Ohio-based American Electric Power (AEP), an integrated energy company, has intended to recommence operations at its Oklaunion coal-fired power station in Texas on June 24, 2009, the company told Texas regulators, as reported by Reuters.
The station was closed on June 19, 2009 for maintenance. The plant has a power generation capacity of 690 megawatts (MW).
The Oklaunion power plant is located in Oklaunion in Wilbarger County, about 190 miles northwest of Dallas. The plant commenced its operations in 1986. One MW of power generated serves approximately 500 homes in Texas.
