TRANSCRIPT
2016 Fact Book
51st EEI Financial Conference
Phoenix, AZ
November 6-9, 2016
This presentation contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Although AEP and each of its
Registrant Subsidiaries believe that their expectations are based on reasonable assumptions, any such statements may be influenced by factors that could cause
actual outcomes and results to be materially different from those projected. Among the factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the
forward-looking statements are: the economic climate, growth or contraction within and changes in market demand and demographic patterns in AEP’s service
territory; inflationary or deflationary interest rate trends; volatility in the financial markets, particularly developments affecting the availability of capital on reasonable
terms and developments impairing AEP’s ability to finance new capital projects and refinance existing debt at attractive rates; the availability and cost of funds to
finance working capital and capital needs, particularly during periods when the time lag between incurring costs and recovery is long and the costs are material;
electric load, customer growth and the impact of competition, including competition for retail customers; weather conditions, including storms and drought conditions,
and AEP’s ability to recover significant storm restoration costs; the costs of, and transportation for, fuels and the creditworthiness and performance of fuel suppliers
and transporters; availability of necessary generation capacity and the performance of AEP’s generating plants; AEP’s ability to recover fuel and other energy costs
through regulated or competitive electric rates; AEP’s ability to build transmission lines and facilities (including the ability to obtain any necessary regulatory approvals
and permits) when needed at acceptable prices and terms and to recover those costs; new legislation, litigation and government regulation, including oversight of
nuclear generation, energy commodity trading and new or heightened requirements for reduced emissions of sulfur, nitrogen, mercury, carbon, soot or particulate
matter and other substances or additional regulation of fly ash and similar combustion products that could impact the continued operation, cost recovery and/or
profitability of AEP’s generation plants and related assets; evolving public perception of the risks associated with fuels used before, during and after the generation of
electricity, including nuclear fuel; a reduction in the federal statutory tax rate could result in an accelerated return of deferred federal income taxes to customers;
timing and resolution of pending and future rate cases, negotiations and other regulatory decisions including rate or other recovery of new investments in generation,
distribution and transmission service and environmental compliance; resolution of litigation, AEP’s ability to constrain operation and maintenance costs; AEP’s ability
to develop and execute a strategy based on a view regarding prices of electricity and other energy-related commodities; prices and demand for power that AEP
generates and sells at wholesale; changes in technology, particularly with respect to new, developing, alternative or distributed sources of generation; AEP’s ability to
recover through rates or market prices any remaining unrecovered investment in generation units that may be retired before the end of their previously projected
useful lives; volatility and changes in markets for capacity and electricity, coal, and other energy-related commodities, particularly changes in the price of natural gas
and capacity auction returns; changes in utility regulation and the allocation of costs within regional transmission organizations, including ERCOT, PJM and SPP; the
transition to market for generation in Ohio, including the implementation of ESPs and AEP’s ability to recover investments in its Ohio generation assets; AEP’s ability
to successfully and profitably manage its separate competitive generation assets; changes in the creditworthiness of the counterparties with whom AEP has
contractual arrangements, including participants in the energy trading market; actions of rating agencies, including changes in the ratings of AEP’s debt; the impact of
volatility in the capital markets on the value of the investments held by AEP’s pension and other postretirement benefit plans, captive insurance entity and nuclear
decommissioning trust and the impact of such volatility on future funding requirements; accounting pronouncements periodically issued by accounting standard-setting
bodies and other risks and unforeseen events, including wars, the effects of terrorism (including increased security costs), embargoes, cyber security threats and other
catastrophic events

Rate Bases & ROEs
1 Rate base represents Net Utility Plant plus Regulatory
Assets less Net Accumulated Deferred Income Taxes
and less Regulatory Liabilities from 2015 FERC Form 1
2 Proforma adjusts GAAP results by eliminating any
material nonrecurring items and is not weather
normalized. 12-month rolling ROE. AEP Ohio ROE
reflects adjustment for Ohio SEET (significantly
excessive earnings test) purposes.
3 Represents the midpoint of the ROE range approved
in the formula rate case settled in February 2014
4 Represents approved 50/50 ratio once the company
issues debt
5 Kingsport has a Commission-approved Settlement
Agreement, but as of 10/12/16, a Final Order has not
been issued.
6 Rate base as specified under the PJM transmission
formula rate filing.
* 10.4% Allowed top of band, 70 BPS above authorized
9.7%, as approved in 2014. Base rates subsequently
frozen in VA by the Feb. 2015 Rate Freeze Law. A
9.4% ROE was approved in October, 2016 to be
applied to rate adjustment clauses only.
** Per ESP III Order
Chart excludes AEG's Rockport plant investment .
AEG sells capacity & energy to I&M and KPCo under a
PPA.

