         Amounts in the "Long-Term Compensation" column reflect performance
      share unit targets earned under the Performance Share Incentive Plan
      (which became effective January 1, 1994) for the two-, three- and

Compensation of Directors

    Annual Retainers and Meeting Fees.  Directors who are officers
of AEP or employees of any of its subsidiaries do not receive any
compensation, other than their regular salaries and the accident
insurance coverage described below, for attending meetings of AEP's
Board of Directors. The other members of the Board receive an
annual retainer of $23,000 for their services, an additional annual
retainer of $3,000 for each Committee that they chair, a fee of
$1,000 for each meeting of the Board and of any Committee that they
attend (except a meeting of the Executive Committee held on the
same day as a Board meeting), and a fee of $1,000 per day for any
inspection trip or conference (except a trip or conference on the
same day as a Board or Committee meeting). 

    Deferred Compensation and Stock Plan.  The Deferred
Compensation and Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors permits non-employee
directors to choose to receive up to 100 percent of their
annual Board retainer in AEP Shares and/or units that are
equivalent in value to AEP Shares ("Stock Units), deferring receipt
by the non-employee director until termination of service or for a
period that results in payment commencing not later than five years
thereafter.  AEP Shares are distributed and/or Stock Units are
credited to directors, as the case may be, when the retainer is
payable, and are based on the closing price of the AEP Shares on
the payment date.  Amounts equivalent to cash dividends on the
Stock Units accrue as additional Stock Units.  Payment of Stock
Units to a director from deferrals of the retainer and dividend
credits is made in cash or AEP Shares, or a combination of both, as
elected by the director.

<PAGE>
    Stock Unit Accumulation Plan.  The Stock Unit Accumulation
Plan for Non-Employee Directors awards 300 Stock Units to each non-
employee director as of the first day of the month in which the
non-employee director becomes a member of the Board, and annually
thereafter, up to a maximum of 3,000 Stock Units for each non-employee
director.  Amounts equivalent to cash dividends on the
Stock Units accrue as additional Stock Units.  Stock Units credited
to a non-employee director's account as a result of the annual
awards and dividend credits are forfeitable on a pro rata basis for
each full month that service as a director is less than 60 months. 
Stock Units are paid to the director in cash upon termination of
service unless the director has elected to defer payment for a
period that results in payment commencing not later than five years
thereafter.

    Insurance.  AEP maintains a group 24-hour accident insurance
policy to provide a $1,000,000 accidental death benefit for each
director (three-year premium was $15,750). The current policy will
expire on September 1, 2000, and AEP expects to renew the coverage.
In addition, AEP pays each director (excluding officers of AEP or
employees of any of its subsidiaries) an amount to provide for the
federal and state income taxes incurred in connection with the
maintenance of this coverage (approximately $350 annually). 

Directors of APCo, I&M and OPCo receive a fee of $100 for each
meeting of the Board of Directors attended in addition to their
salaries.

     Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
     
     Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act and Section 17(a) of the 1935 Act
     require AEP's officers and directors to file initial reports of
     ownership and reports of changes in ownership of AEP Shares and other
     securities of AEP and its subsidiaries with the SEC and NYSE.  Officers
     and directors are required by SEC regulations to furnish AEP
     copies of all reports they file.  Based solely on AEP's review of the
     copies of such reports received and written representations from certain
     reporting persons, AEP notes that during 1997 Angus E. Peyton, a director,
     did not timely report the acquisition of 354 AEP Shares occurring in April
     1997.  He reported it in Feb ruary 1998.

            Long-Term Incentive Plans   Awards In 1997

Each of the awards set forth below establishes performance share
unit targets, which represent units equivalent to shares of AEP
Common Stock, pursuant to AEP's Performance Share Incentive Plan.
Since it is not possible to predict future dividends and the price
of AEP Shares, credits of performance share units in amounts equal
to the dividends that would have been paid if the performance share
unit targets were established in the form of shares of Common Stock
are not included in the table. 

