AEP & their ongoing fuckery about power outages. [View all]



4.4 minute audio.


from the article in the tweet
snip-"AEP Ohio is asking state regulators to lower their standards to allow for longer and more frequent power outage interruptions."

snip-"Every year Ohio’s electric users pay millions of dollars to utility companies in excess of the electricity they use to pay for infrastructure maintenance and improvements. For companies like AEP Ohio, that can add up to billions of dollars over the course of a decade or so to bolster the system.

Consumer advocates said that ought to translate into more stable electric service as time goes on, with shorter and less frequent outages."

Much more at the article.

While I sweated, a lot, in the June power outage, I was l lucky & did not lose food, just a few pounds sweating.


AEP sucks, IMO.
