Dear colleagues,Coronavirus has presented the world with a challenge unlike any of us have seen before, and as the communities we serve �ght this virus, our work is more important than ever.

We are powering life-sustaining businesses and lives upended by new social distancing norms. Across our business, our team of 12,000 strong continues to do what we do best – deliver electricity and gas safely and reliably to our customers.

In my experience, I �nd that it’s in the most chaotic times that PPL really shines – and this unprecedented challenge is no different. We have implemented plans to help keep employees and their families safe and healthy, committed to keeping the power on for vulnerable customers, and provided additional assistance for those struggling �nancially as a result of the current crisis.

As PPL employees, you have answered every challenge with strength, determination and creativity, and I couldn’t be prouder of how we’ve responded. Whether you are manning our 24/7 control centers, performing crucial work in the �eld, or are hard at work in our o�ces, power plants or a makeshift o�ce at home, I appreciate all you are doing to keep our operations running and our service reliable.

It is certainly not business as usual, and no doubt di�cult days lie ahead, but I know we will rise to the challenge as has been our history for 100 years.

I wish you and your families the best as we work through this together.

Thank you,

Bill Spence PPL Chairman and Chief Executive O�cer

protectedSafety has always been a top priority for PPL and its family of companies, so it’s no surprise that the companies responded swiftly to the coronavirus outbreak to protect our employees and customers.

As the COVID-19 virus began its spread across the globe, pandemic planning teams in Pennsylvania, Kentucky and the United Kingdom were already implementing measures to help protect the health and safety of our employees, including travel restrictions, noti�cation requirements to report exposure risk, heightened cleaning efforts and visitor restrictions. In addition, coronavirus information websites were activated to keep employees and contractors informed of company updates and important resources.

As social distancing measures were implemented in the regions we serve, thousands of PPL employees were asked to work from home to limit their potential exposure. To make this effort successful, Information Technology departments across the company sprang into action, building out hundreds of laptops and making sure employees were equipped to work remotely. Employees started using Zoom, WebEx, and Microsoft Teams as their primary means of communication, making it easier for departments and work groups to meet virtually in a face-to-face environment.

With about 30% of our total workforce working from home, employees needed to be even more vigilant to cyber threats. Layering

on new cybersecurity measures helped protect our operating systems and information from cyber threats.

Maintaining reliable electricity isn’t just a priority, but a necessity, as our health care system literally depends on it. In order to continue our reliable service, many employees remained in control centers, o�ces, plants and the �eld to execute necessary work under guidelines to spread out, work in smaller groups and wear personal protective equipment like face masks. Additionally, managers, employees and contractors have been instructed to monitor employees’ health based on CDC guidelines and track illness with Human Resources.

For our �eld workers, our companies have stressed the importance of social distancing from customers and other members of the public, and we’ve enhanced our general hygiene and sanitizing procedures. All non-essential in-home service calls have been stopped. Those who must perform critical in-home safety work, including gas emergency calls, are taking additional safety measures and have been trained to wear increased personal protective equipment, including respirator masks, protective suits and face shields.

“While we have a duty to deliver reliable energy to our customers, employee safety and health will always be our top priority,” said PPL President and Chief Operating

O�cer Vince Sorgi. “Our goal is to help our employees stay healthy and safe during this global pandemic.”

For customers facing hardships, our companies implemented additional customer assistance measures. In Pennsylvania and Kentucky, our companies suspended service disconnects for unpaid bills and waived new late payment fees. Customer assistance programs, including bill payment support, were reinforced and, in some cases, received additional funding.

In Pennsylvania, the PPL Foundation announced a $500,000 donation to Operation HELP, a program that helps customers struggling with energy bills due to �nancial hardships. The program is funded by voluntary employee and customer contributions. The PPL Foundation also donated $300,000 to a dozen agencies providing COVID-19 relief across central and eastern Pennsylvania.

In Kentucky, the LG&E and KU Foundation has contributed more than $225,000 for COVID-19 relief. In Lexington, the Foundation teamed up with more than a dozen other businesses and organizations to support the Coronavirus Response Fund to provide residents with access to food, prescriptions, health care, childcare and other basic needs. In the Louisville area, the foundation joined other organizations to initiate the One Louisville: COVID-19 Response Fund, a community-wide coalition that will rapidly deploy resources to individuals and community-based

organizations working at the front lines of the region’s coronavirus outbreak.

The foundation also contributed to both the Center for Nonpro�t Excellence and the Kentucky Nonpro�t Network, which are support organizations helping the nonpro�t sector navigate through this crisis period. And statewide, LG&E and KU helped jump-start the Team Kentucky Fund, Gov. Andy Beshear’s fundraising platform designed to provide �nancial assistance to Kentuckians whose employment has been affected by COVID-19.

