Statements contained in this Form 10-Q concerning expectations, beliefs, plans, objectives, goals, strategies, future events or performance and underlying assumptions and other statements which are other than statements of historical facts are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  Although PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these statements are reasonable, there can be no assurance that these expectations will prove to be correct.  These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  In addition to the specific factors discussed in "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in the companies' 2006 Form 10-K and in "Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in this Form 10-Q report, the following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements:

·
market demand and prices for energy, capacity and fuel;
·
market prices for crude oil and the potential impact on synthetic fuel operations, synthetic fuel purchases from third parties and the phase-out of synthetic fuel tax credits;
·
weather conditions affecting generation production, customer energy usage and operating costs;
·
competition in retail and wholesale power markets;
·
liquidity of wholesale power markets;
·
defaults by our counterparties under our energy or fuel contracts;
·
the effect of any business or industry restructuring;
·
the profitability and liquidity, including access to capital markets and credit facilities, of PPL and its subsidiaries;
·
new accounting requirements or new interpretations or applications of existing requirements;
·
operation and availability of existing generation facilities and operating costs;
·
transmission and distribution system conditions and operating costs;
·
current and future environmental conditions and requirements and the related costs of compliance, including environmental capital expenditures and emission allowances and other expenses;
·
significant delays in the planned installation of pollution control equipment at certain coal-fired generating units in Pennsylvania due to weather conditions, contractor performance or other reasons;
·
market prices of commodity inputs for ongoing capital expenditures;
·
collective labor bargaining negotiations;
·
development of new projects, markets and technologies;
·
performance of new ventures;
·
asset acquisitions and dispositions;
·
political, regulatory or economic conditions in states, regions or countries where PPL or its subsidiaries conduct business;
·
any impact of hurricanes or other severe weather on PPL and its subsidiaries, including any impact on fuel prices;
·
receipt of necessary governmental permits, approvals and rate relief;
·
new state, federal or foreign legislation, including new tax legislation;
·
state, federal and foreign regulatory developments;
·
the impact of any state, federal or foreign investigations applicable to PPL and its subsidiaries and the energy industry;
·
capital market conditions, including changes in interest rates, and decisions regarding capital structure;
·
stock price performance of PPL;
·
the market prices of equity securities and the impact on pension costs and resultant cash funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans;
·
securities and credit ratings;
·
foreign currency exchange rates;
·
the outcome of litigation against PPL and its subsidiaries;
·
potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism or war or other hostilities; and
·
the commitments and liabilities of PPL and its subsidiaries.

Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with other documents of PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric on file with the SEC.

New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for PPL, PPL Energy Supply or PPL Electric to predict all of such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement.  Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which such statement is made, and PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric undertake no obligations to update the information contained in such statement to reflect subsequent developments or information.

1.  
Interim Financial Statements

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements.  All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature, except as otherwise disclosed.  The Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2006, are derived from each Registrant's 2006 audited Balance Sheet.  The financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in each Registrant's 2006 Form 10-K and Form 8-K dated June 21, 2007 for PPL and PPL Energy Supply.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2007, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2007, or other future periods, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and seasonal variations.

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

The classification of certain amounts in the June 30, 2006 financial statements has been changed to conform to the presentation in the June 30, 2007 financial statements.  PPL has announced plans to sell its Latin American businesses and the transport operations of its domestic telecommunications subsidiary.  On the Statements of Income, the operating results of the Latin American businesses for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, are classified as "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations."  At June 30, 2007, the assets, liabilities and minority interest related to the yet to be completed divestitures are reflected in the Balance Sheet as "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale and related minority interest."  See Note 8 for additional information.

2.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following accounting policy disclosures represent updates to the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" Note in each Registrant's 2006 Form 10-K.

Depreciation (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL and its subsidiaries periodically review the useful lives of their long-lived assets.  In 2007, WPD reviewed the useful lives of its distribution network assets.  Based on this review, effective April 1, 2007, the weighted average useful lives were extended to 54 years from 40 years.  The effect of this change in useful lives for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, was to decrease depreciation expense by $4 million, or $3 million after tax ($0.01 per share for PPL).

Income Taxes (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Prior to January 1, 2007, and in accordance with SFAS 5 "Accounting for Contingencies," PPL and its subsidiaries evaluated uncertain tax positions and accrued charges for probable exposures based on management's best estimate of the amount of benefit that should be recognized in the financial statements.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."  In May 2007, the FASB amended this guidance by issuing FSP FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48."  PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FIN 48, as amended, effective January 1, 2007.  The adoption resulted in the recognition of a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for that fiscal year.  Effective with the adoption, uncertain tax positions are no longer considered to be contingencies assessed in accordance with SFAS 5.  FIN 48 requires an entity to evaluate its tax positions following a two-step process.  The first step requires an entity to determine whether, based on the technical merits supporting a particular tax position, it is more likely than not (greater than a 50 percent chance) that the tax position will be sustained.  This determination assumes that the relevant taxing authority will examine the tax position and is aware of all the relevant facts surrounding the tax position.  The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion.  The measurement of the benefit equals the largest amount of benefit that has a likelihood of realization, upon settlement, that exceeds 50 percent.  If the more-likely-than-not threshold is not met, it is inappropriate to recognize any tax benefits associated with the tax position.  See Note 5 for the impact of adopting FIN 48 as well as the required disclosures.

New Accounting Standards (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

See Note 17 for a discussion of new accounting standards recently adopted or pending adoption.

Earnings Per Share

(PPL)

Basic EPS is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is calculated using the weighted-average shares of common stock outstanding that are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock.  Potentially dilutive securities consist of:

·
stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units granted under the incentive compensation plans;
·
stock units representing common stock granted under the directors compensation programs; and
·
convertible senior notes.

The basic and diluted EPS calculations, and the reconciliation of the shares (in thousands) used in the calculations, are:

During the six months ended June 30, 2006, 668,000 stock options to purchase PPL common shares were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because the effect would have been antidilutive.

If converted, PPL Energy Supply's 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 require cash settlement of the principal amount and permit settlement of any conversion premium in cash or PPL common stock.  Based upon the current conversion rate of 40.2212 shares per $1,000 principal amount of notes (or $24.8625 per share), the Convertible Senior Notes have a dilutive impact when the average market price of PPL common stock equals or exceeds $24.87.

See Note 7 for discussion of attainment of the market price trigger related to the Convertible Senior Notes in 2007.

As of June 30, 2007, $93 million of Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding.  The maximum number of shares of PPL common stock that could potentially be issued to settle the conversion premium, based upon the current conversion rate, is 3,768,002 shares.  Based on PPL's common stock price at June 30, 2007, the conversion premium equated to 1,765,823 shares, or $83 million.

See Note 7 for discussion of a common stock repurchase program initiated during the second quarter of 2007.

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, PPL issued 1,418,683 shares of common stock related to the exercise of stock options and vesting of restricted stock units under its stock-based compensation plans.

In January 2006, WPD, Hyder's liquidator and a former Hyder affiliate signed an agreement to transfer to the affiliate a future tax liability from WPD and certain surplus tax losses from Hyder.  Inland Revenue, the U.K. taxing authority, subsequently confirmed this agreement.  This transfer resulted in a net reduction of income tax expense of $20 million for the six months ended June 30, 2006, and a decrease to goodwill of $12 million from the resolution of a pre-acquisition tax contingency pursuant to EITF Issue 93-7, "Uncertainties Related to Income Taxes in a Purchase Business Combination."

For the three months ended June 30, 2006, changes in PPL Energy Supply's federal and state income tax reserves consisted of a $1 million expense in "Change in federal tax reserves" and an insignificant state amount in "State income taxes."
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2007, changes in PPL Energy Supply's federal and state income tax reserves consisted of a $29 million benefit in "Change in federal tax reserves," offset by an insignificant state amount in "State income taxes."
 
For the six months ended June 30, 2006, changes in PPL Energy Supply's federal and state income tax reserves consisted of a $3 million benefit reflected in "Change in federal tax reserves," and is more than offset by a $5 million state tax expense reflected in "State income taxes."

In July 2007, the U.K.'s Finance Act 2007, which includes amendments to existing tax law, was enacted.  The most significant change to the tax law was a reduction in the U.K.'s statutory income tax rate.  Effective April 1, 2008, the statutory income tax rate will be reduced from 30% to 28%.  As a result, PPL Energy Supply anticipates recognizing a one-time deferred tax benefit during the third quarter of 2007 in the range of $50 to $60 million.

Unrecognized Tax Benefits

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."  In May 2007, the FASB amended this guidance by issuing FSP FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48."  PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FIN 48, as amended, effective January 1, 2007.  The adoption resulted in the following increases (decreases) to the Balance Sheet at January 1, 2007.

At June 30, 2007, the "Total unrecognized tax benefits" for PPL, PPL Energy Supply, and PPL Electric were $192 million, $114 million and $73 million.  The "Total unrecognized tax benefits and related indirect effects that if recognized would decrease the effective tax rate" for PPL, PPL Energy Supply, and PPL Electric were $133 million, $95 million and $33 million.  The decreases were primarily the result of recognizing, in the second quarter of 2007, previously unrecognized tax benefits of $29 million, $26 million and $2 million due to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations, with respect to certain issues.
 
At January 1, 2007, it was reasonably possible that during the next twelve months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, recorded at January 1, 2007, could decrease between $25 million and $106 million for PPL, decrease between $30 million and $91 million for PPL Energy Supply and decrease by up to $9 million for PPL Electric, as a result of subsequent recognition, derecognition and/or changes in measurement of uncertain tax positions related to the creditability of foreign taxes, the timing and utilization of foreign tax credits and the related impact on alternative minimum tax and other credits, the timing and/or valuation of certain deductions, intercompany transactions and unitary filing groups.  The events that could cause these changes are direct settlements with taxing authorities, litigation, legal or administrative guidance by relevant taxing authorities and the lapse of an applicable statute of limitation.

At June 30, 2007, PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric determined that it was reasonably possible that during the next twelve months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could decrease between $1 million and $80 million for PPL, decrease between $6 million and $65 million for PPL Energy Supply and decrease by up to $9 million for PPL Electric, primarily due to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations, with respect to certain issues.

It is PPL and its subsidiaries' policy to record interest and penalties in "Income Taxes" on their Statements of Income.

At January 1, 2007, interest and penalties accrued on the Balance Sheet were:

At June 30, 2007, PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric had accrued interest and penalties of $32 million, $24 million and $8 million.  The decrease in accrued interest and penalties was primarily the result of PPL and PPL Energy Supply recognizing in "Income Taxes" on the Statements of Income, in the second quarter 2007, the reversal of $8 million of previously accrued interest and penalties on previously unrecognized tax benefits related to the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations, with respect to certain issues.

PPL or its subsidiaries file tax returns in five major tax jurisdictions.  PPL Energy Supply's and PPL Electric's U.S. federal and state tax provision are calculated in accordance with an intercompany tax sharing policy with PPL which provides that their taxable income be calculated as if PPL Energy Supply and its domestic subsidiaries and PPL Electric and its subsidiaries each filed a separate consolidated tax return.  Based on this tax sharing policy, PPL Energy Supply or its subsidiaries indirectly or directly file tax returns in five major tax jurisdictions and PPL Electric or its subsidiaries indirectly or directly file tax returns in two major tax jurisdictions.  These jurisdictions, as well as the tax years that are no longer subject to examination, are as follows:

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

At June 30, 2007, as a result of PPL's plan to dispose of its Latin American businesses, PPL and PPL Energy Supply classified $4 million of unrecognized tax benefits in "Liabilities held for sale and related minority interest."  (See Note 8 for additional information.)  If these unrecognized tax benefits were subsequently recognized, they would not impact PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's effective tax rate.

Credit Arrangements and Financing Activities

Credit Arrangements

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Energy Supply maintains credit facilities in order to enhance liquidity and provide credit support, and as a backstop to its commercial paper program.

In March 2007, PPL Energy Supply extended the expiration date of its 364-day reimbursement agreement to March 2008.  Under the agreement, PPL Energy Supply can cause the bank to issue up to $200 million of letters of credit but cannot make cash borrowings.  At June 30, 2007, there was $141 million of letters of credit outstanding under this agreement.

In May 2007, PPL Energy Supply entered into a $3.4 billion Second Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement, which amended its previously existing $1.9 billion credit facility and extended the term of the previously existing facility to June 2012.  Under certain conditions, PPL Energy Supply may elect to have the principal balance of the loans outstanding on the final maturity date of the facility continue as non-revolving term loans for a period of one year from that final maturity date.  Also, under certain conditions, PPL Energy Supply may request that the facility's principal amount be increased by up to $500 million.  PPL Energy Supply has the ability to cause the lenders under this facility to issue letters of credit.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply had $158 million of letters of credit and no cash borrowings outstanding under this facility.

PPL Energy Supply also maintains a $300 million five-year letter of credit and revolving credit facility expiring in March 2011.  At June 30, 2007, there were no cash borrowings and $242 million of letters of credit outstanding under this facility.  PPL Energy Supply's obligations under this facility are supported by a $300 million letter of credit issued on PPL Energy Supply's behalf under a separate $300 million five-year letter of credit and reimbursement agreement, also expiring in March 2011.

PPL Energy Supply maintains a commercial paper program for up to $500 million to provide an additional financing source to fund its short-term liquidity needs, if and when necessary.  Commercial paper issuances are supported by PPL Energy Supply's $3.4 billion five-year credit facility.  PPL Energy Supply had no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2007.

In January 2007, WPD (South West) terminated its £150 million three-year committed credit facility, which was to expire in October 2008.  This facility was replaced by a new £150 million five-year committed credit facility at WPDH Limited that expires in January 2012, with the option to extend the expiration date by a maximum of two years.  WPD (South West) currently maintains two committed credit facilities: a £100 million 364-day facility expiring in November 2007 and a £150 million five-year facility expiring in October 2009.  WPD's total committed facilities at June 30, 2007, were £400 million (approximately $792 million).  At June 30, 2007, WPD (South West) also had uncommitted credit facilities of £65 million (approximately $129 million).  At June 30, 2007, there were no cash borrowings outstanding under any of these facilities.

In May 2007, Emel arranged uncommitted credit lines in the amount of 32.4 billion Chilean pesos (approximately $62 million), with authorization to borrow up to $20 million as required for working capital needs.  As of June 30, 2007, there were 2.7 billion Chilean pesos (approximately $5 million) of cash borrowings outstanding under these facilities at an interest rate of 5.86%.

(PPL and PPL Electric)

PPL Electric maintains credit facilities in order to enhance liquidity and provide credit support, and as a backstop to its commercial paper program.

In May 2007, PPL Electric entered into a $200 million Third Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement, which extended the term of its existing credit facility to May 2012.  Under certain conditions, PPL Electric may elect to have the principal balance of the loans outstanding on the final maturity date of the facility continue as non-revolving term loans for a period of one year from that final maturity date.  Also, under certain conditions, PPL Electric may request that the facility's principal amount be increased by up to $100 million.  PPL Electric has the ability to cause the lenders under this facility to issue letters of credit.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Electric had no cash borrowings and an insignificant amount of letters of credit outstanding under this facility.

PPL Electric maintains a commercial paper program for up to $200 million to provide an additional financing source to fund its short-term liquidity needs, if and when necessary.  Commercial paper issuances are supported by PPL Electric's $200 million five-year credit facility.  PPL Electric had $55 million of commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2007, with a weighted average interest rate of 5.38%.

At June 30, 2007, $143 million of accounts receivable and $141 million of unbilled revenues were pledged by a PPL Electric subsidiary under the credit agreement related to PPL Electric's and the subsidiary's participation in an asset-backed commercial paper program.  Also at this date, there was $41 million of short-term debt outstanding under the credit agreement at an interest rate of 5.3601%, all of which was being used to cash collateralize letters of credit issued on PPL Electric's behalf.  The funds used to cash collateralize the letters of credit are reported in "Restricted Cash" on the Balance Sheet.  At June 30, 2007, based on the accounts receivable and unbilled revenues pledged, an additional $109 million was available for borrowing.  PPL Electric's sale to its subsidiary of the accounts receivable and unbilled revenues is an absolute sale of the assets, and PPL Electric does not retain an interest in these assets.  However, for financial reporting purposes, the subsidiary's financial results are consolidated in PPL Electric's financial statements.  In July 2007, PPL Electric and the subsidiary extended the expiration date of the credit agreement to July 2008.  PPL Electric currently expects that it and the subsidiary will continue to renew the credit agreement on an annual basis.

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

The subsidiaries of PPL are separate legal entities.  PPL's subsidiaries are not liable for the debts of PPL.  Accordingly, creditors of PPL may not satisfy their debts from the assets of the subsidiaries absent a specific contractual undertaking by a subsidiary to pay PPL's creditors or as required by applicable law or regulation.  Similarly, absent a specific contractual undertaking or as required by applicable law or regulation, PPL is not liable for the debts of its subsidiaries.  Accordingly, creditors of PPL's subsidiaries may not satisfy their debts from the assets of PPL absent a specific contractual undertaking by PPL to pay the creditors of its subsidiaries or as required by applicable law or regulation.

Similarly, the subsidiaries of PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric are separate legal entities.  These subsidiaries are not liable for the debts of PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric.  Accordingly, creditors of PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric may not satisfy their debts from the assets of their subsidiaries absent a specific contractual undertaking by a subsidiary to pay the creditors or as required by applicable law or regulation.  In addition, absent a specific contractual undertaking or as required by applicable law or regulation, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric are not liable for the debts of their subsidiaries.  Accordingly, creditors of these subsidiaries may not satisfy their debts from the assets of PPL Energy Supply or PPL Electric absent a specific contractual undertaking by that parent to pay the creditors of its subsidiaries or as required by applicable law or regulation.

Financing Activities

(PPL)

In March 2007, PPL Capital Funding issued $500 million of 2007 Series A Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067 (Notes).  The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by PPL as to payment of principal, interest and premium, if any.  The Notes mature in March 2067, and are callable at par value beginning in March 2017.  Prior to such time, the Notes may be redeemed at PPL Capital Funding's option at make-whole redemption prices.  The Notes bear interest at 6.70% from the date of issuance through March 2017.  After March 2017, and continuing up to the maturity date, the Notes bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.665%, reset quarterly.  PPL Capital Funding may defer interest payments on the Notes, from time to time, on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years.  Deferred interest payments will accumulate additional interest at a rate equal to the interest rate then applicable to the Notes.  During any period in which PPL Capital Funding defers interest payments on the Notes, subject to certain exceptions, neither PPL Capital Funding nor PPL may (i) declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on its capital stock, (ii) redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to any of its capital stock, or (iii) make any payments on any debt or any guarantee of debt by PPL that is equal or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the related guarantee by PPL.

PPL Capital Funding received $493 million of proceeds, net of a discount and underwriting fees, from the issuance of the Notes.  Of the proceeds, $281 million were used to pay at maturity PPL Capital Funding's 8.375% Medium-Term Notes due June 2007.  The remainder of the net proceeds was used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures relating to the installation of pollution control equipment by PPL Energy Supply subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, PPL and PPL Capital Funding entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant, in which PPL and PPL Capital Funding agreed for the benefit of holders of a designated series of unsecured long-term indebtedness of PPL or PPL Capital Funding ranking senior to the Notes that (i) PPL Capital Funding will not redeem or purchase the Notes, or otherwise satisfy, discharge or defease the principal amount of the Notes and (ii) neither PPL nor any of its other subsidiaries will purchase the Notes on or before March 2037, except, subject to certain limitations, to the extent that the applicable redemption or repurchase price or principal amount defeased does not exceed a specified amount of proceeds from the sale of qualifying replacement capital securities during the 180-day period prior to the date of that redemption, repurchase or defeasance.  The designated series of covered debt currently benefiting from the Replacement Capital Covenant is PPL Capital Funding's 4.33% Notes Exchange Series A Due March 2009.

In July 2007, PPL Capital Funding issued $100 million of 6.85% Senior Notes due 2047 (6.85% Notes).  The 6.85% Notes are not subject to redemption prior to July 2012.  On or after July 2012, PPL Capital Funding may, at its option, redeem the 6.85% Notes, in whole or in part, at par.  PPL Capital Funding received $97 million of proceeds, net of underwriting fees, from the issuance of the 6.85% Notes.  The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures relating to the installation of pollution control equipment by PPL Energy Supply subsidiaries.

The terms of PPL Energy Supply's 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 include a market price trigger that permits holders to convert the notes during any fiscal quarter if the closing sale price of PPL's common stock exceeds $29.83 for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter.  Holders of the Convertible Senior Notes were entitled to convert their notes at any time during the first and second quarters of 2007 and are also entitled to convert their notes at any time during the third quarter of 2007, as a result of the market price trigger being met.  When holders elect to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, PPL Energy Supply is required to settle the principal amount in cash and any conversion premium in cash or PPL common stock.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Convertible Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10 million were presented for conversion.  The total conversion premium related to these conversions was $8 million, which was settled with 181,574 shares of PPL common stock, along with an insignificant amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares.  At June 30, 2007, $93 million of Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding.

In December 2006, Elfec issued $11 million of 6.05% UFV (inflation-adjusted bolivianos) denominated bonds with serial maturities from 2012 through 2014.  Of these bonds, $5 million were issued in exchange for existing bonds with maturities in 2007 and 2008.  Cash proceeds of $6 million were used in January 2007 to refinance bonds with maturities in 2007.  These transactions were reflected in PPL's January 2007 financial statements due to the one-month lag in foreign subsidiary reporting.

In February 2007, WPD LLP redeemed all of the 8.23% Subordinated Debentures due 2027 that were held by SIUK Capital Trust I.  Upon redemption, WPD LLP paid a premium of 4.115%, or approximately $3 million, on the principal amount of $85 million of subordinated debentures.  In connection with this redemption, SIUK Capital Trust I was required to use all of the proceeds received from the repayment of the subordinated debentures to redeem all of its common and preferred securities.  WPD LLP received $3 million when its investment in SIUK Capital Trust I was liquidated.  See Note 22 of each Registrant's 2006 Form 10-K for a discussion of the trust.  The redemption of the subordinated debentures and the trust's common and preferred securities resulted in a loss of $2 million, after tax, for the six months ended June 30, 2007, which is included in "Interest Expense" for PPL and "Interest Expense with Affiliates" for PPL Energy Supply on the Statement of Income.  Payment of $29 million was also made to settle related cross-currency swaps and is included on the Statement of Cash Flows as a component of "Retirement of long-term debt."

(PPL Energy Supply)

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply distributed $463 million to its parent company, PPL Energy Funding, and received cash capital contributions of $500 million.

(PPL and PPL Electric)

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, PPL Transition Bond Company made principal payments on transition bonds of $157 million.

Common Stock Repurchase Program (PPL)

In June 2007, PPL's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by PPL of up to $750 million of its common stock from time to time, in open market purchases, pre-arranged trading plans or privately negotiated transactions.  The specific amount and timing of repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, including potential share repurchase price, strategic investment considerations and other market and economic factors.  During the second quarter of 2007, PPL repurchased 1,675,000 shares of its common stock for $77 million which was primarily recorded as a reduction to "Capital in excess of par value" on the Balance Sheet.  Through July 31, 2007, a total of 3,559,100 shares were repurchased for $166 million.

