investment grade entity to stand behind transactions. If those ratings were to decline below investment grade, our ability to operate our power trading business profitably would be diminished because we would likely have to deposit cash or cash-related instruments which would reduce our profits.

AEP has no income or cash flow apart from dividends paid or other obligations due it from its subsidiaries. (Applies to AEP.)

AEP is a holding company and has no operations of its own. Its ability to meet its financial obligations associated with its indebtedness and to pay dividends on its common stock is primarily dependent on the earnings and cash flows of its operating subsidiaries, primarily its regulated utilities, and the ability of its subsidiaries to pay dividends to, or repay loans from, AEP. Its subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities that have no obligation (apart from loans from AEP) to provide AEP with funds for its payment obligations, whether by dividends, distributions or other payments. Payments to AEP by its subsidiaries are also contingent upon their earnings and business considerations. In addition, any payment of dividends, distributions or advances by the utility subsidiaries to AEP would be subject to regulatory or contractual restrictions.

Our operating results may fluctuate on a seasonal and quarterly basis. (Applies to each registrant.)

Electric power generation is generally a seasonal business. In many parts of the country, demand for power peaks during the hot summer months, with market prices also peaking at that time. In other areas, power demand peaks during the winter. As a result, our overall operating results in the future may fluctuate substantially on a seasonal basis. The pattern of this fluctuation may change depending on the terms of power sale contracts that we enter into. In addition, we have historically sold less power, and consequently earned less income, when weather conditions are milder. We expect that unusually mild weather in the future could diminish our results of operations and harm our financial condition. Conversely, unusually extreme weather conditions could increase AEP’s results of operations in a manner that would not likely be sustainable.

Parties we have engaged to provide construction materials or services may fail to perform their obligations, which could harm our results of operations. (Applies to each registrant.)

Our business plan calls for extensive investment in capital improvements and additions, including the installation of environmental upgrades, construction of additional generation units and transmission facilities as well as other initiatives. As a result, we have engaged numerous contractors and entered into a large number of agreements to acquire the necessary materials and/or obtain the required construction related services. We are therefore exposed to the risk that these contractors and other counterparties could breach their obligations to us. Should the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, we may be forced to enter into alternative arrangements at then-current market prices that may exceed our contractual prices and almost certainly cause delays in that and related projects. Although our agreements are designed to mitigate the consequences of a potential default by the counterparty, our actual exposure may be greater than these mitigation provisions. This would cause our financial results to be diminished, and we might incur losses or delays in completing construction.

Changes in commodity prices may increase our cost of producing power or decrease the amount we receive from selling power, harming our financial performance. (Applies to each registrant.)

We are heavily exposed to changes in the price and availability of coal because most of our generating capacity is coal-fired. We have contracts of varying durations for the supply of coal for most of our existing generation capacity, but as these contracts end or otherwise not honored, we may not be able to purchase coal on terms as favorable as the current contracts. Similarly, we are heavily exposed to changes in the price and availability of emission allowances. We use emission allowances in direct proportion with the amount of coal we use as fuel. According to our estimates we have procured sufficient emission allowances to cover our projected needs for the next two years and for much of the projected needs for periods beyond that. At some point, however, we will have to obtain additional allowances and those purchases may not be on as favorable terms as those currently obtained.

We also own natural gas-fired facilities, which increases our exposure to the more volatile market prices of natural gas.

The price trends for coal, natural gas and emission allowances have shown material increases that are expected to continue. Changes in the cost of coal, emission allowances or natural gas and changes in the relationship between such costs and the market prices of power will affect our financial results. Since the prices we obtain for power may not change at the same rate as the change in coal, emission allowances or natural gas costs, we may be unable to pass on the changes in costs to our customers. In addition, the prices we can charge our retail customers in some jurisdictions are capped and our fuel recovery mechanisms in other states are frozen for various periods of time.

In addition, actual power prices and fuel costs will differ from those assumed in financial projections used to value our trading and marketing transactions, and those differences may be material. As a result, our financial results may be diminished in the future as those transactions are marked to market.

In certain jurisdictions, we have limited ability to pass on our fuel costs to our customers. (Applies to AEP, APCo, CSPCo, I&M and OPCo.)

