Terms and abbreviations appearing in Combined Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are explained in the glossary.  Dollars are in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted.
 
(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.  Each Registrant's Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008 is derived from that Registrant's 2008 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 2008 Form 10-K.  The results of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2009, or other future periods, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and seasonal variations.
 
The classification of certain prior period amounts has been changed to conform to the presentation in the June 30, 2009 financial statements.  For PPL and PPL Energy Supply, these changes include the impact of new accounting standards adopted.  See Note 2 for additional information.
 
(PPL)
 
Discontinued Operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, includes the operating activity of PPL's natural gas distribution and propane businesses that were sold in October 2008.  See Note 8 for additional information.  The Statements of Cash Flows do not separately report the cash flows of the Discontinued Operations.
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
Discontinued Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2008 includes activity related to the Latin American businesses that were dissolved in 2008.
 
In May 2009, PPL Generation signed a definitive agreement to sell its Long Island generation business and related tolling agreements.  In July 2009, PPL Maine signed a definitive agreement to sell the majority of its hydroelectric generation business.  PPL expects both sales to close in 2009.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 are classified as Discontinued Operations.  The assets and liabilities of the Long Island generation business and the majority of the Maine hydroelectric generation business expected to be sold are classified as held for sale on the Balance Sheet at June 30, 2009.
 
See Note 8 for additional information on the Discontinued Operations and the anticipated sales.  The Statements of Cash Flows do not separately report the cash flows of the Discontinued Operations.
 
The following accounting policy disclosures represent updates to the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" Note in each Registrant's 2008 Form 10-K and should be read in conjunction with that discussion.
 
Revenue (PPL and PPL Electric)
 
Revenue Recognition
 
Beginning November 1, 2008, PPL Electric's transmission revenues are billed in accordance with a tariff pending FERC-approval that utilizes a formula rate recovery mechanism.  The tariff allows for recovery of actual transmission costs incurred, a return on transmission plant placed in service and an incentive return on construction work in progress for FERC-approved regional transmission expansion projects.  The tariff utilizes estimated costs for the current year billing to customers and requires a true-up to adjust for actual costs in the subsequent year's rate.  Once PPL Electric's formula rate recovery mechanism is approved by the FERC, the annual update of the rate is implemented automatically without specific approval by the FERC required before going into effect.
 
During the three months ended June 30, 2009, a true-up was recorded for the FERC formula-based transmission revenues that had been billed for the period November 1, 2008 through May 31, 2009 based on a calculation of the amounts that will be returned to customers in future rates for the required true-up to actual costs.  This amount is reflected on the Statement of Income in "Utility" revenue for PPL and in "Retail electric" for PPL Electric, and reduced revenue by $11 million and net income by $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  The overcollected revenue and an insignificant amount of interest will be returned to customers in monthly rates between June 1, 2009 and May 31, 2010.
 
The $7 million after-tax true-up recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2009 includes $5 million related to prior periods ($2 million related to 2008 and $3 million related to the three months ended March 31, 2009).  The true-up, reflected in the Pennsylvania Delivery segment for PPL, is not considered by management as material to the financial statements of PPL and PPL Electric for the year ended December 31, 2008 or the quarter ended March 31, 2009 and it is not expected to be material to the financial statements for the full year 2009.
 
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
Investments in debt securities are classified as held-to-maturity and measured at amortized cost, when there is an intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity.  Debt securities and equity securities that are acquired and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near-term are classified as trading.  Trading securities are generally held to capitalize on fluctuations in their value.  All other investments in debt and equity securities are classified as available-for-sale.  Both trading and available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value.  The specific identification method is used to calculate realized gains and losses on debt and equity securities.  Any unrealized gains and losses on trading securities are included in earnings.  Through March 31, 2009, unrealized gains and losses on all available-for-sale securities were reported, net of tax, in OCI or recognized in earnings when the decline in fair value below amortized cost was determined to be an other-than-temporary impairment.
 
As described in "New Accounting Standards Adopted," FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 modifies the criteria for determining whether a decline in fair value of a debt security is other than temporary and whether the other than temporary impairment is recognized in earnings or reported in OCI.  Beginning April 1, 2009, when a debt security is in an unrealized loss position:
 
·
if there is an intent to sell the security or a requirement to sell the security before recovery, the other-than-temporary impairment is recognized currently in earnings; or
·
if there is no intent to sell the security or requirement to sell the security before recovery, the portion of the other-than-temporary impairment that is considered a credit loss is recognized currently in earnings and the remainder of the other-than-temporary impairment is reported in OCI, net of tax; or
·
if there is no intent to sell the security or requirement to sell the security before recovery and there is no credit loss, the unrealized loss is reported in OCI, net of tax.
 
Equity securities were not impacted by the FSP; therefore, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale equity securities continue to be reported, net of tax, in OCI or recognized in earnings when a decline in fair value below amortized cost is determined to be an other-than-temporary impairment.  See Notes 13 and 18 for additional information on investments in debt and equity securities.
 
New Accounting Standards Adopted (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
EITF 08-5
 
EITF 08-5 applies to liabilities issued with an inseparable third-party credit enhancement when the liability is measured or disclosed at fair value on a recurring basis.  An issuer shall disclose the existence of a third-party credit enhancement, and the fair value measurement of the liability shall not include the effect of this third-party credit enhancement.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted EITF 08-5, prospectively, effective January 1, 2009.  The initial adoption of EITF 08-5 did not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements, as this guidance currently only impacts the fair value disclosure of certain credit-enhanced debt instruments.  See "Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value-Other" within Note 13 for these disclosures.
 
FSP APB 14-1
 
FSP APB 14-1 requires an issuer to separately account for the liability and equity components of convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash (or other assets) upon conversion in a manner that reflects the issuer's nonconvertible debt borrowing rate when interest cost is recognized in subsequent periods.  The discount that results from separating the liability and equity components will be amortized over the life of the debt and recognized as interest expense.  PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FSP APB 14-1 effective January 1, 2009, which required retrospective application to all prior periods presented.
 
FSP APB 14-1 was applicable to PPL Energy Supply's 2-5/8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 (Convertible Senior Notes), which upon conversion required cash settlement of the principal amount and permitted settlement of any conversion premium in cash or PPL common stock.  During 2008, all of the Convertible Senior Notes were either converted at the election of the holders or redeemed at par as a result of PPL Energy Supply calling the notes for redemption.  FSP APB 14-1 required only retrospective application with regard to the Convertible Senior Notes, as none of these notes were outstanding at the effective date.  The retrospective application of this FSP impacted PPL in periods prior to 2006.  As such, PPL reduced the opening balance of "Earnings reinvested" by $13 million with a corresponding increase to "Capital in excess of par value."
 
FSP EITF 03-6-1
 
FSP EITF 03-6-1 requires that unvested share-based payment awards that contain nonforfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents be considered participating securities and be included in the computation of EPS under the two-class method.  The two-class method treats share-based payment awards that pay nonforfeitable dividends as a separate class of stock for purposes of computing EPS.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FSP EITF 03-6-1, retrospectively, effective January 1, 2009.  The adoption did not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries.  As a result of the application of this FSP, PPL's restricted stock, restricted stock units, and stock units granted to directors are now considered participating securities; therefore, PPL is required to compute EPS under the two-class method.  The retrospective application of this FSP caused PPL's basic EPS for income from continuing operations after income taxes available to PPL Corporation common shareowners to decrease by $0.01 for the three months ended June 30, 2008, and basic EPS for net income available to PPL Corporation common shareowners to decrease by $0.01 for the six months ended June 30, 2008.  See Note 4 for additional information.
 
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1
 
FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 applies to all financial instruments within the scope of SFAS 107 and requires a publicly traded company to include disclosures about the fair value of its financial instruments in interim reporting periods.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, prospectively, effective April 1, 2009.  This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption.  The adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 did not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements, as this guidance only impacts disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments.  See "Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value-Other" within Note 13 for these disclosures.
 
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2
 
FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2 modifies the existing requirement that an entity have the intent and ability to hold an impaired debt security to recovery in order to conclude an impairment was temporary.  Instead, an impairment of a debt security is other than temporary if (1) an entity has the intent to sell the security, (2) it is more likely than not that an entity will be required to sell the security before recovery, or (3) an entity does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the security, referred to as a credit loss.
 
In addition, the FSP changes the recording of an other-than-temporary impairment on a debt security if the reason for the other-than-temporary impairment is the recognition of a credit loss.  In this situation, the other-than-temporary impairment will be separated into the credit loss component, which is recognized in earnings, and the remainder of the other-than-temporary impairment, which is recorded in OCI.
 
For a debt security held at the beginning of the period of adoption for which an other-than-temporary impairment was previously recognized, if an entity does not intend to sell the debt security and it is not more likely than not that the entity will be required to sell the debt security before recovery of its amortized cost basis, the cumulative effect of applying this FSP will be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings with a corresponding adjustment to AOCI.
 
The FSP affects the accounting for PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's investments in debt securities in the NDT funds.  Prior to the application of this FSP, PPL and PPL Energy Supply were unable to demonstrate the ability to hold an impaired debt security in the NDT funds until recovery; therefore, an unrealized loss on a debt security always represented an other-than-temporary impairment that required a current period charge to earnings.  Based on the application of this FSP, certain unrealized losses on investments in debt securities are no longer considered other-than-temporary impairments and will be recorded to OCI.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, effective April 1, 2009.  Related SEC guidance, Topic 5M, was also amended to no longer apply to debt securities.  As a result of the adoption, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recorded an immaterial cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings with a corresponding reduction to AOCI.
 
FSP FAS 157-4
 
FSP FAS 157-4, which supersedes FSP FAS 157-3, provides additional guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of activity for the asset or liability have significantly decreased.  It also includes guidance on identifying circumstances that indicate a transaction is not orderly.  This FSP emphasizes that the objective of a fair value measurement remains the same; that is, fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted FSP FAS 157-4, prospectively, effective April 1, 2009.  This FSP does not require disclosures for earlier periods presented for comparative purposes at initial adoption. In periods after initial adoption, this FSP requires comparative disclosures only for periods ending after initial adoption.  The adoption of FSP FAS 157-4 did not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements.
 
SFAS 141(R)
 
SFAS 141(R) changes the accounting and reporting for business combinations occurring after its adoption.  In addition, SFAS 141(R) requires entities to recognize changes in unrecognized tax benefits acquired in a business combination, including business combinations that occurred prior to January 1, 2009, in income tax expense rather than in goodwill.  PPL and its subsidiaries adopted SFAS 141(R), prospectively, effective January 1, 2009.  The January 1, 2009 adoption of SFAS 141(R) did not have a significant impact on PPL and its subsidiaries; however, the impact in future periods could be material.
 
In the first quarter of 2009, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recorded an income tax benefit of $14 million as a result of settling an income tax dispute.  Prior to the adoption of SFAS 141(R), $7 million of this income tax benefit would have been recorded as a reduction to goodwill.
 
SFAS 157
 
Effective January 1, 2009, PPL and its subsidiaries fully applied SFAS 157 to fair value measurement concepts used within their financial statements where applicable.
 
SFAS 160
 
The FASB issued SFAS 160 to improve the relevancy, comparability, and transparency of the financial information an entity provides when it has a noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and when it changes its ownership interest in a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 requires that the ownership interests in subsidiaries held by parties other than the parent be presented in the consolidated statement of financial position within equity, but separate from the parent's equity, and that the amount of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and to the noncontrolling interest be presented on the face of the consolidated statement of income.  SFAS 160 modifies the accounting for both changes in a parent's ownership interest while the parent retains its controlling financial interest in its subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary.  SFAS 160 also requires enhanced disclosures relating to noncontrolling interests.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted SFAS 160, prospectively, effective January 1, 2009, concurrent with the adoption of SFAS 141(R), except for the presentation and disclosure requirements, which required retrospective application.  The adoption of SFAS 160 did not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements.
 
