About PPL

PPL helps families and businesses stay powered by delivering electricity and natural gas to their homes and offices. It manages the wires and pipes that move energy across four different states. The company also makes its own power using various fuels to ensure a steady supply for its customers.

What PPL Delivers

  • Kentucky Regulated: Generation and delivery of electricity and natural gas to 1.4 million customers; represents roughly 42% of PPL total revenue in 2025.
  • Pennsylvania Regulated: Transmission and distribution of electricity to 1.5 million customers; accounts for about 34% of PPL total revenue in 2025.
  • Rhode Island Regulated: Electricity and natural gas services through Rhode Island Energy to 800,000 customers; makes up 24% of PPL total revenue in 2025.

Strategic Moves and Growth

  • Acquired The Narragansett Electric Company to expand utility operations into Rhode Island.
  • Sold the Safari Holdings solar energy business in November 2022 to refocus on regulated utility operations.
  • Received approval to build a 645-megawatt natural gas plant and a 125-megawatt battery system in Kentucky.
  • Committed to a goal of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050 through retiring coal plants and adding renewable energy.

What Makes PPL Stand Out

PPL operates as a regulated monopoly in most areas, which means it is the only provider of essential energy delivery services for its customers. This structure allows the company to earn a return on the large investments it makes in power lines, substations, and gas mains.

By the Numbers

  • Net income rose to $266 million in Q4 2025, a 50.3% increase from Q4 2024.
  • Operating income reached $478 million in Q4 2025, up 26.8% year-over-year.
  • Revenue grew to $2.3 billion in Q4 2025, up 2.8% from the previous year.
  • Operating cash flow increased to $548 million in Q4 2025, up 7.2% from Q4 2024.

Bottom Line

PPL has transitioned from an international power player to a focused US regulated utility. This shift provides a more predictable business model centered on long-term infrastructure investment and essential service delivery.
