PPL Corporation

Our operating companies are proud to support economic development in the regions we serve as we focus on creating the utilities of the future. LG&E and KU Energy LLC, our Kentucky subsidiaries, today proposed significant new generation investments to allow us to continue to safely, reliably and affordably serve our customers as demand increases and business expands in the Bluegrass State.

PPL is committed to supporting our neighbors and empowering the communities we serve. Our employees and retirees, together with matching contributions from PPL’s affiliated foundations, pledged nearly $9 million during PPL’s annual employee-led charitable giving campaign. These contributions will support nearly 500 local nonprofit organizations throughout Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Kentucky and Virginia. Employees and retirees from PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries, PPL Electric Utilities, Rhode Island Energy and LG&E and KU Energy LLC contributed to the campaign. More than 700 employees also volunteered their time in September 2024 during PPL’s company-wide Day of Caring events, which directly benefited organizations in their local communities.

Earlier this week, PPL employees ushered in “The Year of the Snake” with Hays Elementary School students as part of their #LunarNewYear Celebration. It’s always great to spend time with the tremendous kids and talented staff at Hays, and we’re proud to support their many special engaging and educational events throughout the year! #EmpoweringCommunities

Each year, the PPL Foundation recognizes outstanding and innovative science teachers at schools across our PPL Electric Utilities service area through its STEM Educator Awards. “Highly skilled problem solvers and innovative thinkers are essential to delivering life-sustaining services like energy affordably and reliably,” said Lissette Santana, president of the PPL Foundation. “That’s why we’re recognizing outstanding teachers who are inspiring their students and giving them the education they’ll need to develop a successful career in a STEM field.” This year’s recipients are: Marissa Schwartz (Manheim Township Middle School), Emily Book (Greenwood Elementary School), Jeanne Ladner (Danville Middle School) and Dylan Fedell (Palisades High School) Read more about this year’s recipients and the grant program here: https://spr.ly/6045x6lAl
