LCG, December 18, 2025--RWE and Indiana Michigan Power Company (I&M), an American Electric Power (AEP) company, today announced their partnering to provide new wind power generation capacity online to meet Indiana’s growing electricity demand. The companies signed a 15-year power purchase agreement (PPA) for the total output from RWE’s 200 MW Prairie Creek wind project in Blackford County, Indiana. I&M will purchase electricity from the wind project, which will further diversify its portfolio and be consistent with its all-of-the-above strategy to secure generation for its rapidly growing electricity demand.

New England Power Plants There When Needed, ISO Says
LCG, Jan. 15, 2001ISO New England Inc., the manager of the transmission grid in much of the U.S. Northeast, said on Friday that it is conducting a study on power plant availability in its region and so far the operators of generating units appear to be responding well.The study, which is expected to be completed in late March, is focusing on what are the drivers for unit outages including the impact of market operations, age, environmental retrofits and other factors, the ISO said.ISO New England said it has observed that since the wholesale electricity marketplace opened to competition in May 1999, generating units have been responsive to ISO requests and made aggressive efforts to be available to meet peak demand.The study indicates that power producers conduct maintenance when plants are not likely to be needed, generally during seasonal off-peak periods in the spring and fall.In addition, ISO New England said it has noted that during short-term peak demand periods that occur during the spring or fall, or when a generator suddenly trips off-line and is unavailable, generators and their operators work vigorously to have the generating units online, maintain system reliability and meet the needs of New England's electricity consumers.Other observations include that during peak demand summer and winter months, when the weatheris more temperate than forecasted, generators may conduct spot, or short-term maintenance outages, in order to prepare for days when demand is high.ISO New England said it will post the study on the World Wide Web when it is complete.
