What the evidence establishes
Regulatory records document how this utility assigns costs to large-load customers. They do not isolate the price effect of each mapped facility. A facility’s stated utility is a source-reported relationship, not proof that a particular grid investment serves only that facility.
AEP Ohio is not every Ohio utility. State price history is context only. A registry label of AEP without a specified Ohio company is not automatically assigned to this case.
We have a dated 2024 utility average, not a verified multi-year utility price series. The historical chart below is explicitly a state average. It must not be treated as this utility’s tariff history or as a causal estimate.
Dated regulatory evidence
- Regulatory decision
Data center tariff approved
PUCO adopted a data center tariff for AEP Ohio. The tariff establishes minimum billing demand using contracted capacity and a tiered schedule. Capacity commitments help recover infrastructure costs even if a customer uses less than planned. This does not establish the amount any household rate changed because of a particular facility.

Price sources and missing evidence
The 2024 utility average comes from Jay Huggins / NREL OpenEI utility data, under CC BY 4.0. Values are converted from dollars to cents per kWh. It is a sales-revenue average, not an offered household tariff. The live state history comes from EIA.
Further attribution requires verified operational demand, multi-year utility prices, rate-case cost allocation, investment timing and a suitable comparison group. Missing dates, capacity and utility relationships remain explicitly unavailable. Read the research on correlation and causation.
