American Electric Power response to subcritical coal report

Thank you for giving us the opportunity to respond to this report.  Without the complete set of data used to compile the rankings, it is a little bit difficult to confirm the data.  The ranking is presumably based on our 2012 generation statistics. The table lists 87.6 MM mWh which would be much higher than the mWh generated from our subcritical coal units that year – actually more than double the amount of electricity generated from those units. So, it appears that the data may be flawed.

Irrespective of that, in less than a year, we will have far less subcritical capacity due to planned retirements of coal-fueled generating units in 2015 and 2016...