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, PPL reflected PPL Electric's preferred securities of $301 million within "Noncontrolling interests" on the Balance Sheets.  Dividend requirements of $4 million and $9 million were included in "Net Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests" on the Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
SFAS 161
 
SFAS 161 applies to all derivative instruments, including bifurcated derivative instruments and nonderivative instruments that are designated and qualify as hedging instruments pursuant to SFAS 133, as well as related hedged items accounted for under SFAS 133.  SFAS 161 requires an entity to expand disclosures to provide greater transparency about (a) how and why it uses derivative instruments, (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for under SFAS 133 and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted SFAS 161, prospectively, effective January 1, 2009.  The enhanced disclosures required by SFAS 161 are presented in Note 14.  SFAS 161 was issued to provide greater transparency by enhancing existing disclosures; therefore, the adoption did not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements.
 
SFAS 165
 
SFAS 165 sets forth the period after the balance sheet date during which management of a reporting entity shall evaluate events or transactions that may occur for potential recognition or disclosure in the financial statements.  Additionally, SFAS 165 sets forth recognition and disclosure requirements for events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date, including a requirement to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  SFAS 165 shall be applied to the accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events that are not within the scope of other GAAP.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries adopted SFAS 165, prospectively, for the interim periods ended June 30, 2009.  The initial adoption of SFAS 165 did not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements.  See Note 21 for the disclosures required by SFAS 165.
 
New Accounting Standards Pending Adoption
 
See Note 20 for a discussion of new accounting standards pending adoption.

EPS is computed using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation method for computing EPS that treats a participating security as having rights to earnings that would otherwise have been available to common shareowners.  Share-based payment awards that provide recipients a non-forfeitable right to dividends or dividend equivalents are considered participating securities.
 
Basic EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareowners by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period.  Diluted EPS is computed by dividing income available to common shareowners by the weighted-average number of shares outstanding that are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive non-participating securities were converted to common shares.  In 2009 and 2008, these securities consisted of stock options and performance units granted under the incentive compensation plans.  In 2008, these securities also included PPL Energy Supply's 2-5/8% Convertible Senior Notes (Convertible Senior Notes).
 
The basic and diluted EPS computations and reconciliations of the amounts of income and shares (in thousands) of common stock used in the calculations are:

At June 30, 2009, it was reasonably possible that during the next 12 months the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits could increase by as much as $11 million or decrease by up to $106 million for PPL, increase by as much as $11 million or decrease by up to $86 million for PPL Energy Supply and decrease by up to $9 million for PPL Electric.  These increases and decreases could result from 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 AMT 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, 2009, PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric had accrued interest related to tax positions of $37 million, $28 million and $6 million.  At December 31, 2008, PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric had accrued interest of $35 million, $28 million and $7 million.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries recognize interest in "Income Taxes" on their Statements of Income.  The following amounts were recognized.

The net expense (benefit) recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and June 30, 2008 for PPL and PPL Energy Supply were primarily the result of additional interest accrued or reversed related to tax positions of prior years and the lapse of applicable statutes of limitations, with respect to certain issues.
 
 
(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
In February 2009, PPL announced workforce reductions that resulted in the elimination of approximately 200 management and staff positions across PPL's domestic operations, or approximately 6% of PPL's non-union, domestic workforce.  The majority of the affected employees were separated during the first quarter of 2009.  The charges noted below consisted primarily of enhanced pension and severance benefits under PPL's Pension Plan and Separation Policy and were recorded to "Other operation and maintenance" expense on the Statement of Income.
 
As a result of the workforce reductions, PPL recorded a one-time charge of $22 million ($13 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2009.
 
PPL Energy Supply eliminated approximately 50 management and staff positions and recorded a one-time charge of $13 million ($8 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2009.  Included in this charge was $8 million ($4 million after tax) of allocated costs associated with the elimination of employees of PPL Services.
 
PPL Electric eliminated approximately 50 management and staff positions and recorded a one-time charge of $9 million ($5 million after tax) in the first quarter of 2009.  Included in this charge was $3 million ($1 million after tax) of allocated costs associated with the elimination of employees of PPL Services.

(a)
 
Under this facility, PPL Energy Supply has the ability to make cash borrowings and to cause the lenders to issue letters of credit.  Borrowings generally bear interest at LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, depending upon the company's public debt rating.
     
(b)
 
In March 2009, PPL Energy Supply's 364-day bilateral credit facility was amended.  The amendment included extending the expiration date from March 2009 to March 2010 and reducing the capacity from $300 million to $200 million.  Under this facility, PPL Energy Supply can cause the bank to issue letters of credit but cannot make cash borrowings.
     
(c)
 
Under this facility, PPL Energy Supply has the ability to cause the lenders to issue letters of credit but cannot make cash borrowings.  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, but related, $300 million five-year credit agreement, also expiring in March 2011.
     
(d)
 
Under this facility, PPL Energy Supply has the ability to make cash borrowings and to cause the lenders to issue letters of credit.  Borrowings generally bear interest at LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, depending upon the company's public debt rating.  The borrowing outstanding at June 30, 2009 bears interest at 2.14%.
     
(e)
 
Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, depending on the company's public debt rating.  The cash borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2009 were comprised of a USD-denominated borrowing of $181 million, which equated to £125 million at the time of borrowing and bears interest at approximately 2.43%, and a GBP-denominated borrowing of £20 million, which bears interest at approximately 1.99%.
     
(f)
 
Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR-based rates plus a spread, depending on the company's public debt rating.  The weighted-average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding at June 30, 2009 was 1.22%.
 
In July 2009, this facility was terminated and replaced with a new £210 million three-year syndicated credit facility expiring in July 2012.  Under the new facility, WPD (South West) has the ability to make cash borrowings but cannot cause the lenders to issue letters of credit.  Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR-based rates plus a margin.  The new facility contains financial covenants that require WPD (South West) to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 times consolidated earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization and total net debt not in excess of 85% of its regulatory asset base, in each case calculated in accordance with the credit facility.
     
(g)
 
The weighted-average interest rate on the borrowings outstanding under these facilities at June 30, 2009 was 1.21%.

(b)
 
PPL Electric participates in an asset-backed commercial paper program through which PPL Electric obtains financing by selling and contributing its eligible accounts receivable and unbilled revenue to a special purpose, wholly-owned subsidiary on an ongoing basis.  The subsidiary has pledged these assets to secure loans from a commercial paper conduit sponsored by a financial institution.  The subsidiary's borrowing costs under the credit facility vary based on the commercial paper conduit's actual cost to issue commercial paper that supports the debt.
     
   
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, $226 million and $76 million of accounts receivable and $144 million and $170 million of unbilled revenue were pledged by the subsidiary under the credit agreement related to PPL Electric's and the subsidiary's participation in the asset-backed commercial paper program.  Based on the accounts receivable and unbilled revenue pledged, $150 million was available for borrowing at June 30, 2009. PPL Electric's sale to its subsidiary of the accounts receivable and unbilled revenue 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.  PPL Electric performs certain record-keeping and cash collection functions with respect to the assets in return for a servicing fee from the subsidiary.
 
In July 2009, PPL Electric and the subsidiary extended the expiration date of the credit agreement to July 2010.
 
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 five-year syndicated credit facility that expires in May 2012 based on available capacity.  PPL Electric had no commercial paper outstanding at June 30, 2009.

Financing Activities
 
(PPL)
 
In March 2009, PPL Capital Funding retired the entire $201 million of its 4.33% Notes Exchange Series A upon maturity.
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
In March 2009, PPL Energy Supply completed tender offers to purchase up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of certain of its outstanding senior notes in order to reduce future interest expense. Pursuant to the offers, PPL Energy Supply purchased approximately $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Senior Notes due 2036 for $77 million, plus accrued interest, and approximately $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.20% Senior Notes due 2016 for $143 million, plus accrued interest.  In connection with the extinguishment of these notes, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recorded a net gain of $25 million, which is reflected in "Other Income (Expense) - net" on the Statement of Income for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  PPL recorded an additional net gain of $4 million in "Other Income (Expense) - net" as a result of reclassifying gains and losses on related cash flow hedges from AOCI into earnings.
 
In April 2009, the PEDFA issued $231 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2009A and 2009B due 2038 and Series 2009C due 2037 (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project), on behalf of PPL Energy Supply.  The Series 2009A bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, and the Series 2009B bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, were issued by the PEDFA in order to refund $150 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A and 2008B (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) due 2038 that were issued by the PEDFA in December 2008 on behalf of PPL Energy Supply, and for which PPL Investment Corp. acted as initial purchaser.  The Series 2009C bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $81 million, were issued in order to refund $81 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2007 (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) due 2037 that were issued by the PEDFA in December 2007 on behalf of PPL Energy Supply.  Among other things, the completed refundings were able to take advantage of provisions in the Economic Stimulus Package that eliminated the application of the AMT to interest payable on the refinanced indebtedness.  The refundings of the bonds were effected by the ultimate distribution of $231 million by the PEDFA to the bond holders, including PPL Investment Corp.  As a result of the refundings of the bonds, PPL Investment Corp. received proceeds of $150 million, which is reflected as a cash flow from investing activities on the Statement of Cash Flows for PPL and PPL Energy Supply for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
The Series 2009A, 2009B and 2009C bonds are structured as variable-rate remarketable bonds.  PPL Energy Supply may convert the interest rate mode on the bonds from time to time to a commercial paper rate, daily rate, weekly rate or a term rate of at least one year.  The bonds are subject to mandatory purchase under certain circumstances, including upon conversion to a different interest rate mode, and are subject to mandatory redemption upon a determination that the interest on the bonds would be included in the holders' gross income for federal tax purposes.  The Series 2009A bonds bore interest at an initial rate of 0.90% through June 30, 2009.  The Series 2009B bonds bear interest at an initial rate of 1.25% through September 30, 2009.  The Series 2009C bonds are in a weekly interest rate mode, bearing interest at 0.30% at June 30, 2009.
 
In connection with the issuance of each series of bonds by the PEDFA, PPL Energy Supply entered into separate loan agreements with the PEDFA pursuant to which the PEDFA loaned to PPL Energy Supply the proceeds of the Series 2009A, Series 2009B and Series 2009C bonds on payment terms that correspond to those of the bonds.  PPL Energy Supply issued separate promissory notes to the PEDFA to evidence its obligations under each of the loan agreements.  These loan agreements and promissory notes replaced those associated with the refunded 2007 and 2008 PEDFA bonds in a non-cash transaction that is excluded from the Statement of Cash Flows.
 
Concurrent with the issuance of each series of bonds, separate letters of credit, totaling $237 million, were issued under PPL Energy Supply's $3.2 billion five-year syndicated credit facility to the trustee in support of each series of bonds.  The letters of credit permit the trustee to draw amounts to pay principal of and interest on, and the purchase price of, the Series 2009A, Series 2009B and Series 2009C bonds when due.  PPL Energy Supply is required to reimburse any draws on the letters of credit within one business day of such draw.
 
PPL Energy Supply elected to change the interest rate mode on the Series 2009A bonds to a commercial paper rate mode upon expiration of the initial rate period.  As such, in July 2009, the Series 2009A bonds were remarketed in a commercial paper rate mode and bear interest at 0.90% through December 9, 2009, at which time the bonds will be remarketed based upon an interest rate mode elected by PPL Energy Supply.  In connection with this change, the letter of credit supporting the Series 2009A bonds was modified accordingly.
 
(PPL and PPL Electric)
 
In May 2009, PPL Electric issued $300 million of 6.25% First Mortgage Bonds due 2039 (6.25% Bonds).  The 6.25% Bonds may be redeemed any time prior to maturity at PPL Electric's option at make-whole redemption prices.  PPL Electric received proceeds of $296 million, net of a discount and underwriting fees, from the issuance of the 6.25% Bonds.  Approximately $86 million of the proceeds will be used to partially fund the repayment at maturity of $486 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of PPL Electric's Senior Secured Bonds, 6-1/4% Series, due August 2009.  The balance of such repayment will be funded from the issuance in October 2008 of $400 million of 7.125% Senior Secured Bonds due 2013.  The balance of the proceeds from the issuance of the 6.25% Bonds is being used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.
 
