AEP highlights Google as a committed large-load customer in its Indiana service territory, underpinning the demand growth that creates rate benefits for other customers.

Доказательства
“These rate reductions... are made possible by the ability to attract large load customers like Google and Microsoft and then shifting a significant amount of those fixed costs away from residential customers.”

AEP has secured 13 GW of gas turbines for deployment through 2031 and has access to an additional 10 GW through 2035, which locks in supply and possibly puts price pressure on competitors needing similar equipment. — Securing a scarce resource like turbines provides AEP with a significant speed-to-market advantage over peers and strengthens its ability to win new contracts.

Доказательства
“using our size and scale and our relationships with namely GE, Vernova, and Mitsubishi to get this equipment locked up.”

A1

AEP has collected nearly $2 billion in cash or collateral from customers as a requirement to submit 45 GW of load commitments to ERCOT, demonstrating the credibility of the demand and reducing risk of speculative projects.

Доказательства
“in fact, just over the past month, we have collected nearly $2 billion in cash or collateral for load commitments in ERCOT, which represents all the required credit support for the full 45 gigawatts included in AEP Texas' Batch Zero filing.”
A2

AEP has secured 13 GW of gas turbines for deployment through 2031 and has access to an additional 10 GW through 2035, which locks in supply and possibly puts price pressure on competitors needing similar equipment.

Доказательства
“Just over this past quarter, we have secured an additional three gigawatts of turbines, This increases our total secured turbine capacity to approximately 13 gigawatts for deployment through 2031.”
A3

AEP submitted 45 GW of data center load projects into ERCOT's Batch Zero process, and a significant portion of new load (45 GW in Texas alone) is not fully captured in the current $78B capital plan, implying significant potential capex upside.

Доказательства
“we have line of sight to over $10 billion of incremental investments that are not included in the $7-8 billion... increment - we now have 69 gigawatts of contracted load additions through 2030”