The ability to earn performance share unit targets is tied to
achieving specified levels of total shareholder return ("TSR")
relative to the S&P Electric Utility Index. Notwithstanding AEP's
TSR ranking, no performance share unit targets are earned unless
AEP shareholders realize a positive TSR over the relevant
three-year performance period. The Human Resources Committee may,
at its discretion, reduce the number of performance share unit
targets otherwise earned. In accordance with the performance goals
established for the periods set forth below, the threshold, target
and maximum awards are equal to 25%, 100% and 200%, respectively,
of the performance share unit targets. No payment will be made for
performance below the threshold. 

Payments of earned awards are deferred in the form of restricted
stock units (equivalent to shares of AEP Common Stock) until the
officer has met the equivalent stock ownership target discussed in
the Human Resources Committee Report. Once officers meet and
maintain their respective targets, they may elect either to
continue to defer or to receive further earned awards in cash
and/or AEP Common Stock.

                       Retirement Benefits

The American Electric Power System Retirement Plan provides
pensions for all employees of AEP System companies (except for
employees covered by certain collective bargaining agreements),
including the executive officers of AEP. The Retirement Plan is a
noncontributory defined benefit plan.

The following table shows the approximate annual annuities under
the Retirement Plan that would be payable to employees in certain
higher salary classifications, assuming retirement at age 65 after
various periods of service.

</TABLE>
   
The amounts shown in the table are the straight life annuities
payable under the Retirement Plan without reduction for the joint
and survivor annuity. Retirement benefits listed in the table are
not subject to any deduction for Social Security or other offset
amounts. The retirement annuity is reduced 3% per year in the case
of retirement between ages 60 and 62 and further reduced 6% per
year in the case of retirement between ages 55 and 60. If an
employee retires after age 62, there is no reduction in the
retirement annuity. 

AEP maintains a supplemental retirement plan which provides for the
payment of benefits that are not payable under the Retirement Plan
due primarily to limitations imposed by Federal tax law on benefits
paid by qualified plans. The table includes supplemental retirement
benefits. 

Compensation upon which retirement benefits are based, for the
executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table above,
consists of the average of the 36 consecutive months of the
officer's highest aggregate salary and Senior Officer Annual
Incentive Compensation Plan (and predecessor Management Incentive
Compensation Plan) awards, shown in the "Salary" and "Bonus"
columns, respectively, of the Summary Compensation Table, out of
the officer's most recent 10 years of service. As of December 31,
1997, the number of full years of service applicable for retirement
benefit calculation purposes for such officers were as follows: 
Dr. Draper, five years; Mr. DeMaria, 38 years; Mr. Maloney,
42 years; Mr. Lhota, 33 years; and Dr. Markowsky, 26 years. 

Dr. Draper has a contract with AEP and AEP Service Corporation
which provides him with a supplemental retirement annuity that
credits him with 24 years of service in addition to his years of
service credited under the Retirement Plan less his actual pension
entitlement under the Retirement Plan and any pension entitlement
from the Gulf States Utilities Company Trusteed Retirement Plan, a
plan sponsored by his prior employer. 

Fourteen AEP System employees (including Messrs. DeMaria, Maloney
and Lhota and Dr. Markowsky) whose pensions may be adversely
affected by amendments to the Retirement Plan made as a result of
the Tax Reform Act of 1986 are eligible for certain supplemental
retirement benefits. Such payments, if any, will be equal to any
reduction occurring because of such amendments. Assuming retirement
in 1998 of the executive officers named in the Summary Compensation
Table, only Messrs. DeMaria and Maloney would be affected and their
annual supplemental benefit would be $491 and $3,847, respectively. 

AEP made available a voluntary deferred-compensation program in
1982 and 1986, which permitted certain members of AEP System
management to defer receipt of a portion of their salaries. Under
this program, a participant was able to defer up to 10% or 15%
annually (depending on the terms of the program offered), over a
four-year period, of his or her salary, and receive supplemental
retirement or survivor benefit payments over a 15-year period. The
amount of supplemental retirement payments received is dependent
upon the amount deferred, age at the time the deferral election was
made, and number of years until the participant retires.  The
following table sets forth, for the executive officers named in the
Summary Compensation Table, the amounts of annual deferrals and,
assuming payments commencing at age 65, annual supplemental
retirement payments under the 1982 and 1986 programs.

ITEM 9. WHOLESALE GENERATORS AND FOREIGN UTILITY COMPANIES

    Part I.