Dividends

(PPL)

In February 2007, PPL announced an increase to its quarterly common stock dividend, effective April 1, 2007, to 30.5 cents per share (equivalent to $1.22 per annum).  Future dividends, declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors, will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

(PPL Electric)

During the six months ended June 30, 2007, PPL Electric paid common stock dividends of $74 million to PPL.

Acquisitions, Development and Divestitures

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL continuously evaluates strategic options for its business segments and from time to time, PPL and its subsidiaries are involved in negotiations with third parties regarding acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets, joint ventures and development projects, which may or may not result in definitive agreements.  Any such transactions may impact future financial results.

Domestic

Development

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In January 2007, the NRC accepted for review the PPL Susquehanna request to increase the amount of electricity the plant can generate.  The total expected capacity increase is 159 MW, of which PPL Susquehanna's share would be 143 MW.  PPL Susquehanna's share of the expected capital cost of this project is $274 million.  PPL cannot predict whether or when NRC approval will be obtained.
 
In the second quarter of 2007, PPL sent a letter to the NRC indicating its intent to submit a combined construction and operating license application (COLA) for a third nuclear generating unit adjacent to the Susquehanna plant.  NRC acceptance of the COLA by December 2008 would meet the first requirement to qualify for federal production tax credits and loan guarantees as provided for under the Energy Policy Act of 2005.  Requests have also been filed with PJM for transmission feasibility and system impact studies.  PPL estimates that if it proceeds with the licensing phase it would cost approximately $90 million, most of which would be incurred by the end of 2008.  The costs do not reflect any construction expenditures, nor do they represent a commitment to build.  Although PPL currently expects to capitalize these costs and would likely only proceed into construction in a joint-venture arrangement, PPL has made no decision to proceed with development and construction of another nuclear unit and expects that such decision could take as long as four years given the lengthy approval process.
 
(PPL and PPL Electric)

In June 2007, PJM approved the construction of a new 130 mile, 500-kilovolt transmission line between the Susquehanna substation in Pennsylvania and the Roseland substation in New Jersey that has been identified as essential to long-term reliability of the mid-Atlantic electricity grid.  PJM determined that the line is needed to prevent potential overloads that could occur in the next decade on several existing transmission lines in the interconnected PJM system. It was announced by PJM that the line would be jointly built by PPL Electric, FirstEnergy Corporation of Akron, Ohio and Public Service Enterprise Group of Newark, New Jersey.  PJM also announced that construction of the line is estimated to cost $930 million, of which PPL Electric's share is estimated at approximately $326 million.  The portion of the line to be built in Pennsylvania requires PUC approval.

Anticipated Sale of Transport Operations  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In the first quarter of 2007, PPL completed a review of strategic options for the transport operations of its domestic telecommunications subsidiary, which offers fiber optic capacity to other telecommunications companies and enterprise customers.  The operating results of this subsidiary are included in the Supply segment.  Due to a combination of significant capital requirements for the transport operations and competing capital needs in PPL's core electricity supply and delivery businesses, PPL decided to actively market these transport operations.

In the first quarter of 2007, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recorded a $31 million pre-tax ($18 million after tax) write-down in the carrying value of the transport assets to their estimated fair value.  In May 2007, PPL reached a definitive agreement to sell its transport operations.  In the second quarter of 2007, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recorded an additional write-down of $3 million pre-tax ($2 million after tax.)  The write-downs are included in "Energy-related businesses" expenses on the Statements of Income.  PPL expects to realize $50 million in net proceeds from the sale, which is expected to close by the end of the third quarter of 2007 following regulatory approvals.  Proceeds of the sale are expected to be used to invest in growth opportunities in PPL's core electricity supply and delivery businesses and/or for the repurchase of securities, including PPL common stock.

In accordance with SFAS 144, "Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets," the assets and liabilities of these transport operations have been classified as "held for sale" on the Balance Sheet at June 30, 2007.  The transport operations did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations presentation on the Statement of Income because there are not separate and distinguishable cash flows.  The major classes of "Assets held for sale" and "Liabilities held for sale and related minority interest" on the Balance Sheet at June 30, 2007, were as follows (corresponding amounts at December 31, 2006, are also noted for comparative purposes but, have not been reclassified on the balance sheet as of that period):

Anticipated Sale of Gas Operations  (PPL)

In late July 2007, PPL completed a review of strategic options for its natural gas distribution and propane businesses and announced its intention to sell these businesses, which are included in the Pennsylvania Delivery segment.

PPL is currently analyzing the accounting impact of its decision to sell these businesses and has not yet determined whether an impairment charge would be required in the third quarter of 2007.

Proceeds of the sale are expected to be used to invest in growth opportunities in PPL's core electricity supply and delivery businesses and/or for the repurchase of securities, including PPL common stock.  PPL expects the sale to be completed during the second half of 2008, following the execution of a sales agreement and the receipt of all necessary regulatory approvals.

International (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Sales

In 2005, WPD sold an equity investment by transferring substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the two subsidiaries that held the investment, receiving $9 million (at then-current exchange rates).  The gain was deferred until WPD's continuing involvement in the subsidiaries ceased.  In July 2006, WPD ceased involvement with one subsidiary.  At that time, PPL Global recognized a pre-tax gain of $5 million.  In December 2006, WPD ceased involvement in the other subsidiary.  In the first quarter of 2007, due to the one-month lag in foreign subsidiary reporting, PPL Global recognized the remaining pre-tax gain of $5 million.  These gains are included in "Other Income - net" on the Statements of Income.

In March 2006, PPL Global completed the sale of its minority interest in Aguaytia Energy, LLC, a combined generating and natural gas facility in Peru.  PPL Global received $15 million from the sale, and recorded a pre-tax gain of $3 million, which is included in "Other Income - net" on the Statement of Income.

Other

In February 2006, WPD received legal notification citing one of its real estate investments as an environmentally protected area, thus restricting planned development.  An impairment assessment was performed based on a third-party appraisal.  As a result, in the first quarter of 2006, PPL Global recorded an impairment charge of $8 million ($6 million after tax), which is included in "Other Income - net" on the Statement of Income.

In 2000, WPD acquired Hyder.  Subsequently, WPD sold the majority of Hyder's non-electricity delivery businesses and placed the remaining companies in liquidation.  In March 2006, WPD received $24 million in proceeds as an initial distribution related to the planned ongoing liquidation of the remaining non-electricity delivery businesses.  These proceeds were included in the second quarter 2006 financial results due to the one-month lag in foreign subsidiary reporting.  In December 2006, WPD received a further distribution of $4 million, which was included in the first quarter 2007 financial results.  In March 2007, WPD received a further distribution of $2 million, which was included in the second quarter 2007 financial results.  These distributions are included in "Other Income - net" on the Statements of Income.  The Hyder non-electricity delivery businesses are substantially liquidated.  WPD expects to receive liquidation distributions of up to approximately $3 million, the majority of which is expected to be received by the end of 2007.  WPD continues to operate the Hyder electricity delivery business.

Discontinued Operations (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Sale of Latin American Businesses

In March 2007, PPL completed a review of strategic options for its Latin American businesses and announced its intention to sell its regulated electricity delivery businesses in Chile, El Salvador and Bolivia, which are included in the International Delivery segment.

In April 2007, PPL agreed to sell its Bolivian businesses to a group organized by local management and employees of the companies.  As a result of the decision to sell, PPL recorded a $34 million, or $22 million after tax, impairment of the Bolivian businesses in the first quarter of 2007 based on their estimated fair value.  In the second quarter of 2007, an additional pre- and after-tax impairment of $2 million was recorded primarily to offset the current period earnings.  This sale was completed in July 2007.

In May 2007, PPL completed the sale of its El Salvadoran business for $180 million in cash through a stock purchase agreement.  PPL recorded a gain of $94 million, or $89 million after tax, as a result of the sale.

The Chilean electricity delivery business is expected to be sold through an auction process, which is anticipated to be completed in 2007.
 
Proceeds of the sales are expected to be used to invest in growth opportunities in PPL's core electricity supply and delivery businesses and/or for the repurchase of securities, including PPL common stock.  In accordance with SFAS 144, the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, have been classified as discontinued operations on the Statements of Income.  At June 30, 2007, the assets, liabilities and minority interest related to the yet to be completed divestitures of the Bolivian and Chilean businesses are reflected in the Balance Sheet as "held for sale."

Following are the components of "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations" on the Statements of Income related to PPL's Latin American regulated electricity delivery businesses.

Sale of Interest in Griffith Plant

In June 2006, a subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply, which is included in the Supply segment, sold its 50% ownership interest in the 600 MW Griffith power plant located in Kingman, Arizona, for $110 million in cash, adjusted by the $5 million settlement related to steam turbine indemnifications in December 2006.  Proceeds of the sale were used to fund a portion of PPL's capital expenditure requirements.  The book value of PPL's interest in the plant was $150 million on the sale date.

Following are the components of "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations" on the Statement of Income related to the sale of PPL's interest in the Griffith plant.

In July 2007, PPL Electric conducted the first of six competitive solicitations to purchase electricity generation supply in 2010, after its existing PLR contract expires, for customers who do not choose a competitive supplier.  Competitive bids were solicited for 850 MW of generation supply, or one-sixth of PPL Electric's expected supply requirements for these customers in 2010.  PPL EnergyPlus was one of the successful bidders for 671 MW, with unrelated parties providing the remaining solicited generation supply.  For this solicitation, the average generation supply price for 2010, including Pennsylvania gross receipts tax, is $96.30 per MWh for residential customers and $99.46 per MWh for small commercial and industrial customers.  See Note 11 for additional information on the existing PLR contracts and the 2010 Supply Master Agreement with PPL EnergyPlus.

Energy Sales Commitments

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In connection with its marketing activities or associated with certain of its power plants, PPL Energy Supply enters into long-term power sales contracts that extend for terms through 2017.  All long-term contracts were executed at prices that approximated market, including estimated profit margins, at the time of execution.

In 2007, PPL Energy Supply has entered into full requirements and retail contracts with various counterparties.  These contracts commence in mid-2007, extending through 2012.

Under these contracts, if PPL Energy Supply's credit rating falls below investment grade or PPL Energy Supply's contract exposure exceeds the established credit limit for the contract, then the counterparty has the right to request collateral from PPL Energy Supply.  At June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006, an insignificant amount of collateral was posted under these contracts.

(PPL Energy Supply)

See Note 11 for information on the power supply agreements under which PPL EnergyPlus has entered into full requirements contracts with PPL Electric energy and capacity to fulfill PPL Electric's PLR obligation through 2010.

PPL Montana Hydroelectric License Commitments (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Montana has 11 hydroelectric facilities and one storage reservoir licensed by the FERC pursuant to the Federal Power Act under long-term licenses.  Pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Power Act, the FERC approved the transfer from Montana Power to PPL Montana of all pertinent licenses and any amendments in connection with the Montana Asset Purchase Agreement.

The Kerr Dam Project license was jointly issued by the FERC to Montana Power and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation in 1985, and required Montana Power to hold and operate the project for 30 years.  The license required Montana Power, and subsequently PPL Montana as a result of the purchase of the Kerr Dam from Montana Power, to continue to implement a plan to mitigate the impact of the Kerr Dam on fish, wildlife and the habitat.  Under this arrangement, PPL Montana has a remaining commitment to spend $18 million between 2007 and 2015, in addition to the annual rental it pays to the tribes.  Between 2015 and 2025, the tribes have the option to purchase, hold and operate the project for the remainder of the license term of 2035.

PPL Montana entered into two Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with state, federal and private entities related to the issuance in 2000 of the FERC renewal license for the nine dams for the Missouri-Madison project.  The MOUs require PPL Montana to implement plans to mitigate the impact of its projects on fish, wildlife and the habitat, and to increase recreational opportunities.  The MOUs were created to maximize collaboration between the parties and enhance the possibility for matching funds from relevant federal agencies.  Under this arrangement, PPL Montana has a remaining commitment to spend $30 million between 2007 and 2040.

Settlement of Enron Receivables (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL and PPL Energy Supply had significant specific reserves related to receivables from Enron Corporation (Enron), which filed for bankruptcy in 2001.  The reserves related to Enron were for claims against Enron North America and Enron Power Marketing (Enron Subsidiaries), and against Enron, which had guaranteed the Enron Subsidiaries' performance (Enron Corporation Guarantees).

In March 2006, the U.S. Bankruptcy Court approved agreements between Enron and PPL Energy Supply that settled the litigation between PPL Energy Supply and Enron regarding the validity and enforceability of the Enron Corporation Guarantees.  As a result of the Bankruptcy Court's approval of the settlement of the Enron Corporation Guarantees litigation and an assessment of current market price quotes for the purchase of Enron claims, PPL Energy Supply reduced the associated allowance for doubtful accounts in the first quarter of 2006 by $15 million, or $9 million after tax.

In July 2006, PPL executed an agreement to sell all of its Enron claims to an independent third party for $17 million and further reduced the associated allowance for doubtful accounts in the second quarter of 2006 by $4 million, or $2 million after tax.  PPL received the payment in July 2006.

Legal Matters

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL and its subsidiaries are involved in legal proceedings, claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business.  PPL and its subsidiaries cannot predict the outcome of such matters, or whether such matters may result in material liabilities.

Montana Power Shareholders' Litigation  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In August 2001, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed by a group of shareholders of Montana Power against Montana Power, the directors of Montana Power, certain advisors and consultants of Montana Power, and PPL Montana.  The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Montana Power was required to, and did not, obtain shareholder approval of the sale of Montana Power's generation assets to PPL Montana in 1999, and thus that sale "was null and void ab initio."  Among the remedies that the plaintiffs are seeking is the establishment of a "resulting and/or constructive trust" on both the generation assets and all profits earned by PPL Montana from the generation assets, plus interest on the amounts subject to the trust.  This lawsuit has been pending in the U.S. District Court of Montana, Butte Division, and the judge has placed this proceeding on hold pending the outcome of certain motions currently before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware, the resolution of which may impact this proceeding.  The judge in this case has indicated that he plans to hold a status conference for the purpose of resuming proceedings.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Montana Hydroelectric Litigation  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In November 2004, PPL Montana, Avista Corporation and PacifiCorp commenced an action for declaratory judgment in Montana First Judicial District Court seeking a determination that no lease payments or other compensation for their hydropower facilities' use and occupancy of streambeds in Montana can be collected by the State of Montana.  This request for declaratory judgment from the Montana state court was brought following the dismissal of the State of Montana's federal lawsuit seeking such payments or compensation in the U.S. District Court of Montana, Missoula Division, on jurisdictional grounds.  The State's federal lawsuit was founded on allegations that the bed of Montana's navigable rivers became state-owned property upon Montana's admission to statehood, and that the use of them for placement of dam structures, affiliated structures and reservoirs should, under an existing regulatory scheme, trigger lease payments for use of land underneath.  In July 2006, the Montana state court approved a stipulation by the State of Montana that it is not seeking any lease payments or other compensation from PPL Montana for the period prior to PPL Montana's acquisition of the hydropower facilities in December 1999.  The trial for this state court proceeding has been scheduled to commence in October 2007.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Regulatory Issues

California ISO and Western Markets  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Through its subsidiaries, PPL made $18 million of sales to the California ISO during the period from October 2000 through June 2001, of which $17 million has not been paid to PPL subsidiaries.  Given the myriad of electricity supply problems presently faced by the California electric utilities and the California ISO, PPL cannot predict whether or when it will receive payment.  At June 30, 2007, PPL continues to be fully reserved for underrecoveries of payments for these sales.

Regulatory proceedings arising out of the California electricity supply situation have been filed at the FERC.  The FERC has determined that all sellers of energy into markets operated by the California ISO and the California Power Exchange, including PPL Montana, should be subject to refund liability for the period beginning October 2, 2000 through June 20, 2001, but the FERC has not yet ruled on the exact amounts that the sellers, including PPL Montana, would be required to refund.  In decisions in September 2004 and August 2006, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the FERC had the additional legal authority to order refunds for periods prior to October 2, 2000, and ordered the FERC to determine whether or not it would be appropriate to grant such additional refunds.  As part of its August 2006 decision, the Court stayed the time to petition for rehearing of the decision and its mandate to the FERC in order to allow the parties time to conduct settlement discussions.

In June 2003, the FERC took several actions as a result of a number of related investigations.  The FERC terminated proceedings to consider whether to order refunds for spot market bilateral sales made in the Pacific Northwest, including sales made by PPL Montana, during the period December 2000 through June 2001.  The FERC also commenced additional investigations relating to "gaming" and bidding practices during 2000 and 2001, but, to their knowledge, neither PPL EnergyPlus nor PPL Montana is a subject of these investigations.

Litigation arising out of the California electricity supply situation has been filed in California courts against sellers of energy to the California ISO.  The plaintiffs and intervenors in these legal proceedings allege, among other things, abuse of market power, manipulation of market prices, unfair trade practices and violations of state antitrust laws, and seek other relief, including treble damages and attorneys' fees.  While PPL's subsidiaries have not been named by the plaintiffs in these legal proceedings, one defendant in a consolidated court proceeding named PPL Montana in its cross-complaint; this defendant denied any unlawful conduct but asserted that, if it is found liable, the other generators and power marketers, including PPL Montana, caused, contributed to and/or participated in the plaintiffs' alleged losses.  In July 2006, the Court dismissed this case as the result of a settlement under which PPL Montana was not required to make any payments or provide any compensation.

In February 2004, the Montana Public Service Commission (PSC) initiated a limited investigation of the Montana retail electricity market for the years 2000 and 2001, focusing on how that market was affected by transactions involving the possible manipulation of the electricity grid in the western U.S.  The investigation includes all public utilities and licensed electricity suppliers in Montana, including PPL Montana, as well as other entities that may possess relevant information.  In June 2004, the Montana Attorney General served PPL Montana and more than 20 other companies with subpoenas requesting documents, and PPL Montana has provided responsive documents to the Montana Attorney General.

While PPL and its subsidiaries believe that they have not engaged in any improper trading or marketing practices affecting the California and western markets, PPL cannot predict the outcome of the above-described investigations, lawsuits and proceedings or whether any PPL subsidiaries will be the target of any additional governmental investigations or named in other lawsuits or refund proceedings.

PJM Capacity Litigation (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In December 2002, PPL was served with a complaint against PPL, PPL EnergyPlus and PPL Electric filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by a group of 14 Pennsylvania boroughs that apparently alleged, among other things, violations of the federal antitrust laws in connection with the pricing of installed capacity in the PJM daily market during the first quarter of 2001 and certain breach of contract claims.  These boroughs were wholesale customers of PPL Electric.  In April 2006, the Court dismissed all of the federal antitrust claims and all of the breach of contract claims except for one breach of contract claim by one of the boroughs.  In May 2007, the Court withdrew its April 2006 decision as to one of the federal antitrust claims, but directed additional briefing on alternative grounds for dismissal of that claim.  PPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

Each of the U.S. Department of Justice - Antitrust Division, the FERC and the Pennsylvania Attorney General conducted investigations regarding PPL's PJM capacity market transactions in early 2001 and did not find any reason to take action against PPL.

New England Investigation  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In January 2004, PPL became aware of an investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General and the FERC's Office of Market Oversight and Investigation (OMOI) regarding allegations that natural gas-fired generators located in New England illegally sold natural gas instead of generating electricity during the week of January 12, 2004.  PPL has responded to a data request of OMOI that indicated that PPL was not under suspicion of a regulatory violation, but that OMOI was conducting an initial investigation.  PPL also has responded to data requests of ISO New England and data requests served by subpoena from the Connecticut Attorney General.  Both OMOI and ISO New England have issued preliminary reports finding no regulatory or other violations concerning these matters.  While PPL does not believe that it committed any regulatory or other violations concerning the subject matter of these investigations, PPL cannot predict the outcome of these investigations.

PJM Billing  (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In December 2004, Exelon Corporation, on behalf of its subsidiary, PECO Energy, Inc. (PECO), filed a complaint against PJM and PPL Electric with the FERC alleging that PJM had overcharged PECO from April 1998 through May 2003 as a result of an error by PJM in the State Estimator Model used in connection with billing all PJM customers for certain transmission, spot market energy and ancillary services charges.  Specifically, the complaint alleged that PJM mistakenly identified PPL Electric's Elroy substation transformer as belonging to PECO and that, as a consequence, during times of congestion, PECO's bills for transmission congestion from PJM erroneously reflected energy that PPL Electric took from the Elroy substation and used to serve PPL Electric's load.  The complaint requested the FERC, among other things, to direct PPL Electric to refund to PJM $39 million, plus interest of $8 million, and for PJM to refund these same amounts to PECO.

In April 2005, the FERC determined that PECO was entitled to reimbursement for the transmission congestion charges that PECO asserts PJM erroneously billed to it at the Elroy substation.  The FERC set for additional proceedings before a judge the determination of the amount of the overcharge to PECO and which PJM market participants were undercharged and therefore are responsible for reimbursement to PECO.

PPL Electric recognized an after-tax charge of $27 million in the first quarter of 2005 for a loss contingency related to this matter.  The pre-tax accrual was $47 million, with $39 million included in "Energy purchases" on the Statement of Income, and $8 million in "Interest Expense."

In September 2005, PPL Electric and Exelon Corporation filed a proposed settlement agreement regarding this matter with the FERC.  In March 2006, the FERC rejected the settlement agreement indicating that the agreement involves material issues of fact that it cannot decide without further information, and ordered the matter to be set for hearing.

Subsequently, in March 2006, PPL Electric and Exelon filed with the FERC a new proposed settlement agreement under which PPL Electric would have paid approximately $41 million over a five-year period to PJM through a new transmission charge.  Pursuant to this proposed agreement, PJM would have forwarded the amounts collected under this new charge to PECO.

In November 2006, the FERC entered an order accepting the parties' March 2006 proposed settlement agreement, upon the condition that PPL Electric agree to certain modifications.  The FERC's acceptance was conditioned upon reimbursement to PECO through a single credit to PECO's monthly PJM bill and a corresponding charge on PPL Electric's monthly PJM bill, rather than through a PJM Tariff transmission charge applicable only to PPL Electric.  The FERC ordered PPL Electric to advise the FERC within 30 days as to whether it would accept or reject the proposed modifications.

In December 2006, PPL Electric and Exelon filed with the FERC, pursuant to the November 2006 order, a modified offer of settlement (Compliance Filing).  Under the Compliance Filing, PPL Electric would make a single payment through its monthly PJM bill of $38 million, plus interest through the date of payment, and PJM would include a single credit for this amount in PECO's monthly PJM bill.  Through December 31, 2006, the estimated interest on this payment was $4 million, for a total PPL Electric payment of $42 million.

Based on the terms of the Compliance Filing and the effective date and provisions of power supply agreements between PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus, PPL determined that PPL Electric was responsible for the claims prior to July 1, 2000 (totaling $12 million), and that PPL EnergyPlus was responsible for the claims subsequent to that date (totaling $30 million).

Based on the Compliance Filing, PPL and PPL Electric reduced the recorded loss accrual by $5 million at December 31, 2006.  PPL Electric also recorded a receivable from PPL EnergyPlus of $30 million at December 31, 2006, for the portion of the claims allocated to PPL EnergyPlus.  As a result of the reduction of the loss accrual and the allocation to PPL EnergyPlus, PPL Electric recorded credits to expense of $35 million on the Statement of Income, including $28 million of "Energy purchases" and $7 million of "Interest Expense."

