(AEP Release) – A stretch of high temperatures and an increased potential for severe weather are expected across our service territory beginning Sunday, June 16th and running through that week. With highs above 90 degrees, your air conditioner may be working hard to keep your home cool, increasing your energy use and electric bill. 

“We’re closely monitoring weather conditions to prepare our crews to respond safely and as quickly as possible if storms cause outages. We’re also coordinating with PJM, our regional transmission organization, to monitor the supply and demand for electricity in our region,” according to American Electric Power press release.

“As always, we encourage you to prepare. Below you’ll find summer energy-saving resources, ways to prepare for severe weather and information on what to expect if PJM calls for energy conservation to protect the electric grid.”
