OTHER EVENTS

As previously disclosed, in February 2007 the Texas District Court judge hearing the various appeals of the final true-up order for AEP Texas Central Company (TCC) issued a letter containing his preliminary determinations. He generally affirmed the April 4, 2006 final true-up order of the Public Utility Commission of Texas (PUCT) with two significant exceptions. The judge ruled that the PUCT erred when it determined TCC’s stranded cost using the sale of assets method instead of the Excess Cost Over Market (ECOM) method to value TCC’s nuclear plant. The judge also determined that the PUCT erred when it concluded it was required to use the carrying cost rate specified in the true-up order. In response to a request by TCC, the District Court judge scheduled additional argument on March 22, 2007 regarding use of the ECOM method to value TCC’s nuclear plant stranded cost.

On March 6, 2007, the District Court issued a second letter containing preliminary determinations. The second letter reversed the earlier ruling that the PUCT erred when it determined TCC’s stranded cost using the sale of assets method instead of the ECOM method to value TCC’s nuclear plant. As a result, the District Court has removed the hearing scheduled for March 22, 2007 from the docket. The second letter did not alter the judge’s earlier determination that the PUCT erred when it concluded it was required to use the carrying cost rate specified in the true-up order, which, if lowered on remand, could result in a material adverse change to TCC’s recoverable carrying costs. The second letter also did not alter the judge’s earlier determination that the PUCT improperly reduced stranded costs in connection with the sales process, which could have a materially favorable effect on TCC.
