AEP CEO says time running out on Wind Catcher: 'We need an answer'

摘要

Still hopeful the 2,000-MW Wind Catcher Wind Farm will receive its necessary approvals, American Electric Power said it is prepared to move forward without the $4.5 billion investment. "We cannot afford to continue to allow this thing to languish," AEP Chairman, President and CEO Nicholas Akins said Wednesday on the company's second-quarter 2018 earnings call. Akins noted that construction has started on the project and the company is incurring expenses associated with its development.
