In plain English
PPL is a pure-play regulated power-and-gas delivery company: it owns the poles, wires, pipes and (in Kentucky) the power plants that serve about 3.6 million homes and businesses across Pennsylvania, Kentucky and Rhode Island. After years of reshaping — buying LG&E and KU in Kentucky, selling its UK grid to National Grid and buying Rhode Island's utility in return, and spinning off its merchant power fleet as Talen — it now earns a state-approved return on a fast-growing capital plan, with a Blackstone joint venture building new generation for Pennsylvania data centres.