In the U.K., Western Power Distribution launched its £500,000 “In This Together - Community Matters Fund” to support community organizations affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

“I’m proud to say that across the company, we have donated over $1.5 million to COVID-19 relief funds in the U.S. and the U.K.,” Sorgi said. “As our employees have worked to keep themselves and their loved ones safe, they have continued to support our local communities with employee-led fundraising efforts. In times like these, PPL employees really shine and come together to support those in need. I am extremely proud of how well we have responded thus far, and while this event continues to challenge our whole way of life, I know we will come out the other side a stronger company.”

In a move that is the �rst of its kind in Kentucky’s history, Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities announced an agreement in January that would procure and supply an additional 100 megawatts of solar power to Kentucky customers.

The project, if granted approval from the Kentucky Public Service Commission, involves the construction of what would be the largest solar array in the state. LG&E and KU would buy 100% of the power from that solar facility and supply most of the renewable energy under separate contracts to two of the utilities’ largest industrial customers: Toyota Motor Manufacturing, Kentucky, Inc. in Georgetown, which is Toyota’s largest manufacturing facility in the world, and Dow Silicones Corporation, which operates a facility in Carrollton.

“This is historic,” said John Bevington, LG&E and KU director of Business and Economic Development. “It’s a prototype for serving the renewable energy needs of our existing customers and economic development prospects as they consider expanding and locating in Kentucky.”

LG&E and KU have �led with the KPSC for approval on the 20-year contracts for the project, which would supply Toyota with 50% of the solar facility’s energy output and Dow with 25%. The remaining 25% will be used to serve the utilities’ electric customers. Due to the variable nature of the renewable energy, to ensure reliability, all customers will continue to be served by LG&E and KU’s other generating resources around the clock.

The project began to come together last summer, after the KPSC issued an approval of the utilities’ Green Tariff, rolling the Green Energy and Business Solar programs under one tariff and offering a third choice, a “Renewable Power Agreement.” This provided a perfect option for large industrial customers interested in purchasing renewable power.

“We are responding to our customers’ requests for renewable energy,” said Chuck Schram, director of Power Supply. “Helping our customers succeed by supporting their corporate sustainability efforts is important to our company and the commonwealth.”

Both Toyota and Dow are excited about using more renewable energy. Toyota o�cials say the project supports their global Toyota Environmental Challenge 2050 to eliminate all carbon emissions from manufacturing by the middle of the century. Leaders at Dow say the agreement brings them closer to their 2025 sustainability goal of securing at least 750 megawatts of clean energy.

The solar facility is expected to be completed and commercially available by 2022, and both Schram and Bevington agree that more contracts like this could be on the way.

“I expect more interest not just from our existing customers, but from future customers who will locate to Kentucky because they have these alternatives,” said Bevington. “It’s just another good way to showcase the advantages of being in Kentucky.”

KKentucky Habitat for Humanity shares the gift of solar energy with

familiesOn a frosty December 2019 morning at a small shotgun home in Louisville’s Portland neighborhood, o�cials with Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities and Kentucky Habitat for Humanity (KYHFH) announced a new, innovative partnership that will use locally produced solar energy to help eligible Habitat families offset a portion of their utility bill for 25 years.

LG&E and KU worked with the nonpro�t and devised a solution through the company’s Solar Share Program that bridges the �nancial gap between investing in renewable energy and sharing the bene�ts with families who otherwise may not be able to afford it.

“We knew the success of the partnership required process changes at LG&E and KU and Habitat for Humanity,” said Lisa Keels, manager of Emerging Business Delivery.

The solution became known as “gifting,” and it �rst required approval last year by the Kentucky Public Service Commission to change the company’s tariff.

“It takes a signi�cant amount of collaboration and effort internally to ultimately create a request for a tariff change,” said Mike Hornung, manager of Pricing and Tariffs. “This project was a great example of the company working with and listening to our customers and was well-received by the commission, allowing for an expedient approval order.”

Solar Share participants, like KYHFH, can now “gift” — or transfer — monthly bill credits generated through their subscription to another person, business or nonpro�t organization.

Habitat’s commitment and other program subscribers cleared the way for LG&E and KU to construct the next 1,400-panel, 500-kilowatt section of the company’s Solar Share facility.

“Business partners in the area can include the Solar Share gifting option as part of their sustainability, community services and corporate responsibility objectives,” said Keels.

