Required collateral formats
Based upon an evaluation of financial information provided with the registration
application, AEP will determine whether a given Supplier is creditworthy.
If a provider has an investment grade rating by two out of four rating agencies
(Standard & Poor's, Moody's, Duff & Phelp's or Fitch), it may be granted
an unsecured credit limit. If a Supplier does not have an investment grade
rating by at least two of the above mentioned agencies, the provider must
supply either a parent guaranty, an irrevocable letter of credit, a surety
bond or cash deposit. The following files contain the required and only acceptable
formats for financial instruments to be used if AEP notifies you that you
must provide collateral.
