The Oklaunion Power plant in Vernon, TX faced droughts, heat waves, market changes, and even a tornado in its 34 years of operation. The coal fired power plant began operation on December 24, 1986 and had its fair share of accomplishments during its tenure. Power Industry Division, POWID, named the plant the most technologically advanced plant in the nation in 1994.

The facility has embraced the LEAN (Continuous Improvement) culture and has realized many one time and sustainable savings. Oklaunion officially became part of American Electric Power in 2000 when AEP completed the merger with Central and South West. Unfortunately, the increase demand for wind, solar, and natural gas lead to the plant officially being retired on September 30th, 2020.