In this instance, KYHFH subscribed to 180 shares in the program, and the earned bill credits through its subscription will be transferred to 10 eligible families across Kentucky with a goal to offset as much as

30% of their monthly energy usage. The home used to host the partnership announcement is owned by Amber Mullins, the �rst recipient family identi�ed by KYHFH and its local a�liate partner.

“As an employee who was born and raised in Kentucky, I have seen �rsthand the struggles within parts of our community,” said Hornung. “It is a great feeling to be able to creatively work with organizations like Habitat for Humanity to increase the quality of life of individual families, and this new gifting structure will allow other customers and organizations to better support the communities we serve.”

When customers in one town in the East Midlands region of England experienced an above-average number of power cuts, Western Power Distribution was sure to resolve the issue.

But the company soon found out that it would take great lengths and rare actions to ensure reliable service for residents in Kirkby-in-Ash�eld, a town in Nottinghamshire.

WPD had to replace nearly a mile of fault-prone, low-voltage underground cable that had been damaged due to waterlogging.

The existing mains cables, which had also been weakened by joints from previous repairs, have now been replaced with the latest speci�cations. The mammoth overlaying operation took more than six months to complete. The last cable was installed in December 2019.

“Historically, there was more than the average number of faults on the network,” WPD Planner

Mike Stratton said. “It got to the point where we couldn’t just keep patching it. The decision was made to overlay the network, which meant completely replacing the cables and reconnecting existing services.

“It is quite rare for us to encounter a situation where we have to go to these lengths to re-lay that amount of cable and transfer the services,” Stratton said. “But the existing cable was continually faulting and it couldn’t be resolved any other way. We suspect there were issues not only with waterlogging but with the joints, arising from numerous repairs. The job was quite involved in terms of sheer numbers: there was a lot of cable, a lot of joints and a lot of customers, and that called for a lot of coordination.”

The project not only boosts the network’s resilience but also is helping to prepare Kirkby-in-Ash�eld for the demands of a decarbonized future. As the U.K. moves toward a net zero carbon target,

Kirkby-in-Ash�eld – and towns and cities across the U.K. – will need greater network capacity for devices such as car chargers, heat pumps and solar panels.

As a result of the project, area customers will no longer suffer power cuts because of the old waterlogged cable – the new cable has fewer joints and the new joints are less susceptible to water. The addition of three new link boxes will enable supplies to be re-routed and restored more quickly in the event of any future power cut. Previously, customers who went off supply could not be powered from an alternative source.

“We are really happy to have completed such a large-scale, cable overlay scheme with so few complications and with so many obvious bene�ts for customers,” WPD Southwell Team Manager Sally Spirrett said.

Louisville Gas & Electric and Kentucky Utilities’ Power Generation ®eet ranked among the top in its class in reliability in 2019, compared to its industry peers.

Reliability is the key factor in meeting customers’ electricity demands. It is measured by tracking the duration of a forced outage, which unexpectedly affects the unit’s operation. Power Generation achieved an excellent outage rate of 2.34%, while similar generating ®eets averaged a less favorable 4.71%.

The accomplishment is monumental considering LG&E and KU’s base ®eet of 11 clean-burning, coal-�red units are 30 to 60 years old. A high-e�ciency, combined-cycle natural gas unit; two hydroelectric plants; and 20 gas-�red combustion turbines also enhance generating capabilities and reliability. Even with the complexity and age of the ®eet, it’s no surprise that the companies’ 800-plus Power Generation employees achieved this level of operational excellence.

“Our dedicated employees are experts in their �elds and ingenious problem-solvers who react to challenges in real-time, while ensuring safety is �rst and �nancial goals are on target,” said Ralph Bowling, vice president-Power Generation. “Their skills and aggressive implementation of continuous-improvement and strategic initiatives have resulted in superb operations.”

Here are some of Power Generation’s key performance initiatives.

Planning. Detailed planning is key to all aspects of the generation operations and maintenance processes. For example, certain

maintenance activities on generating units require the unit to be taken out of service for extended periods to perform the work. The emphasis on planning and execution maximizes the quality and quantity of work performed during those periods.

Process improvement and standardization.Power Generation enlists hundreds of processes to support operations. Many have been �ne-tuned to maximize effectiveness, then standardized ®eetwide. For example, a plant’s alarm-management process identi�es and prioritizes operating unit alarms by the level of severity, preventing alarm “®ooding,” so the operator can focus on the most critical need in real-time and prioritize maintenance activities.

Data analytics. Business intelligence tools transform historical and current data into valuable information that supports tactical decision-making and operating improvements.