Summary of Rate Case Filing Requirements
Note 1: CWIP that is projected to be placed into service within six months post test year is included in rate base (for LA, under separate docket only). No CWIP in annual formula rates.
Note 2: CWIP is not included in rate base for a general rate case. However, for Clean Coal Technology using Indiana Coal or Qualified Pollution Control Property, Cook Life Cycle Management
Projects and Federally Mandated Projects the Commission may add CWIP to utility property for ratemaking purposes between rate cases via a surcharge. In addition, legislation
(SB 251) was passed that will allow CWIP recovery through a tracker for Cook Life Cycle Management projects.
Note 3: KPCO uses capitalization instead of rate base which includes CWIP, however, there is also a partial AFUDC offset which partially negates the cash return effect of CWIP
in capitalization or rate base.
Note 4: Ohio (ESP) cases are cost-based. Distribution cases are cost-of-service based.
Note 5: Can request inclusion in rate base but requires a showing that it is needed to maintain financial integrity. The financial integrity standard in Texas is not clearly defined and has been
essentially impossible to meet.
Note 6: The general FERC rule has been to allow CWIP in rate base.
Note 7: Allows environmental CWIP in Rate Base.
Note 8: The SCC is required to issue a biennial order within 8 months of filing. Rates are to be implemented 60 days after order and are NOT subject to refund. Depending on the nature of the
RAC, the SCC has a statutory limit to issue decisions within 3 months for a transmission cost recovery RAC, 8 months for a environmental compliance, RPS-RAC or DR/EE-RAC,
and 9 months for cost recovery related to a new generating facility.
Note 9: HIstoric quarterly FAC ended May 31, 2015 with final reconciliation filed with PUCO on September 1, 2015.
Note 10: WV ENEC rates currently frozen until June 30, 2018.

Qualifications for Commissioners
The Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) is composed of up to five commissioners who are appointed by the President of the United States with
the advice and consent of the Senate. Commissioners serve five-year terms, and have an equal vote on regulatory matters. To avoid any undue political
influence or pressure, no more than three commissioners may belong to the same political party.
Commissioners
Norman C. Bay, Chairman (Dem.) since 2014: term expires June 2018. Commissioner Bay assumed chairmanship in April 2015. From July 2009 to July
2014, Chairman Bay was the Director of the Office of Enforcement (OE). Under his leadership, OE enhanced its ability to conduct market oversight and
surveillance and to investigate wrongdoing. OE successfully investigated allegations of manipulation of the gas and electric markets, and the Commission
approved settlements that returned almost $1 billion to ratepayers and taxpayers. OE also led several inquiries into major reliability events, including the
Arizona-Southern California outages of September 8, 2011, and issued reports that contained dozens of findings and recommendations. Before coming to
FERC, Chairman Bay was a Professor of Law at the University of New Mexico School of Law. Chairman Bay served in the Department of Justice from 1989 to
2001. From 1989 to 2000, he was an Assistant U.S. Attorney in the District of Columbia and New Mexico; and from 2000 to 2001, he was the U.S. Attorney in
the District of New Mexico.
Colette D. Honorable, Commissioner (Nonpartisan) since 2014: term expires June 2017. Commissioner Honorable came to FERC from the Arkansas
Public Service Commission, where she had served since October 2007. She had the Commission since January 2011. Prior to her APSC appointment,
Commissioner Honorable held a cabinet post as Executive Director of the Arkansas Workforce Investment Board. She also worked as a consumer protection