In June 2009, PPL Electric repaid its $9 million obligation under a Variable Rate Pollution Control Facilities Note in connection with the early redemption in full of the underlying pollution control revenue bonds that were issued by the Indiana County Industrial Development Authority and due in June 2027.
 
Distributions and Capital Contributions
 
(PPL)
 
In February 2009, PPL announced an increase to its quarterly common stock dividend, effective April 1, 2009, to 34.5 cents per share (equivalent to $1.38 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 Energy Supply)
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, PPL Energy Supply distributed $373 million to its parent company, PPL Energy Funding.
 
(PPL Electric)
 
During the six months ended June 30, 2009, PPL Electric paid common stock dividends of $148 million to PPL.
 
 
(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
PPL and its subsidiaries continuously evaluate strategic options 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.

License Renewals
 
In 2006, PPL Susquehanna applied to the NRC for 20-year license renewals for each of the Susquehanna units to extend their expiration dates to 2042 for Unit 1 and to 2044 for Unit 2.  A final decision on the license renewal is expected to be issued in December 2009.  Through June 30, 2009, PPL and PPL Energy Supply capitalized $16 million of license renewal costs, which are included in "Other intangibles" within "Other Noncurrent Assets" on the Balance Sheets.
 
Development
 
In April 2009, PPL announced that it filed a new application with the FERC for approval to expand the capacity of its Holtwood hydroelectric plant by 125 MW.  The previous application had been withdrawn in December 2008 due to economic conditions at the time.  PPL reconsidered this project in light of the availability of tax incentives and potential federal loan guarantees under the Economic Stimulus Package.  The expansion project has an expected capital cost of approximately $440 million.  PPL could begin construction in 2010, with generation operations scheduled to start in 2013.  PPL's ability and decision whether to proceed with the Holtwood facility expansion is subject to government approvals in addition to the FERC license amendment, the availability of certain federal economic stimulus incentives, as well as negotiation of acceptable construction and other related contracts.  PPL cannot predict whether the Holtwood facility expansion will ultimately proceed to completion.  In July 2009, a PPL subsidiary submitted an application to the DOE for a federal loan guarantee for the Holtwood expansion project.
 
In March 2009, PPL Montana received FERC approval for its request to redevelop the Rainbow hydroelectric facility, near Great Falls, Montana, for a total plant capacity of 60 MW (representing an increase of 28 MW).  The redevelopment project has an expected capital cost of $230 million.  In July 2009, a PPL subsidiary submitted an application to the DOE for a federal loan guarantee for the Rainbow redevelopment project.
 
In January 2008, PPL Susquehanna received NRC approval for its request to increase the generation capacity of the Susquehanna nuclear plant.  The total expected capacity increase is 159 MW, of which PPL Susquehanna's 90% ownership share is 143 MW.  The first uprate for Unit 1 totaling 50 MW was completed in May 2008.  The second uprate for Unit 1 will be completed in 2010.  The first uprate for Unit 2 totaling 60 MW was completed in 2009 and the second uprate will be completed in 2011.  PPL Susquehanna's share of the remaining total increase is 44 MW.  PPL Susquehanna's share of the expected capital cost for all these uprates is $345 million.
 
In October 2008, PPL submitted a COLA to the NRC for the proposed Bell Bend nuclear generating unit (Bell Bend) to be built adjacent to PPL's Susquehanna plant.  The COLA was formally docketed and accepted for review by the NRC in December 2008.  The NRC is now reviewing the COLA and issuing numerous and detailed requests for additional information that Bell Bend must respond to on a strict timetable.  In May 2009, the NRC published its official review schedule that culminates with the issuance of Bell Bend's final safety evaluation report in March 2012, after which public hearings will be held that are expected to take up to a year before Bell Bend's license can be issued.
 
In September 2008, a PPL subsidiary submitted Part I of an application to the DOE for a federal loan guarantee for Bell Bend.  The subsidiary submitted Part II of the loan guarantee application in December 2008.  There is considerable uncertainty about the likelihood of DOE financial support for the project due to the current level of appropriations available to the DOE for this purpose ($18.5 billion appropriated by the U.S. Congress at June 30, 2009) and the number of projects competing for those resources.  In June 2009, the DOE announced that it is working to finalize loan guarantees with four applicants, none of which was the PPL subsidiary.  None of the ten applicants who submitted Part II applications have been formally eliminated by the DOE; however, the DOE noted that the available funds would not likely be enough for more than four applicants.
 
PPL's subsidiary submits quarterly application updates for Bell Bend to the DOE in order to remain active in the process.  PPL cannot predict whether additional appropriations will be made for the DOE loan guarantee program, which proposed nuclear projects will ultimately be granted DOE loan guarantees, or the specific impact of these and other factors on the potential construction of the Bell Bend project.
 
PPL has made no decision to proceed with construction of Bell Bend and expects that such decision will not be made for several years given the anticipated lengthy NRC license approval process.  Additionally, PPL has announced that it does not expect to proceed to construction absent a joint arrangement with other interested parties and without a federal loan guarantee or other acceptable financing structures.  PPL and its subsidiaries are currently authorized by PPL's Board of Directors to spend up to $90 million on the COLA and other permits necessary for construction.  Through June 30, 2009, $65 million of costs associated with the licensing effort were capitalized and are included in "Other intangibles" within "Other Noncurrent Assets" on the Balance Sheets.
 
Discontinued Operations
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
Anticipated Sale of Long Island Generation Business
 
As a result of management's ongoing strategic review of PPL's non-core asset portfolio, in May 2009, PPL Generation signed a definitive agreement to sell its Long Island generation business for approximately $135 million in cash, adjusted for working capital at the sale date and subject to reduction monthly if the sale does not close by September 1, 2009.  This business includes a 79.9 MW gas-fired plant in the Edgewood section of Brentwood, New York and a 79.9 MW oil-fired plant in Shoreham, New York.  The Long Island Power Authority has contracted with PPL Energy Supply subsidiaries to purchase all of the Long Island generation business' capacity and ancillary services as part of tolling agreements that expire in 2017 and 2018.  Each agreement is considered to contain a lease for accounting purposes.  The Shoreham plant lease is classified as a direct-financing lease and the Edgewood plant lease is classified as an operating lease.  These tolling agreements will be transferred to the new owner upon completion of the sale.
 
The Long Island generation business met the held for sale criteria in the second quarter of 2009.  As a result, net assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $189 million were written down to their estimated fair value less cost to sell of $137 million at June 30, 2009, resulting in a pre-tax impairment charge of $52 million ($34 million after tax).  This charge, recorded in the Supply segment for PPL and PPL Energy Supply, is included in "Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations (net of income taxes)" on the Statements of Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  Closing of the sale is subject to the receipt of various state and federal regulatory approvals and third-party consents, and is expected to occur later in 2009.
 
The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been classified as Discontinued Operations on the Statements of Income.  The assets and liabilities at June 30, 2009 are classified on the Balance Sheet as held for sale.

In 2004, PPL Maine entered into an agreement with a coalition of government agencies and private groups to sell three of its nine hydroelectric dams in Maine.  Under the agreement, a non-profit organization designated by the coalition received a five-year option to purchase the dams for $25 million, and if the option was exercised PPL Maine would receive rights to increase energy output at its other Maine hydroelectric dams.  The coalition has announced plans to remove or bypass the dams subject to the agreement in order to restore runs of Atlantic salmon and other migratory fish to the Penobscot River.  In June 2008, the coalition notified PPL Maine of its intent to exercise the purchase option.  The agreement requires updates to the representations and warranties in the purchase and sale agreement, and several approvals by the FERC and other regulatory agencies.  In November 2008, PPL Maine and the coalition filed a request with FERC, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Maine DEP to approve the transfer of ownership for the three dams.  Certain of these required regulatory approvals have been obtained, but PPL cannot predict whether or when all of them will be obtained.  As a result, these three Maine hydroelectric dams had not met the held for sale criteria at June 30, 2009.
 
In July 2009, indirectly related to the above potential sale and as a result of management's ongoing strategic review of PPL's non-core asset portfolio, PPL Maine signed a definitive agreement to sell the majority of its hydroelectric generation business for approximately $95 million in cash.  The portion of the business being sold includes five hydroelectric facilities and PPL's 50% equity interest in the owner of a sixth hydroelectric facility, which has been accounted for as an equity investment, as well as the rights to increase energy output at these facilities if the potential sale discussed above is completed.  PPL's interest in these six facilities represents a total of 30 MW of electric generating capacity.  Of the sales price, $14 million is contingent consideration that would be realized upon completion of the potential sale of PPL Maine's three other hydroelectric facilities noted above.  PPL expects the sale of the majority of the Maine generation business to close in 2009 and expects to record a gain on the transaction.
 
These Maine hydroelectric facilities met the held for sale criteria in the second quarter and at June 30, 2009 are classified on the Balance Sheet as held for sale.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 have been classified as Discontinued Operations on the Statements of Income and are included in the Supply segment for PPL and PPL Energy Supply.  An insignificant amount of interest expense was allocated based upon debt attributable to the Maine hydroelectric generation business being sold.

Energy Purchases, Energy Sales and Other Commitments
 
Energy Purchase Commitments
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into long-term purchase contracts to supply the fuel requirements for generation facilities.  These contracts include commitments to purchase coal, emission allowances, limestone, natural gas, oil and nuclear fuel and extend through 2019.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply also enter into long-term contracts for the storage and transportation of natural gas.  The long-term natural gas storage contracts extend through 2012, and the long-term natural gas transportation contracts extend through 2032.  Additionally, PPL and PPL Energy Supply have entered into long-term contracts to purchase power that extend through 2017, excluding long-term power purchase agreements for the full output of two wind farms.  These wind farm contracts extend through 2027.
 
(PPL and PPL Electric)
 
In 2007, PPL Electric began to conduct competitive solicitations to purchase electricity generation supply in 2010, after its existing PLR contract expires, for customers who do not choose a competitive supplier.  A total of six auctions were planned.  Each solicitation is for 850 MW of expected generation supply.  Average generation supply prices (per MWh), including Pennsylvania gross receipts tax and an adjustment for line losses, for the first five solicitations are as follows:

The fifth competitive solicitation occurred in March 2009 and was approved by the PUC in April 2009.  The sixth competitive solicitation is scheduled for October 2009.
 
In August 2008, PPL Electric filed a request with the PUC to approve its plan to purchase the PLR electricity supply that PPL Electric will need for January 2011 through May 2014.  Under the plan, PPL Electric proposed to buy this electricity four times a year, beginning in the third quarter of 2009, for 12- and 24- month periods.  PPL Electric also would seek bids from other companies to manage its hourly purchases in the competitive electricity market.  For residential and small-business customers, 90% of the supply would be acquired through fixed-price contracts of 12 or 24 months, and 10% through hourly purchases in the open market.  All of the power for large commercial and industrial customers would be purchased on an hourly basis in the open market.  An independent third party would administer the process of securing power supply contracts and, with PUC oversight, select the suppliers that would provide generation supply at the lowest cost to PPL Electric's customers.
 
In November 2008, PPL Electric proposed several amendments to its plan to reflect passage of Pennsylvania Act 129 (Act 129).  Act 129, among other things, adopts new PLR electricity supply procurement rules.  PPL Electric added provisions to purchase 5% of its default service supply through five-year contracts and an additional 5% through ten-year contracts.  It reduced the term of its plan by one year, proposing that the plan end in May 2013, rather than in May 2014.  Finally, PPL Electric provided support for several findings that the PUC was required to make under Act 129.  In June 2009, PPL Electric received approval from the PUC on its purchase plan.

PPL Montana Hydroelectric License Commitments (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
PPL Montana owns and operates 11 hydroelectric facilities and one storage reservoir licensed by the FERC under long-term licenses pursuant to the Federal Power Act.  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 (50-year term) 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 its Kerr Dam from Montana Power, to continue to implement a plan to mitigate the impact of the Kerr Dam on fish, wildlife and their habitat.  Under this arrangement, PPL Montana has a remaining commitment to spend $12 million between 2009 and 2015, in addition to the annual rent 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, which expires in 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 are periodically updated and renewed and require PPL Montana to implement plans to mitigate the impact of its projects on fish, wildlife and their habitat, and to increase recreational opportunities.  The MOUs were created to maximize collaboration between the parties and enhance the possibility to receive matching funds from relevant federal agencies.  Under these arrangements, PPL Montana has a remaining commitment to spend $37 million between 2009 and 2040.