Strategic business partnerships. Strong working relationships and collaboration with

many internal partners and contractors support daily operations and long-term performance goals.

Workforce education. Aggressive training, primarily aimed at newer employees, is key to effectively replacing the talent of many retiring employees and to maintaining cutting-edge technical expertise and specialized skills in areas such as safety, compliance, cost management and leadership.

“LG&E and KU’s Power Generation employees are among the best in the industry,” said Bowling. “Generation met all of its 2019 goals and objectives, including safety, reliability and �nancial management. That speaks volumes to our employees’ talent and dedication, and I am extremely proud of them and their achievements.”

PPL’s companies makesure customers struggling to pay bills get help

Winter presents harsh challenges for many of our company’s customers. Less sunlight means lights are on for longer. And, of course, cold temperatures keep heat sources constantly churning.

Our companies oversee several programs that provide millions of dollars in assistance each year to customers struggling to pay their bills.

Here’s a look at some of those programs:

PPL Electric Utilities PPL Electric Utilities developed Operation HELP in 1983 to provide support to income-eligible families struggling with their energy bills.

Operation HELP assists the company’s highest-risk customers by providing grants for home heating bills, such as electricity, gas or oil. Applications for grants are processed through county assistance agencies, and funds raised by PPL’s employees, retirees and generous customers are paid directly to customers’ accounts. An Operation HELP grant typically ranges from $300 to $500 and can help a customer avoid an overdue balance after a cold winter.

Operation HELP has provided assistance to more than 104,000 families and has distributed more than $33 million over the last 37 years. In 2019, Operation Help provided 2,175 families with grants totaling of $1,058,279.

“We strive to help our must vulnerable customers keep their homes warm,” said Melinda Stumpf, manager of regulatory programs and business services. “We’re proud of our employees and customers who contribute to Operation HELP so struggling families receive the assistance they need.”

Louisville Gas and Electric, Kentucky Utilities and Old Dominion Power Community Winterhelp (Louisville Gas and Electric), WinterCare (Kentucky Utilities) and WinterShare (Old Dominion Power) are voluntarily funded programs that allow customers to assist others who need emergency assistance to pay their energy bills.

Donors can simply write in an additional dollar amount to be added to their bill payments each month or make monthly recurring contributions. The programs are administered through partnerships with Louisville Urban League, Lexington Community Action Council and Dollar Energy Fund. These agencies are responsible for determining which customers qualify for assistance. In 2019, the three programs received customer donations in excess of $174,000, which was then matched by company contributions, providing a total of $411,000 in energy bill assistance to more than 1,500 customers in crisis throughout the service territories in Kentucky and Virginia.

Western Power Distribution As a distribution company, Western Power Distribution doesn’t bill customers directly – but staff members still work hard to ensure help is given to customers in vulnerable circumstances.

Its main program is Power Up, which has grown from WPD’s commitment to contact all of the customers on its Priority Services Register (PSR) to ensure their details are up to date. Every customer contacted is given the opportunity to be referred to a Power Up project, all of which are run by expert partner agencies. They offer customers a range of income and energy e�ciency support and advice. WPD monitors the outcome of all referrals.

But not all customers in need are on the PSR. Under its Affordable Warmth programs, WPD works with expert partners operating in the most deprived areas. Affordable Warmth aims to �nd customers who are eligible to join the PSR and support those in fuel poverty with a range of practical support to tackle the root causes.

In 2018-19, the programs reached 17,764 customers with a combined savings of £6.4 million.

JESSICA ROSATO, ELIZABETH SIEBERT, LOUISE BIRKETT

caring for customers in need Have you ever had a customer service

experience that went so smoothly you were surprised?

Maybe you were able to speak to an actual human without jumping through hoops; maybe the agent on the line was exceptionally kind and helpful; or maybe, better yet, you were able to resolve your issue easily on the web before you even needed to pick up the phone.

Lori Mueller, vice president of Customer Services for PPL Electric Utilities, calls it “remarkably effortless.”

“No one enjoys calling any customer service department,” said Mueller. “We’ve come to expect a terrible experience. But on those rare occasions when everything works out, it’s noticeable. It’s the type of experience that’s so surprising you actually comment on it to the people around you.”

Building that type of experience for PPL’s customers and associates is the goal of the High Priority Initiative (HPI) that launched within Customer Services late last year.

Project teams are mapping every customer

touchpoint and reimagining the entire PPL customer journey. The goal is to make every interaction with PPL simpler, more intuitive and productive.

“Everything is on the table with this HPI,” said Phil Walnock, director, Customer Services Project Management, whose team is leading the department-wide effort. “We’re building a holistic experience for our customers; integrating and simplifying everything from our website to our phone system to the customer bill.”