We are exposed to risk from changes in the market prices of coal, natural gas, and emissions used to generate power where generation is no longer regulated or where existing fuel clauses are suspended or frozen. The prices of coal, natural gas and emissions have increased materially over the past several years, and that trend is expected to continue. The protection afforded by retail fuel clause recovery mechanisms has been eliminated by the implementation of customer choice in Ohio. Because the risk of generating costs cannot be passed through to customers as a matter of right in Ohio, we retain these risks.

We have applied to reactivate the mechanism that provides recovery of power supply costs, including fuel, in West Virginia; the mechanism was suspended by a settlement reached in a state restructuring proceeding. The WVPSC has approved commencement of deferral accounting related to power supply costs, including fuel, effective July 1, 2006. A recently negotiated fuel cap in Indiana may not allow us to fully recover our fuel costs there. If we cannot recover an amount sufficient to cover our actual fuel costs, our results of operations and cash flows would be adversely affected.

We are exposed to losses resulting from the bankruptcy of Enron Corp. (Applies to AEP.)

On June 1, 2001, we purchased Houston Pipe Line Company (“HPL”) from Enron Corp. (“Enron”). Later that year, Enron and its subsidiaries filed bankruptcy proceedings in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Various HPL related contingencies and indemnities from Enron remained unsettled at the date of Enron’s bankruptcy. In connection with the 2001 acquisition of HPL, we entered into an agreement with BAM Lease Company, which granted HPL the exclusive right to use approximately 65 BCF of cushion gas required for the normal operation of the Bammel gas storage facility. At the time of our acquisition of HPL, Bank of America (“BOA”) and certain other banks (together with BOA, “BOA Syndicate”) and Enron entered into an agreement granting HPL the exclusive use of 65 BCF of cushion gas. Additionally, Enron and the BOA Syndicate released HPL from all prior and future liabilities and obligations in connection with the financing arrangement. After the Enron bankruptcy, HPL was informed by the BOA Syndicate of a purported default by Enron under the terms of the financing arrangement. We are currently litigating the rights to the cushion gas.

In February 2004, in connection with BOA’s dispute, Enron filed Notices of Rejection regarding the cushion gas use agreement and other incidental agreements. We have objected to Enron’s attempted rejection of these agreements. In 2005 we sold HPL, including the Bammel gas storage facility. We indemnified the purchaser for damages, if any, arising from the litigation with BOA. Management is unable to predict the final resolution of these disputes, however the impact on results of operations, cash flows and financial condition could be material.

Risks Relating To State Restructuring

We may be required to serve former large industrial or commercial customers in Ohio at rates that are below market. (Applies to AEP, CSPCo and OPCo.)

Large industrial or commercial customers in Ohio who switched from us to alternative suppliers when customer choice became effective may successfully petition the PUCO to require us to provide service to them at prices that may be below market or that do not allow us to recover our costs. This may increase demand above our facilities’ available capacity or limit our ability to earn a return on the sale of power. Thus, any such switching by customers could have an adverse effect on our results of operations and financial position. Additionally, to the extent the power sold to meet the default service obligations could have been sold to third parties at more favorable wholesale prices, we will have incurred potentially significant lost opportunity costs.

Some laws and regulations governing restructuring in Virginia have not yet been interpreted or adopted and could harm our business, operating results and financial condition. (Applies to AEP and APCo.)

Virginia restructuring legislation was enacted in 1999 providing for retail choice of generation suppliers to be phased in over two years beginning January 1, 2002. It required jurisdictional utilities to unbundle their power supply and energy delivery rates and to file functional separation plans by January 1, 2002. APCo filed its plan with the VSCC and, following VSCC approval of a settlement agreement, now operates in Virginia as a functionally separated electric utility charging unbundled rates for its retail sales of electricity. The settlement agreement addressed functional separation, leaving decisions related to legal separation for later VSCC consideration. While the electric restructuring law in Virginia established the general framework governing the retail electric market, it required the VSCC to issue rules and determinations implementing the law. Some of the regulations governing the retail electric market have not yet been adopted by the VSCC. When the regulations are developed and adopted, compliance with them may harm our business, results of operations and financial condition.

There is uncertainty as to our recovery of stranded costs resulting from industry restructuring in Texas. (Applies to AEP and TCC.)

