AEP begins restoring power to residents on Columbus’ Northwest Side
AEP work crews have started restoring power to over 16,000 residents on Columbus’ Northwest Side.
The utility said on their Facebook page that crews had started restoring power to customers. There are still a little over 4,000 customers still without power, according to their outage map. But they warned that crews would have to work slowly due to the extreme cold.
“Crews are working as quickly as they safely can to get everyone restored and will bring equipment back online as fast as is safely possible,” AEP said in their Facebook post.
The outages came as already frigid temperatures approach zero on Tuesday evening. Overnight lows are expected to be seven degrees below zero, and the wind chill value is expected to be as low as -17 degrees, according to the National Weather Service in Wilmington.
A cold weather advisory is also in effect for Columbus and much of central Ohio. Multiple school districts have already canceled classes for Wednesday because of the cold.
After a long night of power outages, residents on Columbus’ Northwest Side can finally breathe a sigh of relief as American Electric Power (AEP) begins the process of restoring electricity to homes and businesses in the area.The outage, which affected thousands of customers, was caused by severe weather conditions that swept through the region yesterday evening. Strong winds and heavy rain knocked down power lines and caused widespread damage to the electrical infrastructure.
AEP crews have been working tirelessly throughout the night to assess the damage and make necessary repairs. They are prioritizing critical infrastructure such as hospitals, emergency services, and nursing homes, before moving on to residential areas.
Residents are advised to be patient as crews work to restore power as quickly and safely as possible. In the meantime, it is important to stay safe and avoid any downed power lines or damaged electrical equipment.
We commend the hard work and dedication of the AEP crews who are working around the clock to bring power back to our community. Thank you for your continued efforts in keeping us safe and connected during this challenging time.

AEP restores power to most of Laredo after morning outages
LAREDO, Tex. (KGNS) – Nearly all Laredo residents have had their power restored, according to AEP. Early Tuesday, more than 5,000 customers were without electricity due to outages that began around 4 a.m.
The affected areas included:
- North Laredo (off Del Mar and Springfield)
- Mines Road area
- South Laredo
Cause of the Outages
AEP spokesperson Danny Treviño explained that tree interference with power lines caused the disruptions.
“The ice on the branches makes them very heavy, causing them to sag onto the lines more than usual, which leads to outages,” Treviño said.
Potential Risks & Safety Warnings
- Power outages may still occur if generators or heaters run for extended periods.
- Residents are urged to stay away from downed power lines and report them immediately.
To report an outage, contact the AEP Hotline Outage at 866-223-8568 or visit their website.
Thousands of Laredoans are without power due to the icy conditions.
Power outages have been reported in Mines Rd. near Quail Creek. In North Laredo in the Regency Park and Del Mar area, as well as in central Laredo near Las Cruces and Springfield areas, and along Guadalupe St. near Market St. South Laredo was also affected, near the Los Presidentes and Pecan Acres area, and further south in Las Colonias, and El Eden subdivisions.
According to the AEP website, power is expected to be restored between 1 and 1:30pm this morning.

#AEP #restores #power #Laredo #morning #outagesAEP pays multimillion-dollar fine for role in Ohio HB6 scandal
American Electric Power has reached a multimillion-dollar settlement regarding a federal investigation into its role in the state’s House Bill 6 scandal.
AEP helped bankroll former Ohio House Speaker Larry Householder’s return to power and donated $500,000 toward a plan to give him another 16 years with the speaker’s gavel. AEP’s then-CEO met with Householder over lunch to hash out the plan, according to a settlement filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Columbus-based power company announced on Friday it will pay a fine of $19 million to the SEC. This follows a November announcement to investors it had set aside that sum for potential claims tied to the investigation.
“AEP fully cooperated with the SEC throughout this process and previously implemented additional safeguards in this area,” the company said in its Friday release. “Resolving this issue is an important step for AEP. We look forward to putting this matter behind us and fully focusing on making needed investments to enhance the service we provide to our customers.”
AEP previously acknowledged that it received two sets of subpoenas from the SEC, one in May 2021 and the second in August 2022, tied to the legislation. The bill was meant to provide a $1.3 billion bailout of the state’s two nuclear power plants and continue subsidies on two coal-fired power plants, including one in Indiana, the Dispatch previously reported.
The bailout of the nuclear plants was later repealed, but the subsequent criminal investigation led to charges being filed against several people, including Householder. AEP has not been charged criminally in the case. Householder was sentenced to 20 years in prison, while former Ohio Republican Party Chairman Matt Borges was sentenced to five years.

AEP’s donations to Empowering Ohio’s Economy Inc.
A Dispatch investigation found that AEP contributed $350,000 to a group called Empowering Ohio’s Economy Inc. that became part of the criminal case.
Empowering Ohio’s Economy gave $150,000 to a group called Generation Now, which also received $60 million from interests related to Akron-based FirstEnergy to get the legislation passed. FirstEnergy is the former owner of the plants.
According to the SEC’s order, AEP controlled Empowering Ohio’s spending and did so to “further American Electric Power’s own interest.” It said Empowering Ohio contributed a total of $1.2 million to organizations associated with Householder.
The order also noted that in March 2020 an AEP employee and the company’s then-CEO Nicholas Akins met with Householder for lunch at AEP headquarters. At that meeting, Householder discussed an initiative to revise Ohio political term limits that would have allowed Householder to remain speaker for an additional 16 years.
After the meeting, Akins suggested the company consider whether Empowering Ohio should support the initiative.
“A few weeks later, at the direction of the American Electric Power Employee, Empowering Ohio contributed $500,000 to a newly-created 501(c)(4) organization associated with Householder to support the term-limit initiative,” the order stated.
In its Friday release, AEP stated that the SEC found the company violated federal securities laws in connection with its relationship with a “social welfare organization.”
REQUIRED READING:AEP hopes to resolve federal investigation into House Bill 6 role as it seeks new CEO
The American Electric Power Company (AEP) has been ordered to pay a multimillion-dollar fine for its involvement in the Ohio House Bill 6 (HB6) scandal. The scandal, which rocked the state’s political landscape, involved bribery and corruption related to the bailout of two nuclear power plants.AEP, one of the largest electric utility companies in the United States, was found to have played a significant role in the scandal by providing financial support to individuals and organizations involved in the bribery scheme. As a result, the company has been fined millions of dollars and is facing further legal repercussions.
The fine imposed on AEP serves as a stark reminder of the consequences of corporate corruption and unethical behavior. It also highlights the importance of holding powerful companies accountable for their actions and ensuring transparency and integrity in our political system.
This development will undoubtedly have far-reaching implications for AEP and other companies involved in similar scandals. It also serves as a warning to those who seek to manipulate the political process for their own gain.
As the fallout from the HB6 scandal continues to unfold, it is crucial that all parties involved are held accountable and that steps are taken to prevent similar incidents from occurring in the future. Only through strong enforcement of laws and regulations can we ensure a fair and just society for all.
