Southwestern Electric Power Co.'s current investment in clean energy resources will likely mean savings for its Texarkana, Arkansas, customers, but not its Texarkana, Texas, customers, an official said Monday.
"Our intent would be to have a positive impact with the wind facilities in Oklahoma and provide a savings for customers," said Peter Main, American Electric Power's corporate communications manager. "The way it was is we acquire a facility and our rates pay for the facilities but wind and solar are free."
