COLUMBUS, Ohio — Mid-June storms, extreme heat and forced outages knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of AEP Ohio customers around the state. Many households and businesses were without power for days, losing food, medicine and, in some cases, being forced to find other accommodations. Many customers made pleas for reimbursement for the losses, and AEP Ohio responded with an announcement of $1 million in funds that would be distributed equally among four local non-profits – Mid-Ohio Food Collective, IMPACT Community Action, LifeCare Alliance and the Columbus Urban League.