(a)  Nanyang General Light Electric Co., Ltd. (NGLE) was formed as a 70%
     owned subsidiary by AEP Resources, Inc. through its AEP Resources
     International, Ltd. and AEP Resources Project Management Company, Ltd.
     subsidiaries who own AEP Pushan Power, LDC, (Pushan) NGLE's 70% parent
     on November 14, 1996.  NGLE is domiciled in the People's Republic of
     China and its business address is Dayuan Zhaun Village, Pushan Town,
     Nanyang City, People's Republic of China.  At December 31, 1997, the
     Company had invested $60.8 million in the construction of a two unit
     generating facility.  The total cost of the facility is estimated to be
     $190 million.

     In April 1997 AEP Resources, Inc. and New Century Energies, Inc. through
     an equally owned joint venture, Yorkshire Power Group Limited, acquired
     all of the outstanding shares of Yorkshire Electricity Group plc,
     (Yorkshire) an electric distribution company in the United Kingdom.  The
     business address of Yorkshire is Wetherby Road, Scarcroft, Leeds LS14
     3HS, Great Britain.  Yorkshire is one of twelve regional electricity
     companies in England and Wales licensed to distribute, supply and, to a
     limited extent, generate electricity.  Yorkshire's two principal
     businesses are the "distribution business" and the "supply business".
     Yorkshire's distribution business consists of the distribution of
     electricity to approximately two million residential, commercial and
     industrial customers in its franchise area.  Yorkshire's supply
     business consists of the purchase and supply of electricity primarily
     to customers within the franchise area.  Yorkshire owns, manages and
     operates the electricity distribution network within the franchise area.
     The primary activity of the distribution business is the receipt of
     electricity from the national grid transmission system and its
     distribution to end users connected to Yorkshire's distribution network.
     Since the distribution business is substantially a regulated monopoly,
     virtually all electricity supplied (whether by Yorkshire's supply 
     business or by any other suppliers) to consumers within the franchise
     area is transported through Yorkshire's distribution network.  Yorkshire
     also conducts ancillary business activities apart from the distribution
     and supply businesses that are not subject to price regulation, such as
     owning an interest in an off-shore gas field, supplying gas in the
     competitive market and holding interests in power generation.  AEP
     Resources, Inc.'s 50% interest is recorded using the equity method of
     accounting.

(b)  NGLE has registered capital.  Pushan owns 70% of the registered capital
     and 30% is owned by two unaffiliated companies.  Pushan contributed
     $13,753,000 for its 70% interest through the end of 1997.  AEP
     Resources Delaware, Inc., another AEP Resources, Inc.
     subsidiary, had loaned $27,764,000 to NGLE at December 31, 1997.<PAGE>
     AEP Resources, Inc. had contributed $362,983,000 to Yorkshire Power
     Group Limited for its 50% interest in Yorkshire through December 31, 1997.

(c)  NGLE's debt to common equity ratio was 2.1 to 1 at December 31, 1997.
     A net loss of $16,000 was recorded by NGLE for the year ended December
     31, 1997.  Yorkshire Power Group Limited's debt to common equity ratio was
     1.3 to 1 at December 31, 1997.  It reported a net loss of $151,237,000
     including an extraordinary loss of $218,838,000 for the nine months
     ended December 31, 1997.
 
(d)  NGLE has a consulting services contract with AEP Resources Service Company
     where they will advise NGLE on construction, engineering, start up and
     personnel issues related to its generating facility which is under

      AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER COMPANY, INC. 
                     AND 
         ITS CONSOLIDATED AFFILIATES

    TAX AGREEMENT UNDER TITLE 17, CHAPTER II
  OF THE CODE OF FEDERAL REGULATIONS PARAGRAPH
   (C) OF SECTION 250.45 REGARDING METHOD OF
     ALLOCATING CONSOLIDATED INCOME TAXES

	The below listed affiliated companies, joining in the annual
filing of a consolidated federal income tax return with American
Electric Power Company, Inc., agree to allocate the consolidated
annual net current federal income tax liability and/or benefit
to the members of the consolidated group in accordance with the
following procedures:

	(1)  The consolidated regular federal income tax, exclusive of
capital gains and preference taxes and before the application of
credits including investment tax credits, shall be apportioned
among the members of the consolidated group based on corporate
taxable income.  Loss companies shall be included in the
allocation, receiving a negative tax allocation which is similar
to a separate return carryback refund, before considering
investment tax credit, which would have resulted had the loss
company historically filed a separate return.