There are several work streams in progress, but two main elements of the HPI stand out.

Teams, including representation from IT, Customer Services and relevant business partners, are redesigning the main PPL Electric Utilities website to be cleaner and mobile-friendly, and to make it easier for customers to self-serve.

“Most customers visit pplelectric.com for a purpose. They want to view their account or make a payment, report an outage or �nd ways to save on their bills. We’re going to make it easier for them to do that,” Walnock said.

The IVR (Interactive Voice Response) – the phone system that uses voice prompts to route customers to the contact center – also is being overhauled. The goal is to make the automated system more intuitive and helpful. Think Alexa or Siri, but for PPL.

“These days, customers expect a seamless experience – and our employees deserve to have the right systems in place so they can provide it,” Mueller said. “That’s what this HPI is all about.”

The teams aren’t waiting until all the work is done before launching the enhancements. Instead, they’re going live with improvements as they’re ready. That means customers are seeing the bene�ts of the HPI in real time.

“By this time next year, our customers will engage with us in entirely new ways,” Mueller said. “It’s going to be so simple – so intuitive – that they’ll tell their friends. It’ll be so effortless that it will become remarkable.”

Since the beginning of 2020, Safari Energy has announced the achievement of several impressive milestones, underscoring the company’s leadership in commercial and industrial solar development.

From coast to coast, Safari Energy has demonstrated that the company’s track record of delivering hundreds of solar projects for dozens of clients continues to generate value through solar.

In New Jersey alone, Safari Energy has developed 60 commercial-scale solar projects, including several atop the state’s most recognizable shopping destinations. The 60th project to come online for Safari Energy in New Jersey was a solar rooftop system at Jersey Shore Premium Outlets near Asbury Park beach, one of Simon Property Group’s many shopping, dining and entertainment destinations.

Other notable Safari Energy solar projects in New Jersey include Woodbridge Center, a 4.1-megawatt solar rooftop and parking canopy system; The Mall at Short Hills, a 3.49-megawatt solar rooftop and parking deck system; Garrett Mountain

O�ce Complex, 2.6 megawatts of solar parking canopies; Freehold Raceway Mall, a 1.6-megawatt rooftop system; and Bridgewater Commons, a 1.46-megawatt solar rooftop and parking deck system.

The 60 projects combined have added nearly 30 megawatts of solar capacity to the Garden State and have to date produced nearly 84 million kilowatt-hours of electricity, the equivalent of eliminating 66,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. To put that into perspective, the electricity generated to date is equivalent to the electricity used by more than 11,000 homes for one year or charging 8.4 billion smartphones.

Safari Energy also announced its 100th project with self-storage leader Extra Space Storage. Spanning over a dozen states and more than 10 megawatts of capacity, the projects have to date produced more than 33 million kilowatt-hours of solar power, the equivalent of offsetting emissions from 5,000 cars driven for a year.

The largest of the 100 projects is a 500-kilowatt rooftop solar system located in Central Valley, New York, where the project team was able to leverage a net energy metering program providing electricity from the system to neighboring offtakers. On average, the solar projects that Safari Energy developed for Extra Space offset more than 80% of each site’s energy use, with approximately 20 sites offsetting more than 95% of their energy use. The projects are in locations as diverse as King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, and Glendale, California. The projects range as far south as Miami, Florida, and north to Portland, Oregon.

“It has been an amazing journey for Safari Energy to work with Extra Space Storage for the past six years on solar projects across the country,” said John Lind, Safari Energy’s managing director, Business Development. “Extra Space has been an ideal client for our turnkey solar portfolio approach, and we look forward to continuing to support Extra Space’s role as a steward of the environment.”

Your TakeWhat aspect of the company’s progress over

the past decade are you most impressed with and why?

PPL has been forward thinking about the industry. PPL’s ability to transform from a company that championed for deregulation in the 90s to spinning off its generation assets two decades later illustrates PPL’s ability to adapt and pivot its strategy in order to create shareholder value, without

ever jeopardizing operational excellence or integrity to its other key stakeholders.

Over the past 10 years, WPD has evolved from a company that builds traditional infrastructure to a company that is leading the charge toward net zero 2050 by actively driving and facilitating innovation within the industry. Decarbonization of the U.K. will place additional demand on our electricity network, and WPD has transformed into a company that understands the challenges and is

planning the infrastructure to enable future low-carbon technologies. What is impressive is that WPD is building and utilizing an in-depth knowledge of how this will affect the nuts and bolts of building future networks, right up to using the network in smarter ways like procuring ®exibility, which is a big step away from traditional methods.

