STATEMENT FROM THE GOVERNOR: REGARDING AEP'S CARBON CAPTURE PROJECT

Contact: Matt Turner, 558-3848

"AEP's carbon capture initiative furthers our goal of developing new technology that allows us to increase the use of West Virginia coal, while reducing the impact of greenhouse gases. It's fitting that a West Virginia power generation plant will be the first one retrofitted with this new technology and I commend AEP for taking the lead in reducing these emissions."

"Combined with the scrubber technology the company is installing on its coal-fired plants across the country, the carbon capture program is enhancing our state's ability to meet our country's energy demands." - Gov. Joe Manchin III
