**Section 8 - Other Events**

**Item 8.01 Other Events**

On October 28, 2025, the Kentucky Public Service Commission ("KPSC") issued an order in the regulatory proceeding commenced in February 2025 of Louisville Gas and Electric Company ("LG&E") and Kentucky Utilities Company ("KU", and collectively with LG&E, the "Companies") applying for certificates of public convenience and necessity ("CPCN") and other approvals regarding several new generation facilities and construction related matters.

The KPSC's order approved much of the Companies' July 2025 stipulation and recommendation previously entered into with several of the intervenors in the CPCN proceeding (the "stipulation"), with certain modifications.

The KPSC's order granted the Companies' requested CPCNs and site-related permits to construct the proposed (i) E.W. Brown Unit 12, a 645 MW natural gas combined-cycle ("NGCC") generation unit, (ii) Mill Creek Unit 6, a 645 MW NGCC generation unit, and (iii) Ghent Unit 2's selective catalytic reduction ("SCR") environmental facility. The order authorized inclusion of relevant costs of Ghent Unit 2's SCR in the Companies' existing environmental cost recovery rate mechanism. The order established a separate monitoring case to receive and consider information during the construction of Mill Creek Unit 6.

The order approved requests regarding regulatory asset deferral accounting treatment for certain allowance-for-funds-used-during-construction related amounts, and noted the KPSC's expectation that the stipulating parties would follow through with their commitments regarding tariffs and power supply contracts related to potential future data center or high load customers in the Companies' pending rate proceedings. The order also approved other elements of the stipulation or the originally-filed application, with minor modifications.

The KPSC decided not to approve the Companies' proposed new rate adjustment cost recovery mechanisms for certain costs associated with Mill Creek Unit 6 and costs associated with operating the Mill Creek 2 coal unit beyond its original retirement date in 2027. However, the denials were without prejudice to resubmission and the KPSC encouraged the Companies to provide additional evidence on such matters in separate proceedings. The Companies are evaluating next steps including addressing recovery of such costs in the Companies' pending rate case proceedings. The KPSC declined to rule on a matter related to the retirement date of Mill Creek Unit 2.

In light of the conditional withdrawal in the previously announced stipulation agreement, the order did not include a CPCN for a Cane Run battery energy storage system ("BESS"). LG&E and KU retain the right to seek approval of the Cane Run BESS project or similar substitute projects in future regulatory proceedings.

The KPSC's order is subject to certain rights to request rehearing or appeal by the Companies and all intervenors.

The Companies continue to evaluate the order and related matters and cannot predict the outcome should the Companies or other parties decide to appeal or request a rehearing of these matters.

A copy of the Companies' press release is filed as Exhibit 99.1.

*Statements in this report regarding future events and their timing, including statements as to future costs or expenses, regulation, corporate strategy and performance, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although PPL Corporation and the Companies believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations, assumptions and statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: subsequent phases of rate proceedings and regulatory cost recovery; market demand and prices for electricity and natural gas; political, regulatory or economic conditions in states and regions where the Companies conduct business; final negotiated terms and conditions in any prospective contracts and the progress of actual construction, purchase or installation of assets or operations. All forward-looking statements should be considered in light of these important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation's and the Companies' Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.*

**Press Release**

October 30, 2025

**LG&E and KU receive approval on plans** 

**to meet Kentucky's growing energy needs**

*KPSC approves utilities' requests to add new generation* 

(LOUISVILLE, Ky.) – Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company received approval October 28 from the Kentucky Public Service Commission (KPSC) to add new generation that will support LG&E and KU's ability to continue serving customers safely and reliably, while keeping pace with Kentucky's record-breaking economic development needs.

In its order, the KPSC granted LG&E and KU, subsidiaries of PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL), the authority to construct two new, highly efficient 645-megawatt natural gas combined-cycle units, Mill Creek 6 and Brown 12, and upgrade environmental technologies for Unit 2 at Ghent Generating Station by installing a selective catalytic reduction facility.

"This is an exciting time for Kentucky as the interest in locating new and expanding businesses continues to grow," said John R. Crockett III, LG&E and KU President. "These generation projects help ensure we continue to safely and reliably serve all customers and new economic development growth in the lowest reasonable cost manner."

Unprecedented economic growth in the commonwealth prompted LG&E and KU to request approval on February 28 for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) from the Commission for the two natural gas combined-cycle units, the upgraded environmental controls on Ghent Unit 2 and the installation of more battery storage.

The utilities then reached on July 29 a stipulation agreement with key intervening parties to the case. The agreement supported a majority of the generation projects initially proposed but withdrew the proposed battery storage project, with the right to file a future CPCN if necessary, and extended the operation of the Mill Creek 2 coal unit beyond its previously planned 2027 retirement date until Mill Creek 6 is in-service in 2031.

The stipulation agreement was reached with the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Kentucky; Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Inc., Southern Renewable Energy Association and the Kentucky Coal Association, Inc.

In the order, the Commission did not rule on extending the operation of Mill Creek Unit 2 because authority to retire the unit in 2027 had been previously granted and instead could consider a later retirement in the future. In addition, the Commission decided not to approve two proposed rate mechanisms as part of the case but noted the mechanisms could be included for review in other proceedings.

LG&E and KU expect to have the first unit, Brown 12, available in 2030 and the second unit, Mill Creek 6, available in 2031. The Ghent 2 SCR is expected to be available in 2028.

LG&E and KU appreciate the collaborative efforts of the parties to this proceeding, as the utilities look to meet the growing energy needs in the Commonwealth, and look forward to continuing to work with the KPSC on the items not approved in its order.

**About LG&E and KU's generation fleet**

LG&E and KU currently have more than 7,200 megawatts of power generation capacity comprising coal-fired, natural gas, solar and hydro, and an all-of-the-above approach to their generation fleet that's flexible and one of the most reliable in the nation. The utilities dispatch least-cost generation first, and this balanced generation approach gives the utilities the flexibility to hedge against fuel price increases for customers, while continuing to ensure safe, reliable and affordable service.
