Description: AEP American Electric Power
American Electric Power Company, Inc. (AEP) is a vertically integrated U.S. utility that generates, transmits, and distributes electricity to both retail and wholesale customers. Its business is organized into four segments: Vertically Integrated Utilities, Transmission and Distribution Utilities, AEP Transmission Holdco, and Generation & Marketing. The firm’s generation mix includes coal, lignite, natural gas, nuclear, hydro, solar, wind, and other sources, and it also conducts wholesale energy trading.
Key operational metrics (as of the latest 10-K) show roughly 225,000 circuit miles of distribution lines serving 5.6 million customers, about 40,000 circuit miles of high-voltage transmission lines, and 23,000 MW of regulated owned generation capacity. AEP’s regulated earnings per share (EPS) have historically been insulated from commodity price swings, but its non-regulated generation and trading arms are increasingly exposed to natural-gas price volatility and the broader shift toward renewable energy-trends that are accelerating as states adopt stricter carbon-reduction targets and as the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) moves toward more market-based pricing for transmission services.
For a deeper quantitative assessment of AEP’s valuation dynamics and how its exposure to renewable-energy policy and gas-price risk compares to peers, you may find a focused analysis on ValueRay worthwhile.