Ricky Duke, innovation and low carbon network engineer, Western Power Distribution

LG&E and KU’s commitment to Customer Experience is one aspect that impresses me. Over the past few years, LG&E and KU have made a concerted effort to make the customer experience a business strategy. LG&E and KU deliver a valued experience throughout our service territory with customer

offerings, such as renewable and energy e�ciency programs, outage tools and electric vehicle charging stations. And, our business o�ces and call centers have the necessary resources, such as translation services, to meet the needs of our diverse customer base.

Stephanie Pryor, manager Supply Chain – Corporate, LG&E and KU

This decade, we’ve seen 10 times the number of behind-the-meter renewable energy projects connected to PPL Electric Utilities’ distribution system. That includes solar, biomass and co-generation projects. That’s impressive. At the same time, we’ve improved reliability with smart

grid technology on the distribution system. As we look to the future, I’m excited about the potential our battery initiative will have to enhance reliability for our customers even more.

George Beam, senior engineer, Distribution Design and Standards, PPL Electric Utilities

As the world focuses on climate change, PPL remains committed to advancing a cleaner energy future while maintaining safety, reliability and affordability for those we serve.

In February, the company announced it has stepped up its goal to reduce carbon emissions.

Speci�cally, the company has set a new goal to cut PPL’s carbon emissions at least 80% from 2010 levels by 2050. That’s up from a previous target of 70% set in January 2018. As for the 70% goal – that target has been accelerated to 2040.

The company said the new goals are in the best interests of customers and stakeholders.

And while some utilities have set even more aggressive goals – goals they acknowledge they won’t be able to reach without technolo-gies that do not exist today, such as carbon capture and long-duration energy storage – PPL’s leaders say the company’s goals are attainable.

“We’re con�dent that these targets are achievable under current legislation and regulation and supported by current technology and economics,” said PPL President and Chief Operating O�cer Vince Sorgi. He added that if technology continues to improve and drive down the cost of renewables, PPL could realize even greater reductions than it is now targeting.

The company expects to achieve its 2040 and 2050 goals through a variety of actions. These include replacing Kentucky coal-�red generation over time with a mix of renewables and natural gas while meeting obligations to provide least-cost and reliable service to Kentucky customers. In addition, they include taking steps across PPL to improve energy e�ciency and reduce emissions from vehicle ®eets and substations.

The company’s updated targets are informed by ongoing resource planning activities and updated market data and trends in Kentucky. This includes insight gained through Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities’ recent procurement of 100 megawatts of additional solar power, pending Kentucky Public Service Commission approval.

As PPL eyes its more aggressive goals, reducing carbon emissions remains an issue of growing importance for many investors. The company’s targets offer transparency for shareowners and other stakeholders around this issue. In addition, they re®ect our core sustainability commitment to advance a cleaner energy future.

The company’s targets put it on a path consistent with efforts to limit the global temperature increase to less than 2˚C, as sought by the 2015 Paris Agreement on Climate Change.

Every Christmas, Matt Henry’s mom gives out old photos to family members. Some are gag gifts – photos that show a family member making a funny face. Others capture a memorable moment or key milestone.

One Henry received a few years ago was somewhat prophetic.

Henry, then 7, and his 4-year-old brother, Andrew Henry, wrapped their arms around each other as they posed for a photo sometime around 1988 at the Railroad Museum of Pennsylvania in Strasburg. Behind them is a Pennsylvania Power & Light Company train

that had been used to ship coal to power plants.

Little would the brothers know at the time that they’d take a career journey together at the former PP&L – now PPL Electric Utilities. Matt Henry, lead cybersecurity risk management analyst, joined PPL Electric in 2004 while Andrew Henry, supervisor of on-premise infrastructure, came on board about four years later.

Their heartwarming photo is the winner of the Dimensions photo contest. Congrats Henrys!

We announced the contest in the summer, asking for your best throwback photos to celebrate PPL’s 100th anniversary. We received lots of great entries. Here are the runners-up:

This photo of a PP&L underground crew in 1988 was sent in by Danette Weidner,

a physical electrical designer of PPL Electric Utilities. Her father, Edmund Chandler, is standing

at the back of the truck between the other two workers.

This photo of the PP&L Designing Division from July 17, 1924, was

submitted by PPL Electric Utilities retiree

Rebecca Calzola.

Retiree Chris Brown sent in this photo of him and

his grandfather around 1962 on the Unit I generator at

LG&E’s Ohio Falls hydro plant.

