In the company’s own words

PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) operates as a regulated utility holding company headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania, serving customers across multiple states through its principal subsidiaries. The company's website is www.pplweb.com.

PPL delivers electricity to customers in Pennsylvania, Kentucky, Virginia, and Rhode Island, while also providing natural gas distribution services in Kentucky and Rhode Island. The company generates electricity from power plants located in Kentucky. PPL's business is organized into three reportable segments: Kentucky Regulated, Pennsylvania Regulated, and Rhode Island Regulated, which collectively generated approximately $9.1 billion in operating revenues during 2025.

The Kentucky Regulated segment, representing the largest portion of operations, consists primarily of Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company. This segment generated $3.8 billion in revenues and serves approximately 1.4 million customers across 8,000 square miles. LG&E provides electric service to approximately 443,000 customers and natural gas service to approximately 336,000 customers in Louisville and surrounding counties. KU provides electric service to approximately 553,000 customers in Kentucky and approximately 28,000 customers in Virginia.

The Pennsylvania Regulated segment operates PPL Electric Utilities Corporation, which delivers electricity to approximately 1.5 million customers across 10,000 square miles in 29 counties of eastern and central Pennsylvania. This segment generated $3.1 billion in revenues. PPL Electric operates as a regulated distribution monopoly and provides electricity supply to retail customers as a Provider of Last Resort under Pennsylvania's Customer Choice Act.