	(2)  The corporate taxable income of each member of the group
shall be first reduced by its proportionate share of American
Electric Power Company, Inc.'s (the holding company) tax loss in
arriving at adjusted corporate taxable income for each member of
the group with positive taxable income.

	(3)  To the extent that the consolidated and corporate taxable
incomes include material items taxed at rates other than the
statutory tax rate (such as capital gains and preference items),
the portion of the consolidated tax attributable to these items
shall be apportioned directly to the members of the group giving
rise to such items.

	(4)  Consolidated investment tax credits utilized shall be
apportioned to each member of the consolidated group by applying
the current statutory maximum investment tax credit limitation
to each member's allocated portion of the consolidated regular
federal income tax plus the tax on items taxed at rates other
than the statutory rate which can be offset by investment tax
credits as apportioned in procedures (1) and (3) above.  Members
generating current corporate tax losses shall be allocated a
negative investment tax credit by applying the current statutory
maximum investment tax credit limitation to their net negative
allocation resulting from procedures (1) and (3) above.  The
positive credit apportioned to each member with corporate
taxable income shall be limited to that member's total available
corporate investment tax credit inclusive of carryforwards
generated by such member.  Any difference between the total of
each member's allocated investment tax credit, in accordance
with the above procedures and the total consolidated investment
tax credit shall be allocated to the members of the consolidated
group with remaining corporate investment tax credit available,
inclusive of tax loss companies, in proportion to the corporate
credit available to each member, again limiting the credit
allocated to each member to the remaining corporate credit
available to that member.  The negative investment tax credit
allocated to member companies with tax losses is similar to a
reversal of investment tax credits utilized in prior years which
would have resulted from a net operating tax loss carryback had
the loss company filed a separate return.  This reversal or
negative investment tax credit will reduce the credit tax
allocated to the loss company in procedure (1).  Any negative
credit reversals allocated to a member generating a corporate
tax loss will be added to that member's available corporate
credit for future allocations.

	(5)  Any special benefits other than investment tax credits
shall be allocated directly to the members of the consolidated
group giving rise to them.

	(6)  Should the consolidated group generate a net operating
tax loss for a calendar year, special procedures shall be adopted to
allocate the resultant consolidated carryback refund or the
reduction in consolidated net current federal income taxes,
which will result in future years when the carryforward tax
losses are applied to reduce consolidated taxable income.  The
tax benefits of any resultant carryback shall be allocated
proportionately to member companies that generated corporate tax
losses in the year the consolidated net operating loss was
generated.  Any related loss of credits, including investment
tax credit reversals, shall be allocated to the member companies
that utilized the credits in the prior year in the same
proportion that the credit lost is to the total credit utilized
in the prior year.  Investment tax credit reversals allocated to
a member will be added to that member's available corporate
investment tax credit for future allocations.  A prior year
consolidated net operating tax loss carryfoward applied to
reduce current year consolidated taxable income shall be
allocated proportionately to member companies that generated a
corporate tax loss in the year the consolidated net operating
tax loss was generated.

	(7)  A member with a net positive tax allocation shall pay 
the holding company the net amount allocated, while a tax loss
member with a net negative tax allocation shall receive current
payment from the holding company in the amount of its negative
allocation.  The payment made to a member with a tax loss should
equal the amount by which the consolidated tax is reduced by
including the member's net corporate tax loss in the
consolidated tax return.  The holding company shall pay to the
Internal Revenue Service the consolidated group's net current
federal income tax liability from the net of the receipts and
payments.

	(8)  No member of the consolidated group shall be allocated a
federal income tax which is greater than the federal income tax
computed as if such member had filed a separate return.