Restructuring legislation in Texas required utilities with stranded costs to use market-based methods to value certain generating assets for determining stranded costs. We elected to use the sale of assets method to determine the market value of the generation assets of TCC for stranded cost purposes. In general terms, the amount of stranded costs under this market valuation methodology is the amount by which the book value of generating assets, including regulatory assets and liabilities that were not securitized, exceeds the market value of the generation assets, as measured by the net proceeds from the sale of the assets. In May 2005, TCC filed its stranded cost quantification application with the PUCT seeking recovery of $2.4 billion of net stranded generation costs and other recoverable true-up items. A final order was issued in February 2006. In the final order, the PUCT determined TCC’s net stranded generation costs and other recoverable true-up items to be approximately $1.475 billion. Other parties may appeal the PUCT’s final order as unwarranted or too large; we expect to appeal seeking additional recovery consistent with the Texas Act and related rules. If, after appeal, the amount of recovery is reduced or we are otherwise unable to recover all or part of the net stranded generation costs and other recoverable true-up items, it could have a material adverse effect on results of operations, cash flows and possibly financial condition.

Collection of our revenues in Texas is concentrated in a limited number of REPs.(Applies to AEP, TCC and TNC.)

Our revenues from the distribution of electricity in the ERCOT area of Texas are collected from REPs that supply the electricity we distribute to their customers. Currently, we do business with approximately sixty REPs. Adverse economic conditions, structural problems in the new Texas market or financial difficulties of one or more REPs could impair the ability of these REPs to pay for our services or could cause them to delay such payments. We depend on these REPs for timely remittance of payments. Any delay or default in payment could adversely affect the timing and receipt of our cash flows and thereby have an adverse effect on our liquidity.

Risks Related to Owning and Operating Generation Assets and Selling Power

Our costs of compliance with environmental laws are significant, and the cost of compliance with future environmental laws could harm our cash flow and profitability. (Applies to each registrant other than TCC.)

Our operations are subject to extensive federal, state and local environmental statutes, rules and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, waste management, natural resources and health and safety. Compliance with these legal requirements requires us to commit significant capital toward environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment, emission fees and permits at all of our facilities. These expenditures have been significant in the past, and we expect that they will increase in the future. Costs of compliance with environmental regulations could adversely affect our results of operations and financial position, especially if emission and/or discharge limits are tightened, more extensive permitting requirements are imposed, additional substances become regulated and the number and types of assets we operate increase. All of our estimates are subject to significant uncertainties about the outcome of several interrelated assumptions and variables, including timing of implementation, required levels of reductions, allocation requirements of the new rules, and our selected compliance alternatives. As a result, we cannot estimate our compliance costs with certainty. The actual costs to comply could differ significantly from the estimates. All of the costs are incremental to our current investment base and operating cost structure.

Governmental authorities may assess penalties on us if it is determined that we have not complied with environmental laws and regulations.(Applies to each registrant other than TCC.)

If we fail to comply with environmental laws and regulations, even if caused by factors beyond our control, that failure may result in the assessment of civil or criminal penalties and fines against us. Recent lawsuits by the EPA and various states filed against us highlight the environmental risks faced by generating facilities, in general, and coal-fired generating facilities, in particular.

Since 1999, we have been involved in litigation regarding generating plant emissions under the Clean Air Act. EPA and a number of states alleged that we and other unaffiliated utilities modified certain units at coal-fired generating plants in violation of the Clean Air Act. EPA filed complaints against certain AEP subsidiaries in U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. A separate lawsuit initiated by certain special interest groups was consolidated with the EPA case. The alleged modification of the generating units occurred over a 20-year period. A bench trial on the liability issues was held during July 2005. Briefing has concluded, but no decision has been issued. Additionally, in July 2004 attorneys general of eight states and others sued AEP and other utilities alleging that carbon dioxide emissions from power generating facilities constitute a public nuisance under federal common law. The suits were dismissed by the trial court and plaintiffs have appealed the dismissal. While we believe the claims are without merit, the costs associated with reducing carbon dioxide emissions could harm our business and our results of operations and financial position.

If these or other future actions are resolved against us, substantial modifications of our existing coal-fired power plants could be required. In addition, we could be required to invest significantly in additional emission control equipment, accelerate the timing of capital expenditures, pay penalties and/or halt operations. Moreover, our results of operations and financial position could be reduced due to the timing of recovery of these investments and the expense of ongoing litigation.

Our revenues and results of operations from selling power are subject to market risks that are beyond our control. (Applies to each registrant other than TCC.)