Clean Power Plan - Overview
• EPA announced 111(d) Guidelines (“Clean Power Plan”) to reduce CO2 emissions from existing fossil fuel-fired electric generating units on August 3, 2015
• Establishes Uniform National CO2 Emission Performance Standards
• Defines State-Specific CO2 Emission Rate and Mass Emission Goals as optional requirements
• Clean Power Plan emission reductions driven by assumed actions across the utility industry
• 32% reduction in CO2 emissions from electric generating units compared to 2005 (EPA estimate)
• Improved efficiency of coal-based generating units
• Increased use of natural gas combined cycle units
• Increased development of renewable energy
The Clean Power Plan is currently under a stay by the U.S. Supreme Court
33
• Multi-year process to develop and implement compliance strategies
• Emission reduction requirements are phased-in from 2022 through 2030
• States develop and submit State Plans to EPA for approval
• Initial draft State Plans were due Sept 2016; Final draft State Plans were due Sept 2018
• Litigation over final rule is on-going, Supreme Court issued a stay of the rule until litigation is complete.
• Significant uncertainty over schedule even if rule is found to be legal.
• Separately, EPA announced CO2 emission standards for new fossil fuel-fired units on August 3, 2015
• New coal units would effectively require carbon capture and storage (“CCS”) technology
• New natural gas units expected to meet standards without CCS

Additional Environmental Regulations
• Revised Effluent Limitation Guidelines (“ELG”) – Final rule went into effect January, 2016
• Establishes more stringent standards for wastewater discharge from steam electric generating units
• Will drive new and upgraded treatment systems for wastewater from FGD control systems, and ash handling and storage processes
• Implementation Nov 1, 2018 to Dec 31, 2023 based on the renewal schedule of existing permits
• Coal Combustion Residuals Rule (“CCR”) – Final rule went into effect October, 2015
• Applies to the handling and storage of coal combustion and emission control system by-products
• Will drive upgraded systems for the transport and storage of coal combustion by-products
• ELG and CCR Implementation Strategy
• AEP has long recognized that the ELG and CCR rules address many of the same plant systems
• Optimal compliance solutions to address both rules have been included in capital cost estimates
• With both rules finalized, plans are being refined and are expected to be generally consistent with prior estimates
• Revised Clean Water Act 316(b) Standards - Final rule went into effect October, 2014
• Applies to the cooling water intake systems
• Does not mandate cooling towers, but does require studies of site-specific constraints
• With the rule finalized, plans are being refined and are expected to be generally consistent with prior estimates

the bond portfolio, which
comprises 60% of pension
assets. OPEB returns are up
7.0%, also due to strong bond
performance and modest equity
gains. OPEB obligations
remain fully funded at 104%
We expect combined pension
and OPEB costs (pre-tax and
including capitalized portion) to
increase by $8M from 2016 to
2017 subject to potential
changes in investment results,
interest rates and actuarial
assumptions
Pension funding and expense

regulated) to allow customers to evaluate generation costs. In 2008, legislation was enacted to limit customer choice load to no more than
10% of the annual retail load for the preceding calendar year but there is currently active legislation attempting to increase this cap. I&M-
Michigan has an active fuel clause that recovers fuel, purchased energy and capacity, PJM expenses, consumables expenses and off-system