	Any current state tax liability and/or benefit associated with
a state tax return involving more than one member of the
consolidated group, shall be allocated to such members following
the principles set forth above for current federal income taxes.
 Due to certain states utilizing a unitary approach, the
consolidated return liability may exceed the sum of the
liabilities computed for each company on a separate return
basis.  If this occurs, the excess of the consolidated liability
over the sum of the separate return liabilities shall be
allocated proportionally based on each member's contribution to
the consolidated apportionment percentage.  If additional tax is
attributable to a significant transaction or event, such
additional tax shall be allocated directly to the members who
are party to said transaction or event.

	This agreement is subject to revision as a result of changes in
federal and state tax law and relevant facts and circumstances.

	The above procedures for apportioning the consolidated annual
net current federal and state tax liabilities and expenses of
American Electric Power Company, Inc. and its consolidating
affiliates have been agreed to by each of the below listed
members of the consolidated group as evidenced by the signature
of an officer of each company.

EXHIBIT E DOCUMENT:
Employee Equipment Installation Program

In the belief that the actions of our employees are examples for
our customers and that employees play an important role in
demonstrating efficient electric concepts, AEPSC offers an
Employee Equipment Installation Program.  The availability of
this program within an operating company is subject to
legislative limitations existing within each state.  All
operating companies and AEP subsidiaries (Fuel Supply, United
Mine Workers, Barge Division, etc.) may offer active employees an
Equipment Installation Program.  This is available to regular,
active employees, including those who do not receive retail
electric service from an AEP operating Company.

Two Equipment Installation Program options for employees are
available.  These are as follows:

Option #1

The company will finance approved HVAC equipment installations
for heat pumps and dual fuel heat pump at 2% simple interest per
annum.  

Note - The 2% financing option may NOT be available in all
operating companies due to regulatory restrictions.

The minimum finance rate of 2.0% is offered in lieu of any sort
of company sponsored employee rebate/installation allowance
program.  

Employees that prefer a cash rebate and/or installation allowance
may opt for Option #2.

Option #2

The company will offer a rebate and/or an equipment installation
allowance.  The difference between allowances for employees
converting from fossil fuel or constructing a new home and
allowances for employees with existing electric heat helps offset
the cost of adding breakers/increasing switch gear size.  The
allowances are as follows:

          For Employees With Existing Electric Heat
               Heat Pump                $300 Allowance
               Dual Fuel Heat Pump      $200 Allowance

               For Employees Without Electric Heat Or
               Constructing A New Home
               Heat Pump                $600 Allowance
               Dual Fuel Heat Pump      $400 Allowance

If an employee selects this Option #2 rebate/installation
allowance, a minimum loan of not less than 8% simple interest per
annum (maximum term 10 years) can be offered for any HVAC system
that meets company specifications.  

Generally speaking, program Options #1 and #2 will be available
to all active, regular, employees of any AEP System Company or
subsidiary but only for their primary residence.

Employees on Long-Term Disability (LTD) cannot apply for
participation in a finance program until such time as they return
to an active employee status; however, such employees are
eligible to receive the rebate/installation allowance under
Option #2.  The operating company that is the employer of the
employees will be responsible for implementing this program for
their employee regardless of where the employee lives. 
Accounting instructions issued by AEPSC Treasury Staff and C&MS
Department Policy memos have been issued for these programs. 
Only those equipment installation options that can be financed or
receive rebates for employees by an operating company are:

Equipment Efficiency and Control Requirements

* High Efficiency Heat Pump (minimum SEER rating of 10).
* Dual Fuel Heat Pumps (Efficiency minimum same as high
efficiency heat pump criteria listed above).

Repayment of finance Options #1 and #2 should be made through
payroll deductions.  The period for any loan cannot exceed ten
years.

Repayment of loans by persons on Long-Term Disability or
employees called to active duty by the armed forces will be
deferred until such time as the employee returns to active
status.  A loan will not exceed the installed cost of the
equipment to be financed and may include the cost of wiring but
exclude any physical modification to the home and/or major
ductwork installation except for minor ductwork modifications
required by an equipment replacement.

Retiree/Surviving Spouse Allowance Program

AEP System retirees or their surviving spouses will be eligible
to receive the rebate/wiring allowance Portion of Option #2. 
Eligibility for this group is limited only to those retirees or
their surviving spouses who are retail customers of an AEP
operating company that offers the program.  Also, the rebate is a
one-time payment for a retiree/surviving spouse and is applicable
only for their principle place of residence.