PP&L retiree John Dobosh submitted this photo from the spring of 1968 or 1969. Dobosh, a former appliance promotion

specialist, is driving a company electric vehicle with John Muth, a former home heating specialist, in the passenger seat.

The men drove the vehicle around to promote EVs.

Arden Leyden, a paralegal supervisor and assistant secretary for PPL’s O�ce

of General Counsel, sent in this photo of her late mother,

Karey Roberts, at the Lehigh Service Center in

the early 90s. Roberts, who is standing in the photo, was a

supervisor-Customer Support.

This photo of former Kentucky Utilities employee

William Habermahl was sent in by Robby Trimble, director of distribution operations for LG&E and KU. The photo was

taken around 1949 when radios were �rst installed on KU trucks.

After turning 50, LG&E and KU employee tackles 50 races in 50 states

After celebrating her 50th birthday in 2018, Tangila Jefferson received an unexpected ®yer in the mail — from AARP.

“It made me feel old; dead man walking,” she said. “I began thinking about death and what I wanted to do before I die. I said, ‘see every state,’ but I wanted to do something active and also spiritual, so I decided on doing a 5k race in every state.”

To date, Jefferson — a senior administrative assistant for the Energy Planning, Analysis and Forecasting group at Louisville Gas & Electric and Kentucky Utilities — has been to 45 states, in addition to Washington, D.C., collecting medals and purposely meeting a new friend in every state.

Having visited just seven states before setting her 50-state goal, Jefferson’s endeavor is allowing her to see more of the country, all with the support and encouragement of her family, church and co-workers.

Her favorite race so far has been in Texas, where her sister joined her in a race at Rice University Stadium in Houston.

“My sister’s a truck driver and not very active and wanted to do a race with me,” said Jefferson. “It has jump-started her to live a more active lifestyle with me as her ‘coach.’ The Texas race was fun because she was with

me and because the �nish line was on the stadium’s 50-yard line. As I came in, I saw myself on the jumbo screen.”

Stop by Jefferson’s desk in Louisville, and you’ll see results of her efforts — a medal from each race hangs in her cubicle. They’re reminders for Jefferson to incorporate regular movement into her daily routine.

“I love walking in the downtown area on my lunch breaks,” she said. “It breaks up the monotony of sitting at my desk and staring at the screen.”

Jefferson also takes advantage of the company’s Wellness Reimbursement, which helps cover part of the cost of race entry fees.

“I’m very grateful for the incentive to help me in reaching my personal wellness goals,” she

said. “Our company emphasizes health and wellness and does such a good job with work/life balance. I’ve seen it throughout my 20 years of service, and I am so proud we’re recognized with various awards. My team is patient with me spreading out my vacation days throughout the year, and I’m thankful for their support.”

With the goal of completing all 50 races by 2021, there’s no slowing down for Jefferson, who’s not quite ready to join AARP — regardless of what unexpected mail may come her way.

‘I made 68 cents an hour. It was a good-paying job back then.’

PPL retiree re®ects on his 44-year career with the companyThe date was Feb. 1, 1948. The average cost of a car was $1,250. Movie tickets were 40 cents.

It was then that 18-year-old Carl Crouse began his career at the former Pennsylvania Power & Light Company as a groundman digging poles in Lancaster.

“I made 68 cents an hour,” said Crouse, who turned 90 last February. “It was a good-paying job back then.”

Crouse was a quick learner and hard worker, oftentimes called upon to do jobs above his grade level or singled out by others for his work ethic. In his heart, he wanted to be a lineman. However, back in the 1950s, linemen were required to have 20/20 vision. That excluded Crouse, who needed glasses to read.

Soon after joining the company, Crouse spent almost four years in the service – two in the National Guard and 19 months in active-duty training at Camp Atterbury near Edinburgh, Indiana.

Crouse rose through the ranks in the Distribution and Transmission departments during his 44 years with the company, eventually retiring as foreman-Multiple Crews at the Lehigh Service Center in 1992.

“One of my fondest memories was changing out the entire line in Pennsburg and the surrounding areas,” said Crouse proudly.

Crouse remains in touch with former co-workers, getting together every quarter to talk about “the good old days.” The group, called the Kilowatt Craftsman’s Club, was made up of 150 Masons who worked at PPL. Today, that number is closer to 15.

The club was formed in 1959.

“At that time, co-workers and their families got together for clambakes and picnics four times a year,” recalled Crouse. “Now, a few of us meet for breakfast and reminisce about PPL.”

All in all, Crouse has fond memories of his years at PPL.

“In my day you were thankful to have a job, and I loved working at PPL,” said Crouse. “We were like one big family.”