PPL Energy Supply recorded a loss accrual of $30 million at December 31, 2006, for its share of the claims, and recorded a corresponding payable to PPL Electric.  PPL EnergyPlus recorded $27 million of "Energy purchases" and $3 million of "Interest Expense" on the Statement of Income.

In March 2007, the FERC entered an order approving the Compliance Filing.  In April 2007, PPL Electric paid PJM the full settlement amount of $43 million, including additional interest of $1 million recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2007.  This proceeding is now terminated.

FERC Market-Based Rate Authority  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In December 1998, the FERC issued an order authorizing PPL EnergyPlus to make wholesale sales of electric power and related products at market-based rates.  In that order, the FERC directed PPL EnergyPlus to file an updated market analysis within three years of the date of the order, and every three years thereafter.  The most recent market-based rate filings with the FERC were made in November 2004 by PPL EnergyPlus, PPL Electric, PPL Montana and most of PPL Generation's subsidiaries.  These filings consisted of a Western market-based rate filing for PPL Montana and an Eastern market-based rate filing for most of the other PPL subsidiaries in the PJM region.

In September 2005, the FERC issued an order conditionally approving the Eastern market-based rate filing, subject to PPL subsidiaries making a compliance filing providing further support that they cannot erect other non-transmission barriers to entry into the generation market.  The PPL subsidiaries made this compliance filing in October 2005, which the FERC accepted.

In May 2006, the FERC issued an order rejecting the claims of the various parties in the proceeding regarding PPL's Western market-based rate filing and granting PPL Montana market-based rate authority in NorthWestern's control area.  In July 2007, the FERC denied two outstanding requests for rehearing of the FERC's order.  While PPL Montana continues to believe that it does not have market power in NorthWestern's control area and that it has no obligations to make additional sales of power to NorthWestern regardless of the outcome of this proceeding, it cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.

Currently, if a seller is granted market-based rate authority by the FERC, it may enter into power contracts during the time period for which such authority has been granted.  If the FERC determines that the market is not workably competitive or the seller possesses market power or is not charging just and reasonable rates, the FERC institutes prospective action.  Any contracts entered into pursuant to the FERC's market-based rate authority remain in effect and are generally subject to a high standard of review before the FERC can order any changes.  Recent court decisions by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit have raised issues that may make it more difficult for the FERC to continue its program of promoting wholesale electricity competition through market-based rate authority.  These court decisions permit retroactive refunds and a lower standard of review by the FERC for changing power contracts, and could have the effect of requiring the FERC to review in advance most, if not all, power contracts.  The FERC has not yet taken action in response to these recent court decisions, and the decisions have been or are expected to be appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.  At this time, PPL cannot predict the impact of these court decisions on the FERC's future market-based rate authority program or on PPL's business.

Illinois Auction Complaints  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

As a result of the Electric Service Customer Choice and Rate Relief Law of 1997, the Illinois General Assembly provided the opportunity for power suppliers to compete to supply power to Illinois electric utilities to meet the full requirements of all non-shopping Illinois electricity customers.  The Illinois Commerce Commission (ICC) conducted an auction for supply of up to 25,474 MW of peak load and hired an independent Auction Monitor for this purpose.  PPL EnergyPlus submitted bids in this Illinois auction process and, as a result, in September 2006 entered into three agreements with Commonwealth Edison Company to supply a portion of its full requirements service.  These agreements commenced in January 2007 and expire after 17, 29 and 41 months.  During peak hours, PPL EnergyPlus' obligation to supply Commonwealth Edison may reach 700 MW.  At the conclusion of the auction process, the Auction Monitor and the ICC Staff both concluded that the auction process was competitive.

In March 2007, the Illinois Attorney General filed a complaint at the FERC against all of the successful bidders in this auction process, including PPL EnergyPlus and fifteen other suppliers, alleging market manipulation and requesting that the FERC investigate such allegations, requesting refunds for sales at prices above just and reasonable rates and seeking revocation of the FERC market-based rate authority for certain of the suppliers.  PPL EnergyPlus is not identified in the complaint as a supplier which allegedly engaged in market manipulation or which should have its market-based rate authority revoked.

In June 2007, PPL EnergyPlus filed an answer requesting dismissal of the complaint.  In July 2007, the Illinois Attorney General asked the FERC to hold this proceeding in abeyance pending a possible settlement among the Illinois parties, stating that such a settlement, if finalized, would result in dismissal of its FERC complaint.

Subsequent to the Illinois Attorney General's complaint, two class actions were filed in Illinois State Court in Cook County against all successful bidders in the Illinois auction, including PPL EnergyPlus, alleging violations of unfair trade practices laws.  The factual allegations appear similar to those in the Attorney General's complaint.  While PPL and PPL Energy Supply do not currently believe that these matters will have a material adverse impact on the financial condition of PPL and PPL Energy Supply, they cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Wallingford Cost-Based Rates (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In January 2003, PPL negotiated an agreement with ISO New England that would declare that four of the five units at PPL's Wallingford, Connecticut facility are "reliability must run" (RMR) units and put those units under cost-based rates.  This RMR agreement and the cost-based rates are subject to approval by the FERC.  In May 2003, the FERC denied PPL's request for approval of the RMR agreement and cost-based rates, but in August 2005, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit reversed the FERC's denial and remanded the case to the FERC for further consideration.  In April 2006, the FERC conditionally approved the RMR agreement and the cost-based rates for the four Wallingford units, effective February 1, 2003, subject to refund, hearing and settlement procedures.  The FERC ordered a hearing to determine whether the Wallingford units needed the RMR agreement, the proposed cost-based rates under the RMR agreement and the amounts to be recovered for past periods under the RMR agreement.  Any rates collected under the RMR agreement prior to the completion of the hearing and/or settlement proceedings are subject to refund pending the outcome of the proceedings.  The hearing has been held in abeyance pending the outcome of the settlement proceedings among the interested parties.

In September 2006, PPL and certain of the parties filed a written settlement with the FERC.  The settlement is unopposed and resolves all issues in the pending proceeding, including payments to PPL for the past period and going forward.  Under the terms of the settlement, PPL would receive a total of $44 million in settlement of amounts due under the RMR agreement for the period February 1, 2003 through May 31, 2006.  This amount (plus interest) would be paid to PPL in approximately equal monthly installments over a two-year period.  In addition, PPL would enter into a revised RMR Agreement effective as of June 1, 2006, under which it would be entitled to receive $2 million per month for its recovery of fixed costs while the agreement remains in effect.  PPL has deferred $20 million of payments related to the pending RMR settlement as of June 30, 2007.  In October 2006, the administrative law judge assigned to this matter certified the settlement to the FERC for its consideration as an uncontested settlement.

In March 2007, the FERC approved the settlement agreement, subject to the condition that the parties file revisions to provide that the FERC will be bound to the "just and reasonable" and not the "public interest" standard of review in its consideration of modifications to the agreement.  In compliance with the March 2007 order, PPL and the other settling parties submitted a compliance filing to the FERC in April 2007, revising the settlement offer and the RMR agreement to accept this condition.  PPL is awaiting the FERC's order on the compliance filing.

In June 2007, the RMR agreement terminated in accordance with the settlement to allow the four Wallingford RMR units to participate in ISO New England's locational forward reserve market.  The ISO New England locational forward reserve market provides revenues to peaking generation units that can quickly come on line from reserve status to meet reliability requirements.

Montana Public Service Commissioner's Litigation  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In May 2006, one of the commissioners of the Montana PSC commenced an action in Montana First Judicial District Court against PPL Montana and the Montana PSC seeking to cause the Montana PSC to reverse its 1999 order consenting to EWG status for PPL Montana's power plants.  In 1999, the FERC had granted the plants EWG status and the authority to sell electricity produced at market-based rates, and the Montana PSC consented to this status for PPL Montana's plants under a provision of federal law.  In September 2006, the Court granted PPL Montana's and the Montana PSC's motions to dismiss this action.  The plaintiff has appealed the dismissal of the lawsuit to the Montana Supreme Court.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply continue to believe that this lawsuit is groundless and beyond the statute of limitations period, but cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits  (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL, through its subsidiaries, has interests in two synthetic fuel production facilities: the Somerset facility located in Pennsylvania and the Tyrone facility located in Kentucky.  PPL receives tax credits pursuant to Section 29/45K of the Internal Revenue Code based on the sale of synthetic fuel from these facilities.  Section 29/45K tax credits are currently scheduled to expire at the end of 2007.

To qualify for the Section 29/45K tax credits, the synthetic fuel must meet three primary conditions: (i) there must be a significant chemical change in the coal feedstock, (ii) the product must be sold to an unaffiliated entity, and (iii) the production facility must have been placed in service before July 1, 1998.

In addition, Section 29/45K provides for the synthetic fuel tax credit to begin to phase out when the relevant annual reference price for crude oil, which is the domestic first purchase price (DFPP), falls within a designated range and to be eliminated when the DFPP exceeds the range.  The phase-out range is adjusted annually for inflation.  Currently, the DFPP is published by the IRS annually in April for the prior year and is calculated based on the annual average wellhead price per barrel for all unregulated domestic crude oil.  At December 31, 2006, PPL had estimated a phase-out of approximately 35% of the gross-tax credits in 2006.  Based on the final published DFPP reference price for 2006, the phase-out percentage for 2006 is now expected to be approximately 33%.  A final calculation of the related 2006 tax credits net of the revised phase-out will be made upon receipt of all relevant tax information.  PPL does not expect the actual net tax credits to be materially different than those estimated at December 31, 2006.

PPL currently estimates the phase-out range for 2007 to begin at about $57 per barrel (DFPP) and the tax credits to be totally eliminated at about $71 per barrel (DFPP).  PPL currently expects a phase-out of approximately 17% of the gross tax credits produced in 2007, based on its estimate of the DFPP reference price and the phase-out range applicable for 2007.  If the price of crude oil increases above current price levels in 2007, PPL's synthetic fuel tax credits for 2007 could be significantly reduced or eliminated.  PPL cannot predict or estimate with any certainty the final DFPP reference price for crude oil or the phase-out range for 2007.

The synthetic fuel produced at the Somerset and Tyrone facilities has resulted in an aggregate recognition of tax credits of an estimated $319 million for Somerset and $116 million for Tyrone as of June 30, 2007, including estimated amounts for the first half of 2007.  After considering the estimated 2007 phase-out of approximately 17%, PPL recognized $14 million and $28 million of tax credits for Somerset and $11 million and $23 million of tax credits for Tyrone for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

PPL has economic hedge transactions for 2007 that are expected to mitigate PPL's tax credit phase-out risk due to an increase of the DFPP reference price in 2007.  The mark-to-market value of these hedges is reflected in "Energy-related businesses" revenues on the Statement of Income.  Such hedge transactions do not mitigate any ongoing operational or production risks associated with the Tyrone and Somerset facilities.

PPL performed impairment reviews of both its synthetic fuel production facilities during the second quarter of 2006.  The reviews were prompted by the temporary suspension of operations at Somerset in April 2006, the uncertainty surrounding the future operations of each of the facilities and continued observed and forecasted high crude oil prices at that time.  PPL determined that the net book value of the facilities exceeded the projected undiscounted cash flows.  Therefore, in the second quarter of 2006, PPL recorded charges totaling $10 million ($6 million after tax) to fully impair its synfuel-related assets based on an internal model and other analysis.  The impairment charges were reflected in "Energy-related businesses" expenses on the Statements of Income.  The assets of the facilities are a component of the Supply segment.

PPL also purchases synthetic fuel from unaffiliated third parties, at prices below the market price of coal, for use at its coal-fired power plants.  Fuel cost savings for the first half of 2007 were $11 million.  PPL estimates that, unless these third parties discontinue their synthetic fuel operations and sales to PPL due to the impact of projected DFPP oil prices or otherwise, its purchases from these parties will result in fuel cost savings for the remainder of 2007 of $14 million assuming full production throughout the year.

In October 2003, it was reported that the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, had begun an investigation of the synthetic fuel industry and its producers.  That investigation is ongoing.  PPL cannot predict when the investigation will be completed or the potential results of the investigation.

Energy Policy Act of 2005  (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In August 2005, President Bush signed into law the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the 2005 Energy Act).  The 2005 Energy Act is comprehensive legislation that will substantially affect the regulation of energy companies.  The Act amends federal energy laws and provides the FERC with new oversight responsibilities.  Among the important changes that have been or will be implemented as a result of this legislation are:

·
The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935 has been repealed.  PUHCA significantly restricted mergers and acquisitions in the electric utility sector.
·
The FERC has appointed the North American Electric Reliability Council as the electric reliability organization to establish and enforce mandatory reliability standards (Reliability Standards) regarding the bulk power system, and the FERC will oversee this process and independently enforce the Reliability Standards, as further described below.
·
The FERC will establish incentives for transmission companies, such as performance-based rates, recovery of the costs to comply with reliability rules and accelerated depreciation for investments in transmission infrastructure.
·
The Price-Anderson Amendments Act of 1988, which provides the framework for nuclear liability protection, was extended to 2025.

Federal support will be available for certain clean coal power initiatives, nuclear power projects and renewable energy technologies.

The implementation of the 2005 Energy Act requires proceedings at the state level and the development of regulations, some of which have not been finalized, by the FERC, the DOE and other federal agencies.  PPL cannot predict when all of these proceedings and regulations will be finalized.

Upon implementation, the Reliability Standards will have the force and effect of law, and will apply to all users of the bulk power electricity system, including electric utility companies, generators and marketers.  The FERC has indicated that it intends to vigorously enforce the Reliability Standards using, among other means, civil penalty authority.  The first group of Reliability Standards approved by the FERC became effective in June 2007.  At this time, although PPL believes it is in compliance, PPL cannot predict the impact that the Reliability Standards will have on PPL, including its capital and operating expenditures, but such compliance costs could be significant.

PPL also cannot predict with certainty the impact of the other provisions of the 2005 Energy Act and any related regulations on PPL and its subsidiaries.

Environmental Matters - Domestic

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Due to the environmental issues discussed below or other environmental matters, PPL subsidiaries may be required to modify, replace or cease operating certain facilities to comply with statutes, regulations and actions by regulatory bodies or courts.  In this regard, PPL subsidiaries also may incur capital expenditures or operating expenses in amounts which are not now determinable, but could be significant.

Air (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

The Clean Air Act deals, in part, with acid rain, attainment of federal ambient ozone standards, particulate matter standards and toxic air emissions and visibility in the U.S. Amendments to the Clean Air Act requiring additional emission reductions are likely to continue to be brought up for consideration in the U.S. Congress.  The Clean Air Act allows states to develop more stringent regulations and in some instances, as further discussed below, Pennsylvania and Montana have chosen to do so.

Clean Air Interstate Rule

Citing its authority under the Clean Air Act, the EPA has developed new standards for ambient levels of ozone and fine particulates in the U.S.  These standards have been upheld following court challenges.  To facilitate attainment of these standards, the EPA has promulgated the Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR) for 28 midwestern and eastern states, including Pennsylvania, to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions by about 50% by 2010 and to extend the current seasonal program for reduction in emissions of nitrogen oxides to a year-round program starting in 2009.  The CAIR requires further reductions in the CAIR region, starting in 2015, in sulfur dioxide of 30% from 2010 levels, and nitrogen oxides during the ozone season of 17%, from 2009 levels.  The CAIR allows these reductions to be achieved through cap-and-trade programs.  Pennsylvania has not challenged the CAIR, but the rule has been challenged by several states and environmental groups as not being sufficiently strict, and by industry petitioners as being too strict.  In addition, several Canadian environmental groups have petitioned the EPA under the Clean Air Act to revise the CAIR to require deeper reductions in sulfur dioxide and mercury emissions, and the Ozone Transport Commission (OTC) (consisting of Pennsylvania and 11 other states and the District of Columbia) has passed a resolution calling for reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides that are more stringent than those under CAIR.  However, the OTC has not taken any further action in this regard.

In order to continue meeting existing sulfur dioxide reduction requirements of the Clean Air Act, including CAIR, PPL is installing scrubbers at its Montour and Brunner Island plants.  The scrubbers for both Montour units and Unit 3 at Brunner Island are expected to be in-service during 2008 and the scrubber for Units 1 and 2 at Brunner Island is expected to be in-service during 2009.  Based on expected levels of generation and projected emission allowance prices, PPL has determined that it is more economic to install these scrubbers than to purchase significant additional emission allowances to make up the emission allowance shortfalls that would otherwise occur.  In order to meet the year-round reductions in nitrogen oxides under CAIR, PPL's current plan is to operate the SCRs at Montour Units 1 and 2 year-round, optimize emission reductions from the existing combustion controls and purchase any needed emission allowances on the open market.  PPL's current installation plan for the scrubbers and other pollution control equipment (primarily aimed at sulfur dioxide, particulate, nitrogen oxides and mercury emissions reduction) through 2011 reflects a total cost of approximately $1.5 billion.  PPL expects a 30 MW reduction in net generation capability at each of the Brunner Island and Montour plants, due to the estimated increases in station service usage during the scrubber operation.

Mercury

Also citing its authority under the Clean Air Act, the EPA has finalized Clean Air Mercury Regulations (CAMR) that affect coal-fired plants.  These regulations establish a cap-and-trade program to take effect in two phases, with a first phase to begin in January 2010, and a second phase with more stringent caps to begin in January 2018.  Under CAMR, each state is allocated a mercury emissions cap and is required to develop state implementing regulations that can follow the federal requirements or be more restrictive.  Several states, including Pennsylvania, have challenged CAMR in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit as not being sufficiently strict.  PPL cannot predict the outcome and impact of that challenge.

Pennsylvania has adopted its own, more stringent mercury rules.  Pennsylvania's rules will require that mercury controls be installed on each coal-fired generating unit; that the EPA's CAMR caps be met at each unit without the benefit of an emissions trading program; and that the second phase of CAMR be accelerated to begin in 2015.

PPL expects that it can achieve the 2010 requirements under Pennsylvania's more stringent mercury rules with only the addition of chemical injection systems.  This expectation is based on the co-benefits of mercury removal from the scrubbers expected to be in place at its Pennsylvania plants as of 2010, and the SCRs already in place at Montour.  PPL currently estimates that the capital cost of such chemical injection systems at its Pennsylvania plants will be approximately $20 million.

Because an emissions trading program is not allowed under Pennsylvania's mercury rules, adsorption/absorption technology with fabric filters may be required at most of PPL's Pennsylvania coal-fired generating units to meet Pennsylvania's second-phase caps beginning in 2015.  Based on current analysis and industry estimates, PPL estimates that if this technology were required at every one of its Pennsylvania units the aggregate capital cost of compliance would be approximately $530 million.

Montana also has finalized its own more stringent rules that would require every coal-fired generating plant in the state to achieve by 2010 reduction levels more stringent than CAMR's 2018 cap.  Because enhanced chemical injection technologies may not be sufficiently developed to meet this level of reductions by 2010, there is a risk that adsorption/absorption technology with fabric filters at both Colstrip and Corette would be required.  Based on current analysis and industry estimates, PPL estimates that its capital cost to achieve compliance at its Montana units would be approximately $140 million.

PPL expects both Pennsylvania's and Montana's mercury rules to be challenged in court.  If those rules are overturned and PPL is instead required to comply with CAMR, PPL expects that it could achieve the 2010 requirements under CAMR in both Pennsylvania and Montana with only the addition of chemical injection systems and allowance purchases.  In addition to the capital cost for the chemical injection systems in Pennsylvania noted above, PPL estimates that its share of the capital cost for such systems in Montana would be approximately $5 million.  With respect to the 2018 requirements under CAMR, PPL currently expects that it would be able to comply in Pennsylvania by installing adsorption/absorption technology with fabric filters on half of its generating capacity at a capital cost of approximately $265 million.  In Montana, PPL currently expects that it could achieve the 2018 CAMR requirements with enhanced chemical injection at modest cost.

Regional Haze and Visibility

In addition to the above rules, the Clean Air Visibility Rule was issued by the EPA on June 15, 2005, to address regional haze or regionally-impaired visibility caused by multiple sources over a wide area.  The rule defines Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements for electric generating units, including presumptive limits for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides controls for large units.  In 2007, PPL must submit to the Pennsylvania DEP and to the EPA (Region 8) its analyses of the visibility impacts of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions from plants covered by the BART rule in each state.  In Pennsylvania, this would include Martins Creek Units 3 and 4, Brunner Island Units 2 and 3 and Montour Units 1 and 2.  In Montana, this would include Colstrip Units 1 and 2 and Corette.

The EPA has stated that the BART rule does not require states to make reductions in sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides beyond those required by CAIR, although states can establish more stringent rules.  The Pennsylvania DEP is not requiring further emission reductions in sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxides.  However, PPL was required to conduct a BART analysis to address particulate matter emissions.  PPL has completed the BART analysis for the Pennsylvania plants and has submitted the analysis to the Pennsylvania DEP.  The analysis indicates that further reductions are not needed.  However, the Pennsylvania DEP has not yet acted on this report.  PPL cannot predict whether the Pennsylvania DEP will require any such additional reductions to address particulate matter emissions.  If the Pennsylvania DEP were to do so, the costs are not now determinable but could be significant.

In Montana, the EPA is administering the BART program.  PPL's analyses to date indicate that the costs of additional controls to meet the BART requirements at Colstrip and Corette should not be significant.  However, the analyses have yet to be submitted and reviewed by the EPA.  PPL anticipates submitting its analyses to the EPA in the third quarter of 2007.

In December 2003, PPL Montana, as operator of the Colstrip facility, received an Administrative Compliance Order (ACO) from the EPA pursuant to the Clean Air Act.  The ACO alleges that Units 3 and 4 of the facility have been in violation of the Clean Air Act permit at Colstrip since 1980.  The permit required Colstrip to submit for review and approval by the EPA an analysis and proposal for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxides to address visibility concerns upon the occurrence of certain triggering events.  The EPA asserted that regulations it promulgated in 1980 triggered this requirement.  PPL believes that the ACO is unfounded.  A settlement in this matter has been reached by PPL and the other Colstrip owners as well as the Northern Cheyenne Tribe and EPA and was entered by the U.S. District Court for the District of Montana.  The agreement calls for installation of low nitrogen oxides emissions equipment on Colstrip Units 3 and 4, payment of a non-material penalty and financing of an energy efficient project.  PPL Montana's cost of this settlement is anticipated to be approximately $4 million.

New Source Review

In 1999, the EPA initiated enforcement actions against several utilities, asserting that older, coal-fired power plants operated by those utilities have, over the years, been modified in ways that subjected them to more stringent "New Source" requirements under the Clean Air Act.  The EPA subsequently issued notices of violation and commenced enforcement activities against other utilities.

However, in the past several years, the EPA has shifted its position on New Source Review.  In 2003, the EPA issued changes to its regulations that clarified what projects are exempt from "New Source" requirements as routine maintenance and repair.  However, these regulations were stayed and subsequently struck down by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit.  Furthermore, in April 2007, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the annual emissions test under which the EPA had found emissions increases at the plants included in its enforcement initiative.  PPL is therefore continuing to operate under the "New Source" regulations as they existed prior to the EPA's 2003 clarifications.

