American Electric Power remains dedicated to providing reliable, affordable service to our customers, value to our shareholders, and a safe work environment for our employees.
America needs a new interstate system, a transmission "superhighway" that can
ensure the reliability of our energy supply, help keep energy costs low,
and help connect remote renewable energy sources like wind generators to the grid.
AEP's I-765 is the future of transmission.