Editor’s note: As PPL celebrates its 100th anniversary, we note the sacri�ces made by our employees in service to the nation. This story chronicles one such worker, Harold M. Lonzer of Hazleton.

The sea of white crosses at the Normandy American Cemetery in Colleville-sur-Mer along the French coast just above the English Channel marks the graves of more than 9,300 American soldiers killed on D-Day and in ensuing battles in France in World War II.

In that hallowed ground rests Pfc. Harold M. Lonzer of Hazleton. Pennsylvania Power & Light Company clerk. Fallen hero. Member of The Greatest Generation.

He entered military service in September 1943 and after stateside training, arrived in England in April 1944. Two months later, he was bound for France.

A member of Company G of the Army’s 330th Infantry Regiment, 83rd Infantry Division, he

and the rest of his company boarded a tank landing ship on June 20, 1944, at Southampton, England. Aboard for three days, they set off from Calshot, England, traveling about a hundred miles across the channel before landing on Omaha Beach in Normandy late that afternoon. The Company G morning report for June 23 noted: “At sea aboard US LST#1. Left Calshot anchorage at 0200. Destination unknown. Morale excellent. Arrived at Omaha Beach at 1600.”

It was now about 2 ½ weeks after D-Day. The 330th moved about 20 miles into the front lines southeast of the small crossroads town of Carentan to relieve soldiers of the 101st Airborne Division. (Carentan was highlighted in an episode of the acclaimed 2001 “Band of Brothers” series that chronicled E (Easy) Company of the 506th regiment of the 101st during the war.)

Normandy was a muddy mess in early July 1944. Heavy rains ®ooded streams and rivers and created sloppy conditions that made walking tough and vehicle travel even tougher. Lonzer was among the troops of the 83rd tasked with making their way through a narrow corridor to attack elite German troops.

About two months short of his 37th birthday, he was killed as his unit attacked heavily defended German troops in the hedgerows in the pre-dawn hours of July 4, 1944, most likely near Méautis. In a company morning report of July 7, 1944, the bespectacled Lonzer was among a group of men listed as missing in action three days earlier, a designation that changed days later to killed in action.

As the regiment’s commander, Col. R.T. Foster noted in “The Story of the 330th Infantry Across Europe,” July 4, 1944, “was no holiday for the infantrymen of the 330th.” They

attacked that day and every day for 23 days from dawn until dark, according to the book.

The youngest of three siblings, Harold Lonzer worked for PP&L for 20 years in Hazleton. At that time, PP&L had an o�ce on East Broad Street. His wife, Alma, also worked for PP&L at that time and eventually retired from the company as a secretary/bookkeeper. She died in 1995. Census records show the couple, who had no children, lived on West First Street in Hazleton in 1940. Harold Lonzer was active at Christ Lutheran Church in Hazleton, where he served on the church council.

Lonzer was one of many PP&L employees to serve in the war. By the end of 1944, nearly 1,100 male and female PP&L employees had joined the armed forces, according to a late April 1945 message from then PP&L President John S. Wise Jr. Lonzer was one of seven employees who died in the war, according to the memo. Others listed were Henry A. Brosious, John Evetuschik, John J. Flanagan, James M. Kline, Ray E. Luckenbill Jr. and John S. Walbert.

“There is a strong tradition of service among PPL employees throughout the company’s history. Harold Lonzer and others personify that dedication,” said Rob Lessard, a senior technology translator for PPL Electric Utilities and a Navy veteran who serves as president of PPLVets, an employee business resource group. “On Memorial Day this year, and every year, we pay tribute to the Harold Lonzers of the world, those who answered the call and gave their lives in service to our nation.”

Before the war ended in 1945, more than 20% of the company’s pre-war workforce had performed military duties. PP&L helped power the war effort as peacetime factories switched to wartime footing.

Mowing grass under and around the solar arrays at E.W. Brown Generating Station in Kentucky has proven to be di�cult, so Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities have enlisted the help of 25 Shetland sheep to graze on the vegetation. It’s a low-cost option that keeps the sheep busy and happy.

LG&E and KU are partnering with Shaker Village of Pleasant Hill, a nearby destination that includes a working farm and nature preserve and is Kentucky’s largest National Historic Landmark. As the sheep manage the solar �eld’s vegetation, farmers from Shaker Village will manage the ®ock.

LG&E and KU are also establishing pollinator habitats at the station. The habitats are rich with native plants and attract and support pollinators such as native bees, honey bees and monarch butter®ies, providing agricultural support to nearby farms and bolstering native pollinator populations.