Montana Power Shareholders' Litigation
 
In August 2001, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed by a group of Montana Power shareholders 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 failed to obtain shareholder approval for the sale of Montana Power's generation assets to PPL Montana in 1999, and that the sale "was null and void ab initio."  Among the remedies sought by the plaintiffs 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 is pending in the U.S. District Court of Montana, Butte Division, and the judge 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 not established a schedule to resume the proceeding.  Settlement discussions resumed in June 2009.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
 
Montana Hydroelectric Litigation
 
In November 2004, PPL Montana, Avista Corporation (Avista) 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 hydroelectric facilities' use and occupancy of streambeds in Montana can be collected by the State of Montana.  This request 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 beds of Montana's navigable rivers became state-owned trust property upon Montana's admission to statehood, and that the use of them for placement of dam structures, affiliated structures and reservoirs should, under a 1931 regulatory scheme enacted after all but one of the dams in question were constructed, trigger lease payments for use of land beneath.  In July 2006, the Montana state court approved a stipulation by the State of Montana that it is not seeking lease payments or other compensation from PPL Montana for the period prior to PPL Montana's acquisition of the hydroelectric facilities in December 1999.
 
In June and October 2007, Pacificorp and Avista, respectively, entered into settlement agreements with the State of Montana providing, in pertinent part, that each company would make prospective lease payments of $50,000 and $4 million per year for use of the State's navigable streambed (adjusted annually for inflation and subject to other future adjustments).  Under these settlement agreements, the future annual payments resolved the State's claims for both past and future compensation.
 
In the October 2007 trial of this matter, the State of Montana asserted that PPL Montana should make a prospective lease payment for use of the State's streambeds of $6 million per year (adjusted annually for inflation) and a retroactive payment of compensation for the 2000-2006 period (including interest) of $41 million.  PPL Montana vigorously contested both such assertions.
 
In June 2008, the District Court issued a decision awarding compensation of approximately $34 million for prior years and approximately $6 million for 2007 compensation.  The Court also deferred the determination of compensation for 2008 and future years to the Montana State Land Board.
 
PPL Montana believes that the District Court's decision and a number of its pretrial rulings are erroneous.  In October 2008, PPL Montana filed an appeal of the decision to the Montana Supreme Court and a stay of judgment, including a stay of the Land Board's authority to assess compensation against PPL Montana for 2008 and future periods.  Oral argument of the case before the Montana Supreme Court is scheduled for September 2009.  PPL Montana cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
 
PPL Montana believes it is reasonably possible that a liability for prior use and occupancy of certain Montana streambeds may ultimately be incurred for the periods 2000 through 2006, and the amount awarded by the District Court represents the maximum exposure.  PPL Montana has not recorded a loss accrual for this portion of the State's claim.
 
For 2007 and subsequent years, PPL Montana believes it is probable that its hydroelectric projects will be subject to annual estimated compensation ranging from $300,000 to $6 million.  Given that there was no single amount within that range more likely than any other, PPL Montana is annually accruing $300,000.
 
PPL Montana will continue to assess the loss exposure for the Montana hydroelectric litigation in future periods.
 
Regulatory Issues
 
Pennsylvania Activities (PPL and PPL Electric)
 
In May 2007, the PUC approved final regulations regarding the obligation of Pennsylvania electric utilities to provide default electricity supply in 2011 and beyond.  The 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 electricity supply costs.  The final regulations became effective in September 2007.  See "Energy Purchase Commitments" for details of PPL Electric's competitive solicitations under the PUC regulations.
 
For several years, PPL and PPL Electric have been working with Pennsylvania legislators, regulators and other stakeholders to develop constructive measures to help customers transition to market rates after 2009, including a variety of rate mitigation, educational and energy conservation programs, consistent with several initiatives being developed by the State Administration and legislature.  In this regard, in November 2007, PPL Electric requested the PUC to approve a plan under which its residential and small commercial customers could phase-in the impact of price increases when generation rate caps expire in 2010.  Under the phase-in plan approved by the PUC and implemented in October 2008, customers can pay additional amounts with their electric bills beginning in mid-2008 and continuing through 2009, and such additional amounts, plus accrued interest of 6%, will be applied to their 2010 and 2011 electric bills, mitigating the impact of the rate cap expiration.  The phase-in plan is available on an "opt-in" basis (i.e., customers must affirmatively enroll) and is available to customers enrolled in budget billing.  Over 140,000 customers enrolled in the program.  Customers can continue to enroll in this program through the end of 2009.  At June 30, 2009, PPL Electric has recorded a liability of $21 million related to this activity.
 
In February 2009, PPL Electric asked the PUC for permission to offer customers a second option for reducing the potential initial impact of higher electricity prices resulting from expiration of generation rate caps.  This option will enable eligible residential and eligible small-business customers to defer payment of any increase greater than 25% in their 2010 electric bills.  The 25% will be calculated on an average rate schedule usage basis, and will be based on a comparison of currently estimated 2009 bills to currently estimated 2010 bills.  Deferred amounts, plus interest of 6%, would be repaid by customers over a one- or two-year period, depending on their level of electricity use.  All deferrals would be repaid by the end of 2012.  Like the phase-in plan, the deferral option will be available on an "opt-in" basis.  In July 2009, the PUC approved the deferral option.  Customers may enroll in the program until December 15, 2009.
 
Also, the General Assembly passed and the Governor signed into law Act 129 in October 2008.  The law creates an energy efficiency and conservation program and smart metering technology requirements, adopts new PLR electricity supply procurement rules, provides remedies for market misconduct, and makes changes to the existing Alternative Energy Portfolio Standard.
 
Under Act 129, Electric Distribution Companies (EDCs) must develop and file an energy efficiency and conservation plan with the PUC.  EDCs must contract with a conservation service provider to implement all or a portion of the plan.  Act 129 requires reduction in consumption of 1% by 2011 and 3% by 2013, and a reduction in peak demand of 4.5% by 2013.  EDCs will be able to recover the costs of implementing an energy efficiency and conservation plan.  These costs are capped at 2% of the EDC's 2006 revenue.
 
Act 129 also requires installation of smart meters under the following conditions:  for new construction, upon the request of consumers at their cost, or on a depreciation schedule not exceeding 15 years.  PPL Electric's current advanced metering technology generally meets the definition of smart metering technology in Act 129 and does not need to be replaced.  Under Act 129, EDCs will be able to recover the costs of providing smart metering technology.
 
Act 129 also requires the default service provider (DSP) to provide electric generation supply service to customers pursuant to a PUC-approved competitive procurement plan through auctions, requests for proposal and bilateral contracts at the sole discretion of the DSP.  Act 129 requires a mix of spot market purchases, short-term contracts and long-term contracts (4 to 20 years, with long-term contracts limited to up to 25% of the load unless otherwise approved by the PUC).  The DSP will be able to recover the costs associated with a competitive procurement plan.
 
Under Act 129, the DSP competitive procurement plan must ensure adequate and reliable service "at least cost to customers" over time.  Act 129 also grants the PUC authority to extend long-term power contracts up to 20 years, if necessary, to achieve the "least cost" standard.
 
Act 129 does not address rate mitigation.  Legislation has been introduced that would allow eligible customers to defer payment of certain increases at the time that rate caps expire and allow the EDC to recover these deferred amounts following the expiration of rate caps.  There are several bills that address such a phase-in.  The provisions of the bills differ as to the permitted level of increases in customer bills (ranging from 0% to 25%) and the inclusion of language specifically authorizing the EDC to recover associated carrying costs.  PPL and PPL Electric have expressed strong concern regarding the potential adverse consequences of some of these measures on the financial health and credit quality of PPL Electric.
 
In July 2009, PPL Electric filed its proposed energy efficiency and conservation (EE&C) Plan with the PUC.  PPL Electric's EE&C Plan includes 14 programs.  All programs are voluntary for customers.  As required by Act 129, at least one conservation program and one peak demand reduction program will be available for each customer class.  The filing also includes a proposed rate mechanism for recovery of all costs incurred by PPL Electric to implement its EE&C Plan.  Act 129 requires the PUC to act on each EE&C Plan within 120 days of submission, which in PPL Electric's case will be November 1, 2009.  PPL Electric cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
 
Certain Pennsylvania legislators have introduced legislation to extend generation rate caps or otherwise limit cost recovery through rates for Pennsylvania utilities beyond their transition periods, which in PPL Electric's case would be December 31, 2009.  PPL and PPL Electric have expressed strong concern regarding the severe potential consequences of such legislation on customer service, system reliability, adequate future generation supply and PPL Electric's financial viability.  If such legislation or similar legislation were ultimately enacted, PPL Electric could experience substantial operating losses, cash flow shortfalls and other adverse financial impacts.  In addition, continuing uncertainty concerning PPL Electric's ability to recover its market supply and other costs of operation after 2009 could adversely impact its credit quality, financing costs and availability of credit facilities necessary to operate its business.  PPL and PPL Electric believe that such an extension of rate caps, if enacted into law, would violate federal law and the U.S. Constitution.  At this time, PPL and PPL Electric cannot predict the final outcome or impact of this legislative and regulatory process.
 
FERC Transmission Rates (PPL and PPL Electric)
 
In August 2008, PPL Electric asked the FERC to change the method for calculating its transmission rates to formula-based rates to support continued investment in its transmission system.  Under formula-based rates, a fixed earnings level is set for the utility, and the utility annually adjusts its transmission rates, subject to FERC review, to reflect changes in costs.  The process offers an opportunity for public input.  The proposed rate design would ensure that there is no over-recovery or under-recovery of the actual costs of providing transmission delivery service.  The rate change request, if approved, would result in a monthly increase of $0.74 for an average PPL Electric residential customer.  This request would not affect generation charges or distribution rates.  PPL Electric requested that the proposed rate take effect November 1, 2008.
 
In October 2008, the FERC accepted the proposed rate for filing, effective November 1, 2008, subject to refund.  The FERC did not adjust the requested return on equity of 12.84%, which included 50 basis points for membership in PJM.  Finally, the FERC set the matter for hearing, but held the hearings in abeyance to provide time to establish settlement judge procedures.  In May 2009, a settlement was reached by all of the parties to the proceeding and PPL Electric was granted approval to implement the formula rate as filed in the settlement, effective June 1, 2009, until final resolution of the proceeding.  Rates under this element were permitted to go into effect on June 1, 2009, subject to final FERC approval.  PPL Electric cannot predict the outcome of this matter.  See Note 2 for information on a true-up of these revenues.
 
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 October 2000 through June 2001, of which $17 million has not been paid to PPL subsidiaries.  Given the myriad of electricity supply problems faced by the California electric utilities and the California ISO, PPL cannot predict whether or when it will receive payment.  At June 30, 2009, PPL continues to be fully reserved for non-payment 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.  In February 2008, the FERC initiated proceedings to determine whether it would be appropriate to grant additional refunds.  The FERC also instituted settlement proceedings to explore whether a settlement is possible.
 
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.  In August 2007, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit reversed the FERC's decision and ordered the FERC to consider additional evidence.  The FERC also commenced additional investigations relating to "gaming" and bidding practices during 2000 and 2001, but neither PPL EnergyPlus nor PPL Montana believes it is a subject of these investigations.
 
