Southwestern Electric Power Co. (SWEPCO) has signed long-term power purchase agreements for a total of 359 MW of renewable energy from wind projects in Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas. Together with a 49 MW agreement signed by the Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority, SWEPCO and its affiliates have exceeded the 400 MW renewable energy commitment in a recent settlement of legal issues involving the John W.