We sell power from our generation facilities into the spot market or other competitive power markets or on a contractual basis. We also enter into contracts to purchase and sell electricity, natural gas, emission allowances and coal as part of our power marketing and energy trading operations. With respect to such transactions, we are generally not guaranteed any rate of return on our capital investments through mandated rates, and our revenues and results of operations are likely to depend, in large part, upon prevailing market prices for power in our regional markets and other competitive markets. These market prices may fluctuate substantially over relatively short periods of time. Trading margins may erode as markets mature and there may be diminished opportunities for gain should volatility decline. In addition, FERC, which has jurisdiction over wholesale power rates, as well as RTOs that oversee some of these markets, may impose price limitations, bidding rules and other mechanisms to address some of the volatility in these markets. Fuel and emissions prices may also be volatile, and the price we can obtain for power sales may not change at the same rate as changes in fuel and/or emissions costs. These factors could reduce our margins and therefore diminish our revenues and results of operations.

Volatility in market prices for fuel and power may result from:

·   weather conditions;

·   seasonality;

·   power usage;

·   illiquid markets;

·   transmission or transportation constraints or inefficiencies;

·   availability of competitively priced alternative energy sources;

·   demand for energy commodities;

·   natural gas, crude oil and refined products, and coal production levels;

·   natural disasters, wars, embargoes and other catastrophic events; and

·   federal, state and foreign energy and environmental regulation and legislation.

Our power trading (including coal, gas and emission allowances trading and power marketing) and risk management policies cannot eliminate the risk associated with these activities. (Applies to each registrant other than TCC.)

Our power trading (including coal, gas and emission allowances trading and power marketing) activities expose us to risks of commodity price movements. We attempt to manage our exposure by establishing and enforcing of risk limits and risk management procedures. These risk limits and risk management procedures may not work as planned and cannot eliminate the risks associated with these activities. As a result, we cannot predict the impact that our energy trading and risk management decisions may have on our business, operating results or financial position.

We routinely have open trading positions in the market, within guidelines we set, resulting from the management of our trading portfolio. To the extent open trading positions exist, fluctuating commodity prices can improve or diminish our financial results and financial position.

Our power trading and risk management activities, including our power sales agreements with counterparties, rely on projections that depend heavily on judgments and assumptions by management of factors such as the future market prices and demand for power and other energy-related commodities. These factors become more difficult to predict and the calculations become less reliable the further into the future these estimates are made. Even when our policies and procedures are followed and decisions are made based on these estimates, results of operations may be diminished if the judgments and assumptions underlying those calculations prove to be inaccurate.

Our financial performance may be adversely affected if we are unable to operate our pooled electric generating facilities successfully. (Applies to each registrant other than TCC.)

Our performance is highly dependent on the successful operation of our electric generating facilities. Operating electric generating facilities involves many risks, including:

·   operator error and breakdown or failure of equipment or processes;

·   operating limitations that may be imposed by environmental or other regulatory requirements;

·   labor disputes;

·   fuel supply interruptions caused by transportation constraints, adverse weather, non-performance by our suppliers and other factors; and

·   catastrophic events such as fires, earthquakes, explosions, hurricanes, terrorism, floods or other similar occurrences.

A decrease or elimination of revenues from power produced by our electric generating facilities or an increase in the cost of operating the facilities would adversely affect our results of operations.

Parties with whom we have contracts may fail to perform their obligations, which could harm our results of operations. (Applies to each registrant.)

We are exposed to the risk that counterparties that owe us money or power could breach their obligations. Should the counterparties to these arrangements fail to perform, we may be forced to enter into alternative hedging arrangements or honor underlying commitments at then-current market prices that may exceed our contractual prices, which would cause our financial results to be diminished and we might incur losses. Although our estimates take into account the expected probability of default by a counterparty, our actual exposure to a default by a counterparty may be greater than the estimates predict.

We are contractually required to operate a power generation facility that may indirectly force us to sell the facility’s excess energy at a loss. (Applies to AEP.)