In October 2005, the EPA proposed changing its rules on how to determine whether a project results in an emissions increase and is therefore subject to review under the "New Source" regulations.  The EPA's proposed tests are consistent with the position of energy companies and industry groups and, if adopted, would substantially reduce the uncertainties under the current regulations.  PPL cannot predict whether these proposed new tests will be adopted.  In addition to proposing these new tests, the EPA also announced in October 2005 that it will not bring new enforcement actions with respect to projects that would satisfy the proposed new tests or the EPA's 2003 clarifications referenced above.  Accordingly, PPL believes that it is unlikely that the EPA will follow up on the information requests that had been issued to PPL Montana's Corette and Colstrip plants by EPA Region VIII in 2000 and 2003, respectively, and to PPL Generation's Martins Creek plant by EPA Region III in 2002.  However, states and environmental groups also have been bringing enforcement actions alleging violations of "New Source" requirements by coal-fired plants, and PPL is unable to predict whether such state or citizens enforcement actions will be brought with respect to any of its affiliates' plants.

Opacity

The New Jersey DEP and some New Jersey residents raised environmental concerns with respect to the Martins Creek plant, particularly with respect to sulfur dioxide emissions and the opacity of the plant's plume.  These issues were raised in the context of an appeal by the New Jersey DEP of the Air Quality Plan Approval issued by the Pennsylvania DEP to PPL's Lower Mt. Bethel generating plant.  In October 2003, PPL finalized an agreement with the New Jersey DEP and the Pennsylvania DEP.  Under the agreement, PPL Martins Creek has reduced sulfur dioxide emissions from its Martins Creek power plant and will shut down the plant's two 150 MW coal-fired generating units in September 2007 and may repower them any time after shutting them down so long as it follows all applicable state and federal requirements.  Pursuant to the agreement, the New Jersey DEP withdrew its challenge to the Air Quality Plan Approval for the Lower Mt. Bethel facility.  The agreement will not result in material costs to PPL.  The agreement does not address the issues raised by the New Jersey DEP regarding the visible opacity of emissions from the oil-fired units at the Martins Creek plant.  Similar issues also are being raised by the Pennsylvania DEP.  PPL is continuing to negotiate the matter with the Pennsylvania DEP.  If it is determined that actions must be taken to address the visible opacity of these emissions, such actions could result in costs that are not now determinable, but could be significant.

Global Climate Change  (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In addition to the requirements related to emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and mercury noted above, there is a growing concern nationally and internationally about global climate change and the contribution of emissions of greenhouse gases, including most significantly, carbon dioxide.  This concern has led to increased interest in legislation at the federal level, actions at the state level, as well as litigation relating to greenhouse gas emissions, including a recent U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that the EPA has the authority to regulate carbon dioxide emissions from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act.  Increased pressure for carbon dioxide emissions reduction also is coming from investor organizations and the international community.

On the legislative front, in June 2005, the U.S. Senate adopted a resolution declaring that mandatory reductions in greenhouse gases are needed.  Despite executive branch opposition to any mandatory requirements, several bills that would cap or tax greenhouse gases from electric utilities are being considered by Congress, and the concept of such regulation has received support from the majority leadership in both the U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives.  PPL supports a national program and has publicly supported the key concepts of the "Low Carbon Economy Act of 2007" introduced in the Senate in July 2007.

At the state level, seven northeastern states signed an MOU in 2005, agreeing to establish a cap and trade program, called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI), commencing in January 2009 for stabilization of carbon dioxide emissions, at base levels established in 2005, from electric power plants larger than 25 MW in capacity.  The MOU also provides for a 10% reduction in carbon dioxide emissions from the base levels by the end of 2018.  In August 2006, a Model Rule was developed by these seven states that will form the basis for participants to adopt individual state laws and regulations for program implementation.  Three other states have subsequently joined RGGI, and several other states are considering joining.  A similar effort is under way in the western part of the country with California and several other states also having announced their intention to develop a cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide.

Pennsylvania and Montana have not, at this time, established any mandatory programs to regulate carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.  However, government officials in each state have declared support for state action on climate change issues.  PPL has conducted an inventory of its carbon dioxide emissions and is continuing to evaluate various options for reducing, avoiding, off-setting or sequestering its carbon dioxide emissions.  If legislation or regulations are passed at the federal or state levels imposing mandatory reductions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases on generation facilities, the cost to PPL of such reductions could be significant.

Water/Waste (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Martins Creek Fly Ash Release

In August 2005, there was a release of approximately 100 million gallons of water containing fly ash from a disposal basin at the Martins Creek plant used in connection with the operation of the two 150 MW coal-fired generating units at the plant.  This resulted in ash being deposited onto adjacent roadways and fields, and into a nearby creek and the Delaware River.  The leak was stopped, and PPL has determined that the problem was caused by a failure in the disposal basin's discharge structure.  PPL has conducted extensive clean-up and is continuing to work with the Pennsylvania DEP and other appropriate agencies and consultants to assess whether the leak caused any environmental damage.  PPL shut down the two units in September 2005 and placed the units back in service in December 2005 after completing the repairs and upgrades to the basin and obtaining the Pennsylvania DEP's approval.

The Pennsylvania DEP filed a complaint in Commonwealth Court against PPL Martins Creek and PPL Generation, alleging violations of various state laws and regulations and seeking penalties and injunctive relief.  The Delaware Riverside Conservancy and several citizens have been granted the right, without objection from PPL, to intervene in the Pennsylvania DEP's action.  PPL and the Pennsylvania DEP have reached a tentative settlement for the alleged violations.  The Intervenors have objected to this settlement.  The proposed settlement requires PPL to pay $1.5 million in penalties and reimbursement of the DEP's costs, and requires PPL to submit a report on the completed studies of possible natural resource damages.  PPL has completed the studies in conjunction with a group of natural resource trustees, along with the Delaware River Basin Commission.  PPL expects the trustees and the Delaware River Basin Commission to seek to recover their costs and/or any damages they determine were caused by the leak.  PPL submitted the assessment report to the agencies in June 2007.  Studies to date do not show damages attributable to the leak.  However, the agencies may require additional studies.

In March 2006, several citizens (including some that have intervened in the Pennsylvania DEP's lawsuit) and two businesses filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Warren County, alleging that the fly ash leak caused damage to property along a 40-mile stretch of the Delaware River and asserting that the named plaintiffs are representative of a class of citizens and businesses along the 40-mile stretch of the Delaware River.  PPL exercised its right to move this lawsuit to federal court in New Jersey.  The plaintiffs have since sought voluntary dismissal of this action without prejudice.  This request was granted by the Court, subject to the condition that the plaintiffs may not refile any class action.

During 2005, PPL Energy Supply recognized a $48 million pre-tax charge ($31 million after tax) in connection with the then-expected on-site and off-site costs relating to the remediation.  Based on its ongoing assessment of the expected remediation costs, in the first quarter of 2006 PPL Energy Supply reduced the estimate in connection with the current expected costs of the leak by $3 million, of which $2 million relates to off-site costs and the remainder to on-site costs.  In the second quarter 2006, PPL Energy Supply further reduced the estimate of off-site costs by $8 million, primarily due to an insurance claims settlement.  These reductions were included in "Other operation and maintenance" on the Statement of Income.  At June 30, 2007, management's best estimate of the probable loss associated with the Martins Creek ash basin leak remains at $37 million, of which $31 million related to off-site costs, and the balance to on-site costs.  At June 30, 2007, the remaining contingency for this remediation was $9 million.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot be certain of the outcome of the action initiated by the Pennsylvania DEP, the outcome of the natural resource damage assessment, the outcome of any lawsuit brought by the citizens and businesses and the exact nature of any other regulatory or other legal actions that may be initiated against PPL, PPL Energy Supply or their subsidiaries as a result of the disposal basin leak.

Basin Seepage - Pennsylvania

Seepages have been detected at active and retired wastewater basins at various PPL plants, including the Montour, Brunner Island and Martins Creek generating facilities.  PPL has completed an assessment of some of the seepages at the Montour and Brunner Island facilities and is working with the Pennsylvania DEP to implement abatement measures for those seepages.  PPL is continuing to conduct assessments of other seepages at the Montour and Brunner Island facilities as well as seepages at the Martins Creek facility to determine the appropriate abatement actions.  PPL plans to comprehensively address issues related to wastewater basins at all of its Pennsylvania plants, as part of the process to renew the residual waste permits for these basins that expire within the next two years.  PPL has an insignificant remaining contingency to assess and/or abate seepage from certain facilities and has $5 million in the 2007 capital budget to upgrade and/or replace certain waste water facilities in response to the seepage and other facility changes.  The potential cost to address other seepages or to replace existing wastewater basins at all of PPL's Pennsylvania plants is not now determinable, but could be significant.

Basin Seepage - Montana

In May 2003, approximately 50 plaintiffs brought an action now pending at the Montana Sixteenth Judicial District Court, Rosebud County, against PPL Montana and the other owners of the Colstrip plant alleging property damage from seepage from the freshwater and wastewater ponds at Colstrip.  In February 2007, six plaintiffs filed a separate lawsuit in the same court against the Colstrip plant owners asserting similar claims.  PPL Montana has undertaken certain groundwater investigation and remediation measures at the Colstrip plant to address groundwater contamination alleged by the plaintiffs as well as other groundwater contamination at the plant.  These measures include proceeding with extending city water to certain residents who live near the plant, some of whom are plaintiffs in the original litigation.  Beyond the original estimated reserve of $1 million recorded by PPL Montana in 2004 (of which only an insignificant amount remains at June 30, 2007) for a proposed settlement of the property damage claims raised in the original litigation, for extending city water and for a portion of the remedial investigation costs, PPL Montana may incur further costs based on its additional groundwater investigations and any related remedial measures, which costs are not now determinable, but could be significant.

Other Issues

The EPA has significantly tightened the water quality standard for arsenic.  The revised standard became effective in January 2006 and at this time applies only to drinking water.  The revised standard may result in action by individual states that could require several PPL subsidiaries to either further treat wastewater or take abatement action at their power plants, or both.  The cost of complying with any such requirements is not now determinable, but could be significant.

The EPA finalized requirements in 2004 for new or modified cooling water intake structures.  These requirements affect where generating facilities are built, establish intake design standards, and could lead to requirements for cooling towers at new and modified power plants.  Another rule that was finalized in 2004 addresses existing structures.  Six northeastern states challenged the new rules for existing structures as being inadequate.  In January 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit remanded to the EPA all of the main requirements of the rule for further analysis and rulemaking.  As a result of this court action, the EPA has withdrawn the rule.  Depending on what changes the EPA makes to the rule in accordance with this decision, and/or what actions the states may take on their own, the impacts of the actions could result in stricter standards for existing structures that could impose significant costs on PPL subsidiaries.

PPL has reached a settlement with the Pennsylvania DEP concerning the thermal discharge from its Brunner Island plant into the Susquehanna River.  The settlement commits PPL to install mechanical draft cooling towers at the plant.  PPL expects construction of the cooling towers to begin by the end of 2007 and for the towers to be in service in the spring of 2010.  The expected capital cost of the installation of the towers is $125 million.

The settlement with the Pennsylvania DEP regarding the Brunner Island discharge has been incorporated into a new National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System permit for the plant.  PPL filed an appeal to the permit on issues other than the settlement and settlement has been achieved on these other issues.  The costs of this settlement are not material.

The Susquehanna River Basin Commission (SRBC) has alleged that PPL's Susquehanna plant should have obtained a water withdrawal permit when it upgraded its flow meters in 2001 and 2002.  The SRBC has also alleged that Brunner Island may have violated the SRBC's consumptive use regulations by using more water than it was allowed to under SRBC regulations.  PPL is negotiating both matters with the SRBC, but does not expect resulting penalties to be material.

Superfund and Other Remediation

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL Electric is a potentially responsible party at several sites listed by the EPA under the federal Superfund program, including the Columbia Gas Plant Site.  Clean-up actions have been or are being undertaken at all of these sites, the costs of which have not been significant.  However, should the EPA require significantly different or additional measures in the future, the costs of such measures are not determinable but could be significant.

In 1995, PPL Electric and PPL Generation and, in 1996, PPL Gas Utilities entered into consent orders with the Pennsylvania DEP to address a number of sites that were not being addressed under another regulatory program such as Superfund, but for which PPL Electric, PPL Generation or PPL Gas Utilities may be liable for remediation.  These agreements have now been combined into a single agreement for the companies.  The Consent Order and Agreement (COA) includes potential PCB contamination at certain PPL Electric substations and pole sites; potential contamination at a number of coal gas manufacturing facilities formerly owned or operated by PPL Electric; oil or other contamination that may exist at some of PPL Electric's former generating facilities; and potential contamination at abandoned power plant sites owned by PPL Generation.  This also includes former coal gas manufacturing facilities and potential mercury contamination from gas meters and regulators at PPL Gas Utilities' sites.

As of June 30, 2007, PPL Electric and PPL Gas Utilities have 118 sites (97 well-plugging sites and 21 sites requiring remediation as discussed above) to address under the new combined COA, and currently no PPL Generation sites are included on the COA site list.  Additional sites formerly owned or operated by PPL Electric, PPL Generation or PPL Gas Utilities are added to the COA on a case-by-case basis.

At June 30, 2007, PPL Electric and PPL Gas Utilities had accrued $3 million and $10 million, respectively, representing the estimated amounts each will have to spend for site remediation, including those sites covered by the COA noted above.  Depending on the outcome of investigations at sites where investigations have not begun or have not been completed, the costs of remediation and other liabilities could be substantial.  PPL and its subsidiaries also could incur other non-remediation costs at sites included in the consent orders or other contaminated sites, the costs of which are not now determinable, but could be significant.

The EPA is evaluating the risks associated with naphthalene, a chemical by-product of coal gas manufacturing operations.  As a result of the EPA's evaluation, individual states may establish stricter standards for water quality and soil clean-up.  This could require several PPL subsidiaries to take more extensive assessment and remedial actions at former coal gas manufacturing facilities.  The costs to PPL of complying with any such requirements are not now determinable, but could be significant.

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Under the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law, subsidiaries of PPL Generation are obligated to remediate acid mine drainage at former mine sites and may be required to take additional measures to prevent potential acid mine drainage at previously capped refuse piles.  One PPL Generation subsidiary is pumping mine water at two mine sites, and treating water at one of these sites.  Another PPL Generation subsidiary has installed a passive wetlands treatment system at a third site.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply had accrued a discounted liability of $31 million to cover the costs of pumping and treating groundwater at the two mine sites for 50 years and for operating and maintaining passive wetlands treatment at the third site.  PPL Energy Supply discounted this liability at a rate of 5.82%.  Expected undiscounted payments are estimated at $1 million for each of the years from 2007 through 2011, and the expected payments for the work after 2011 are $116 million.

In 1999, the Montana Supreme Court held in favor of several citizens' groups that the right to a clean and healthful environment is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Montana Constitution.  Currently pending before the Court are three cases relating to the manner in which this fundamental right may be exercised and the proper measurement of damages for environmental impacts to property.  These cases were consolidated for purposes of arguments before the Court.  The Court's ruling on this consolidated litigation could result in significantly more lawsuits under Montana's environmental laws.  The effect on PPL Montana of any such increase in legal actions is not currently determinable, but could be significant.

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Future cleanup or remediation work at sites currently under review, or at sites not currently identified, may result in material additional operating costs for PPL subsidiaries that cannot be estimated at this time.

Gas Seepage  (PPL)

PPL Gas Utilities owns and operates the Meeker gas storage field and has a partial ownership interest in the Tioga gas storage field, both located in north-central Pennsylvania.  There continues to be an issue with natural gas observed in several drinking water wells that the Pennsylvania DEP has been working to address.  The Pennsylvania DEP has raised concerns that potential leakage of natural gas from the Tioga gas storage field could be contributing to this issue.  To help determine the cause of the natural gas in the potable water wells, the Pennsylvania DEP enlisted the services of the U.S. Geological Survey Department.  The results of the U.S. Geological Survey study were published in mid-2007 and indicate that gas in the groundwater in the area, including in certain residential wells, may be due in part to gas stored in the storage fields.  PPL Gas Utilities is currently performing a technical review of the report and continues to work with the Pennsylvania DEP and the co-owner/operator of the Tioga field to resolve the issue.  The costs to resolve this issue are not now determinable, but could be significant.

Electric and Magnetic Fields  (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Concerns have been expressed by some members of the public regarding potential health effects of power frequency EMFs, which are emitted by all devices carrying electricity, including electric transmission and distribution lines and substation equipment.  Government officials in the U.S. and the U.K. have reviewed this issue.  The U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences concluded in 2002 that, for most health outcomes, there is no evidence of EMFs causing adverse effects.  The agency further noted that there is some epidemiological evidence of an association with childhood leukemia, but that this evidence is difficult to interpret without supporting laboratory evidence.  The U.K. National Radiological Protection Board (now part of the U.K. Health Protection Agency) concluded in 2004 that, while the research on EMFs does not provide a basis to find that EMFs cause any illness, there is a basis to consider precautionary measures beyond existing exposure guidelines.  In April 2007, the Stakeholder Group on Extremely Low Frequency EMF, set up by the U.K. Government, issued its interim assessment which describes a number of options for reducing public exposure to EMFs.  This assessment is being considered by the U.K. Government.  PPL and its subsidiaries believe the current efforts to determine whether EMFs cause adverse health effects should continue and are taking steps to reduce EMFs, where practical, in the design of new transmission and distribution facilities.  PPL and its subsidiaries are unable to predict what effect, if any, the EMF issue might have on their operations and facilities either in the U.S. or abroad, and the associated cost, or what, if any, liabilities they might incur related to the EMF issue.

Environmental Matters - International (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

U.K.

WPD's distribution businesses are subject to regulatory and statutory requirements with respect to environmental matters.  PPL believes that WPD has taken and continues to take measures to comply with the applicable laws and governmental regulations for the protection of the environment.  There are no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against WPD with respect to environmental matters.  See "Environmental Matters - Domestic - Electric and Magnetic Fields" for a discussion of EMFs.

Latin America

In March 2007, PPL announced its intention to sell its regulated electricity delivery businesses in Latin America.  PPL believes its Latin American affiliates have taken and continue to take measures to comply with the applicable laws and governmental regulations for the protection of the environment.  There are no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against PPL's affiliates in Latin America with respect to environmental matters.

Other

Nuclear Insurance (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Susquehanna is a member of certain insurance programs that provide coverage for property damage to members' nuclear generating stations.  Facilities at the Susquehanna station are insured against property damage losses up to $2.75 billion under these programs.  PPL Susquehanna is also a member of an insurance program that provides insurance coverage for the cost of replacement power during prolonged outages of nuclear units caused by certain specified conditions.  Under the property and replacement power insurance programs, PPL Susquehanna could be assessed retroactive premiums in the event of the insurers' adverse loss experience.  At June 30, 2007, this maximum assessment was about $38 million.

In the event of a nuclear incident at the Susquehanna station, PPL Susquehanna's public liability for claims resulting from such an incident would be limited to about $10.8 billion under provisions of The Price-Anderson Act Amendments under the Energy Policy Act of 2005.  PPL Susquehanna is protected against this liability by a combination of commercial insurance and an industry assessment program.  In the event of a nuclear incident at any of the reactors covered by The Price-Anderson Act Amendments under the Energy Policy Act of 2005, PPL Susquehanna could be assessed up to $201 million per incident, payable at $30 million per year.

Represents the estimated maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required to be made under the guarantee.
(b)
 
Other than the exceptions noted in (d) below, all guarantees of PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric also apply to PPL on a consolidated basis.
(c)
 
These securities were redeemed during February 2007 and, as a result, the guarantee no longer exists.  See Note 7 for additional information on the redemption.
(d)
 
Represents letters of credit issued at the direction of PPL Energy Supply for the benefit of third parties for assurance against nonperformance by PPL and PPL Gas Utilities.  This is not a guarantee by PPL on a consolidated basis.
(e)
 
Amount is per incident.
(f)
 
Neither the expiration date nor the maximum amount of potential payments for certain obligations is explicitly stated in the related agreements.  Therefore, they have been estimated based on the types of obligations.
(g)
 
Actual payments are based primarily upon production levels of the synfuel projects.  See "IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits" within this note for further discussion.
(h)
 
PPL Energy Supply's maximum exposure with respect to certain indemnifications and the expiration of the indemnifications cannot be estimated because, in the case of certain of the indemnification provisions, the maximum potential liability is not capped by the transaction documents and the expiration date is based on the applicable statute of limitations.  The exposure noted is only for those cases in which the agreements provide for a specific limit on the amount of the indemnification.
 
In connection with the liquidation of wholly owned subsidiaries that have been deconsolidated upon turning the entities over to the liquidators, certain affiliates of PPL Global have agreed to indemnify the liquidators, directors and/or the entities themselves for any liabilities or expenses arising during the liquidation process, including liabilities and expenses of the entities placed into liquidation.  In some cases, the indemnifications are limited to a maximum amount that is based on distributions made from the subsidiary to its parent either prior or subsequent to being placed into liquidation.  In other cases, the maximum amount of the indemnifications is not explicitly stated in the agreements.  The indemnifications generally expire two to seven years subsequent to the date of dissolution of the entities.  The exposure noted only includes those cases in which the agreements provide for a specific limit on the amount of the indemnification, and the expiration date was based on an estimate of the dissolution date of the entities.
 
PPL Energy Supply has provided indemnification to the purchaser of the Sundance facility for losses arising out of any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants under the related transaction documents and for losses arising with respect to liabilities not specifically assumed by the purchaser, including certain pre-closing environmental and tort liabilities.  The indemnification other than for pre-closing environmental and tort liabilities are triggered only if the purchaser's losses reach $1 million in the aggregate, are capped at 50% of the purchase price (or $95 million), and either expired in May 2007 or will expire pursuant to applicable statutes of limitation.  The indemnification provision for unknown environmental and tort liabilities related to periods prior to PPL Energy Supply's ownership of the real property on which the facility is located are capped at $4 million in the aggregate and survive for a maximum period of five years after the transaction closing.
 
Certain of the indemnifications provided to the purchaser of the interest of PPL Southwest Generation Holdings, LLC in the Griffith plant are triggered only if the purchaser's losses reach $750,000 in the aggregate, are capped at 35% of the purchase price (or $41 million), and survive for a period of only 18 months after the June 30, 2006, transaction closing.  For the majority of the indemnification obligations, the purchaser's existing 50% ownership of the Griffith plant prior to closing is taken into account for purposes of determining and calculating the purchaser's losses.
(i)
 
In July 2006, two subsidiaries of PPL Energy Supply assigned their Enron claims to an independent third party (claims purchaser).  In connection with the assignment, the subsidiaries agreed to repay a pro rata share of the purchase price paid by the claims purchaser, plus interest, in the event that any of the assigned claims are disallowed under certain circumstances.  The bankruptcy court overseeing the Enron bankruptcy approved the assigned claims prior to their assignment to the claims purchaser.  The subsidiaries' repayment obligations will remain in effect until the claims purchaser has received all distributions with respect to the assigned claims.
(j)
 
Two WPD unconsolidated affiliates were refinanced during 2005.  Under the terms of the refinancing, WPD has indemnified the lender against certain tax and other liabilities.  At this time, WPD believes that the likelihood of such liabilities arising is remote.
(k)
 
Reflects principal payments only.

PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric and their subsidiaries provide other miscellaneous guarantees through contracts entered into in the normal course of business.  These guarantees are primarily in the form of various indemnifications or warranties related to services or equipment and vary in duration.  The obligated amounts of these guarantees often are not explicitly stated, and the overall maximum amount of the obligation under such guarantees cannot be reasonably estimated.  Historically, PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric and their subsidiaries have not made any significant payments with respect to these types of guarantees.  As of June 30, 2007, the aggregate fair value of these indemnifications related to arrangements entered into subsequent to December 31, 2002, was insignificant.

Related Party Transactions

Affiliate Trust (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

At December 31, 2006, PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's Balance Sheets reflected $89 million of "Long-term debt with affiliate trust."  This debt represented obligations of WPD LLP under 8.23% Subordinated Debentures maturing in February 2027 that were held by SIUK Capital Trust I, a variable interest entity whose common securities were owned by WPD LLP but which was not consolidated by WPD LLP.  In February 2007, WPD LLP redeemed all of the 8.23% Subordinated Debentures that were held by SIUK Capital Trust I.  See Note 7 for further discussion of the redemption.  Interest expense on this obligation was $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2006, and $2 million and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  The redemption resulted in a loss of $2 million being recorded during the first quarter of 2007.  This interest and loss are reflected in "Interest Expense" for PPL and "Interest Expense with Affiliates" for PPL Energy Supply on the Statement of Income.  See Note 22 in each Registrant's 2006 Form 10-K for additional information on the trust.

PLR Contracts (PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL Electric has entered into power sales agreements with PPL EnergyPlus, effective July 2000 and January 2002, in which PPL EnergyPlus will supply all of PPL Electric's PLR load through December 31, 2009.  Under these contracts, PPL EnergyPlus provides electricity at the predetermined capped prices that PPL Electric is authorized to charge its PLR customers.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, these purchases totaled $422 million and $395 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, these purchases totaled $903 million and $841 million.  These purchases include nuclear decommissioning recovery and amortization of an up-front contract payment and are included in the Statements of Income as "Energy purchases from affiliate" by PPL Electric, and as "Wholesale energy marketing to affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply.

Under one of the PLR contracts, PPL Electric is required to make performance assurance deposits with PPL EnergyPlus when the market price of electricity is less than the contract price by more than its contract collateral threshold.  Conversely, PPL EnergyPlus is required to make performance assurance deposits with PPL Electric when the market price of electricity is greater than the contract price by more than its contract collateral threshold.  PPL Electric estimated that, at June 30, 2007, the market price of electricity would exceed the contract price by $2.9 billion.  Accordingly, at June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply was required to provide PPL Electric with performance assurance of $300 million, the maximum amount required under the contract.  PPL Energy Supply's deposit with PPL Electric was $300 million at both June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.  This deposit is shown on the Balance Sheets as "Collateral on PLR energy supply to/from affiliate," a current asset of PPL Energy Supply and a current liability of PPL Electric.  PPL Electric pays interest equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 0.5% on this deposit, which is included in "Interest Expense with Affiliate" on the Statements of Income.  PPL Energy Supply records the receipt of the interest as affiliated interest income, which is included in "Other Income - net" on the Statements of Income.

In 2001, PPL Electric made a $90 million up-front payment to PPL EnergyPlus in connection with the PLR contracts.  The up-front payment is being amortized by both parties over the term of the PLR contracts.  The unamortized balance of this payment, and other payments under the contract, was $29 million at June 30, 2007 and $35 million at December 31, 2006.  These current and noncurrent balances are reported on the Balance Sheets as "Prepayment on PLR energy supply from affiliate" by PPL Electric and as "Deferred revenue on PLR energy supply to affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply.

Under Pennsylvania law and PUC regulations, PPL Electric is required to buy electricity generation supply for customers who do not choose a competitive supplier.  As previously announced, PPL Electric conducted the first of six competitive solicitations for generation supply in 2010, after its existing PLR contract expires.  Competitive bids were solicited for 850 MW of generation supply, or one-sixth of PPL Electric's expected supply requirements for these customers in 2010.  An independent company, NERA Economic Consulting, managed this competitive solicitation process.  NERA compiled the results, which were then presented to the PUC on July 24, 2007.  The PUC approved the results on July 26, 2007.  Additional bids will be sought later this fall and twice each in 2008 and 2009 to secure the remainder of supply needed to serve PPL Electric's customers in 2010.

PPL EnergyPlus was one of the successful bidders in this competitive solicitation process and has entered into an agreement with PPL Electric to supply up to 671 MW of total peak load in 2010, at an average price of $91.42 per MWh.

Under the standard Supply Master Agreement for the bid solicitation process, PPL Electric requires all suppliers to post collateral once credit exposures exceed defined credit limits.  In no instance is PPL Electric required to post collateral to suppliers under these supply contracts.  PPL EnergyPlus is required to post collateral with PPL Electric when the market price of electricity to be delivered by PPL EnergyPlus exceeds the contract price for the forecasted quantity of electricity to be delivered and this market price exposure exceeds a contractual credit limit.  Based on the current credit rating of PPL Energy Supply, as guarantor, this credit limit is $35 million.

NUG Purchases (PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL Electric has a reciprocal contract with PPL EnergyPlus to sell electricity purchased under contracts with NUGs.  PPL Electric purchases electricity from the NUGs at contractual rates and then sells the electricity at the same price to PPL EnergyPlus.  For the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, these NUG purchases totaled $37 million and $39 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, these NUG purchases totaled $74 million and $78 million.  These amounts are included in the Statements of Income as "Wholesale electric to affiliate" by PPL Electric, and as "Energy purchases from affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply.

Allocations of Corporate Service Costs (PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL Services provides corporate functions such as financial, legal, human resources and information services.  PPL Services bills the respective PPL subsidiaries for the cost of such services when they can be specifically identified.  The cost of these services that is not directly charged to PPL subsidiaries is allocated to certain subsidiaries based on an average of the subsidiaries' relative invested capital, operation and maintenance expenses, and number of employees.  PPL Services allocated the following amounts, which PPL management believes are reasonable, to PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric, including amounts applied to accounts that are further allocated between capital and expense.

Intercompany Borrowings

(PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Energy Supply had no notes receivable from affiliates at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.  Interest earned on cash collateral and loans to affiliates, included in "Other Income - net" on the Statements of Income, was $7 million and $6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and $12 million and $11 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

(PPL Electric)

In August 2004, a PPL Electric subsidiary issued a $300 million demand note to an affiliate.  There was a balance of $300 million outstanding at June 30, 2007 and December 31, 2006.  Interest is due quarterly at a rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 1% in 2007 and 1.25% in 2006.  This note is shown on the Balance Sheets as "Note receivable from affiliate."  Interest earned on the note is included in "Other Income - net" on the Statements of Income, and was $4 million and $5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  For the six months June 30, 2007 and 2006, interest earned was $9 million and $10 million.

Intercompany Derivatives (PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Energy Supply entered into a combination of average rate forwards and average rate options with PPL to sell British pounds sterling.  These hedging instruments have terms identical to average rate forwards and average rate options entered into by PPL with third parties to protect expected income denominated in British pounds sterling.  At June 30, 2007, the total notional amount of these hedging instruments was £60.1 million (approximately $117 million) and the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay to PPL and PPL would pay to third parties upon their termination, was $3 million and is reflected in "Price risk management liabilities" on the Balance Sheet.  No similar hedging instruments were outstanding at December 31, 2006.  Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, on these hedging instruments are included in "Other income - net" on the Statements of Income.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply recorded net losses of $2 million and $3 million.  "Other income - net" includes a net loss of $3 million related to similar average rate forwards and average rate options for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

PPL Energy Supply entered into forward contracts with PPL to sell Chilean pesos.  These hedging instruments have terms identical to forward sales contracts entered into by PPL with third parties.  At June 30, 2007, the total notional amount of these contracts was 215 billion Chilean pesos (approximately $400 million).  Of these forward sales contracts, 161 billion Chilean pesos (approximately $300 million) are to hedge the net investment in Emel, while the remaining 54 billion Chilean pesos (approximately $100 million) are to hedge a portion of the proceeds from the anticipated sale of Emel.  The aggregate market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay to PPL and PPL would pay to third parties upon their termination, was $8 million at June 30, 2007.  Of the $8 million, $6 million is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss and "Price risk management liabilities" on the Balance Sheet and $2 million is reflected in "Other income - net" on the Statement of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and "Price risk management liabilities" on the Balance Sheet.

PPL Energy Supply also entered into forward contracts with PPL to sell British pounds sterling.  These hedging instruments have terms identical to forward sales contracts entered into by PPL with third parties.  At June 30, 2007, the total notional amount of these contracts was £22.5 million (approximately $45 million).  These forward sales contracts are to partially hedge the net investment in WPD.  The market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay to PPL and PPL would pay third parties upon their termination was insignificant and is reflected in accumulated other comprehensive loss and "Price risk management liabilities" on the Balance Sheet.

Trademark Royalties (PPL Energy Supply)

A PPL subsidiary owns PPL trademarks and bills certain affiliates for their use.  PPL Energy Supply was allocated $9 million of this license fee for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, and $18 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  These allocations of the license fee are primarily included in "Other operation and maintenance" on the Statements of Income.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Fair Value Hedges

PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial contracts to hedge fluctuations in the market value of existing debt issuances.  These contracts range in maturity through 2046.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the exchange rates associated with firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies.  These forward contracts range in maturity through 2008.
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply did not recognize significant gains or losses resulting from hedges of firm commitments that no longer qualified as fair value hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply also did not recognize any gains or losses resulting from the ineffective portion of fair value hedges in these periods.

Cash Flow Hedges

PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial and physical contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps and options, to hedge the price risk associated with electric, gas, oil and other commodities.  These contracts range in maturity through 2017.  Additionally, PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial interest rate swap contracts to hedge floating interest rate risk associated with both existing and anticipated debt issuances.  These interest rate swap contracts range in maturity through 2018.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply also enter into foreign currency contracts to hedge the cash flows associated with foreign currency-denominated debt, the exchange rates associated with firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies and the net investment of foreign operations.  These contracts range in maturity through 2028.

Net investment hedge activity is reported in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of other comprehensive (loss) income.  PPL's cumulative net investment hedges have resulted in after tax losses of $10 million as of June 30, 2007, and $6 million as of December 31, 2006.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recognized net investment hedge losses of $5 million and $4 million in other comprehensive (loss) income.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recognized insignificant amounts in other comprehensive (loss) income related to net investment hedge activity.

Cash flow hedges are discontinued if it is no longer probable that the original forecasted transaction will occur by the end of the originally specified time period.  During the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, an insignificant amount was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss.  Other than transactions associated with the sale of the Griffith plant, PPL and PPL Energy Supply discontinued an insignificant amount of hedges because it was probable that the anticipated forecasted transaction would not occur for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006.

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, hedge ineffectiveness associated with energy derivatives was, after tax, a loss of $2 million and a loss of $5 million.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2006, hedge ineffectiveness associated with energy derivatives was, after tax, an insignificant amount and a gain of $2 million.

Ineffectiveness associated with interest rate and foreign currency derivatives was insignificant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006.

At June 30, 2007, the deferred net loss, after tax, on derivative instruments included in accumulated other comprehensive loss that is expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months is $54 million for PPL and $51 million for PPL Energy Supply.  Amounts are reclassified as the energy contracts go to delivery and as interest payments are made.

This table shows the accumulated net unrealized losses on qualifying derivatives (excluding net investment hedges), after tax, which are included in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

The three and six months ended June 30, 2006, include $7 million after tax for the acceleration of unrealized gains associated with the Griffith plant that have been recorded as a component of "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations," on the Statements of Income.

Normal Purchase/Normal Sale Exception

PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's "normal" portfolio includes derivative contracts for full requirements energy, emission allowances, gas and capacity; these contracts range in maturity through 2026.  Due to the "normal" election permitted by SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and interpreted, these contracts receive accrual accounting.  The net fair value of these contracts that would have been recorded on the Balance Sheets, had they not received accrual accounting treatment, was:

Economic Hedging Activity

PPL and PPL Energy Supply have entered into energy derivative transactions that economically hedge a specific risk, but do not qualify for hedge accounting under SFAS 133.  The unrealized gains and losses on these transactions are considered non-trading activities and are reflected on the Statements of Income in "Wholesale energy marketing" or "Energy-related businesses" revenues, or "Fuel" or "Energy purchases" expenses.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, the net gain reflected in earnings from these transactions, including the amortization of premiums on options, was $19 million and $81 million.
 
The net gain was significantly impacted by PJM's implementation of its Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) that developed a long-term pricing signal for capacity resources and load serving entities obligations, effective April 1, 2007.  Prior to the RPM, PPL recorded valuation reserves for capacity contracts due to the lack of liquidity and reliable, observable prices in the marketplace.  With the implementation of the RPM and the completion of PJM capacity auctions, forward capacity prices became sufficiently observable and PPL reversed reserves of $21 million during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Credit Concentration

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into contracts with many entities for the purchase and sale of energy.  Many of these contracts are considered a normal part of doing business and, as such, the mark-to-market value of these contracts is not reflected in the financial statements.  However, the fair value of these contracts is considered when committing to new business from a credit perspective.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply have credit exposures to energy trading partners.  The majority of these exposures is the fair value of multi-year contracts for energy sales and purchases.  Therefore, if these counterparties fail to perform their obligations under such contracts, PPL and PPL Energy Supply would not experience an immediate financial loss but would experience lower revenues or higher costs in future years to the extent that replacement sales or purchases could not be made at the same prices as those under the defaulted contracts.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply generally have the right to request collateral from their counterparties in the event that the counterparties' credit ratings fall below investment grade or their exposure exceeds an established credit limit.  It is also the policy of PPL and PPL Energy Supply to enter into netting agreements with all of their counterparties to limit credit exposure.

At June 30, 2007, both PPL and PPL Energy Supply had a credit exposure of $585 million to energy trading partners, excluding the effects of netting arrangements. No individual counterparty accounted for more than 26% of the exposure.  Ten counterparties accounted for $404 million, or 69%, of the total exposure.  Seven of these counterparties had an investment grade credit rating from S&P and accounted for 51% of the top ten exposures.  Of the three counterparties that were not rated investment grade, one had posted collateral in the form of a letter of credit to cover its exposure and the other two were current on their obligations as per the terms and conditions of the respective contracts.  As a result of netting arrangements and forward market prices, PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's credit exposure was reduced to zero.

(PPL Electric)

PPL Electric has credit exposure to PPL Energy Supply under the long-term contract for PPL EnergyPlus to supply PPL Electric's PLR load, as described in Note 11.  This is the only credit exposure for PPL Electric that has a mark-to-market element.  No other counterparty accounts for more than 1% of PPL Electric's total credit exposure.

New Accounting Standards

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

FIN 48

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."  In May 2007, the FASB amended this guidance by issuing FSP FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48."  PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FIN 48, as amended, effective January 1, 2007.  See Note 5 for the disclosures required by FIN 48.
 
SFAS 155

In February 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 155, "Accounting for Certain Hybrid Financial Instruments, an amendment of FASB Statements No. 133 and 140."  Among other things, SFAS 155 addresses certain accounting issues surrounding securitized financial assets and hybrid financial instruments with embedded derivatives that require bifurcation.  PPL and its subsidiaries adopted SFAS 155 effective January 1, 2007.  The adoption of SFAS 155 did not have an impact on PPL and its subsidiaries.

SFAS 157

In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS 157, "Fair Value Measurements."  SFAS 157 provides a definition of fair value as well as a framework for measuring fair value.  In addition, SFAS 157 expands the fair value measurement disclosure requirements of other accounting pronouncements to require, among other things, disclosure of the methods and assumptions used to measure fair value as well as the earnings impact of certain fair value measurement techniques.  SFAS 157 does not expand the use of fair value measurements in existing accounting pronouncements.  PPL and its subsidiaries will adopt SFAS 157 prospectively, effective January 1, 2008, except for certain items such as financial instruments that were previously measured at fair value in accordance with footnote 3 of EITF Issue No. 02-3, "Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities," which require a limited form of retrospective application.  PPL and its subsidiaries are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 157.  The potential impact of adoption is not yet determinable, but it could be material.

SFAS 159

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities, including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115."  SFAS 159 provides entities with an option to measure, upon adoption of this pronouncement and at specified election dates,
 certain financial assets and liabilities at fair value, including available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, as well as other eligible items.  The fair value option (i) may be applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis, with a few exceptions,
(ii) is irrevocable (unless a new election date occurs), and (iii) is applied to an entire instrument and not to only specified risks, cash flows, or portions of that instrument.  An entity shall report unrealized gains and losses on items for which the fair value option has been elected in earnings at each subsequent reporting date.

SFAS 159 also establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between similar assets and liabilities measured using different attributes.  Upon adoption of SFAS 159, an entity may elect the fair value option for eligible items that exist at that date, and must report the effect of the first remeasurement to fair value as a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings.

PPL and its subsidiaries will adopt SFAS 159 effective January 1, 2008.  PPL and its subsidiaries are in the process of evaluating the impact of adopting SFAS 159.  The potential impact of adoption is not yet determinable, but it could be material.


Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

PPL is an energy and utility holding company with headquarters in Allentown, PA.  In PPL's 2006 Form 10-K, descriptions of its domestic and international businesses are found in "Item 1. Business - Background."  Through its subsidiaries, PPL is primarily engaged in the generation and marketing of electricity in two key markets - the northeastern and western U.S. - and in the delivery of electricity in Pennsylvania, the U.K. and Latin America.  In March 2007, PPL announced its intention to sell its regulated electricity delivery businesses in Latin America.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information on the status of planned sales.  PPL's reportable segments are Supply, International Delivery and Pennsylvania Delivery.  See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview" in PPL's 2006 Form 10-K and Form 8-K dated June 21, 2007, for an overview of PPL's strategy and the risks and the challenges that it faces in its business.  See "Forward-Looking Information," Note 10 to the Financial Statements and the rest of this Item 2 in this Form 10-Q and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and the rest of Item 7 in PPL's 2006 Form 10-K for more information concerning the material risks and uncertainties that PPL faces in its businesses and with respect to its future earnings.

The following information should be read in conjunction with PPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes, PPL's 2006 Form 10-K and a related  Form 8-K dated June 21, 2007.

Terms and abbreviations are explained in the glossary.  Dollars are in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted.

Results of Operations

The following discussion begins with a summary of PPL's earnings.  "Results of Operations" continues with a review of results by reportable segment and a description of key factors by segment that management expects may impact future earnings.  This section ends with explanations of significant changes in principal items on PPL's Statements of Income, comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, with the same periods in 2006.

The period-to-period changes in significant earnings components, including domestic gross energy margins by region and significant income statement line items, are explained in the "Statement of Income Analysis."

The Statements of Income reflect the results of past operations and are not intended as any indication of future operating results.  Future operating results will necessarily be affected by various and diverse factors and developments.  Furthermore, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and by seasonal variations, the results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate results or trends for the year.

See "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" for an explanation of non-trading margins by geographic region and for an explanation of net energy trading margins.
   
·
The improved earnings contribution from synfuel projects for both periods was primarily the result of lower assumed phase-out of synthetic fuel tax credits.  These favorable tax credits were partially offset by greater unrealized gains in 2006 versus 2007 on options purchased to hedge a portion of the risk associated with the phase-out of synthetic fuel tax credits in 2007.
   
·
Other operation and maintenance expenses were higher for both periods primarily due to increased outage costs at the Eastern U.S. fossil/hydro stations and the Susquehanna nuclear station.
   
·
Financing costs were higher for both periods primarily due to higher interest expense on long-term debt.

The following after-tax amounts, which management considers special items, also had a significant impact on the Supply segment earnings.  See the indicated Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Outlook

PPL projects significantly higher earnings in its Supply business segment in 2007 compared with 2006, excluding the impact of special items.  Based on current forward energy prices and hedges already in place, PPL is projecting higher energy margins for the balance of 2007, driven primarily by the replacement of expiring supply obligations with higher-margin wholesale energy contracts in Montana and the Mid-Atlantic region.

While PPL expects improved baseload power plant performance for the remainder of 2007, this performance will be offset by the retirement in September of two coal-fired units in Pennsylvania and by planned outages, including the Susquehanna Unit 1 outage, which is expected to resolve the control rod friction issues that have affected plant operations over the past several years.  PPL believes these planned outages will improve the overall long-term reliability of its generation fleet.  PPL also expects a modest increase in fuel-related expenses and increased operation and maintenance expenses.

In July 2007, PPL EnergyPlus was one of the successful bidders in a competitive solicitation process for PPL Electric's generation supply in 2010 for retail customers who do not choose an alternative competitive supplier.  The PUC approved the results of PPL Electric's first of six competitive solicitations, which includes a contract executed between PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus to supply up to 671 MW of total peak load in 2010, at an average price of $91.42 per MWh.

International Delivery Segment

The International Delivery segment includes operations of the international energy businesses of PPL Global that are primarily focused on the distribution of electricity.  Substantially all of PPL Global's remaining international businesses are located in the U.K. and Chile.  In May and July 2007, PPL Global sold its El Salvadoran and Bolivian businesses.  The sale of the Chilean business is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.

The International Delivery segment results in 2007 and 2006 reflect the reclassification of Latin American revenues and expenses to "Income (Loss) From Discontinued Operations."  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for further discussion.

Outlook
 
PPL projects the earnings from its International Delivery business segment to be consistent in 2007 compared with 2006, excluding the impact in 2007 of the U.K. statutory income tax rate reduction noted below and other special items.  A U.S. income tax benefit is expected to be offset by increased operating expenses and higher income taxes in the U.K. in 2007, due to the favorable resolution of several tax-related items in 2006.  In addition, gains from the sale or liquidation of U.K. non-electricity delivery businesses are not expected to continue at the same level in 2007 as occurred in 2006.
 
In July 2007, the U.K.'s Finance Act 2007, which includes amendments to existing tax law, was enacted.  The most significant change to the tax law was a reduction in the U.K.'s statutory income tax rate.  Effective April 1, 2008, the statutory income tax rate will be reduced from 30% to 28%.  As a result, PPL anticipates recognizing a one-time deferred tax benefit during the third quarter of 2007 in the range of $50 to $60 million.

Higher delivery revenues were primarily due to 6% and 5% increases in sales volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, due in part to the impact of favorable weather in 2007 on residential and commercial sales and normal load growth.
   
·
Other operation and maintenance expenses were higher for the six month period primarily due to higher environmental remediation and advertising expenses.
   
·
Depreciation expenses were higher for both periods primarily due to the purchase in September 2006 of equipment previously leased.

Outlook

PPL expects the Pennsylvania Delivery segment to have modest earnings growth in 2007 compared with 2006, excluding special items, with load growth being offset by increased operation and maintenance expenses.

