An Ohio report finds AEP Ohio decision to purposefully turn off power following a storm last summer kept outages from spreading.
The report from the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio said while AEP Ohio acted appropriately during the storm, it could do a better job of communicating with customers whenPUCO chair Jenifer Frenchto complete the review last summer to gather more information about the outage and to see what could be learned from it.
While the company's actions did follow state laws and rules, the report said,"additional diligence regarding right-of-way vegetation management and better customer communication by the company will assist in addressing the aftereffects of these weather occurrences." "Energy justice for hundreds of thousands of AEP consumers who lost their electricity should be served with a process that is transparent and inclusive of the public and their representatives," the Ohio Consumers' Counsel said in a prepared statement."While we appreciate today’s PUCO report, it begs questions including why there would be outages from electric wires damaged by trees considering the money that AEP charges consumers for tree-trimming.
As a result, PJM Interconnection, which oversees the flow of electricity in all or parts of 13 states, including Ohio, ordered AEP to decrease electricity demand on parts of the stressed system in central Ohio to prevent outages from spreading. The decision is something that PJM does as a last resort.
