Case Study: American Electric Power achieves automated compliance across 40+ sites and saves hundreds of hours with Cority

American Electric Power Uses Cority to Monitor and Automate Compliance Activities Across 40+ Sites

American Electric Power (AEP), one of the largest electricity suppliers in the U.S. with 40+ sites and 17,000+ employees, faced the challenge of managing thousands of compliance‑related tasks and complex regulatory reporting across federal programs like TRI, Title V and CCR. To centralize data and streamline reporting, AEP has used Cority EHS software (Cority One™) since 2003 to gain visibility into inspections, emissions data and regulatory activities.

Cority implemented a compliance calendar, automated notifications, mobile task completion, dashboards and API integrations to centralize emissions data and automate report generation. Using Cority, AEP monitors roughly 70,000–100,000 tasks yearly across 40+ sites, produces about 75 regulatory reports per year, and saved hundreds of hours annually—avoiding an estimated $800,000 in custom development—while improving continuity, real‑time visibility and proactive environmental decision‑making.