In March 2007, PPL Electric filed a request with the PUC to increase distribution rates by approximately $84 million (subsequently amended to $77 million).  The PUC's review of the distribution rate request is expected to take about nine months.  The proposed distribution rate increase, as amended, would result in a 2.4% increase over PPL Electric's present rates and would be effective January 1, 2008.  PPL Electric cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

In May 2007, the PUC approved PPL Electric's plan to procure default electricity supply in 2010 for retail customers who do not choose an alternative competitive supplier after PPL Electric's PLR contract with PPL EnergyPlus expires.  Under the plan, PPL Electric will issue a series of competitive bids for such supply in 2007, 2008 and 2009.  The price customers pay in 2010 will result from a blend of contracts from these competitive bids.  Based on the PUC-approved bid solicitation schedule, PPL Electric issued the first series of competitive bids for 850 MW of electricity supply in May 2007; received the competitive bid proposals by July 23, 2007; and obtained PUC approval of the winning proposals on July 26, 2007.  The average generation supply price, including Pennsylvania gross receipts tax, from this first of six competitive solicitations for residential customers is $96.30 per MWh and for small commercial and industrial customers is $99.46 per MWh.  If the prices paid in this supply purchase were to be the same for the remaining five purchases, the average residential customer's monthly bill in 2010 would increase by approximately 28% over 2009 levels, while small commercial and industrial bills would increase between 18% to 37%.  (The estimated increases exclude any potential rate increases from the current rate proceeding.)

In May 2007, the PUC also approved final regulations regarding the obligation of Pennsylvania electric utilities to provide default electricity supply in 2011 and beyond.  The new regulations provide that default service providers will acquire electricity supply at prevailing market prices pursuant to procurement and implementation plans approved by the PUC.  The regulations also address the utilities' recovery of market supply costs.  The final regulations will become effective after review by several other state agencies and official publication in Pennsylvania.

In late July 2007, PPL completed a review of strategic options for its natural gas distribution and propane businesses and announced its intention to sell these businesses.  PPL is currently analyzing the accounting impact of its decision to sell these businesses and has not yet determined whether any impairment charge would be required in the third quarter of 2007 related to this decision.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Adjusted to exclude the impact of any revenues and costs not associated with domestic gross energy margins, consistent with the way management reviews domestic gross energy margins internally.  These exclusions include revenues and energy costs related to the international operations of PPL Global, and the domestic delivery operations of PPL Electric and PPL Gas Utilities.  Also adjusted to include the margins of the Griffith plant prior to its sale in June 2006, which are included in "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations," and gains or losses on sales of emission allowances, which are included in "Other operation and maintenance" expenses on the Statements of Income.

Changes in Domestic Gross Energy Margins By Region

Domestic gross energy margins are generated through PPL's non-trading and trading activities.  PPL manages its non-trading energy business on a geographic basis that is aligned with its generation assets.  Additionally, beginning in 2006, PPL further segregates non-trading activities into two categories:  hedge activity and economic activity.  Economic activity represents the net unrealized effect of derivative transactions that are entered into as economic hedges, but do not qualify for hedge accounting, or hedge accounting was not elected, under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and interpreted.

Eastern U.S.

Eastern U.S. non-trading margins were higher in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same periods in 2006, primarily due to new supply contracts and higher average sales prices.  Also contributing to the increase in margins were lower average coal costs, which, for purposes of analyzing energy margins, include gains on the sale of emission allowances.  Average coal costs, were lower by 24% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006.

Partially offsetting these improvements was lower coal generation of 11% and 4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, due to additional planned outages in 2007.  Additionally, increased customer demand under the PLR contract between PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus resulted in higher supply costs.  PLR sales volumes were up 5% and 7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006.

Unrealized gains and losses included in Eastern U.S. non-trading margins that resulted from economic activity and hedge ineffectiveness were a $26 million gain in the second quarter of 2007, compared with a $10 million loss in the same period in 2006.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, these amounts were a $37 million gain, compared to a $4 million gain in the same period in 2006.  The increase in these amounts in 2007 over 2006 was significantly impacted by PJM's implementation of its Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) that developed a long-term pricing signal for capacity resources and load serving entities obligations, effective April 1, 2007.

Prior to the RPM, PPL recorded valuation reserves for capacity contracts due to the lack of liquidity and reliable, observable prices in the marketplace.  With the implementation of the RPM and the completion of PJM capacity auctions, forward capacity prices became sufficiently observable and PPL reversed reserves of $21 million during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Western U.S.

Western U.S. non-trading margins were lower in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher average coal costs, which were up 23%.

Net Energy Trading

PPL enters into energy contracts to take advantage of market opportunities.  As a result, PPL may at times create a net open position in its portfolio that could result in significant losses if prices do not move in the manner or direction anticipated.  The margins from these trading activities are reflected in the Statements of Income as "Net energy trading margins."  These physical and financial contracts cover trading activity associated with electricity, gas and oil.

The amount of net energy trading margins from unrealized mark-to-market transactions was a $7 million gain in the second quarter of 2007, compared to an $8 million gain in the same period in 2006.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, these amounts were a $5 million loss, compared to a $12 million gain in the same period in 2006.  The 2006 unrealized gains were primarily due to commodity contracts associated with the Griffith plant.

The realized physical volumes for electricity and gas associated with energy trading were:

The increases in utility revenues, excluding foreign currency exchange rate impacts, for both periods were primarily due to:

·
higher PLR revenues and electric delivery revenues primarily attributable to 6% and 5% increases in sales volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, due in part to the impact of favorable weather in 2007 on residential and commercial sales and normal load growth; and
·
higher U.K. revenues primarily due to an increase in unit prices effective April 1, 2007, and engineering services performed for third parties, partially offset by a 6% decrease in sales volumes as a result of milder weather in 2007.

Energy-related Businesses

Energy-related businesses contributed $31 million less to operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a $3 million impairment of held for sale transport assets (see Note 8) and $32 million of higher pre-tax losses from synfuel projects.  The decrease in synfuel projects reflects:

·
a $31 million lower unrealized gain on options purchased to hedge a portion of the risk associated with the phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credits; and
·
$11 million of higher operating losses due to higher production levels; offset by
·
a $10 million impairment charge on the synfuel-related assets in 2006.

Energy-related businesses contributed $58 million less to operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a $34 million impairment of held for sale transport assets (see Note 8) and $29 million of higher pre-tax losses from synfuel projects.  The decrease in synfuel projects reflects:

·
$33 million lower unrealized gains on options purchased to hedge a portion of the risk associated with the phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credits; and
·
$6 million of higher operating losses due to higher production levels; offset by
·
a $10 million impairment charge on the synfuel-related assets in 2006.

See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a detailed discussion of synthetic fuel tax credits.

Taxes, Other Than Income

Taxes, other than income increased by $11 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to:

·
a $7 million increase in domestic gross receipts tax expense;
·
a $3 million increase from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates;
·
a $3 million increase in WPD property taxes, as the 2006 period included a refund credit of $2 million; and
·
a $1 million increase in domestic sales and use tax expense; partially offset by

Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2007, PPL recorded an $89 million gain, which is net of tax expense of $5 million, in connection with the sale of its El Salvadoran business.  See "Discontinued Operations - Sale of Latin American Businesses" in Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information on this sale and PPL's anticipated sale of its remaining Latin American businesses, along with additional information related to the income (loss) from discontinued operations recorded in 2006 and 2007.

In the second quarter of 2006, PPL recorded a $24 million loss, which is net of a tax benefit of $16 million, in connection with the sale of its ownership interest in the Griffith plant.  The "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations" also includes the acceleration of net unrealized gains on derivatives associated with the Griffith plant of $7 million after tax.  See "Discontinued Operations - Sale of Interest in Griffith Plant" in Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information on this sale, along with information regarding 2006 operating results recorded prior to the sale.

Convertible Senior Notes

The terms of PPL Energy Supply's 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 include a market price trigger that permits holders to convert the notes during any fiscal quarter if the closing sale price of PPL's common stock exceeds $29.83 for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter.  Holders of the Convertible Senior Notes were entitled to convert their notes at any time during the first and second quarters of 2007 and are also entitled to convert their notes any time during the third quarter of 2007 as a result of the market price trigger being met.  When holders elect to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, PPL Energy Supply is required to settle the principal amount in cash and any conversion premium in cash or PPL common stock.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Convertible Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10 million were presented for conversion.  The total conversion premium related to these conversions was $8 million, which was settled with 181,574 shares of PPL common stock, along with an insignificant amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares.  At June 30, 2007, $93 million of Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply have, and expect to continue to have, access to sufficient liquidity sources to fund any such conversions.

Credit Facilities

In January 2007, WPD (South West) terminated its £150 million three-year committed credit facility, which was to expire in October 2008.  This facility was replaced by a new £150 million five-year committed credit facility at WPDH Limited that expires in January 2012, with the option to extend the expiration date by a maximum of two years.

In March 2007, PPL Energy Supply extended the expiration date of its 364-day reimbursement agreement to March 2008.  Under the agreement, PPL Energy Supply can cause the bank to issue up to $200 million of letters of credit but cannot make cash borrowings.

In May 2007, PPL Energy Supply entered into a $3.4 billion Second Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement, which amended its previously existing $1.9 billion credit facility and extended the term of the previously existing facility to June 2012.  Under certain conditions, PPL Energy Supply may elect to have the principal balance of the loans outstanding on the final maturity date of the facility continue as non-revolving term loans for a period of one year from that final maturity date.  Also, under certain conditions, PPL Energy Supply may request that the facility's principal amount be increased by up to $500 million.  PPL Energy Supply has the ability to cause the lenders under this facility to issue letters of credit.  The additional capacity under this facility is expected to support potential collateral requirements under contracts that PPL Energy Supply anticipates entering into in connection with expanding its wholesale marketing and trading business.

In May 2007, Emel arranged uncommitted credit lines in the amount of 32.4 billion Chilean pesos (approximately $62 million), with authorization to borrow up to $20 million as required for working capital needs.

In May 2007, PPL Electric entered into a $200 million Third Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement, which extended the term of its existing credit facility to May 2012.  Under certain conditions, PPL Electric may elect to have the principal balance of the loans outstanding on the final maturity date of the facility continue as non-revolving term loans for a period of one year from that final maturity date.  Also, under certain conditions, PPL Electric may request that the facility's principal amount be increased by up to $100 million.  PPL Electric has the ability to cause the lenders under this facility to issue letters of credit.

In July 2007, PPL Electric and a subsidiary extended the expiration date of the credit agreement related to its participation in an asset-backed commercial paper program to July 2008.

Financings

In December 2006, Elfec issued $11 million of 6.05% UFV (inflation-adjusted bolivianos) denominated bonds with serial maturities from 2012 through 2014.  Of these bonds, $5 million were issued in exchange for existing bonds with maturities in 2007 and 2008.  Cash proceeds of $6 million were used in January 2007 to refinance bonds with maturities in 2007.  These transactions were reflected in PPL's January 2007 financial statements due to the one-month lag in foreign subsidiary reporting.

In March 2007, PPL Capital Funding issued $500 million of 2007 Series A Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067 (Notes).  The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by PPL as to payment of principal, interest and premium, if any.  The Notes mature in March 2067, and are callable at par value beginning in March 2017.  Prior to such time, the Notes may be redeemed at PPL Capital Funding's option at make-whole redemption prices.  The Notes bear interest at 6.70% from the date of issuance through March 2017.  After March 2017, and continuing up to the maturity date, the Notes bear interest at three-month LIBOR plus 2.665%, reset quarterly.  PPL Capital Funding may defer interest payments on the Notes, from time to time, on one or more occasions for up to ten consecutive years.  Deferred interest payments will accumulate additional interest at a rate equal to the interest rate then applicable to the Notes.  During any period in which PPL Capital Funding defers interest payments on the Notes, subject to certain exceptions, neither PPL Capital Funding nor PPL may (i) declare or pay any cash dividend or distribution on its capital stock, (ii) redeem, purchase, acquire or make a liquidation payment with respect to any of its capital stock, or (iii) make any payments on any debt or any guarantee of debt by PPL that is equal or junior in right of payment to the Notes or the related guarantee by PPL.

PPL Capital Funding received $493 million of proceeds, net of a discount and underwriting fees, from the issuance of the Notes.  Of the proceeds, $281 million were used to pay at maturity PPL Capital Funding's 8.375% Medium-Term Notes due June 2007.  The remainder of the net proceeds was used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures relating to the installation of pollution control equipment by PPL Energy Supply subsidiaries.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, PPL and PPL Capital Funding entered into a Replacement Capital Covenant, in which PPL and PPL Capital Funding agreed for the benefit of holders of a designated series of unsecured long-term indebtedness of PPL or PPL Capital Funding ranking senior to the Notes that (i) PPL Capital Funding will not redeem or purchase the Notes, or otherwise satisfy, discharge or defease the principal amount of the Notes and (ii) neither PPL nor any of its other subsidiaries will purchase the Notes on or before March 30, 2037, except, subject to certain limitations, to the extent that the applicable redemption or repurchase price or principal amount defeased does not exceed a specified amount of proceeds from the sale of qualifying replacement capital securities during the 180-day period prior to the date of that redemption, repurchase or defeasance.  The designated series of covered debt currently benefiting from the Replacement Capital Covenant is PPL Capital Funding's 4.33% Notes Exchange Series A Due March 1, 2009.

In July 2007, PPL Capital Funding issued $100 million of 6.85% Senior Notes due 2047 (6.85% Notes).  The 6.85% Notes are not subject to redemption prior to July 1, 2012.  On or after July 1, 2012, PPL Capital Funding may, at its option, redeem the 6.85% Notes, in whole or in part, at par.  PPL Capital Funding received $97 million of proceeds, net of underwriting fees, from the issuance of the 6.85% Notes.  The proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures relating to the installation of pollution control equipment by PPL Energy Supply subsidiaries.
 
Early Redemption of Debt

In February 2007, WPD LLP redeemed all of the 8.23% Subordinated Debentures due 2027 that were held by SIUK Capital Trust I.  Upon redemption, WPD LLP paid a premium of 4.115%, or approximately $3 million, on the principal amount of $85 million of subordinated debentures.  WPD LLP received $3 million when its investment in SIUK Capital Trust I was liquidated in connection with this redemption.  Additionally, payment of $29 million was made to settle related cross-currency swaps.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

In June 2007, PPL's Board of Directors authorized the repurchase by PPL of up to $750 million of its common stock from time to time, in open market purchases, pre-arranged trading plans or privately negotiated transactions.  The specific amount and timing of repurchases will be based on a variety of factors, including potential share repurchase price, strategic investment considerations and other market and economic factors.  During the second quarter of 2007, PPL repurchased 1,675,000 shares of its common stock for $77 million.  Through July 31, 2007, a total of 3,559,100 shares were repurchased for $166 million.

Proceeds from Divestitures

Proceeds from the sales and planned divestitures discussed in Note 8 to the Financial Statements are expected to be used to invest in growth opportunities in PPL's core electricity supply and delivery businesses and/or for the repurchase of securities, including PPL common stock.

Rating Agency Decisions

Moody's, S&P and Fitch periodically review the credit ratings on the debt and preferred securities of PPL and its subsidiaries.  Based on their respective independent reviews, the rating agencies may make certain ratings revisions or ratings affirmations.

A credit rating reflects an assessment by the rating agency of the creditworthiness associated with an issuer and particular securities that it issues.  The credit ratings of PPL and its subsidiaries are based on information provided by PPL and other sources.  The ratings of Moody's, S&P and Fitch are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any securities of PPL or its subsidiaries.  Such ratings may be subject to revisions or withdrawal by the agencies at any time and should be evaluated independently of each other and any other rating that may be assigned to the securities.  A downgrade in PPL's or its subsidiaries' credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets.

The rating agencies took the following actions related to PPL and its key rated subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2007:

·
In connection with PPL Capital Funding's issuance in March 2007 of the 2007 Series A Junior Subordinated Notes due 2067, Moody's, S&P and Fitch assigned ratings of Baa3, BB+ and BBB- to the junior subordinated debt of PPL Capital Funding.
·
Also in March 2007, Fitch affirmed its BBB rating of PPL Montana's 8.903% Pass Through Certificates due 2020.

PPL's capital expenditure projections for the years 2007-2011 total $7.1 billion.  Capital expenditure plans are revised periodically to reflect changes in operational, market and regulatory conditions.  The above schedule has been revised from that which was presented in PPL's 2006 Form 10-K, primarily to reflect:

·
the PJM-approved regional transmission expansion project;
·
a reduction due to the sales of the Latin American businesses;
·
estimated costs to submit a combined construction and operating license with the NRC for a possible third nuclear generating unit adjacent to the Susquehanna station; and
·
increased nuclear fuel prices for the Susquehanna station.

See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

PPL plans to fund all of its capital expenditures in 2007 with cash on hand, cash from operations and the issuance of debt securities.

For additional information on PPL's liquidity and capital resources, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL's 2006 Form 10-K.

Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)

PPL's non-trading commodity derivative contracts mature at various times through 2017.  PPL segregates its non-trading activities as either hedge or economic.  Transactions that are accounted for as hedge activity qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133.  The non-trading economic category includes transactions that address a specific risk, but are not eligible for hedge accounting or hedge accounting is not elected.  Included in the non-trading economic category are certain load-following energy obligations and related supply contracts, capacity swaps, FTRs, crude oil swaps to hedge rail transportation charges and hedges of synthetic fuel tax credits.  Although they do not receive hedge accounting treatment, these contracts are considered non-trading.  The fair value of the non-trading economic contracts that do not qualify for accrual or hedge accounting treatment as of June 30, 2007, including net premiums on options, was $62 million.  The following chart sets forth PPL's net fair market value of all non-trading commodity derivative contracts.

The "Prices actively quoted" category includes the fair value of exchange-traded natural gas futures contracts quoted on the NYMEX, which has quoted prices through 2012.

The "Prices provided by other external sources" category includes PPL's forward positions and options in natural gas and electricity and natural gas basis swaps at points for which over-the-counter (OTC) broker quotes are available.

The "Prices based on models and other valuation methods" category includes the value of transactions for which an internally developed price curve was constructed as a result of the long-dated nature of the transaction or the illiquidity of the market point, or the value of options not quoted by an exchange or OTC broker.  This category includes the fair value of transactions completed in auction markets, where contract prices represent the market value for load-following bundled energy prices delivered at illiquid delivery points.  The transaction prices associated with the contracts did not equal the wholesale bilateral market prices at inception (Day 1).  However, EITF 02-3, "Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities," does not generally permit Day 1 gains and losses to be recognized unless the fair value is derived principally from observable market inputs.  Therefore, PPL recorded a reserve for the modeled Day 1 gain, which is netted against the above fair values.

Because of PPL's efforts to hedge the value of the energy from its generation assets, PPL sells electricity, capacity and related services and buys fuel on a forward basis, resulting in open contractual positions.  If PPL is unable to deliver firm capacity and energy or to accept the delivery of fuel under its agreements, under certain circumstances it could be required to pay damages.  These damages would be based on the difference between the market price and the contract price of the commodity.  Depending on price volatility in the wholesale energy markets, such damages could be significant.  Extreme weather conditions, unplanned power plant outages, transmission disruptions, non-performance by counterparties (or their own counterparties) with which it has energy contracts and other factors could affect PPL's ability to meet its obligations, or cause significant increases in the market price of replacement energy.  Although PPL attempts to mitigate these risks, there can be no assurance that it will be able to fully meet its firm obligations, that it will not be required to pay damages for failure to perform, or that it will not experience counterparty non-performance in the future.

As of June 30, 2007, PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its non-trading portfolio by approximately $480 million.  For purposes of this calculation, an increase in the market price for electricity is considered an adverse movement because PPL's electricity portfolio is generally in a net sales position, and the decrease in the market price for fuel is considered an adverse movement because PPL's commodity fuels portfolio is generally in a net purchase position.  PPL enters into those commodity contracts to reduce the market risk inherent in the generation of electricity.

Starting in 2007, PPL elected to use an alternative method for disclosing quantitative information about certain market risk sensitive instruments.  This method utilizes a VaR model to measure commodity price risk in its non-trading and trading portfolios.  This approach is consistent with how PPL's Risk Manager assesses the market risk of its commodity business.  VaR is a statistical model that attempts to predict risk of loss, under normal market conditions, based on historical market price volatility.  PPL calculates VaR using a Monte Carlo simulation technique, which uses historical data from the past 12 month period.  The VaR is the estimated nominal loss of earnings based on a one-day holding period at a 95% confidence interval.  As of June 30, 2007, the VaR for PPL's non-trading portfolio was $14 million.  This excludes the activity for PPL's synthetic fuel tax credit hedges.  Additional information regarding these hedges can be found in the "Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" section below.

See "Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)" above for information on the various sources of fair value.

As of June 30, 2007, PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its trading portfolio by $32 million, compared to $24 million as of June 30, 2006.

As of June 30, 2007, the VaR for PPL's trading portfolio was $2 million.  This excludes the activity for PPL's synthetic fuel tax credit hedges.  Additional information regarding these hedges can be found in the "Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" section below.

Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk

At this time, PPL expects that the high level and the volatility of crude oil prices will reduce the amount of synthetic fuel tax credits that PPL receives through its synthetic fuel production.  The tax credits are reduced if the annual average wellhead price of domestic crude oil falls within a phase-out range.  The tax credits are eliminated if this reference price exceeds the phase-out range.  See "Regulatory Issues - IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits" in Note 10 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding the phase-out of the tax credits.

PPL implemented a risk management strategy to hedge a portion of the variability of cash flows associated with its 2006 and 2007 synthetic fuel tax credits by hedging the risk that the 2006 and 2007 annual average wellhead price for domestic crude oil will be within the phase-out range.

PPL has net purchased options for 2007 that are expected to mitigate PPL's tax credit phase-out risk due to an increase of the average wellhead price in 2007.  These positions did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  The mark-to-market value of these positions at June 30, 2007, was a gain of $21 million.

As of June 30, 2007, PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices of crude oil would have decreased the value of the synthetic fuel hedges by $27 million.  For purposes of this calculation, a decrease in the market price for crude oil is considered an adverse movement.

Commodity Price Risk Summary

In accordance with its marketing and hedge strategy, PPL may not elect to fully hedge its generation output or fuel requirements.  PPL estimates that for its entire portfolio, including all generation, emissions and physical and financial energy positions, a 10% adverse change in power prices across all geographic zones and time periods would decrease expected 2007 gross margins by $11 million.  Similarly, a 10% adverse movement in all fossil fuel prices would decrease 2007 gross margins by $8 million.

Interest Rate Risk

PPL and its subsidiaries have issued debt to finance their operations, which exposes them to interest rate risk.  PPL utilizes various financial derivative products to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio, adjust the duration of its debt portfolio and lock in treasury rates (and interest rate spreads over treasuries) in anticipation of future financing, when appropriate.  Risk limits under the risk management program are designed to balance risk exposure to volatility in interest expense and changes in the fair value of PPL's debt portfolio due to changes in the absolute level of interest rates.

At June 30, 2007, PPL's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was $9 million.

PPL is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its domestic and international debt portfolios.  At June 30, 2007, PPL estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of its debt portfolio, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was $343 million.

PPL utilizes various risk management instruments to reduce its exposure to the expected future cash flow variability of its debt instruments.  These risks include exposure to adverse interest rate movements for outstanding variable rate debt and for future anticipated financing.  While PPL is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in equity and then reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the item being hedged affects earnings.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these instruments, representing the amount PPL would receive upon their termination, was $7 million.  At June 30, 2007, PPL estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in the hedged exposure, was $17 million.

PPL also utilizes various risk management instruments to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio.  While PPL is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any change in market value is recorded with an equal and offsetting change in the value of the debt being hedged.  At June 30, 2007, PPL estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the fair value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was $19 million.

