Connect on LinkedInIt's no coincidence that our service territory is a hub for solar activity. Not only are we investing heavily in solar but we're also proud to be home to industry leaders like Enel in Tulsa, Oklahoma, whose innovative production of solar panels and cells fuel our nation's energy transformation. Institutions like Ivy Tech, an Indiana community college known for its solar PV system design training program, offer cutting-edge solar education and training programs, ensuring a steady stream of skilled professionals. This unique ecosystem allows us to offer our clients unmatched access to expertise, resources, and talent, helping them navigate the solar landscape with confidence.
The Ideal Region for Your Industry
- AEP is at the forefront of the cleaner energy transition. We are investing $8.6 billion in renewables through 2027 and growing our renewable generation portfolio to 50% by 2030.
- Proximity to several institutions recognized for education and training in the solar industry, including Purdue University, University of Louisiana Lafayette, The Ohio State University and Ivy Tech.
- Our service territory includes Oklahoma – an energy hub for oil, gas, CNG, geothermal, solar, wind and more. The state ranks as the third largest producer of both wind energy and natural gas. AEP-served Tulsa is one of the nation's energy capitals with nearly 1,000 energy-related companies calling the region home.
Equipping the Energy Transition
AEP has the expertise you are looking for and the know-how to make your solar, wind or hydro project successful. We're committed to this growing industry now more than ever and looking forward to working with like-minded partners.
High-Powered Hydrogen Growth
AEP is a driving force behind the success of the hydrogen revolution. Our 11-state service territory is home to three of the seven hydrogen hubs selected by the U.S. Department of Energy. These hubs will play a critical role in developing and deploying hydrogen technologies, creating jobs, and driving economic growth. Our abundant renewable energy and natural gas supply will drive down the cost of hydrogen and make it a more competitive energy source. There is also strong infrastructure in place, including a network of pipelines and storage facilities, that can be used to transport and store hydrogen.
- The Appalachian hub (Ohio & West Virginia)
- Energy investors recognize the profitability potential of Ohio's shale plays. Ohio sits atop much of the Utica and Marcellus shale formations that contribute 85 percent of U.S. shale gas production growth since 2011. These shale plays contain large amounts of natural gas, natural gas liquids and crude oils. Ohio's access to plentiful and low-cost feedstock, combined with its proximity to end markets, make the state attractive for midstream and downstream investments.

- The Midwest hub (Indiana and Michigan)