We have agreed to lease from Juniper Capital L.P. a non-regulated merchant power generation facility (“Facility”) near Plaquemine, Louisiana. We sublease the Facility to Dow. We operate the Facility for Dow. Dow uses a portion of the energy produced by the Facility and sells the excess power to us. We have agreed to sell up to all of the excess 800 MW to Tractebel at a price that is currently in excess of market. Tractebel alleged that the power purchase agreement was unenforceable. This agreement is now being litigated. A bench trial was conducted in March and April 2005. In August 2005, a federal judge ruled that Tractebel had breached the contract and awarded us damages of $123 million plus prejudgment interest. Both parties have filed appeals. In January 2006, the trial court increased AEP’s judgment against Tractebel to $173 million plus prejudgment interest. If the trial award is reversed or if Tractebel does not pay the judgment, our cash flow will be adversely affected. If the power agreement is held to be unenforceable, we will be required to find new purchasers for up to 800 MW. There can be no assurance that the power produced will be sold at prices that will exceed our costs to produce it. If that were the case, as a result of our obligations to Dow, we would be required to operate the Facility at a loss.

We rely on electric transmission facilities that we do not own or control. If these facilities do not provide us with adequate transmission capacity, we may not be able to deliver our wholesale electric power to the purchasers of our power. (Applies to each registrant other than TCC.)

We depend on transmission facilities owned and operated by other unaffiliated power companies to deliver the power we sell at wholesale. This dependence exposes us to a variety of risks. If transmission is disrupted, or transmission capacity is inadequate, we may not be able to sell and deliver our wholesale power. If a region’s power transmission infrastructure is inadequate, our recovery of wholesale costs and profits may be limited. If restrictive transmission price regulation is imposed, the transmission companies may not have sufficient incentive to invest in expansion of transmission infrastructure.

The FERC has issued electric transmission initiatives that require electric transmission services to be offered unbundled from commodity sales. Although these initiatives are designed to encourage wholesale market transactions for electricity and gas, access to transmission systems may in fact not be available if transmission capacity is insufficient because of physical constraints or because it is contractually unavailable. We also cannot predict whether transmission facilities will be expanded in specific markets to accommodate competitive access to those markets.

We do not fully hedge against price changes in commodities. (Applies to each registrant other than TCC.)

We routinely enter into contracts to purchase and sell electricity, natural gas, coal and emission allowances as part of our power marketing and energy and emission allowances trading operations. In connection with these trading activities, we routinely enter into financial contracts, including futures and options, over-the counter options, financially-settled swaps and other derivative contracts. These activities expose us to risks from price movements. If the values of the financial contracts change in a manner we do not anticipate, it could harm our financial position or reduce the financial contribution of our trading operations.

We manage our exposure by establishing risk limits and entering into contracts to offset some of our positions (i.e., to hedge our exposure to demand, market effects of weather and other changes in commodity prices). However, we do not always hedge the entire exposure of our operations from commodity price volatility. To the extent we do not hedge against commodity price volatility, our results of operations and financial position may be improved or diminished based upon our success in the market.

See Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Acquisitions, Dispositions, Discontinued Operations, Impairments, Assets Held for Sale and Other Losses, included in the 2005 Annual Reports, for a discussion of AEP’s disposition of independent power producer and foreign generation assets.

COOK NUCLEAR PLANT

The following table provides operating information relating to the Cook Plant.

	Cook Plant
	Unit 1	Unit 2
Year Placed in Operation	1975	1978
Year of Expiration of NRC License (a)	2034	2037
Nominal Net Electrical Rating in Kilowatts	1,036,000	1,107,000
Net Capacity Factors (b)
2005	88.8%	97.1%
2004	97.0%	81.6%
2003 (c)	73.5%	74.5%
2002	86.6%	80.5%

(a) Cook Nuclear Plant received Nuclear Regulatory Commission approval on August 30, 2005 to extend the Operating License 20 years for both Unit 1 and Unit 2.

(b) Net Capacity Factor values since 2004 reflect Nominal Net Electrical Rating in Kilowatts of 1,036,000 (Unit 1) and 1,107,000 (Unit 2). Net Capacity Factor values for 2003 and earlier, however, reflect previous Nominal Net Electrical Rating in Kilowatts of 1,020,000 (Unit 1) and 1,090,000 (Unit 2).

(c) The capacity factors for both units of the Cook Plant were reduced in 2003 due to an unplanned maintenance outage to implement upgrades to the traveling water screens system following a fish intrusion.