WPDH Limited holds a net position in cross-currency swaps totaling $702 million to hedge the interest payments and principal of its U.S. dollar-denominated bonds with maturity dates ranging from December 2007 to December 2028.  The estimated value of this position at June 30, 2007, being the amount PPL would pay to terminate it, including accrued interest, was $176 million.  At June 30, 2007, PPL estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, was $127 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

PPL is exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily through investments in affiliates in the U.K. and Latin America.  In addition, PPL may make purchases of equipment in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

PPL has adopted a foreign currency risk management program designed to hedge certain foreign currency exposures, including firm commitments, recognized assets or liabilities, anticipated transactions and net investments.  In addition, PPL enters into financial instruments to protect against foreign currency translation risk of expected earnings.

To economically hedge 2007 expected income in Chilean pesos, PPL entered into average rate forwards totaling 12.4 billion Chilean pesos.  The settlement date of these forwards is November 2007.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL would pay upon their termination, was insignificant.  PPL estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $1 million at June 30, 2007.

To economically hedge 2007 expected income denominated in British pounds sterling, PPL entered into a combination of average rate forwards and average rate options, which total £60.1 million at June 30, 2007.  These forwards and options have termination dates ranging from September 2007 to December 2007.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL would pay upon their termination, was $3 million.  PPL estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $7 million at June 30, 2007.

PPL executed forward sale contracts totaling 215 billion Chilean pesos.  Of these forward sale contracts, 161 billion Chilean pesos are to hedge PPL's net investment in Emel, while the remaining 54 billion Chilean pesos are to hedge a portion of the proceeds from the anticipated sale of Emel.  The settlement date of these forwards is December 2007.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL would pay upon their termination, was $8 million.  PPL estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $44 million at June 30, 2007.

PPL executed forward sale contracts totaling £22.5 million.  These forward sale contracts are to partially hedge its net investment in WPD.  The settlement date of these forwards is January 2008.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL would pay upon their termination was insignificant.  PPL estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $4 million at June 30, 2007.

PPL has entered into a forward contract to purchase 5.1 million Euros in order to protect against fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate, in connection with the purchase of equipment.  The settlement date of this contract is January 2008.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of this position, representing the amount PPL would receive upon its termination, was insignificant.  PPL estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the market value of this instrument, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was insignificant at June 30, 2007.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds - Securities Price Risk

In connection with certain NRC requirements, PPL Susquehanna maintains trust funds to fund certain costs of decommissioning the Susquehanna nuclear station.  As of June 30, 2007, these funds were invested primarily in domestic equity securities and fixed-rate, fixed-income securities and are reflected at fair value on PPL's Balance Sheet.  The mix of securities is designed to provide returns sufficient to be used to fund Susquehanna's decommissioning and to compensate for inflationary increases in decommissioning costs.  However, the equity securities included in the trusts are exposed to price fluctuation in equity markets, and the values of fixed-rate, fixed-income securities are exposed to changes in interest rates.  PPL actively monitors the investment performance and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with its nuclear decommissioning trust policy statement.  At June 30, 2007, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and a 10% decrease in equity prices would have resulted in an estimated $41 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets.  See Note 21 in PPL's 2006 Form 10-K for more information regarding the nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Related Party Transactions

PPL is not aware of any material ownership interests or operating responsibility by senior management of PPL, PPL Energy Supply or PPL Electric in outside partnerships, including leasing transactions with variable interest entities, or other entities doing business with PPL.

For additional information on related party transactions, see Note 11 to the Financial Statements.

Acquisitions, Development and Divestitures

PPL continuously evaluates strategic options for its business segments and from time to time, PPL and its subsidiaries are involved in negotiations with third parties regarding acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets, joint ventures and development projects, which may or may not result in definitive agreements.  Any such transactions may impact future financial results.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information regarding such recent transactions.

PPL is currently planning incremental capacity increases of 343 MW at several existing domestic generating facilities.  Offsetting this increase is an expected 30 MW reduction in generation capability at each of the Brunner Island and Montour plants, due to the estimated increases in station service usage during the scrubber operation.  See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for additional information, as well as information regarding the planned shut down of two 150 MW generating units at PPL Martins Creek in September 2007.

PPL is continuously reexamining development projects based on market conditions and other factors to determine whether to proceed with these projects, sell them, cancel them, expand them, execute tolling agreements or pursue other opportunities.

Environmental Matters

See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental matters.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 17 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting standards recently adopted or pending adoption.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

PPL's financial condition and results of operations are impacted by the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the application of critical accounting policies.  The following accounting policies are particularly important to the financial condition or results of operations of PPL, and require estimates or other judgments of matters inherently uncertain: price risk management, pension and other postretirement benefits, asset impairment, leasing, loss accruals and asset retirement obligations.

See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL's 2006 Form 10-K for a discussion of each critical accounting policy.  PPL's senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies, and the estimates and assumptions regarding them, with its Audit Committee.  In addition, PPL's senior management reviewed the Form 10-K disclosures regarding the application of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."  In May 2007, the FASB amended this guidance by issuing FSP FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48."  PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FIN 48, as amended, effective January 1, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 alters the methodology PPL previously used to account for income tax uncertainties.  Effective with the adoption of FIN 48, uncertain tax positions are no longer considered to be contingencies assessed in accordance with SFAS 5, "Accounting for Contingencies."  The following is an update to the "Income Tax Uncertainties" section of the "Loss Accruals" critical accounting policy disclosed in PPL's 2006 Form 10-K, which reflects the adoption of FIN 48.


Similar to SFAS 5, FIN 48 continues to require significant management judgment in determining the amount of benefit to be recognized in relation to an uncertain tax position.  FIN 48 requires PPL to evaluate its tax positions following a two-step process.  The first step requires an entity to determine whether, based on the technical merits supporting a particular tax position, it is more likely than not (greater than a 50 percent chance) that the tax position will be sustained.  This determination assumes that the relevant taxing authority will examine the tax position and is aware of all the relevant facts surrounding the tax position.  The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion.  The measurement of the benefit equals the largest amount of benefit that has a likelihood of realization, upon settlement, that exceeds 50 percent.  PPL's management considers a number of factors in assessing the benefit to be recognized, including negotiation of a settlement.

On a quarterly basis, PPL reassesses its uncertain tax positions by considering information known at the reporting date.  Based on management's assessment of new information, PPL may subsequently recognize a tax benefit for a previously unrecognized tax position, derecognize a previously recognized tax position, or remeasure the benefit of a previously recognized tax position.

The balance sheet classification of unrecognized tax benefits also requires significant management judgment.  FIN 48 requires an entity to classify unrecognized tax benefits as current, to the extent management expects to settle an uncertain tax position, by paying cash, within one year of the reporting date.

Significant management judgment is also required in developing valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.  Valuation allowances are initially recorded and reevaluated each reporting period by assessing the likelihood of the ultimate realization of a deferred tax asset.  Management considers a number of factors in assessing the realization of a deferred tax asset, including forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies.  Any tax planning strategy utilized in this assessment must meet the recognition and measurement criteria of FIN 48.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for the disclosures required by FIN 48.

The improved earnings contribution from synfuel projects for both periods was primarily the result of lower assumed phase-out of synthetic fuel tax credits.  These favorable tax credits were partially offset by greater unrealized gains in 2006 versus 2007 on options purchased to hedge a portion of the risk associated with the phase-out of synthetic fuel tax credits in 2007.
   
·
Other operation and maintenance expenses were higher for both periods primarily due to increased outage costs at the Eastern U.S. fossil/hydro stations and the Susquehanna nuclear station.
   
·
Financing costs were higher for both periods primarily due to higher interest expense on long-term debt.

The following after-tax amounts, which management considers special items, also had a significant impact on the Supply segment earnings.  See the indicated Notes to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Outlook

PPL Energy Supply projects significantly higher earnings in its Supply business segment in 2007 compared with 2006, excluding the impact of special items.  Based on current forward energy prices and hedges already in place, PPL Energy Supply is projecting higher energy margins for the balance of 2007, driven primarily by the replacement of expiring supply obligations with higher-margin wholesale energy contracts in Montana and the Mid-Atlantic region.

While PPL Energy Supply expects improved baseload power plant performance for the remainder of 2007, this performance will be offset by the retirement in September of two coal-fired units in Pennsylvania and by planned outages, including the Susquehanna Unit 1 outage, which is expected to resolve the control rod friction issues that have affected plant operations over the past several years.  PPL Energy Supply believes these planned outages will improve the overall long-term reliability of its generation fleet.  PPL Energy Supply also expects a modest increase in fuel-related expenses and increased operation and maintenance expenses.

In July 2007, PPL EnergyPlus was one of the successful bidders in a competitive solicitation process for PPL Electric's generation supply in 2010 for retail customers who do not choose an alternative competitive supplier.  The PUC approved the results of PPL Electric's first of six competitive solicitations, which includes a contract executed between PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus to supply up to 671 MW of total peak load in 2010, at an average price of $91.42 per MWh.

International Delivery Segment

The International Delivery segment includes operations of the international energy businesses of PPL Global that are primarily focused on the distribution of electricity.  Substantially all of PPL Global's remaining international businesses are located in the U.K. and Chile.  In May and July 2007, PPL Global sold its El Salvadoran and Bolivian businesses.  The sale of the Chilean business is expected to be completed by the end of 2007.

The International Delivery segment results in 2007 and 2006 reflect the reclassification of Latin American revenues and expenses to "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations."  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for further discussion.

The U.K.'s earnings were negatively impacted for the six months ended June 30, 2007, by lower delivery margins, primarily due to a 6% decrease in sales volumes as a result of milder weather in 2007.
   
·
Higher U.K. income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2007, were due to the transfer of WPD tax items in the first quarter of 2006.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Outlook
 
PPL Energy Supply projects the earnings from its International Delivery business segment to be consistent in 2007 compared with 2006, excluding the impact in 2007 of the U.K. tax rate reduction noted below and other special items.  A U.S. income tax benefit is expected to be offset by increased operating expenses and higher income taxes in the U.K. in 2007, due to the favorable resolution of several tax-related items in 2006.  In addition, gains from the sale or liquidation of U.K. non-electricity delivery businesses are not expected to continue at the same level in 2007 as occurred in 2006.

In July 2007, the U.K.'s Finance Act 2007, which includes amendments to existing tax law, was enacted.  The most significant change to the tax law was a reduction in the U.K.'s statutory income tax rate.  Effective April 1, 2008, the statutory income tax rate will be reduced from 30% to 28%.  As a result, PPL Energy Supply anticipates recognizing a one-time deferred tax benefit during the third quarter of 2007 in the range of $50 to $60 million.

Domestic gross energy margins are generated through PPL Energy Supply's non-trading and trading activities.  PPL Energy Supply manages its non-trading energy business on a geographic basis that is aligned with its generation assets.  Additionally, beginning in 2006, PPL Energy Supply further segregates non-trading activities into two categories:  hedge activity and economic activity.  Economic activity represents the net unrealized effect of derivative transactions that are entered into as economic hedges, but do not qualify for hedge accounting, or hedge accounting was not elected, under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities," as amended and interpreted.

Eastern U.S.

Eastern U.S. non-trading margins were higher in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same periods in 2006, primarily due to new supply contracts and higher average sales prices.  Also contributing to the increase in margins were lower average coal costs, which, for purposes of analyzing energy margins, include gains on the sales of emission allowances.  Average coal costs were lower by 24% and 9% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006.

Partially offsetting these improvements was lower coal generation of 11% and 4%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, due to additional planned outages in 2007.  Additionally, increased customer demand under the PLR contract between PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus resulted in higher supply costs.  PLR sales volumes were up 5% and 7%, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared to the same periods in 2006.

Unrealized gains and losses included in Eastern U.S. non-trading margins that resulted from economic activity and hedge ineffectiveness were a $26 million gain in the second quarter of 2007, compared with a $10 million loss in the same period in 2006.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, these amounts were a $37 million gain, compared to a $4 million gain in the same period in 2006.  The increase in these amounts in 2007 over 2006 was significantly impacted by PJM's implementation of its Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) that developed a long-term pricing signal for capacity resources and load serving entity obligations, effective April 1, 2007.

Prior to the RPM, PPL Energy Supply recorded valuation reserves for capacity contracts due to the lack of liquidity and reliable, observable prices in the marketplace.  With the implementation of the RPM and the completion of PJM capacity auctions, forward capacity prices became sufficiently observable and PPL Energy Supply reversed reserves of $21 million during both the three and six months ended June 30, 2007.

Western U.S.

Western U.S. non-trading margins were lower in the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006, primarily due to higher average coal costs, which were up 23%.

Net Energy Trading

PPL Energy Supply enters into energy contracts to take advantage of market opportunities.  As a result, PPL Energy Supply may at times create a net open position in its portfolio that could result in significant losses if prices do not move in the manner or direction anticipated.  The margins from these trading activities are reflected in the Statements of Income as "Net energy trading margins."  These physical and financial contracts cover trading activity associated with electricity, gas and oil.

The amount of net energy trading margins from unrealized mark-to-market transactions was a $7 million gain in the second quarter of 2007, compared to an $8 million gain in the same period in 2006.  For the six months ended June 30, 2007, these amounts were a $5 million loss, compared to a $12 million gain in the same period in 2006.  The 2006 unrealized gains were primarily due to commodity contracts associated with the Griffith plant.

The realized physical volumes for electricity and gas associated with energy trading were:

The increases in U.K. utility revenues, excluding foreign currency exchange rate impacts, for both periods were primarily due to an increase in unit prices effective April 1, 2007, and engineering services performed for third parties.  These increases were partially offset by a 6% decrease in sales volumes as a result of milder weather in 2007.

Energy-related Businesses

Energy-related businesses contributed $30 million less to operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a $3 million impairment of held for sale transport assets (see Note 8) and $32 million of higher pre-tax losses from synfuel projects.  The decrease in synfuel projects reflects:

·
a $31 million lower unrealized gain on options purchased to hedge a portion of the risk associated with the phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credits; and
·
$11 million of higher operating losses due to higher production levels; offset by
·
a $10 million impairment charge on the synfuel-related assets in 2006.

Energy-related businesses contributed $57 million less to operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006.  The decrease was primarily attributable to a $34 million impairment of held for sale transport assets (see Note 8) and $29 million of higher pre-tax losses from synfuel projects.  The decrease in synfuel projects reflects:

·
$33 million lower unrealized gains on options purchased to hedge a portion of the risk associated with the phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credits; and
·
$6 million of higher operating losses due to higher production levels; offset by

Taxes, Other Than Income

Taxes, other than income increased by $5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to:

·
a $3 million increase from changes in the foreign currency exchange rates; and
·
a $3 million increase in WPD property taxes, as the 2006 period included a refund credit of $2 million; partially offset by
·
a $2 million decrease in domestic capital stock tax expense.

Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2007, PPL recorded an $89 million gain, which is net of tax expense of $5 million, in connection with the sale of its El Salvadoran business.  See "Discontinued Operations - Sale of Latin American Businesses" in Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information on this sale and PPL's anticipated sale of its remaining Latin American businesses, along with additional information related to the income (loss) from discontinued operations recorded in 2006 and 2007.

In the second quarter of 2006, PPL recorded a $24 million loss, which is net of a tax benefit of $16 million, in connection with the sale of its ownership interest in the Griffith plant.  The "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations" also includes the acceleration of net unrealized gains on derivatives associated with the Griffith plant of $7 million after tax.  See "Discontinued Operations - Sale of Interest in Griffith Plant" in Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information on this sale, along with information regarding 2006 operating results recorded prior to the sale.

Excludes $14 million of cash related to the Latin American businesses that is included in "Assets held for sale" on the Balance Sheet.

The $14 million decrease in PPL Energy Supply's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments position was primarily the net result of:

·
$539 million of capital expenditures;
·
distributions to Member of $463 million;
·
the retirement of $130 million of long-term debt (which includes the payment of $29 million to settle related cross-currency swaps);
·
an increase of $74 million in restricted cash;
·
the classification of $14 million of cash related to the Latin American businesses as held for sale;
·
$500 million of contributions from Member;
·
$490 million of cash provided by operating activities;
·
$180 million of proceeds from the sale of the El Salvadoran electricity delivery business; and
·
net proceeds of $31 million from the sale of emission allowances.

Convertible Senior Notes

The terms of PPL Energy Supply's 2.625% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 include a market price trigger that permits holders to convert the notes during any fiscal quarter if the closing sale price of PPL's common stock exceeds $29.83 for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter.  Holders of the Convertible Senior Notes were entitled to convert their notes at any time during the first and second quarters of 2007 and are also entitled to convert their notes any time during the third quarter of 2007 as a result of the market price trigger being met.  When holders elect to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, PPL Energy Supply is required to settle the principal amount in cash and any conversion premium in cash or PPL common stock.  During the six months ended June 30, 2007, Convertible Senior Notes in an aggregate principal amount of $10 million were presented for conversion.  The total conversion premium related to these conversions was $8 million, which was settled with 181,574 shares of PPL common stock, along with an insignificant amount of cash in lieu of fractional shares.  At June 30, 2007, $93 million of Convertible Senior Notes remain outstanding.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply have, and expect to continue to have, sufficient liquidity sources to fund any such conversions.

Credit Facilities

In January 2007, WPD (South West) terminated its £150 million three-year committed credit facility, which was to expire in October 2008.  This facility was replaced by a new £150 million five-year committed credit facility at WPDH Limited that expires in January 2012, with the option to extend the expiration date by a maximum of two years.

In March 2007, PPL Energy Supply extended the expiration date of its 364-day reimbursement agreement to March 2008.  Under the agreement, PPL Energy Supply can cause the bank to issue up to $200 million of letters of credit but cannot make cash borrowings.

In May 2007, PPL Energy Supply entered into a $3.4 billion Second Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement, which amended its previously existing $1.9 billion credit facility and extended the term of the previously existing facility to June 2012.  Under certain conditions, PPL Energy Supply may elect to have the principal balance of the loans outstanding on the final maturity date of the facility continue as non-revolving term loans for a period of one year from that final maturity date.  Also, under certain conditions, PPL Energy Supply may request that the facility's principal amount be increased by up to $500 million.  PPL Energy Supply has the ability to cause the lenders under this facility to issue letters of credit.  The additional capacity under this facility is expected to support potential collateral requirements under contracts that PPL Energy Supply anticipates entering into in connection with expanding its wholesale marketing and trading business.

In May 2007, Emel arranged uncommitted credit lines in the amount of 32.4 billion Chilean pesos (approximately $62 million), with authorization to borrow up to $20 million as required for working capital needs.

Financings

In December 2006, Elfec issued $11 million of 6.05% UFV (inflation-adjusted bolivianos) denominated bonds with serial maturities from 2012 through 2014.  Of these bonds, $5 million were issued in exchange for existing bonds with maturities in 2007 and 2008.  Cash proceeds of $6 million were used in January 2007 to refinance bonds with maturities in 2007.  These transactions were reflected in PPL's January 2007 financial statements due to the one-month lag in foreign subsidiary reporting.

Early Redemption of Debt

In February 2007, WPD LLP redeemed all of the 8.23% Subordinated Debentures due 2027 that were held by SIUK Capital Trust I.  Upon redemption, WPD LLP paid a premium of 4.115%, or approximately $3 million, on the principal amount of $85 million of subordinated debentures.  WPD LLP received $3 million when its investment in SIUK Capital Trust I was liquidated in connection with this redemption.  Additionally, payment of $29 million was made to settle related cross-currency swaps.

Proceeds from Divestitures

Proceeds from the sales and planned divestitures discussed in Note 8 to the Financial Statements are expected to be used to invest in growth opportunities in PPL's core electricity supply and delivery businesses and/or for the repurchase of securities, including PPL common stock.

Rating Agency Decisions

Moody's, S&P and Fitch periodically review the credit ratings on the debt and preferred securities of PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries.  Based on their respective independent reviews, the rating agencies may make certain ratings revisions or ratings affirmations.

A credit rating reflects an assessment by the rating agency of the creditworthiness associated with an issuer and particular securities that it issues.  The credit ratings of PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries are based on information provided by PPL Energy Supply and other sources.  The ratings of Moody's, S&P and Fitch are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any securities of PPL Energy Supply or its subsidiaries.  Such ratings may be subject to revisions or withdrawal by the agencies at any time and should be evaluated independently of each other and any other rating that may be assigned to the securities.  A downgrade in PPL Energy Supply's or its subsidiaries' credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets.

Moody's and S&P did not take any actions related to PPL Energy Supply and its key rated subsidiaries during the six months ended June 30, 2007.  In March 2007, Fitch affirmed its BBB rating of PPL Montana's 8.903% Pass Through Certificates due 2020.

PPL Energy Supply's capital expenditure projections for the years 2007-2011 total $5.2 billion.  Capital expenditure plans are revised periodically to reflect changes in operational, market and regulatory conditions.  The above schedule has been revised from that which was presented in PPL Energy Supply's 2006 Form 10-K, primarily to reflect:

·
a reduction due to the sales of the Latin American businesses;
·
estimated costs to submit a combined construction and operating license with the NRC for a possible third nuclear generating unit adjacent to the Susquehanna station; and
·
increased nuclear fuel prices for the Susquehanna station.

See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

PPL Energy Supply plans to fund all of its capital expenditures in 2007 with cash on hand, cash from operations, contributions from Member and the issuance of debt securities.

For additional information on PPL Energy Supply's liquidity and capital resources, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL Energy Supply's 2006 Form 10-K.

Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other

Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)

PPL Energy Supply's non-trading commodity derivative contracts mature at various times through 2017.  PPL Energy Supply segregates its non-trading activities as either hedge or economic.  Transactions that are accounted for as hedge activity qualify for hedge accounting treatment under SFAS 133.  The non-trading economic category includes transactions that address a specific risk, but are not eligible for hedge accounting or hedge accounting is not elected.  Included in the non-trading economic category are certain load-following energy obligations and related supply contracts, capacity swaps, FTRs, crude oil swaps to hedge rail transportation charges and hedges of synthetic fuel tax credits.  Although they do not receive hedge accounting treatment, these contracts are considered non-trading.  The fair value of the non-trading economic contracts that do not qualify for accrual or hedge accounting treatment as of June 30, 2007, including net premiums on options, was $62 million.  The following chart sets forth PPL Energy Supply's net fair market value of all non-trading commodity derivative contracts.

The "Prices actively quoted" category includes the fair value of exchange-traded natural gas futures contracts quoted on the NYMEX, which has quoted prices through 2012.

The "Prices provided by other external sources" category includes PPL Energy Supply's forward positions and options in natural gas and electricity and natural gas basis swaps at points for which over-the-counter (OTC) broker quotes are available.

The "Prices based on models and other valuation methods" category includes the value of transactions for which an internally developed price curve was constructed as a result of the long-dated nature of the transaction or the illiquidity of the market point, or the value of options not quoted by an exchange or OTC broker.  This category includes the fair value of transactions completed in auction markets, where contract prices represent the market value for load-following bundled energy prices delivered at illiquid delivery points.  The transaction prices associated with the contracts did not equal the wholesale bilateral market prices at inception (Day 1).  However, EITF 02-3, "Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities," does not generally permit Day 1 gains and losses to be recognized unless the fair value is derived principally from observable market inputs.  Therefore, PPL Energy Supply recorded a reserve for the modeled Day 1 gain, which is netted against the above fair values.