In February 2004, the Montana Public Service Commission 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 RPM Litigation (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
In May 2008, a group of state public utility commissions, state consumer advocates, municipal entities and electric cooperatives, industrial end-use customers and a single electric distribution company (collectively, the RPM Buyers) filed a complaint before the FERC objecting to the prices for capacity under the PJM Reliability Pricing Model (RPM) that were set in the 2008-09, 2009-10 and 2010-11 RPM base residual auctions.  The RPM Buyers requested that the FERC reset the rates paid to generators for capacity in those periods to a significantly lower level.  Thus, the complaint requests that generators be paid less for those periods through refunds and/or prospective changes in rates.  The relief requested in the complaint, if granted, could have a material effect on PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric.  PJM, PPL and numerous other parties have responded to the complaint, strongly opposing the relief sought by the RPM Buyers.  In September 2008, the FERC entered an order denying the complaint.  PPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
 
In December 2008, the PJM submitted amendments to certain provisions governing its RPM capacity market.  The amendments were intended to permit the compensation available to suppliers that provide capacity, like PPL Energy Supply, to increase.  The PJM sought approval of the amendments in time for them to be implemented for the May 2009 capacity auction (for service in June 2012 through May 2013).  Numerous parties, including PPL, protested the PJM's filing.  Certain of the protesting parties proposed changes to the capacity market auction that would result in a reduction in compensation to capacity suppliers.  The changes proposed by the PJM and by other parties in response to the PJM proposals could significantly affect the compensation available to suppliers of capacity participating in future RPM auctions.  In April 2009, the FERC entered an order approving in part and disapproving in part the changes proposed by PJM.  The FERC's order is subject to timely rehearing petitions and appeals.  Rights to appeal this decision expire during August 2009.  PPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
 
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.  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 its 2006 order.  Subsequently, various parties in this proceeding filed appeals of the order with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit.  In September 2007, a party also filed a complaint with the FERC seeking additional refunds in the event that the U.S. Court of Appeals overturns or reverses the FERC order.  In June 2009, the U.S. Court of Appeals denied the appeal.  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.
 
In January 2008, pursuant to the schedule established by FERC orders, PPL's subsidiaries made another market-based rate renewal filing for all Eastern subsidiaries in the PJM, New England and New York regions, including PPL Electric, PPL EnergyPlus and most of PPL Generation's subsidiaries.  In October 2008, the FERC renewed these subsidiaries' market-based rate authority as requested.
 
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 that 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.  In June 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court reversed one of the decisions of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, thus upholding the higher standard of review for modifying contracts.  The FERC has not yet taken action in response to these recent court decisions.  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.
 
IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
PPL, through its subsidiaries, had interests in two synthetic fuel production facilities:  the Somerset facility, which was located in Pennsylvania, and the Tyrone facility, which was located in Kentucky.  PPL received tax credits pursuant to Section 29/45K of the Internal Revenue Code based on the sale of synthetic fuel from these facilities.  The Section 29/45K tax credit program expired at the end of 2007, and production of synthetic fuel at these facilities and all other synthetic fuel operations ceased as of December 31, 2007.  The facilities were dismantled and retired in 2008.
 
In April 2008, the IRS published the domestic first purchase price (DFPP) for the prior year indicating that the DFPP reference price increased above PPL's estimated price levels for 2007 and the inflation-adjusted phase-out range decreased from PPL's estimate for 2007.  Therefore, PPL recorded an expense of $13 million ($0.04 per share, basic and diluted, for PPL) in the first quarter of 2008, to "Income Taxes" on the Statement of Income to account for this difference.
 
Energy Policy Act of 2005 - Reliability Standards (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
In August 2005, the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the 2005 Energy Act) was signed into law.  The 2005 Energy Act is comprehensive legislation that substantially affects the regulation of energy companies, amends federal energy laws and provides the FERC with new oversight responsibilities.  Among the important changes implemented under this legislation is the appointment of the NERC to establish and enforce mandatory reliability standards (Reliability Standards) regarding the bulk power system.  The FERC will oversee this process and independently enforce the Reliability Standards.
 
The Reliability Standards have the force and effect of law and apply to certain users of the bulk power electricity system, including electric utility companies, generators and marketers.  The FERC has indicated it intends to enforce vigorously the Reliability Standards using, among other means, civil penalty authority.  Under the Federal Power Act, the FERC may assess civil penalties of up to $1 million per day, per violation, for certain violations.  The first group of Reliability Standards approved by the FERC became effective in June 2007.
 
In September 2007, PPL Electric self-reported to the RFC that PPL Electric had identified a potential violation of certain reliability requirements and submitted an accompanying mitigation plan.  In February 2008, the RFC notified PPL Electric that it had completed its investigation, accepted PPL Electric's mitigation plan and issued a Notice of Alleged Violation.  In September 2008, the RFC issued its Notice of Confirmed Violation concerning this matter.  Any RFC determination remains subject to the approval of the NERC and the FERC.  At this time, PPL Electric cannot predict the outcome of this matter.
 
In the course of implementing its program to ensure compliance with the Reliability Standards by those PPL affiliates subject to the standards, PPL anticipates that certain other instances of potential non-compliance may be identified from time to time.  PPL cannot predict the fines or penalties that may be imposed.
 
U.K. Overhead Electricity Networks (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
In 2002 and for safety reasons, the U.K. Government issued guidance that low voltage overhead electricity networks within three meters horizontal clearance of a building should either be insulated or relocated.  This imposed a retroactive requirement on existing assets that were built with lower clearances.  In 2008, following extensive discussion, the U.K. Government determined that the U.K. electricity network should comply with the guidance issued.  WPD estimates that the cost of compliance will be approximately $91 million and is expected to be allowed to be recovered through rates.  The Government has determined that WPD (South Wales) should comply by 2015 and WPD (South West) by 2018.
 
To improve network reliability, in January 2009 the U.K. Government enforced a regulation requiring network operators to implement a risk-based program over 25 years to clear trees within falling distance of key high-voltage overhead lines. WPD estimates that the cost of compliance will be approximately $105 million over the 25-year period and is expected to be allowed to be recovered through rates.
 
U.K. Electricity Regulation (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
WPD operates under distribution licenses granted, and price controls set, by the Ofgem.  The price control formula that governs WPD's allowed revenue is normally determined every five years, with the next distribution price control review (DPCR) to be completed by the end of 2009, effective April 1, 2010.  An initial proposals paper has been issued by the Ofgem.  Earnings in 2010 and beyond may be affected by the DPCR.  WPD cannot predict the ultimate outcome of the DPCR.
 
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, curtail, 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 emissions causing acid deposition, attainment of federal ambient air quality standards and toxic air emissions and visibility standards in the U.S.  Amendments to the Clean Air Act requiring additional emission reductions are likely to continue to be proposed in the U.S. Congress.  The Clean Air Act allows states to develop more stringent regulations and in some instances, as discussed below, Pennsylvania and Montana have chosen to do so.
 
Clean Air Interstate Rule (CAIR)
 
Citing its authority under the Clean Air Act, in 1997, the EPA developed new standards for ambient levels of ozone and fine particulates in the U.S.  To facilitate attainment of these standards, the EPA promulgated the 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 nitrogen oxides emissions to a year-round program starting in 2009.  Starting in 2015, the CAIR requires further reductions in the CAIR region, in sulfur dioxide of 30% from 2010 levels, and nitrogen oxides during the ozone season of 17% from 2009 levels.  The CAIR allowed these reductions to be achieved through cap-and-trade programs.
 
In July 2008, the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit (the U.S. Circuit Court) issued a ruling that invalidated CAIR in its entirety, including its cap-and-trade program.  The U.S. Circuit Court did not overturn the previously existing cap-and-trade program for sulfur dioxide reductions under the acid rain program or the previously existing cap-and-trade program for reductions in nitrogen oxides during the ozone season.
 
In December 2008, the U.S. Circuit Court remanded CAIR back to the EPA without vacating the cap-and-trade program, effectively reinstating, at least temporarily, CAIR and its requirements for annual-reduction for nitrogen oxides beginning in 2009 and for further reduction in sulfur dioxide by requiring the surrender of two acid rain allowances for every ton of sulfur dioxide emitted beginning in 2010.
 
PPL expects to meet the annual nitrogen oxide reductions required by CAIR in 2009.  However, the ultimate disposition of CAIR's cap-and-trade program and the value of annual nitrogen oxide allowances as well as sulfur dioxide allowances, remain uncertain.  If the EPA revises CAIR to require more stringent emission reductions or revises CAIR to eliminate the regional cap-and-trade program, the costs of compliance are not now determinable, but could be significant.
 
In 2006, the EPA revised the ambient air quality standard for fine particulates and in 2008 the EPA tightened the ambient air quality standard for ozone.  These more stringent standards could result in requirements to reduce emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxides beyond those required under the CAIR.  If additional reductions were to be required, the costs are not now determinable, but could be significant.  In addition, the EPA is expected to propose this year and finalize next year a new one hour ambient air quality standard for nitrogen dioxide.  The level of the standard and the effects on PPL power plants are not yet determinable.
 
To continue meeting the sulfur dioxide reduction requirements under the acid rain provisions of the Clean Air Act, and the reductions required by CAIR (remanded by the U.S. Circuit Court, but currently in place), PPL has installed scrubbers at its Montour plant that are now in service.  PPL is continuing with installation of scrubbers at its Brunner Island plant.  The Unit 3 scrubber was placed in-service in the second quarter of 2009, and the scrubber for Units 1 and 2 is scheduled to be placed in-service in late fall of 2009.  In addition, with respect to compliance with annual and ozone season nitrogen oxide reduction requirements, PPL's plan is to operate the SCRs at Montour Units 1 and 2, to utilize the existing combustion controls and to purchase any needed emission allowances on the open market.
 
Mercury
 
Also citing its authority under the Clean Air Act, in May 2005, the EPA issued the Clean Air Mercury Regulations (CAMR) that affect coal-fired plants.  These regulations established 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 requirements to begin in January 2018.  However, in February 2008, the U.S. Circuit Court overturned the EPA's rule.  Under this decision, the EPA must either properly remove mercury from regulation under the hazardous air pollutant provisions of the Clean Air Act or develop standards imposing MACT for electric generating units.  In January 2009, the EPA stated that it will proceed with developing MACT standards for mercury emissions from electric generating units.  The costs of complying with such standards are not now determinable, but could be significant.
 
Pennsylvania adopted mercury rules more stringent than CAMR.  Pennsylvania's rules establish mercury emission limits for each coal-fired generating facility beginning in 2010, and require that mercury emission allowances under the EPA's cap-and-trade program under CAMR be met at each unit without the benefit of an emissions trading program, and that tighter emission limits based on the second phase of the CAMR requirements be accelerated to begin in 2015.  In light of the U.S. Circuit Court decision overturning CAMR, in September 2008, PPL filed a complaint with the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court (Commonwealth Court) seeking to have the Pennsylvania mercury rule rescinded on the basis that it is unlawful, invalid and unenforceable under the provisions of the Pennsylvania Air Pollution Control Act.  In January 2009, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court ruled in PPL's favor.  The decision is on appeal to the Pennsylvania Supreme Court.  Pending final resolution of this matter, PPL is evaluating its mercury control plans and what steps it needs to take at this time.
 
If the Pennsylvania mercury rule is ultimately upheld, PPL may need to install chemical injection systems on its Brunner Island units to achieve the Phase 1 mercury reduction requirements.  PPL estimates that the capital cost of such chemical injection systems at Brunner Island will be approximately $40 million.  For Montour, PPL would need to operate the SCRs (already in place) year-round along with the scrubbers to achieve compliance with Phase 1.  There is, however, the possibility that these actions would not be sufficient to meet Pennsylvania's new mercury requirements, and additional injection systems could be required at an estimated cost of approximately $32 million.
 
To meet Pennsylvania's 2015 mercury requirements, if the rule is upheld, and/or any similarly stringent MACT rule adopted by the EPA, adsorption/absorption technology with fabric filters may be required at most of PPL's Pennsylvania coal-fired generating units.  Based on current analysis and industry estimates, PPL estimates that if this technology were required at every one of its Pennsylvania coal-fired generating units, the aggregate capital cost of compliance would be approximately $530 million.
 
Montana also has finalized mercury emission rules that require, by 2010, every coal-fired generating plant in that state to achieve reduction levels more stringent than the CAMR's 2018 requirements.  PPL is installing chemical injection systems to meet these requirements.  PPL estimates that its share of the capital cost for these systems in Montana will be approximately $15 million.  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 if this technology were required, its share of the capital cost to achieve compliance at its Montana units would be approximately $140 million.
 