Costs associated with the operation (excluding fuel), maintenance and retirement of nuclear plants continue to be more significant and less predictable than costs associated with other sources of generation, in large part due to changing regulatory requirements and safety standards, availability of nuclear waste disposal facilities and experience gained in the operation of nuclear facilities. I&M may also incur costs and experience reduced output at Cook Plant, because of the design criteria prevailing at the time of construction and the age of the plant’s systems and equipment. Nuclear industry-wide and Cook Plant initiatives have contributed to slowing the growth of operating and maintenance costs at these plants. However, the ability of I&M to obtain adequate and timely recovery of costs associated with the Cook Plant is not assured. Such costs may include replacement power, any unamortized investment at the end of the useful life of the Cook Plant (whether scheduled or premature), the carrying costs of that investment and retirement costs.

TRANSMISSION AND DISTRIBUTION FACILITIES

The following table sets forth the total overhead circuit miles of transmission and distribution lines of the AEP System and its operating companies and that portion of the total representing 765kV lines:

	Total Overhead Circuit Miles of Transmission and Distribution Lines		Circuit Miles of 765kV Lines
AEP System (a)	219,114	(b)	2,026
APCo	51,337		644
CSPCo (a)	14,059		—
I&M	21,989		615
Kingsport Power Company	1,349		—
KPCo	10,857		258
OPCo	30,684		509
PSO	21,145		—
SWEPCo	20,552		—
TCC	29,405		—
TNC	16,039		—
WPCo	1,697		—

(a) Includes 766 miles of 345kV jointly owned lines.

(b) Includes 73 miles of overhead transmission lines not identified with an operating company.

TITLES

The AEP System’s generating facilities are generally located on lands owned in fee simple. The greater portion of the transmission and distribution lines of the System has been constructed over lands of private owners pursuant to easements or along public highways and streets pursuant to appropriate statutory authority. The rights of AEP’s public utility subsidiaries in the realty on which their facilities are located are considered adequate for use in the conduct of their business. Minor defects and irregularities customarily found in title to properties of like size and character may exist, but such defects and irregularities do not materially impair the use of the properties affected thereby. AEP’s public utility subsidiaries generally have the right of eminent domain which permits them, if necessary, to acquire, perfect or secure titles to or easements on privately held lands used or to be used in their utility operations. Recent legislation in Ohio and Virginia has restricted the right of eminent domain previously granted for power generation purposes.

Substantially all the fixed physical properties and franchises of APCo and SWEPCo, except for limited exceptions, are subject to the lien of the mortgage and deed of trust securing the first mortgage bonds of each such company.

SYSTEM TRANSMISSION LINES AND FACILITY SITING

Laws in the states of Arkansas, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia, and West Virginia require prior approval of sites of generating facilities and/or routes of high-voltage transmission lines. We have experienced delays and additional costs in constructing facilities as a result of proceedings conducted pursuant to such statutes, and in proceedings in which our operating companies have sought to acquire rights-of-way through condemnation. These proceedings may result in additional delays and costs in future years.

CONSTRUCTION PROGRAM

GENERAL

With input from its state utility commissions, the AEP System continuously assesses the adequacy of its generation, transmission, distribution and other facilities to plan and provide for the reliable supply of electric power and energy to its customers. In this assessment process, assumptions are continually being reviewed as new information becomes available, and assessments and plans are modified, as appropriate. AEP forecasts $3.7 billion, $3.6 billion and $3.5 billion of construction expenditures for 2006, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Estimated construction 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, and the ability to access capital.

PROPOSED TRANSMISSION FACILITIES

AEP has filed a proposal with the FERC and the PJM to build a new 765kV transmission line stretching from West Virginia to New Jersey. The proposed transmission corridor will span approximately 550 miles and is designed to reduce PJM congestion costs through enhancing transfer capability and also to reduce transmission line losses. It also is expected to improve reliability in the eastern transmission grid. AEP´s proposed transmission line, called the AEP Interstate Project, would originate at AEP´s Amos transmission station in Putnam County, WV, connect through Doubs Station in Frederick County, MD and terminate at the Deans Station in Middlesex County, NJ. The proposed route follows a corridor conceptually identified by PJM as a transmission route needed to address transmission congestion within the PJM footprint. Exact routing of the line would be determined after PJM approves the project. AEP will work with PJM, other affected transmission owners and stakeholders throughout the siting process. AEP also has filed with the DOE in its efforts to designate National Interest Electric Transmission Corridors (NIETC). EPACT provides for NIETC designation for areas that are experiencing electric energy transmission capacity constraints or congestion that adversely affects consumers. It is expected that a new AEP subsidiary, AEP Transmission Co., LLC, will own the line and undertake construction of the project. The projected costs are approximately $3 billion, which may be shared with other stakeholders. The anticipated in-service date is 2014 assuming three years to site and acquire rights-of-way and five years to build the line.