Transco Project Mix
Transmission has large RTO mandated projects combined with customer, asset replacement and local reliability projects
100
AEP Transco Has a Large, Diverse Footprint The Transcos exist within the expansive service territories of AEP, operating across two RTOs and 10 states.
Transco investment opportunity is directly proportional to AEP's footprint. As the largest owner, operator and developer of
transmission infrastructure in North America, AEP Transco is well positioned for consistent and stable growth.
(1) As of September 30, 2016 101
Transmission Investment Needs Continue Forward
Approximately $25 billion of investment is needed over 10 years simply on a life expectancy basis
AEP Transmission continues to balance asset replacement needs with the need to respond to customer-driven projects, resiliency and regional reliability through the use of technology
Ave Age – 41yrs Life Expectancy – 60 yrs.
102
Transco Regulatory Compacts
• AEP Transco and its seven Transco subsidiaries were formed in 2009 to focus on upgrades to AEP’s transmission system and provide financial flexibility to AEP’s electric utility Operating Companies.
• A summary of regulatory approval status is provided in the table below:
State Transco State Operational and Approval Status
OH Transco No state regulatory agency approval was required to construct and operate transmission assets in the state of Ohio. OH Transco is fully operational with assets in-service.
IM Transco Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission approval for utility status received November 2011; no Michigan approval required. IM Transco is fully operational with assets in-service.
OK Transco No state regulatory approval required for utility status. OK Transco is fully operational with assets in-service.
WV Transco In a December 2012 order, the West Virginia Public Service Commission (“WVPSC”) required WV Transco to obtain a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (“CPCN”) before beginning construction on each proposed project, until WV Transco established a track record, revenue stream and utility plant base. WV Transco subsequently filed for and received 21 CPCN’s for projects with total estimated costs of $707M. In September, 2015, the WVPSC recognized that WV Transco had established the required track record, and granted WV Transco’s petition to exempt projects from the CPCN requirement, when such projects met the “ordinary extension of existing systems” condition, as established for public utilities in the West Virginia Code. WV Transco is fully operational with assets in service.
AP Transco In Feb. 2012, the Virginia State Corporation Commission (“VSCC”) approved a service agreement between AP Transco and APCo limited to studying and evaluating potential transmission projects and for preparation of applications for future submission of project certificate applications to the VSCC. In May 2013, AP Transco and APCo filed a joint application with the Virginia SCC for the approval of the Cloverdale Extra High Voltage Transmission Improvements Project. The VSCC approved the project for APCo to construct. AP Transco can seek certification of future projects in its own name but the Virginia SCC will determine whether the project will ultimately be owned by AP Transco or APCo. AP Transco has not yet filed other project applications. A petition for a joint license agreement between AP Transco and APCO has been filed with the Virginia SCC and WVPSC to support AP Transco investment in Tennessee.
KY Transco In Feb 2011, KY Transco filed an application with the Kentucky Public Service Commission (“KPSC”) in Case No. 2011-00042 seeking a CPCN to operate as a transmission-only public utility in Kentucky. In June 2013, the KPSC denied the application, stating that KY Transco could not be defined as a public utility under Kentucky statute and therefore was not subject to KPSC regulatory jurisdiction. KY Transco is fully operational with assets in service.
SW Transco Applied for public utility status in Arkansas and Louisiana in May 2011 and August 2011, respectively, with supplemental filings made in both jurisdictions. In January, 2015, the Arkansas Public Service Commission denied the application. An application for regulatory approval for SWTCo is under consideration in Louisiana.
103
State Transcos are Regulated by FERC
Conservative FERC regulation results in timely recovery of costs
• In April 2011, the FERC approved a formula rate mechanism for the State Transcos
• The FERC order dictates how the State Transcos determine their rates, including the recovery of all authorized expenses and the return on and of invested plant
• The approved formula rate mechanism established an annual revenue requirement for transmission services under the PJM and SPP OATTs, as applicable, and implemented a transmission cost of service formula rate
• Annual rate updates provide a highly predictable and stable source of revenues and income
• Each State Transco’s annual transmission revenue requirement (“ATRR”) is reset in July, establishing rates for the one-year forward period of July to June. The rate base component of the formula rate calculation includes the prior year’s transmission plant in service ending balance, plus the current year’s projected plant in service additions
• The revenue requirements are derived from the following capital structure and authorized ROEs:
Company RTO Capital Structure %
Equity Cap Authorized ROE
ATRR
(Effective 07/01/2016)
Rate Base
(Effective
07/01/2016)
AP Transco PJM 50% 11.49% $13 KH $72 KH
IM Transco PJM 50% 11.49% $106.7 MH $757.0 MH
KY Transco PJM 50% 11.49% $6.6 MH $59.0 MH
OH Transco PJM 50% 11.49% $308.1 MH $1,503.9 MH
WV Transco PJM 50% 11.49% $63.6 MH $459.2 MH
OK Transco SPP 50% 11.20% $69.6 MH $433.5 MH
SW Transco SPP 50% 11.20% $78 KH $6 KH
104
FERC Formula Rate
The Transcos benefit from a transparent, partially forward-looking formula rate mechanism, authorized by the FERC, which minimizes regulatory lag:

Project Selection Guidelines
• State Transcos will develop new projects that are attached to AEP’s existing system
• A Project Selection Guideline (“PSG”) is used to determine which facilities are developed by the
State Transco and which are developed by an AEP Operating Company
• All projects developed by AEP go through an internal process that requires approval by AEP
management and ensures compliance with all selection guidelines and financial controls
• Projects developed as part of an RTO-driven process are subject to approval by the RTO Board of
Directors, and certain high-voltage projects must meet state siting requirements
• The following projects are eligible for development by a State Transco:
Type of Project Definition
Greenfield New transmission assets that do not require replacement or modification of existing
facilities or components
Facility Additions New transmission components installed at existing AEP Operating Company-owned
transmission or distribution facilities
Facility
Replacements
Replacement of an entire existing AEP Operating Company-owned facility with a new
AEP Transco-owned facility
Component
Replacements
An apportioned replacement of an existing AEP Operating Company-owned
transmission facility or replacement of component(s) within a transmission facility
