AEP Ohio representatives plan to upgrade the local power grid in Perry and Muskingum counties.
The project involves:
The upgrades enhance electric reliability by replacing aging infrastructure from the 1920s and 1950s. Modernizing equipment reduces the need for frequent maintenance and minimizes the likelihood of future service disruptions and outages.
Summer 2026: Crews will conduct environmental surveys within the existing right-of-way throughout the summer into the winter season. For questions related to survey or access permissions, please contact Property ROW LLC, AEP Ohio’s right-of-way representative, by calling John McNutt at 740-297-8630 or emailing jmcnutt@propertyrow.com.
The project involves the use of steel h-frames and single steel poles.
Pole Height: 60 - 115 feet*
Right-of-Way Width: 80 feet*
*Exact structure types, height and right-of-way requirements may vary
AEP Ohio provides electricity to nearly 1.5 million customers.
