NEW YORK, Nov 2 (Reuters) - American Electric Power Co Inc planned to work on the 690-megawatt Oklaunion coal-fired power station in Texas on Oct. 31-Nov.

10, the company told Texas regulators in a report. The company planned to shut the unit on Oct. 30-31 for boiler inspection and repair. The company did not say when the unit would return to service. The Oklaunion plant, which entered service in 1986, is located in Oklaunion in Wilbarger County about 190 miles northwest of Dallas. One MW powers about 500 homes in Texas. AEP's regulated subsidiary, AEP Public Service Co of Oklahoma, operates the station for its owners: Brownsville Public Utilities Board (18 percent), Oklahoma Municipal Power Authority (11.7 percent), AEP Public Service Co of Oklahoma (15.6 percent) and AEP Texas North Co (54.7 percent). AEP, of Columbus, Ohio, owns and operates more than 38,000 MW of generating capacity, markets energy commodities, and transmits and distributes electricity to more than 5 million customers in 11 states.