Regional Haze and Visibility
 
In addition to the above rules, the Clean Air Visibility Rule was issued by the EPA in June 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.  Under the BART rule, PPL submitted to the Pennsylvania DEP its analyses of the visibility impacts of particulate matter emissions from Martins Creek Units 3 and 4, Brunner Island Units 2 and 3 and Montour Units 1 and 2.  The EPA had determined that meeting the requirements for CAIR also met the BART requirements for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen dioxide.  PPL's analyses have shown that because PPL had already upgraded its particulate emissions controls at Montour Units 1 and 2 and Brunner Island Unit 3, and was in the process of upgrading its particulate emissions controls on Brunner Island Unit 2 in 2009 (presently being installed), that further controls were not justified as there would be little corresponding visibility improvement.  PPL has not received comments from the Pennsylvania DEP on these submissions.
 
Also under the BART rule, PPL submitted to the EPA its analyses of the visibility impacts of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides and particulate matter emissions for Colstrip Units 1 and 2 and Corette.  PPL's analyses have shown that further reductions are not needed.  The EPA has responded to PPL's reports for Colstrip and Corette and requested further information and analysis.  PPL completed further analysis and submitted addendums to its initial reports for Colstrip and Corette.  In February 2009, PPL received an information request for additional data related to the Colstrip generating station non-BART affected emission sources.  PPL responded to this request in March 2009.  PPL has not received comments from the EPA on these submissions.
 
PPL cannot predict whether any additional reductions will be required in Pennsylvania or Montana.  If additional reductions are required, the costs are not now determinable, but could be significant.
 
New Source Review (NSR)
 
In 1999, the EPA initiated enforcement actions against several electric generators, asserting that older, coal-fired power plants operated by those generators have, over time, been modified in ways that increased their emissions and subjected them to more stringent NSR requirements under the Clean Air Act.  The EPA subsequently issued information requests and notices of violation, and commenced enforcement actions against other generators.  PPL received such information requests for its Colstrip, Corette and Martins Creek plants.  Although the EPA announced in 2005 that it would not bring new enforcement actions under these NSR rules, the Justice Department recently declared that it is now considering bringing such actions.  In April 2009, PPL received information requests for its Montour and Brunner Island plants.  PPL has met with the EPA regarding this matter.  PPL's response to the request is currently on hold pending evaluation by PPL and the EPA as to whether to engage in pre-litigation settlement discussions.  The EPA has sent PPL a proposed term sheet as a starting point for any such settlement discussions.  PPL is evaluating the feasibility and costs of achieving those terms.
 
In January 2009, PPL received a notice of violation from the EPA for projects undertaken at the Keystone plant at which PPL is part owner.  The EPA alleges that the projects were undertaken without proper NSR compliance.  PPL cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.
 
States and environmental groups also have brought enforcement actions alleging violations of the NSR regulations by coal-fired plants, and PPL is unable to predict whether such state or citizen enforcement actions will be brought with respect to any of PPL affiliates' plants.
 
If PPL's past activities are found to have violated the NSR regulations, then PPL must install best available control technology for any pollutant found to have significantly increased due to a major modification.  The costs to install and operate such technology are not now determinable, but could be significant.
 
Finally, if the EPA regulates carbon dioxide emissions pursuant to the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision on global climate change (as discussed below), carbon dioxide emissions could become subject to the NSR provisions of the Clean Air Act.  The implications are uncertain, as PPL is not aware of any permitting authorities having implemented the NSR regulations for carbon dioxide emissions.
 
Opacity
 
The New Jersey DEP and certain New Jersey residents have raised environmental concerns with respect to 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 studied the issue and as a result installed chemical injection systems to reduce visible emissions.  If it is determined that further 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
 
There is concern nationally and internationally about global climate change and the contribution of greenhouse gas emissions including, most significantly, carbon dioxide from the combustion of fossil fuels.  This concern has led to increased federal legislative proposals, actions at regional, state and local levels, as well as litigation relating to greenhouse gas emissions, including an April 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision holding that the EPA has the authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from new motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act.  As a result of this decision, in July 2008 the EPA issued an "Advance Notice of Proposed Rulemaking," proposing alternative approaches to regulate carbon dioxide emissions.  Upon taking office in January 2009, President Obama reaffirmed statements he made during the presidential campaign about his support for mandatory regulation of greenhouse gas emissions, including a cap-and-trade system.  The new Administrator of the EPA has indicated that the EPA is moving forward with regulation of greenhouse gas emissions under the Clean Air Act, though the exact form of such regulation remains unclear.  In April 2009, the EPA proposed a rule to require economy-wide reporting of greenhouse gas emissions and the EPA issued a proposed finding that greenhouse gases contribute to air pollution and may endanger public health or welfare.  Also, increased pressure for carbon dioxide emissions reduction is being initiated by investor and environmental organizations, and the international community.  The construction and operation of coal-fired power plants have received particularly intense scrutiny.
 
PPL believes future legislation and regulations that affect carbon dioxide emissions from power plants are likely, although technology to efficiently capture, remove and sequester carbon dioxide emissions is not presently available on a commercial scale.  In June 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009.  A key element affecting PPL includes a declining cap on carbon emissions beginning in 2012, which requires a three percent reduction in greenhouse gas emissions (below 2005 levels) by 2012, increasing to 17% by 2020, 42% by 2030 and 83% by 2050.  The legislation also would require that electric utilities meet a mandatory 20% renewable energy supply and energy efficiency requirement by 2020.  The Senate plans to begin to address climate change legislation in the fall.  Renewable electricity standards are currently included in a separate bill, S.1462, the American Clean Energy Leadership Act of 2009, which passed in the Senate Energy Committee in June 2009.  Under this bill, electric utilities would be required to meet a 15% standard through renewable sources of energy and energy efficiency by 2021.
 
PPL is currently evaluating H.R.2454 and S.1462.  PPL management believes there are financial, regulatory and logistical uncertainties related to implementing renewable energy mandates that will need to be resolved before the impact to PPL of implementing renewable energy legislation can be meaningfully estimated.  Such uncertainties, among others, relate to the need to provide back-up supply to augment intermittent renewable generation, potential generation oversupply that could result from such renewable generation and back-up, impacts to the PJM capacity market and the need for substantial changes to transmission and distribution systems to accommodate renewable energy, which challenges and uncertainties are not directly addressed by the proposed legislation.  Because of the uncertainties as to the final outcome of federal climate change and energy legislation and regulation, PPL cannot at this time predict the effect on its future competitive position, results of operation, cash flows and financial position, of any greenhouse gas emission, renewable energy mandate or other global climate change requirements that may be adopted, although the costs to implement and comply with any such requirements could be material.

At the regional level, ten northeastern states signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) agreeing to establish a greenhouse gas emission cap-and-trade program, called the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).  The program commenced in January 2009 and calls 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 base levels by 2019.
 
Pennsylvania has not stated an intention to join RGGI, but has enacted the Pennsylvania Climate Change Act of 2008 (Act).  That Act established a Climate Change Advisory Committee to advise the DEP on the development of a Climate Change Action Plan.  PPL is participating on that Advisory Committee.  Legislation has been introduced in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives that would, if enacted, significantly increase renewable and solar supply requirements.
 
In the Western U.S., 11 states, including Montana, and Canadian provinces are members of the Western Climate Initiative (WCI).  The WCI has established a goal of reducing carbon dioxide emissions 15% below the 2005 levels by 2020 and is currently developing greenhouse gas emission allocations, offsets, and reporting recommendations.
 
PPL has conducted an inventory of its carbon dioxide emissions and is continuing to evaluate options for reducing, avoiding, off-setting or sequestering its carbon dioxide emissions.  In 2008, PPL estimates that its power plants emitted approximately 28 million tons of carbon dioxide (based on PPL's equity share of these assets).
 
PPL believes that the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions may have a material impact on its future capital expenditures and operations, but the costs are not now determinable.  Furthermore, PPL believes that the imposition of mandatory renewable energy and energy efficiency requirements could have a material impact on PPL.
 
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 completed studies, in conjunction with a group of natural resource trustees and the Delaware River Basin Commission, evaluating the effects of the release on the river's sediment, water quality and ecosystem.
 
The Pennsylvania DEP filed a complaint in Pennsylvania 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 were granted the right, without objection from PPL, to intervene in the Pennsylvania DEP's action.  PPL and the Pennsylvania DEP have settled this matter.  The settlement required a payment of $1.5 million in penalties and reimbursement of the DEP's costs.  PPL made this payment in the second quarter of 2008.  The settlement also requires PPL to submit a report on the completed studies of possible natural resource damages.  PPL submitted the assessment report to the agencies in June 2007.  PPL met with the agencies in January 2009 to discuss the status of their natural resource damage assessment and their review of the June 2007 report.  In March 2009, the agencies provided some limited information on their projection of damages to the Delaware River resources from this release and cleanup.  PPL has requested that the agencies provide further details.  At this point, PPL is not certain whether the agencies will require additional studies, but PPL does expect the trustees and the Delaware River Basin Commission will seek to recover their costs and/or restoration costs for damages that they can demonstrate were caused by the release.
 
Through June 30, 2009, PPL Energy Supply spent $28 million for remediation and related costs and an immaterial remediation liability remained.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot be certain of the outcome of the natural resource damage assessment or associated costs, the outcome of any lawsuit brought by the citizens and businesses or 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 release.
 
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 currently plans to spend up to $50 million to upgrade and/or replace certain wastewater facilities in response to the seepages and for other facility changes.  The potential additional cost to address the identified seepages or other seepages 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 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 the first quarter of 2008, PPL Montana recorded an additional reserve of $7 million ($0.01 per share, basic and diluted, for PPL) to "Other operation and maintenance" on the Statement of Income.  In July 2008, the plaintiffs and the remaining owner-defendants remaining after dismissal of NorthWestern due to its bankruptcy executed a settlement agreement.  PPL Montana and the other remaining owner-defendants funded the settlement, concluding the matter.  PPL Montana's share of the settlement was approximately $8 million.  In June 2008, PPL Montana recorded an insignificant reserve for its share of potential additional settlements with three property owners living near the original plaintiffs but who were not parties to the lawsuit.  PPL Montana may incur additional costs related to the potential claims, including additional groundwater investigations and any related remedial measures, which are not now determinable, but could be significant.
 
In February 2007, six plaintiffs filed a separate lawsuit in the Montana Sixteenth Judicial District Court against the Colstrip plant owners asserting similar property damage claims as were asserted by the plaintiffs to the May 2003 complaint.  The lawsuit is in its initial stages of discovery and investigation, and PPL Montana is unable to predict the outcome of these proceedings.  PPL Montana has undertaken certain groundwater investigations and remediation at the Colstrip plant to address groundwater contamination alleged by the plaintiffs as well as other groundwater contamination at the plant.  PPL Montana may incur further costs based on the outcome of this lawsuit and its additional groundwater investigations and any related remedial measures, which are not now determinable, but could be significant.
 
Other Issues
 
In January 2006, the EPA significantly increased the drinking water standard related to arsenic.  The revised standard, 10 parts per billion (ppb), may result in individual states taking action that could require several PPL subsidiaries to further treat wastewater and/or take abatement action at their power plants.  In Pennsylvania, this arsenic standard has been incorporated into the state's water quality standards and could result in more stringent limits to PPL's NPDES permits for its Pennsylvania plants.  Recently, the EPA has developed a draft risk assessment of arsenic that increases the cancer risk exposure by more than 20 times, which would further lower the current standard of 10 ppb to 0.1 ppb.  If required, a change to this lower level would involve very expensive treatment and, at this time, there are no assurances that it could even be attained.
 
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 finalized in 2004 that addressed existing structures has been withdrawn following a January 2007 decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit.  In April 2008, the U.S. Supreme Court granted petitions for writs of certiorari filed by Utility Water Act Group, Public Service Enterprise Group, Inc. and Entergy Corporation, and subsequently ruled that the EPA has discretion to use cost-benefit analysis in determining the best technology available for minimizing adverse environmental impact.  It is expected that the EPA will incorporate this option in its revisions of the rule.  How the cost-benefit analysis will be employed, other issues raised by the Second Circuit Court (that were not reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court), and actions the states may take on their own, could result in stricter standards for existing structures that could impose significant costs on PPL subsidiaries.
 
