About AEP Power Outages

American Electric Power is a holding company. The names on bills in this hub are AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power, Public Service Company of Oklahoma, and SWEPCO. An Ohio ice storm, a Texas coastal hurricane, and an Oklahoma ice-and-wind event are different control rooms. Use the outage map for the operating company on the bill (aeptexas.com/outagemap, appalachianpower.com/outagemap, psoklahoma.com/outagemap, swepco.com/outagemap, or AEP Ohio).

Users do not pick AEP. We total power reports from states where those five provider names appear. We are not AEP.

How to Report a AEP Outage

Open the outage map for the company on the bill — AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, Appalachian Power, PSO, or SWEPCO — or use the AEP Now app if your account is linked. Report by phone using the number on that operating company's bill. Restoration ETRs are published per company; this page cannot merge five GIS layers.

Why AEP Power Goes Out

In Ohio, Texas, Appalachia (APCo), Oklahoma (PSO), and SWEPCO's four-state pocket, an electric outage is usually local distribution, not a collapse of the bulk grid. Typical AEP patterns:

Ohio ice and lake-effect wind

AEP Ohio laterals ice up along the I-71 corridor and in rural counties after a single glaze event.

AEP Texas coastal storms

Corpus Christi and the Coastal Bend take tropical wind and lightning that Ohio never sees.

Appalachian Power mountain ice

West Virginia, Virginia, and Tennessee APCo circuits lose trees and access roads after ice, delaying crews.

PSO and SWEPCO ice and tornadoes

Oklahoma and the Ark-La-Tex mix ice storms with spring tornadoes; SWEPCO and PSO maps are the restoration source.

Before You Call AEP

  1. Identify the operating company on the bill (AEP Ohio, AEP Texas, APCo, PSO, or SWEPCO).
  2. Open that company's outage map or AEP Now on cellular data.
  3. See whether neighbors on the same tap are dark.
  4. Report through that company's app or outage phone number.
  5. After ice in Appalachia, assume road access — not just wire — can delay the ETR on the official map.
