AEP Transmission Joint Venture Begins Construction On Kansas Transmission Project


COLUMBUS, Ohio, Aug. 1, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Prairie Wind Transmission, a transmission joint venture that includes American Electric Power (NYSE: AEP), MidAmerican Energy Holdings Company (through the companies' Electric Transmission America joint venture) and Westar Energy Inc. (NYSE: WR), today began construction of 108 miles of new double-circuit, 345-kilovolt transmission lines in south-central Kansas.

The $180 million Prairie Wind Transmission project will stretch from Colwich, Kan., southwest to a new substation at Medicine Lodge, Kan., and then south to Hardtner, Kan., at the Kansas-Oklahoma border. Completion is expected in late 2014. When complete, the project will be the first high-voltage transmission line linking east and west Kansas and will significantly reduce transmission congestion, improve reliability and support the growth of wind energy in the state and region.

"We're thrilled to begin moving dirt on a high-voltage transmission project that will provide significant benefits for the transmission system not only in Kansas, but also provide regional benefits for the Southwest Power Pool. Our nation needs new transmission infrastructure investment to ensure that we continue to have a reliable grid to support both changes in how we generate electricity and future economic growth. Transmission investment also can support job growth throughout our economy," said Nicholas K. Akins, AEP president and chief executive officer.

"AEP's refocused transmission strategy, which includes both near-term transmission projects to enhance and improve local reliability within our traditional service area and longer-term joint venture projects in other regions, is yielding results. We have transmission companies approved in Michigan, Ohio, Oklahoma and Virginia and are working through pending approvals in Arkansas, Kentucky, Louisiana and West Virginia. Our Electric Transmission Texas joint venture with MidAmerican has 55 projects under construction in the Electric Reliability Council of Texas, with a pipeline of projects totaling more than $2 billion by 2014," Akins said.

AEP has projected $466 million in transmission capital investment in 2012 through its transmission companies and joint ventures and an $0.08 per share contribution to 2012 earnings from its transmission operations.

The Kansas Corporation Commission approved the transmission route for the Prairie Wind Transmission project in June 2011. The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission unanimously approved Prairie Wind Transmission's request for key rate components for the project in December 2008 including a 12.8 percent return on equity.

More information about Prairie Wind Transmission is available at http://www.prairiewindtransmission.com/.

American Electric Power is one of the largest electric utilities in the United States, delivering electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states. AEP ranks among the nation's largest generators of electricity, owning nearly 38,000 megawatts of generating capacity in the U.S. AEP also owns the nation's largest electricity transmission system, a nearly 39,000-mile network that includes more 765-kilovolt extra-high voltage transmission lines than all other U.S. transmission systems combined. AEP's transmission system directly or indirectly serves about 10 percent of the electricity demand in the Eastern Interconnection, the interconnected transmission system that covers 38 eastern and central U.S. states and eastern Canada, and approximately 11 percent of the electricity demand in ERCOT, the transmission system that covers much of Texas. AEP's utility units operate as AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power (in Virginia and West Virginia), AEP Appalachian Power (in Tennessee), Indiana Michigan Power, Kentucky Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and Southwestern Electric Power Company (in Arkansas, Louisiana and east and north Texas). AEP's headquarters are in Columbus, Ohio. News releases and other information about AEP can be found at www.aep.com.

This report made by American Electric Power and its Registrant Subsidiaries contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements are: the economic climate and growth in, or contraction within, AEP's service territory and changes in market demand and demographic patterns; inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends; volatility in the financial markets, particularly developments affecting the availability of capital on reasonable terms and developments impairing AEP's ability to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt at attractive rates; the availability and cost of funds to finance working capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material; electric load, customer growth and the impact of retail competition, particularly in Ohio due to the February 2012 Public Utilities Commission of Ohio rehearing order; weather conditions, including storms, and AEP's ability to recover significant storm restoration costs through applicable rate mechanisms; available sources and costs of, and transportation for, fuels and the creditworthiness and performance of fuel suppliers and transporters; availability of necessary generating capacity and the performance of AEP's generating plants; AEP's ability to resolve I&M's Donald C. Cook Nuclear Plant Unit 1 restoration and outage-related issues through warranty, insurance and the regulatory process; AEP's ability to recover regulatory assets and stranded costs in connection with deregulation; AEP's ability to recover increases in fuel and other energy costs through regulated or competitive electric rates; AEP's ability to build or acquire generating capacity, and transmission lines and facilities (including the ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals and permits) when needed at acceptable prices and terms and to recover those costs (including the costs of projects that are cancelled) through applicable rate cases or competitive rates; new legislation, litigation and government regulation, including oversight of nuclear generation, energy commodity trading and new or heightened requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate matter and other substances or additional regulation of fly ash and similar combustion products that could impact the continued operation and cost recovery of AEP's plants and related assets; a reduction in the federal statutory tax rate; timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions, including rate or other recovery of new investments in generation, distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance; resolution of litigation; AEP's ability to constrain operation and maintenance costs; AEP's ability to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity, natural gas and other energy-related commodities; changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom AEP has contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market; actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of AEP debt; volatility and changes in markets for electricity, natural gas, coal, nuclear fuel and other energy-related commodities; changes in utility regulation, including the implementation of Electric Security Plans and the expected legal separation and transition to market for generation in Ohio and the allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including PJM and SPP; accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard-setting bodies; the impact of volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by AEP's pension, other postretirement benefit plans, captive insurance entity and nuclear decommissioning trust and the impact on future funding requirements; prices and demand for power that AEP generates and sells at wholesale; changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing or alternative sources of generation; AEP's ability to recover through rates or market prices any remaining unrecovered investment in generating units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected useful lives; AEP's ability to successfully manage negotiations with stakeholders and obtain regulatory approval to terminate or amend the Interconnection Agreement and break up or modify the AEP Power Pool; evolving public perception of the risks associated with fuels used before, during and after the generation of electricity, including nuclear fuel; and other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes, cyber security threats and other catastrophic events.

Kansas Wolf Creek reactor repairs advancing slowly



HOUSTON, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Operators at the 1,166-megawatt Wolf Creek nuclear power plant in Kansas have replaced electrical equipment that forced the unit to shut in mid-January, but no return date has been set, a spokeswoman said.

"We are moving forward with taking care of the plant, taking the time to understand what happened and implementing corrective actions," the spokeswoman said. Other maintenance tasks also are being performed while the unit is shut, she said.

The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) will hold a public meeting on March 6 to discuss results of an inspection conducted at the plant in late January, according to an NRC release.

The Wolf Creek Nuclear station declared an "unusual event," the NRC's lowest-level emergency, on Jan. 13, after the failure of a main generator electrical breaker and an unexplained loss of power to a startup transformer shut the plant, the NRC said.

The switchyard was de-energized, meaning the plant lost its connection to the electrical power grid, the NRC said.

All safety systems responded and emergency diesel generators automatically powered safety-related equipment, the NRC said.

The unusual event was canceled about three hours later when off-site power was partially restored. -------------------------------------------------------------

a lot in REITs and oil sector right now, for dividend plays. MLPs for pipelines pay decent dividend, even though gas prices are down, the pipelines still get paid very well. Only in a few utilities, SO doesn't pay much in divies, but it owns about every subsidiary around, might as well go with the MaMa Bear. WR is consistant with it's dividend and is pretty much the highest payer in the sector, even though it is fairly small as companies go, but it should remain consistant forever unless it's bought out. One thing WR doesn't have to worry about is electrical lines fighting scenic view greenies, and expenses on annual tree trimming is pretty low.