The EPA released its 2008 Effluent Guidelines Plan and has chosen not to revise the steam electric effluent guidelines.  Instead, the EPA plans to continue to study the industry's wastewater discharges, with a focus on coal-fired plants and "particular interest" in Flue Gas Desulfurization wastewater treatment, ash sluice water management and water reuse opportunities.  The EPA plans to continue to study the industry through 2009 and 2010 annual reviews, including sampling at selected plants.
 
PPL has signed a consent order with the Pennsylvania DEP under which it will take further actions to minimize the possibility of fish kills at its Brunner Island plant.  Fish are attracted to warm water in power plant discharge channels, especially during cold weather.  In the past, fish kills have occurred at Brunner Island when debris at intake pumps resulted in a unit trip or reduction in load, causing a sudden change in water temperature in the discharge channel when fish were present.
 
PPL paid a nominal penalty to the DEP for fish kills that occurred in October 2007 and March 2008.  In addition, PPL had committed to construct a barrier to prevent debris from entering the intake area.  However, due to potential impacts in the floodplain, PPL was not able to obtain the necessary authorization from local townships and an alternative plan is being developed.  PPL has also committed to investigate alternatives to completely exclude fish from the discharge area.  PPL will need to implement one of these alternatives if a fish kill occurs after construction of the cooling towers at Brunner Island is completed in 2010.  The costs of these measures are not now determinable, but could be significant.
 
The EPA and several states, including Montana, are considering establishing regulations under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA) that could impact the disposal and management of coal combustion products (CCPs), including ash and scrubber wastes and other by-products.  Following the large ash release at a Tennessee Valley Authority site in Tennessee in December 2008 and subsequent widespread media coverage the EPA, under pressure from a variety of environmental groups and some legislators, has committed to proposing CCP regulations by the end of 2009 and has been seeking information from the power industry as it considers whether or not to regulate CCPs as hazardous waste.  As a precursor to developing regulations, the EPA issued letters in March 2009 to power plant owners, including PPL subsidiaries, requesting information on the structural integrity of their CCP disposal and associated water treatment impoundments.  PPL has responded to the requests and the EPA conducted a follow-up inspection of PPL Montana's Colstrip plant.  In June 2009, the EPA's Office of Enforcement and Compliance Assurance issued a much broader information request to Colstrip and 18 other non-affiliated plants, seeking information under the RCRA, the Clean Water Act and the Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act.  Although the EPA's enforcement office issued the request, the EPA has not necessarily concluded that the plants are in violation of any EPA requirements.  PPL cannot predict at this time the outcome of these matters or what the EPA's regulations may require and what impact, if any, they would have on PPL's facilities.
 
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, the Metal Bank site and the Ward Transformer site.  Clean-up actions have been or are being undertaken at all of these sites, the costs of which have not been significant to PPL.  However, should the EPA require different or additional measures in the future, or should PPL's share of costs at multi-party sites increase significantly more than currently expected, the costs to PPL could be significant.
 
PPL Electric has been remediating several sites that were not being addressed under another regulatory program such as Superfund, but for which PPL Electric may be liable for remediation.  These include a number of coal gas manufacturing facilities formerly owned or operated by a predecessor to PPL Electric.
 
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.  As a result of the EPA's evaluation, individual states may establish stricter standards for water quality and soil cleanup.  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 steps 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, 2009, PPL Energy Supply had accrued a discounted liability of $25 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 based on risk-free rates at the time of the mine closures.  The weighted average rate used was 8.18%.  Expected undiscounted payments are estimated at $1 million for each of the years from 2009 through 2013, and the expected payments for the work after 2013 are $144 million.
 
(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.
 
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 that EMFs cause adverse effects.  The agency further noted that there is some epidemiological evidence of an association with childhood leukemia, but that the evidence is difficult to interpret without supporting laboratory evidence.  The U.K. National Radiological Protection Board (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 the U.K., and the associated cost, or what, if any, liabilities they might incur related to the EMF issue.
 
Environmental Matters - WPD (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
WPD's distribution businesses are subject to environmental regulatory and statutory requirements.  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.
 
The U.K. government has implemented a project to determine the impact of flooding on the U.K. utility infrastructure, including major electricity substations.  WPD estimates a cost of $35 million to comply with the anticipated requirements and expects to be allowed to recover costs through rates.
 
There are no other material legal or administrative proceedings pending against or related to WPD with respect to environmental matters.  See "Environmental Matters - Domestic - Superfund and Other Remediation - Electric and Magnetic Fields" for a discussion of EMFs.
 
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.  This maximum assessment was $37 million.
 
In the event of a nuclear incident at the Susquehanna station, PPL Susquehanna's public liability for claims resulting from such incident would be limited to $12.5 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 $235 million per incident, payable at $35 million per year.
 
At June 30, 2009, the property, replacement power and nuclear incident insurers maintained an A.M. Best financial strength rating of A ("Excellent").
 
Guarantees and Other Assurances
 
(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
In the normal course of business, PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric enter into agreements that provide financial performance assurance to third parties on behalf of certain subsidiaries.  Such agreements include, for example, guarantees, stand-by letters of credit issued by financial institutions and surety bonds issued by insurance companies.  These agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness attributed to a subsidiary on a stand-alone basis or to facilitate the commercial activities in which these subsidiaries enter.
 
(PPL)
 
PPL fully and unconditionally guarantees all of the debt securities of PPL Capital Funding.

PPL Susquehanna is contingently obligated to pay this amount related to potential retroactive premiums that could be assessed under its nuclear insurance programs.  See "Nuclear Insurance" for additional information.
(f)
 
This is the maximum amount PPL Susquehanna could be assessed for each incident at any of the nuclear reactors covered by this Act.  See "Nuclear Insurance" for additional information.
(g)
 
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 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.  In 2009, $212 million of previously disclosed exposure expired.
     
   
In addition to the $10 million exposure disclosed above, PPL Energy Supply has provided indemnification to the purchaser of a generating 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 is triggered only if the purchaser's losses reach $1 million in the aggregate, capped at 50% of the purchase price (or $95 million), and either expired in May 2007 or will expire pursuant to applicable statutes of limitations.  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 is capped at $4 million in the aggregate and survives for a maximum period of five years after the transaction closing.
(h)
 
In December 2007, a subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply executed revised owners agreements for two jointly owned facilities, the Keystone and Conemaugh generating stations.  The agreements require that in the event of any default by an owner, the other owners fund contributions for the operation of the generating stations, based upon their ownership percentages.  The maximum obligation among all owners, for each station, is currently $20 million.  The non-defaulting owners, who make up the defaulting owner's obligations, are entitled to the generation entitlement of the defaulting owner, based upon their ownership percentage.  The agreements do not have an expiration date.
(i)
 
As a result of the privatization of the utility industry in the U.K., certain electric associations' roles and responsibilities were discontinued or modified.  As a result, certain obligations, primarily pension-related, associated with these organizations have been guaranteed by the participating members.  Costs are allocated to the members based on predetermined percentages as outlined in specific agreements.  However, if a member becomes insolvent, costs can be reallocated to and are guaranteed by the remaining members.  At June 30, 2009, WPD has recorded an estimated discounted liability based on its current allocated percentage of the total expected costs for which the expected payment/performance is probable.  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.

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 indemnification or warranties related to services or equipment and vary in duration.  The 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 and the probability of payment/performance under these guarantees is remote.  At June 30, 2009, the aggregate fair value of the indemnities related to arrangements entered into subsequent to December 31, 2002 was insignificant.
 
 
PLR Contracts (PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
PPL Electric has power purchase agreements with PPL EnergyPlus, effective July 2000 and January 2002, under which PPL EnergyPlus will supply PPL Electric's entire 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, 2009 and 2008, these purchases totaled $411 million and $428 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, these purchases totaled $908 million and $917 million.  These purchases include nuclear decommissioning recovery and amortization of an up-front contract payment and are included in the Statements of Income as "Wholesale energy marketing to affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply, and as "Energy purchases from affiliate" by PPL Electric.
 
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, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of the contract was approximately $312 million and $917 million.  Accordingly, at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, PPL Energy Supply was required to provide PPL Electric with performance assurance of $79 million and $300 million.  These deposits are 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 "Interest Income from Affiliates" on the Statements of Income.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, interest related to these deposits was insignificant and $2 million.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, interest related to these deposits was $1 million and $5 million.
 
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 contracts was $6 million and $12 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  These balances are reflected on the Balance Sheets as "Deferred revenue on PLR energy supply to affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply, and as "Prepayment on PLR energy supply from affiliate" by PPL Electric.  The prepayment will be fully amortized during 2009.
 
Under Pennsylvania law and PUC regulations, PPL Electric is required to buy electricity generation supply for customers who do not choose a competitive supplier.  PPL Electric has conducted five of its six planned competitive solicitations for generation supply in 2010, after its existing PLR contract expires.  Competitive bids have been solicited for 4,250 MW, or 83%, of PPL Electric's expected generation supply requirements for these customers in 2010.  An independent company, NERA Economic Consulting (NERA), is managing this competitive solicitation process.  NERA compiles the results and presents them to the PUC.  See Note 10 for additional information on the results of the completed solicitations.  The sixth competitive solicitation is scheduled for October 2009.
 
PPL EnergyPlus was one of the successful bidders in the first 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:  (a) 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 (b) 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.  At June 30, 2009, PPL Energy Supply provided PPL Electric with an insignificant letter of credit as performance assurance.
 
At June 30, 2009, PPL Electric had credit exposure to PPL EnergyPlus under the PLR contracts and its solicitations for generation supply in 2010 of $312 million, excluding the effects of netting and collateral arrangements.  As a result of netting and collateral arrangements, PPL Electric's credit exposure was reduced to $51 million.

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (an exit price).  PPL and its subsidiaries use, as appropriate, a market approach (generally, data from market transactions), an income approach (generally, present value techniques and option-pricing models), and/or a cost approach (generally, replacement cost) to measure the fair value of an asset or liability.  These valuation approaches incorporate inputs such as observable, independent market data and/or unobservable data that management believes are predicated on the assumptions market participants would use to price an asset or liability.  These inputs may incorporate, as applicable, certain risks such as nonperformance risk, which includes credit risk.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Short-term Investments, and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents
 
PPL and its subsidiaries use the market approach to determine the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments, and restricted cash and cash equivalents.  The fair value measurements of short-term investments are based on quoted prices.
 
Price Risk Management Assets/Liabilities - Energy Commodities
 
The only energy commodity contracts classified as Level 1 are exchange-traded derivative gas and oil contracts.  When observable inputs are used to measure all or most of the value of a contract, the contract is classified as Level 2.  Over-the-counter (OTC) contracts are valued by traders using quotes obtained from an exchange, binding and non-binding broker quotes, prices posted by ISOs or published tariff rates.  PPL's risk management group obtains quotes from the market to validate the forward price curves.  OTC contracts include forwards, swaps, options and structured deals for electricity, gas, oil, and/or emission allowances and may be offset with similar positions in exchange-traded markets.  To the extent possible, fair value measurements utilize various inputs that include quoted prices for similar contracts or market-corroborated inputs.  In certain instances, these instruments may be valued using models, including standard option valuation models and standard industry models.  For example, the fair value of a structured deal that delivers power to an illiquid delivery point may be measured by valuing the nearest liquid trading point plus the value of the basis between the two points.  The basis input may be from market quotes, FTR prices, or historical prices.
 
When unobservable inputs are significant to the fair value measurement, a contract is classified as Level 3.  Additionally, Level 2 and Level 3 fair value measurements include adjustments for credit risk based on PPL's own creditworthiness (for net liabilities) and its counterparties' creditworthiness (for net assets).  PPL's credit department assesses all reasonably available market information and uses probabilities of default to calculate the credit adjustment.  PPL assumes that observable market prices include sufficient adjustments for liquidity and modeling risks, but for Level 3 fair value measurements, PPL also assesses the need for additional adjustments for liquidity or modeling risks.  The contracts classified as Level 3 represent contracts for which the delivery dates are beyond the dates for which independent prices are available or for power basis, which PPL generally values using historical prices.
 