Because of PPL Energy Supply's efforts to hedge the value of the energy from its generation assets, PPL Energy Supply sells electricity, capacity and related services and buys fuel on a forward basis, resulting in open contractual positions.  If PPL Energy Supply were unable to deliver firm capacity and energy or to accept the delivery of fuel under its agreements, under certain circumstances it could be required to pay damages.  These damages would be based on the difference between the market price and the contract price of the commodity.  Depending on price volatility in the wholesale energy markets, such damages could be significant.  Extreme weather conditions, unplanned power plant outages, transmission disruptions, non-performance by counterparties (or their own counterparties) with which it has energy contracts and other factors could affect PPL Energy Supply's ability to meet its obligations, or cause significant increases in the market price of replacement energy.  Although PPL Energy Supply attempts to mitigate these risks, there can be no assurance that it will be able to fully meet its firm obligations, that it will not be required to pay damages for failure to perform, or that it will not experience counterparty non-performance in the future.

As of June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its non-trading portfolio by approximately $480 million.  For purposes of this calculation, an increase in the market price for electricity is considered an adverse movement because PPL Energy Supply's electricity portfolio is generally in a net sales position, and the decrease in the market price for fuel is considered an adverse movement because PPL Energy Supply's commodity fuels portfolio is generally in a net purchase position.  PPL Energy Supply enters into those commodity contracts to reduce the market risk inherent in the generation of electricity.

Starting in 2007, PPL Energy Supply elected to use an alternative method for disclosing quantitative information about market risk sensitive instruments.  This method utilizes a VaR model to measure commodity price risk in its non-trading and trading portfolios.  This approach is consistent with how PPL's Risk Manager assesses the market risk of its commodity business.  VaR is a statistical model that attempts to predict risk of loss, under normal market conditions, based on historical market price volatility.  PPL Energy Supply calculates VaR using a Monte Carlo simulation technique, which uses historical data from the past 12 month period.  The VaR is the estimated nominal loss of earnings based on a one-day holding period at a 95% confidence interval.  As of June 30, 2007, the VaR for PPL Energy Supply's non-trading portfolio was $14 million.  This excludes the activity for PPL Energy Supply's synthetic fuel tax credit hedges.  Additional information regarding these hedges can be found in the "Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" section below.

See "Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)" above for information on the various sources of fair value.

As of June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its trading portfolio by $32 million, compared to $24 million as of June 30, 2006.

As of June 30, 2007, the VaR for PPL Energy Supply's trading portfolio was $2 million.  This excludes the activity for PPL Energy Supply's synthetic fuels tax credits.  Additional information regarding these hedges can be found in the "Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" section below.

Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk

At this time, PPL Energy Supply expects that the high level and the volatility of crude oil prices will reduce the amount of synthetic fuel tax credits that PPL Energy Supply receives through its synthetic fuel production.  The tax credits are reduced if the annual average wellhead price of domestic crude oil falls within a phase-out range.  The tax credits are eliminated if this reference price exceeds the phase-out range.  See "Regulatory Issues - IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits" in Note 10 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding the phase-out of the tax credits.

PPL Energy Supply implemented a risk management strategy to hedge a portion of the variability of cash flows associated with its 2006 and 2007 synthetic fuel tax credits by hedging the risk that the 2006 and 2007 annual average wellhead price for domestic crude oil will be within the phase-out range.

PPL Energy Supply has net purchased options for 2007 that are expected to mitigate PPL Energy Supply's tax credit phase-out risk due to an increase of the average wellhead price in 2007.  These positions did not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  The mark-to-market value of these positions at June 30, 2007, was a gain of $21 million.

As of June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices of crude oil would have decreased the value of the synthetic fuel hedges by $27 million.  For purposes of this calculation, a decrease in the market price for crude oil is considered an adverse movement.

Commodity Price Risk Summary

In accordance with its marketing and hedge strategy, PPL Energy Supply may not elect to fully hedge its generation output or fuel requirements.  PPL Energy Supply estimates that for its entire portfolio, including all generation, emissions and physical and financial energy positions, a 10% adverse change in power prices across all geographic zones and time periods would decrease expected 2007 gross margins by $11 million.  Similarly, a 10% adverse movement in all fossil fuel prices would decrease 2007 gross margins by $8 million.

Interest Rate Risk

PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries have issued debt to finance their operations, which exposes them to interest rate risk.  Both PPL and PPL Energy Supply manage interest rate risk for PPL Energy Supply by using various financial derivative products to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in PPL Energy Supply's debt portfolio, adjust the duration of its debt portfolio and lock in treasury rates (and interest rate spreads over treasuries) in anticipation of future financing, when appropriate.  Risk limits under the risk management program are designed to balance risk exposure to volatility in interest expense and changes in the fair value of PPL Energy Supply's debt portfolio due to changes in the absolute level of interest rates.

At June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was $4 million.

PPL Energy Supply is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its domestic and international debt portfolios.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of its debt portfolio, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was $285 million.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply utilize various risk management instruments to reduce PPL Energy Supply's exposure to the expected future cash flow variability of its debt instruments.  These risks include exposure to adverse interest rate movements for outstanding variable rate debt and for future anticipated financing.  While PPL Energy Supply is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in equity and then reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the item being hedged affects earnings.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply had none of these instruments outstanding.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply also utilize various risk management instruments to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in PPL Energy Supply's debt portfolio.  While PPL Energy Supply is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any change in market value is recorded with an equal and offsetting change in the value of the debt being hedged.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply estimated that its additional potential exposure to a change in the fair value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was $2 million.

WPDH Limited holds a net position in cross-currency swaps totaling $702 million to hedge the interest payments and principal of its U.S. dollar-denominated bonds with maturity dates ranging from December 2007 to December 2028.  The estimated value of this position at June 30, 2007, being the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay to terminate it, including accrued interest, was $176 million.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, was $127 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

PPL Energy Supply is exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily through investments in affiliates in the U.K. and Latin America.  In addition, PPL Energy Supply may make purchases of equipment in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply have adopted a foreign currency risk management program designed to hedge certain foreign currency exposures, including firm commitments, recognized assets or liabilities, anticipated transactions and net investments.  In addition, PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial instruments to protect against foreign currency translation risk of expected earnings.

To economically hedge 2007 expected income in Chilean pesos, PPL Energy Supply entered into average rate forwards totaling 12.4 billion Chilean pesos.  The settlement date of these forwards is November 2007.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay upon their termination, was insignificant.  PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $1 million at June 30, 2007.

To economically hedge 2007 expected income denominated in British pounds sterling, PPL entered into a combination of average rate forwards and average rate options, which total £60.1 million at June 30, 2007.  In connection with these transactions, PPL Energy Supply entered into average rate forwards and average rate options with PPL that have terms identical to those executed by PPL.  These forwards and options have termination dates ranging from September 2007 to December 2007.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay upon their termination, was $3 million.  PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $7 million at June 30, 2007.

PPL executed forward sale contracts totaling 215 billion Chilean pesos.  In connection with these transactions, PPL Energy Supply entered into forward contracts with PPL that have terms identical to those executed by PPL.  Of these forward sale contracts, 161 billion Chilean pesos are to hedge PPL Energy Supply's net investment in Emel, while 54 billion Chilean pesos are to partially hedge the proceeds from the anticipated sale of Emel.  The settlement date of these forwards is December 2007.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay upon their termination, was $8 million.  PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $44 million at June 30, 2007.

PPL executed forward sale contracts totaling £22.5 million.  In connection with these transactions, PPL Energy Supply entered into forward contracts with PPL that have terms identical to those executed by PPL.  These forward sale contracts are to partially hedge PPL Energy Supply's net investment in WPD.  The settlement date of these forwards is January 2008.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL would pay upon their termination was insignificant.  PPL estimated that its potential additional exposure to a change in the market value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was $4 million at June 30, 2007.

PPL Energy Supply has entered into a forward contract to purchase 5.1 million Euros in order to protect against fluctuations in the Euro exchange rate, in connection with the purchase of equipment.  The settlement date of this contract is January 2008.  At June 30, 2007, the market value of this position, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would receive upon its termination, was insignificant.  PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the market value of this instrument, through a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates, was insignificant at June 30, 2007.

Nuclear Decommissioning Trust Funds - Securities Price Risk

In connection with certain NRC requirements, PPL Susquehanna maintains trust funds to fund certain costs of decommissioning the Susquehanna nuclear station.  As of June 30, 2007, these funds were invested primarily in domestic equity securities and fixed-rate, fixed-income securities and are reflected at fair value on PPL Energy Supply's Balance Sheet.  The mix of securities is designed to provide returns sufficient to be used to fund Susquehanna's decommissioning and to compensate for inflationary increases in decommissioning costs.  However, the equity securities included in the trusts are exposed to price fluctuation in equity markets, and the values of fixed-rate, fixed-income securities are exposed to changes in interest rates.  PPL actively monitors the investment performance and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with its nuclear decommissioning trust policy statement.  At June 30, 2007, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and a 10% decrease in equity prices would have resulted in an estimated $41 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets.  See Note 21 in PPL Energy Supply's 2006 Form 10-K for more information regarding the nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Related Party Transactions

PPL Energy Supply is not aware of any material ownership interests or operating responsibility by senior management of PPL Energy Supply in outside partnerships, including leasing transactions with variable interest entities, or other entities doing business with PPL Energy Supply.

For additional information on related party transactions, see Note 11 to the Financial Statements.

Acquisitions, Development and Divestitures

PPL continuously evaluates strategic options for its business segments and from time to time, PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries are involved in negotiations with third parties regarding acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets, joint ventures and development projects which may or may not result in definitive agreements.  Any such transactions may impact future financial results.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information regarding such recent transactions.

PPL Energy Supply is currently planning incremental capacity increases of 343 MW at several existing domestic generating facilities.  Offsetting this increase is an expected 30 MW reduction in generation capability at each of the Brunner Island and Montour plants, due to the estimated increases in station service usage during the scrubber operation.  See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for additional information, as well as information regarding the planned shut down of two 150 MW generating units at PPL Martins Creek in September 2007.

PPL Energy Supply is continuously reexamining development projects based on market conditions and other factors to determine whether to proceed with these projects, sell them, cancel them, expand them, execute tolling agreements or pursue other opportunities.

Environmental Matters

See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental matters.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 17 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting standards recently adopted or pending adoption.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

PPL Energy Supply's financial condition and results of operations are impacted by the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the application of critical accounting policies.  The following accounting policies are particularly important to the financial condition or results of operations of PPL Energy Supply, and require estimates or other judgments of matters inherently uncertain: price risk management, pension and other postretirement benefits, asset impairment, leasing, loss accruals and asset retirement obligations.

See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL Energy Supply's 2006 Form 10-K for a discussion of each critical accounting policy.  PPL's senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies, and the estimates and assumptions regarding them, with its Audit Committee.  In addition, PPL's senior management reviewed the Form 10-K disclosures regarding the application of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."  In May 2007, the FASB amended this guidance by issuing FSP FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48."  PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries adopted FIN 48, as amended, effective January 1, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 alters the methodology PPL Energy Supply previously used to account for income tax uncertainties.  Effective with the adoption of FIN 48, uncertain tax positions are no longer considered to be contingencies assessed in accordance with SFAS 5, "Accounting for Contingencies."  The following is an update to the "Income Tax Uncertainties" section of the "Loss Accruals" critical accounting policy disclosed in PPL Energy Supply's 2006 Form 10-K, which reflects the adoption of FIN 48.

Similar to SFAS 5, FIN 48 continues to require significant management judgment in determining the amount of benefit to be recognized in relation to an uncertain tax position.  FIN 48 requires PPL Energy Supply to evaluate its tax positions following a two-step process.  The first step requires an entity to determine whether, based on the technical merits supporting a particular tax position, it is more likely than not (greater than a 50 percent chance) that the tax position will be sustained.  This determination assumes that the relevant taxing authority will examine the tax position and is aware of all the relevant facts surrounding the tax position.  The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion.  The measurement of the benefit equals the largest amount of benefit that has a likelihood of realization, upon settlement, that exceeds 50 percent.  PPL Energy Supply's management considers a number of factors in assessing the benefit to be recognized, including negotiation of a settlement.

On a quarterly basis, PPL Energy Supply reassesses its uncertain tax positions by considering information known at the reporting date.  Based on management's assessment of new information, PPL Energy Supply may subsequently recognize a tax benefit for a previously unrecognized tax position, derecognize a previously recognized tax position, or remeasure the benefit of a previously recognized tax position.

The balance sheet classification of unrecognized tax benefits also requires significant management judgment.  FIN 48 requires an entity to classify unrecognized tax benefits as current, to the extent management expects to settle an uncertain tax position, by paying cash, within one year of the reporting date.

Significant management judgment is also required in developing valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.  Valuation allowances are initially recorded and reevaluated each reporting period by assessing the likelihood of the ultimate realization of a deferred tax asset.  Management considers a number of factors in assessing the realization of a deferred tax asset, including forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies.  Any tax planning strategy utilized in this assessment must meet the recognition and measurement criteria of FIN 48.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for the disclosures required by FIN 48.

Results of Operations

The following discussion, which explains significant changes in principal items on PPL Electric's Statements of Income, compares the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, with the same periods in 2006.

The Statements of Income reflect the results of past operations and are not intended as any indication of future operating results.  Future operating results will necessarily be affected by various and diverse factors and developments.  Furthermore, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and by seasonal variations, the results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate results or trends for the year.

The period-to-period changes in significant earnings components are explained in the "Statement of Income Analysis."

PPL Electric's period-to-period earnings were affected by a number of factors, including higher delivery revenues which were primarily due to 6% and 5% increases in sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, due in part to the impact of favorable weather in 2007 on residential and commercial sales and normal load growth.

Outlook

PPL Electric expects to have modest earnings growth in 2007 compared with 2006, excluding special items, with load growth being offset by increased operation and maintenance expenses.

In March 2007, PPL Electric filed a request with the PUC to increase distribution rates by approximately $84 million (subsequently amended to $77 million).  The PUC's review of the distribution rate request is expected to take about nine months.  The proposed distribution rate increase, as amended, would result in a 2.4% increase over PPL Electric's present rates and would be effective January 1, 2008.  PPL Electric cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

In May 2007, the PUC approved PPL Electric's plan to procure default electricity supply in 2010 for retail customers who do not choose an alternative competitive supplier after PPL Electric's PLR contract with PPL EnergyPlus expires.  Under the plan, PPL Electric will issue a series of competitive bids for such supply in 2007, 2008 and 2009.  The price customers pay in 2010 will result from a blend of contracts from these competitive bids.  Based on the PUC-approved bid solicitation schedule, PPL Electric issued the first series of competitive bids for 850 MW of electricity supply in May 2007; received the competitive bid proposals by July 23, 2007; and obtained PUC approval of the winning proposals on July 26, 2007.  The average generation supply price, including Pennsylvania gross receipts tax, from this first of six competitive solicitations for residential customers is $96.30 per MWh and for small commercial and industrial customers is $99.46 per MWh.  If the prices paid in this supply purchase were to be the same for the remaining five purchases, the average residential customer's monthly bill in 2010 would increase by approximately 28% over 2009 levels, while small commercial and industrial bills would increase between 18% to 37%.  (The estimated increases exclude any potential rate increases from the current rate proceeding.)

In May 2007, the PUC also approved final regulations regarding the obligation of Pennsylvania electric utilities to provide default electricity supply in 2011 and beyond.  The new regulations provide that default service providers will acquire electricity supply at prevailing market prices pursuant to procurement and implementation plans approved by the PUC.  The regulations also address the utilities' recovery of market supply costs.  The final regulations will become effective after review by several other state agencies and official publication in Pennsylvania.

Higher PLR revenues and electric delivery revenues were primarily attributable to 6% and 5% increases in sales volume for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, due in part to the impact of favorable weather in 2007 on residential and commercial sales and normal load growth.

Wholesale Electric to Affiliate

PPL Electric has a contract to sell to PPL EnergyPlus the electricity that PPL Electric purchases under contracts with NUGs.  The decreases of $2 million and $4 million in wholesale revenue to affiliate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same periods in 2006, were primarily due to lower generation at several NUG facilities during 2007.  PPL Electric therefore had less electricity to purchase from the NUG facilities, and then sell to PPL EnergyPlus in 2007.

Energy Purchases from Affiliate

The increases in energy purchases from affiliate of $27 million and $62 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same periods in 2006, reflect an increase in PLR load, as well as higher prices for energy purchased under the power supply contracts with PPL EnergyPlus needed to support the PLR load.


Other Operation and Maintenance

The increases in other operation and maintenance expenses were due to:

Depreciation

Depreciation expense increased $5 million and $8 million in the three and six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same periods in 2006.  These increases were primarily due to the purchase in September 2006 of equipment previously leased.

Taxes, Other Than Income

Taxes, other than income increased by $6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2007, compared with the same period in 2006. The increase was primarily due to a $7 million increase in domestic gross receipts tax expense resulting from a 5% increase in sales volume, offset by a $1 million decrease in domestic capital stock tax expense.

Other Income - net

See Note 12 to the Financial Statements for details of other income.

Financing Costs

The $159 million decrease in PPL Electric's cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments position was primarily the result of:

·
the retirement of $157 million of long-term debt;
·
$138 million of capital expenditures; and
·
the payment of $74 million of common stock dividends to PPL; partially offset by
·
$159 million of cash provided by operating activities; and
·
a net increase in short-term debt of $54 million.

Credit Facilities

In May 2007, PPL Electric entered into a $200 million Third Amended and Restated Five-Year Credit Agreement, which extended the term of its existing credit facility to May 2012.  Under certain conditions, PPL Electric may elect to have the principal balance of the loans outstanding on the final maturity date of the facility continue as non-revolving term loans for a period of one year from that final maturity date.  Also, under certain conditions, PPL Electric may request that the facility's principal amount be increased by up to $100 million.  PPL Electric has the ability to cause the lenders under this facility to issue letters of credit.

In July 2007, PPL Electric and a subsidiary extended the expiration date of the credit agreement related to its participation in an asset-backed commercial paper program to July 2008.

Rating Agency Decisions

Moody's, S&P and Fitch periodically review the credit ratings on the debt and preferred securities of PPL Electric and PPL Transition Bond Company.  Based on their respective independent reviews, the rating agencies may make certain ratings revisions or ratings affirmations.

A credit rating reflects an assessment by the rating agency of the creditworthiness associated with an issuer and particular securities that it issues.  The credit ratings of PPL Electric and PPL Transition Bond Company are based on information provided by PPL Electric and other sources.  The ratings of Moody's, S&P and Fitch are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any securities of PPL Electric or PPL Transition Bond Company.  Such ratings may be subject to revisions or withdrawal by the agencies at any time and should be evaluated independently of each other and any other rating that may be assigned to the securities.  A downgrade in PPL Electric's or PPL Transition Bond Company's credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets.

Moody's, S&P and Fitch did not take any actions related to PPL Electric or PPL Transition Bond Company during the six months ended June 30, 2007.

(a)
 
Construction expenditures include AFUDC, which is expected to be $13 million for the 2007-2011 period.

PPL Electric's capital expenditure projections for the years 2007-2011 total $1.7 billion.  Capital expenditure plans are revised periodically to reflect changes in operational, market and regulatory conditions.  The above schedule has been revised from that which was presented in PPL Electric's 2006 10-K, primarily to reflect the cost for the PJM-approved regional transmission expansion project.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

PPL Electric plans to fund all of its capital expenditures in 2007 with cash on hand and cash from operations.

For additional information on PPL Electric's liquidity and capital resources, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL Electric's 2006 Form 10-K.

Risk Management

Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk - PLR Contracts

PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus have power supply agreements under which PPL EnergyPlus sells to PPL Electric (under a predetermined pricing arrangement) energy and capacity to fulfill PPL Electric's PLR obligation through 2009.  As a result, PPL Electric has shifted any electric price risk relating to its PLR obligation to PPL EnergyPlus through 2009.  See Note 11 to the Financial Statements for information on the PLR contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

PPL Electric has issued debt to finance its operations, which exposes it to interest rate risk.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Electric's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was insignificant.

PPL Electric is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its debt portfolio.  At June 30, 2007, PPL Electric estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of its debt portfolio, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was $34 million.

Related Party Transactions

PPL Electric is not aware of any material ownership interests or operating responsibility by senior management of PPL Electric in outside partnerships, including leasing transactions with variable interest entities, or other entities doing business with PPL Electric.

For additional information on related party transactions, see Note 11 to the Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental matters.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 17 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting standards recently adopted or pending adoption.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

PPL Electric's financial condition and results of operations are impacted by the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the application of critical accounting policies.  The following accounting policies are particularly important to the financial condition or results of operations of PPL Electric, and require estimates or other judgments of matters inherently uncertain: pension and other postretirement benefits and loss accruals.

See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL Electric's 2006 Form 10-K for a discussion of each critical accounting policy.  PPL's senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies, and the estimates and assumptions regarding them, with its Audit Committee.  In addition, PPL's senior management reviewed the Form 10-K disclosures regarding the application of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

In June 2006, the FASB issued FIN 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109."  In May 2007, the FASB amended this guidance by issuing FSP FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48."  PPL Electric and its subsidiaries adopted FIN 48, as amended, effective January 1, 2007.  The adoption of FIN 48 alters the methodology PPL Electric previously used to account for income tax uncertainties.  Effective with the adoption of FIN 48, uncertain tax positions are no longer considered to be contingencies assessed in accordance with SFAS 5, "Accounting for Contingencies."  The following is an update to the "Income Tax Uncertainties" section of the "Loss Accruals" critical accounting policy disclosed in PPL Electric's 2006 Form 10-K, which reflects the adoption of FIN 48.

Similar to SFAS 5, FIN 48 continues to require significant management judgment in determining the amount of benefit to be recognized in relation to an uncertain tax position.  FIN 48 requires PPL Electric to evaluate its tax positions following a two-step process.  The first step requires an entity to determine whether, based on the technical merits supporting a particular tax position, it is more likely than not (greater than a 50 percent chance) that the tax position will be sustained.  This determination assumes that the relevant taxing authority will examine the tax position and is aware of all the relevant facts surrounding the tax position.  The second step requires an entity to recognize in the financial statements the benefit of a tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition criterion.  The measurement of the benefit equals the largest amount of benefit that has a likelihood of realization, upon settlement, that exceeds 50 percent.  PPL Electric's management considers a number of factors in assessing the benefit to be recognized, including negotiation of a settlement.

On a quarterly basis, PPL Electric reassesses its uncertain tax positions by considering information known at the reporting date.  Based on management's assessment of new information, PPL Electric may subsequently recognize a tax benefit for a previously unrecognized tax position, derecognize a previously recognized tax position, or remeasure the benefit of a previously recognized tax position.

The balance sheet classification of unrecognized tax benefits also requires significant management judgment.  FIN 48 requires an entity to classify unrecognized tax benefits as current, to the extent management expects to settle an uncertain tax position, by paying cash, within one year of the reporting date.

Significant management judgment is also required in developing valuation allowances for deferred tax assets.  Valuation allowances are initially recorded and reevaluated each reporting period by assessing the likelihood of the ultimate realization of a deferred tax asset.  Management considers a number of factors in assessing the realization of a deferred tax asset, including forecasts of future taxable income and available tax planning strategies.  Any tax planning strategy utilized in this assessment must meet the recognition and measurement criteria of FIN 48.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for the disclosures required by FIN 48.
