The power from the Wind Catcher project would supply electricity to both customers of PSO and Southwestern Electric Power Co.(SWEPCO), another AEP subsidiary. As announced, SWEPCO will own 70 percent of the project, including 1,400 MW of wind capacity. PSO will own 30 percent of the project, including 600 MW of wind capacity. PSO had expected the Wind Catcher project would be operational in late 2020. The $4.5 billion project is AEP's largest planned renewable energy investment.
