PPL Corporation
PPL Corporation is an energy company headquartered in Allentown, Pennsylvania in the Lehigh Valley region of eastern Pennsylvania. The company is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange as NYSE: PPL and is part of the S&P 500. As of 2022, the company had $7.9 billion in revenue, 6,500 employees, over $37 billion in assets, and serves 3.6 million customers.
PPL Corporation was founded as Pennsylvania Power & Light in 1920, the product of a merger of eight smaller Pennsylvania-based utility companies. It gradually extended its service territory to a crescent-shaped region of central and Northeastern Pennsylvania, stretching from Lancaster in central Pennsylvania through the Lehigh Valley in eastern Pennsylvania, and Scranton, and Wilkes-Barre in Northeastern Pennsylvania.
In 1995, the company reorganized as a holding company. PP&L Resources was renamed PPL Corporation in 2000.
The company limited its operations to Pennsylvania until deregulation of electrical utilities in the 1990s encouraged PPL to purchase assets in other states. The largest of these acquisitions was PPL's 1998 purchase of 13 plants from Montana Power Company, which added over 2,500 megawatts in capacity, representing the largest expansion in the company's history.
In 2010, PPL completed the acquisition of two regulated Kentucky-based utilities, Louisville Gas & Electric in Louisville and Kentucky Utilities in Lexington.
In February 2010, PPL Corporation purchased the naming rights to the venue originally known as PPL Park, the home stadium of Major League Soccer's Philadelphia Union, in Chester, Pennsylvania. As part of the $25 million, 11-year deal, PPL EnergyPlus provided sustainable energy to PPL Park derived from other sources in Pennsylvania.
After PPL spun off its non-regulated generation business into the separate Talen Energy, the stadium naming rights were assumed by the spinoff company and the venue became known as Talen Energy Stadium. In February 2020, the park was named Subaru Park.
In 2011, PPL completed the acquisition of two regulated regional electricity distribution companies in the United Kingdom. Along with two previously acquired regional electricity distribution companies, the company operates as Western Power Distribution (WPD).
