Spokeswoman Melissa McHenry says the utility, based in Columbus, Ohio, has given workers until the end of the month to make a decision. AEP says it will resort to layoffs if there are too few takers.

AEPs sales dropped 6 percent in 2009, including a decline of nearly 16 percent for industrial customers.
AEP employees learned of the buyout offer in a letter from CEO Michael Morris.
CEO Mike Morris has said the company sees a modest turnaround happening this year, but most economists predict any broad economic recovery will be slow.

AEP is one of the nations largest power generators, with more than 5 million customers.