APCo is continuing construction of the Jacksons Ferry-Wyoming 765kV transmission line. The WVPSC and the VSCC have issued certificates authorizing construction and operation of the line. On December 31, 2002, the U.S. Forest Service issued a final environmental impact statement and record of decision to allow the use of federal lands in the Jefferson National Forest for construction of a portion of the line. On May 11, 2004, the decision of the Forest Service was challenged by the Sierra Club in the United States District Court for the Western District of Virginia. APCo has intervened in that litigation. Construction of the line is underway and the project is scheduled to be completed by June 2006.

PROPOSED GENERATION FACILITIES

In conjunction with an environmental impact study issued in August 2004, we announced plans to construct a synthetic-gas-fired plant or plants of approximately 1,000 MW of capacity in the next five to six years utilizing integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) technology. We estimate that this new plant or plants will cost up to approximately $1.2 billion of direct costs for a nominal 600 MW facility. We are currently performing site analysis and evaluation and at the same time working with state regulators and legislators to establish a framework for expedient recovery of this significant investment in new clean coal technology before final site selection.

The plans are contingent upon receiving adequate cost recovery through rates approved by the applicable commission prior to beginning construction. We have filed an application in West Virginia seeking a certificate of public convenience and necessity to construct an IGCC plant in New Haven, West Virginia. In Ohio we filed an application with the PUCO requesting the approval of a mechanism by which costs associated with constructing and operating an IGCC throughout the life of the facility can be recovered in rates authorized by the PUCO. We have also entered into an agreement with General Electric Company and Bechtel Power Corporation pursuant to which they are providing front-end engineering and design for a nominal 600 MW IGCC facility.

Our significant planned environmental investments in emission control installations at existing coal-fired plants and our commitment to IGCC technology reinforce our belief that coal will be a lower-emission domestic energy source of the future and further signals our commitment to investing in clean, environmentally safe technology. For additional information regarding anticipated environmental expenditures, see Management’s Financial Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations under the heading entitled Environmental Matters.

In the fourth quarter of 2005, PSO and SWEPCO each issued Requests for Proposals (RFPs) soliciting capacity and energy resource proposals to satisfy their customers’ future electric power requirements. SWEPCO is seeking up to 500 MW of short-term peaking capacity and up to 1,600 MW of long-term generating resources comprised of peaking, intermediate and baseload generation by 2011. PSO is seeking 300 MW of short-term peaking resources by June 2008 and 600 of baseload generation by June 2011. In December 2005, PSO received four proposals totaling more than 1,100 MW, although one proposal was rejected for not conforming to bidding requirements. The remaining proposals, which are self-build options, continue to be evaluated. SWEPCO and PSO anticipate submitting self-build proposals in their respective RFPs processes. PSO received proposals in its base load RFP on February 16, 2006, totaling 3,500 MW, including three self-build proposals and three non-affiliate proposals. The RFPs are currently being evaluated.

CONSTRUCTION EXPENDITURES

(a)   Includes expenditures of other subsidiaries not shown.  The figures reflect construction expenditures, not investments in subsidiary companies.

The System construction program is reviewed continuously and is revised from time to time in response to changes in estimates of customer demand, business and economic conditions, the cost and availability of capital, environmental requirements and other factors. Changes in construction schedules and costs, and in estimates and projections of needs for additional facilities, as well as variations from currently anticipated levels of net earnings, Federal income and other taxes, and other factors affecting cash requirements, may increase or decrease the estimated capital requirements for the System’s construction program.

POTENTIAL UNINSURED LOSSES

Some potential losses or liabilities may not be insurable or the amount of insurance carried may not be sufficient to meet potential losses and liabilities, including liabilities relating to damage to the Cook Plant and costs of replacement power in the event of a nuclear incident at the Cook Plant. Unless allowed to be recovered through rates, future losses or liabilities which are not completely insured could have a material adverse effect on results of operations and the financial condition of AEP, I&M and other AEP System companies. See Note 7 to the consolidated financial statements entitled Commitments and Contingencies for information with respect to nuclear incident liability insurance.