Price Risk Management Assets/Liabilities - Interest Rate/Foreign Exchange
 
To manage its interest rate and foreign exchange risk, PPL and PPL Energy Supply generally use interest rate contracts such as forward-starting swaps and fixed-to-floating swaps, foreign exchange contracts such as forwards and options, and cross-currency swaps that contain characteristics of both interest rate and foreign exchange instruments.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply use an income approach to measure the fair value of these instruments, utilizing observable inputs such as forward interest rates and foreign exchange rates, and credit valuation adjustments, which may not be observable.  Given the duration of some of these contracts, PPL and PPL Energy Supply often cannot practicably obtain market information to value credit risk and therefore rely on their own models.  These models use projected probabilities of default based on historical observances.  When the credit valuation adjustment is significant to the overall valuation, the contracts are classified as Level 3.
 
NDT Funds
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply generally use the market approach to measure the fair value of the securities held in the NDT funds.  The fair value measurements of cash and cash equivalents and equity securities are based on quoted prices in active markets.  The fair value measurements of commingled equity index funds are based on firm quotes of net asset values per share, which are not obtained from a quoted price in an active market.  The fair value measurements of debt securities are generally based on evaluated prices that reflect observable market information, such as actual trade information for identical securities or for similar securities, adjusted for observable differences.  When this information is not available, the fair value of debt securities is measured using present value techniques, which incorporate other observable inputs including interest rates for debt securities with credit ratings and terms to maturity similar to the debt securities being measured.
 
Auction Rate Securities
 
PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's auction rate securities are recorded in "Investments - Other" on the Balance Sheet and include Federal Family Education Loan Program guaranteed student loan revenue bonds as well as various municipal bond issues.  Auction rate securities are classified as Level 3 because failed auctions limit the amount of observable market data that is available for measuring the fair value of these securities.
 
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the par value of these auction rate securities totaled $29 million for PPL and $24 million for PPL Energy Supply.  Contractual maturities for these auction rate securities are a weighted average of approximately 27 years.  Despite failed auctions in 2008 and 2009, PPL and PPL Energy Supply continued to earn interest on these investments at contractually prescribed interest rates.  During the second quarter of 2009, PPL Energy Supply liquidated an insignificant amount of securities at par.
 
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, PPL concluded that the fair value of its auction rate securities was $18 million and $24 million.  PPL Energy Supply concluded that the fair value of its auction rate securities was $15 million and $19 million at these same periods.  At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the temporary declines from par value were $11 million and $5 million for PPL, and $9 million and $5 million for PPL Energy Supply, and have been recorded in OCI.
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply estimated the fair value of auction rate securities based on the following criteria:  (i) the underlying structure and credit quality of each security; (ii) the present value of future estimated interest and principal payments discounted using interest rates for bonds with a credit rating and remaining term to maturity similar to the stated maturity of the auction rate securities; and (iii) consideration of the impact of auction failures or redemption at par.  Based upon the evaluation of available information, PPL and PPL Energy Supply believe these investments continue to be of high credit quality and they do not have significant exposure to realize losses on these securities.  The estimated fair value of these securities could change significantly based on future market conditions.

Sulfur Dioxide Emission Allowances
 
Due to a significant decline in market prices at March 31, 2009, PPL Energy Supply assessed the recoverability of certain sulfur dioxide emission allowances.  As a result, sulfur dioxide emission allowances with a carrying amount of $45 million were written down to their estimated fair value of $15 million, resulting in an impairment charge of $30 million being recorded during the first quarter of 2009.  This charge, recorded in the Supply segment for PPL and PPL Energy Supply, is included in "Other operation and maintenance" on the Statement of Income.
 
When available, observable market prices were used to value the sulfur dioxide emission allowances.  When observable market prices were not available, fair value was modeled using prices from observable transactions and appropriate discount rates.  The modeled values were significant to the overall fair value measurement.
 
Long Island Generation Business
 
The Long Island generation business met the held for sale criteria at June 30, 2009.  As a result, net assets held for sale with a carrying amount of $189 million were written down to their estimated fair value less cost to sell of $137 million.  See Note 8 for additional information on the anticipated sale.
 
The fair value was modeled using valuations obtained from third parties and appropriate discount rates.  The fair value of $138 million, which excludes $1 million of estimated costs to sell, was corroborated by the negotiated sales price adjusted for the additional anticipated cash flows from operations prior to the sale date.

Credit Concentration Associated with Financial Instruments
 
(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
PPL and its subsidiaries 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 fair 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)
 
At June 30, 2009, PPL had credit exposure of $4.0 billion to energy trading partners, excluding the effects of netting arrangements and collateral.  As a result of netting arrangements and collateral, PPL's credit exposure was reduced to $1.6 billion.  One of the counterparties accounted for 29% of this exposure, and no other individual counterparty accounted for more than 14% of the exposure.  Ten counterparties accounted for $1.3 billion, or 84%, of the total exposure.  Nine of these counterparties had an investment grade credit rating from S&P and accounted for 97% of the top 10 exposure.  The one counterparty that is not rated investment grade has posted collateral as per the terms and conditions of the contract and is current on its obligations.
 
(PPL Energy Supply)
 
At June 30, 2009, PPL Energy Supply had credit exposure of $4.1 billion to energy trading partners, excluding the effects of netting arrangements and collateral.  As a result of netting arrangements and collateral, PPL Energy Supply's credit exposure was reduced to $1.6 billion.  One of the counterparties accounted for 28% of this exposure, and no other individual counterparty accounted for more than 14% of the exposure.  Ten counterparties accounted for $1.3 billion, or 82%, of the total exposure.  These counterparties had an investment grade credit rating from S&P and accounted for 100% of the top 10 exposure.
 
Additionally, PPL Energy Supply has credit exposure to PPL Electric under the PLRcontracts.  This exposure is excluded from the exposure discussed above.  See Note 11 for additional information on the related-party credit exposure.
 
(PPL Electric)
 
At June 30, 2009, PPL Electric had no credit exposure as a result of its solicitations for the 2010 PLR supply.  There were nine successful bidders, all of which had an investment grade credit rating from S&P.  In the first competitive solicitation process, PPL EnergyPlus was awarded a significant portion of the solicitation.
 
PPL Electric has credit exposure to PPL Energy Supply under the current PLR contracts.  See Note 11 for additional information on the related party credit exposure.
 
 
Risk Management Objectives
 
(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
PPL has a risk management policy approved by the Board of Directors to manage market risk and counterparty credit risk.  The RMC, comprised of senior management and chaired by the Vice President-Risk Management, oversees the risk management function.  Key risk control activities designed to ensure compliance with the risk policy and detailed programs include, but are not limited to, credit review and approval, validation of transactions and market prices, verification of risk and transaction limits, VaR analyses, sensitivity analyses, and daily portfolio reporting, including open positions, determinations of fair value, and other risk management metrics.
 
Market risk is the potential loss PPL and its subsidiaries may incur as a result of price changes associated with a particular financial or commodity instrument.
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply are exposed to market risk from:
 
·
commodity price risk for energy and energy-related products associated with the sale of electricity from its generating assets and other electricity marketing activities and the purchase of fuel and fuel-related commodities for generating assets, as well as for proprietary trading activities;
·
interest rate and price risk associated with debt used to finance operations, as well as debt and equity securities in NDT funds and defined benefit plans; and
·
foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with investments in U.K. affiliates, as well as purchases of equipment in currencies other than U.S. dollars.
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply utilize forward contracts, futures contracts, options, swaps and structured deals such as tolling agreements as part of the risk management strategy to minimize unanticipated fluctuations in earnings caused by changes in commodity prices, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.  All derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value, unless they qualify for NPNS.
 
PPL Electric is exposed to market risk from its obligation as the PLR to its customers.  It has mitigated that risk with the fixed-price PLR agreement with PPL EnergyPlus, which expires at the end of 2009, and by entering into fixed-price load-following supply agreements for its customers for 2010.
 
Credit risk is the potential loss PPL and its subsidiaries may incur due to a counterparty's non-performance, including defaults on payments and energy commodity deliveries.
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply are exposed to credit risk from:
 
·
commodity derivatives with its energy trading partners, which include other energy companies, fuel suppliers, and financial institutions;
·
interest rate derivatives with financial institutions; and
·
foreign currency derivatives with financial institutions.
 
PPL Electric is exposed to credit risk from its load-following supply agreements for its customers in 2010.
 
The majority of the credit risk stems from PPL Energy Supply's and PPL Electric's commodity derivatives for multi-year contracts for energy sales and purchases.  If the counterparties fail to perform their obligations under such contracts and PPL and its subsidiaries could not replace the sales or purchases at the same prices as those under the defaulted contracts, PPL would incur financial losses.  Those losses would be recognized immediately or through lower revenues or higher costs in future years, depending on the accounting treatment for the defaulted contracts.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries have credit policies to manage their credit risk, including the use of an established credit approval process, daily monitoring of counterparty positions, and the use of master netting agreements.  These agreements generally include credit mitigation provisions, such as margin, prepayment or collateral requirements.  PPL and its subsidiaries may request the additional credit assurance, in certain circumstances, in the event that the counterparties' credit ratings fall below investment grade or their exposures exceed an established credit limit.  See Note 13 for credit concentration associated with financial instruments.
 
PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's obligation to return counterparty cash collateral under master netting arrangements was $221 million at June 30, 2009 and $22 million at December 31, 2008.
 
PPL Electric's obligation to return cash collateral to PPL Energy Supply under master netting arrangements was $79 million at June 30, 2009 and $300 million at December 31, 2008.  See Note 11 for additional information.
 
PPL and PPL Electric have not posted any cash collateral under master netting arrangements.  See Note 17 for additional information on deposits for trading purposes.
 
Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
Commodity price risk is one of PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's most significant risks due to the level of investment that PPL and PPL Energy Supply maintain in their generation assets, as well as the extent of their marketing and proprietary trading activities.  Several factors influence price levels and volatilities.  These factors include, but are not limited to, seasonal changes in demand, weather conditions, available generating assets within regions, transportation availability and reliability within and between regions, market liquidity, and the nature and extent of current and potential federal and state regulations.
 
To hedge the impact of market price fluctuations on PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's energy-related assets, liabilities and other contractual arrangements, PPL EnergyPlus sells and purchases physical energy at the wholesale level under FERC market-based tariffs throughout the U.S. and enters into financial exchange-traded and over-the-counter contracts.  Certain contracts qualify for NPNS or are non-derivatives and are therefore not reflected in the financial statements until delivery.  See Note 13 for additional information on NPNS.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply segregate their remaining non-trading activities into two categories:  cash flow hedge activity and economic activity.
 
Cash Flow Hedges
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial and physical derivative contracts, including forwards, futures, swaps and options, to hedge the price risk associated with electric, gas, oil and other commodities.  Many of these contracts have qualified for hedge accounting.  These contracts range in maturity through 2014.  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 periods.  In certain instances, amounts previously recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings.  There were no such reclassifications during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, hedge ineffectiveness associated with energy derivatives was, after tax, a gain of $39 million and insignificant.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, hedge ineffectiveness associated with energy derivatives was, after tax, a gain of $55 million and $2 million.
 
Additionally, during the past twelve months certain power and gas cash flow hedges failed hedge effectiveness testing.  Hedge accounting is not permitted for the quarter in which this occurs and, accordingly, the entire change in fair value for the periods that failed was recorded to the income statement.  These transactions were not dedesignated as hedges, since prospective regression analysis demonstrates that these hedges are expected to be highly effective over their term.  During the second quarter of 2009, fewer power and gas cash flow hedges failed hedge effectiveness testing as compared to the previous three quarters.  Therefore, the previously recognized unrealized gains associated with these hedges were reversed.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, after-tax losses of $160 million and $92 million were recognized in earnings.  No such amounts were recorded in 2008.
 
At June 30, 2009, the accumulated net unrealized after-tax gains on qualifying derivatives that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months were $17 million for PPL and $16 million for PPL Energy Supply.
 
Economic Activity
 
PPL Energy Supply also uses derivative contracts to economically hedge the impact of market price fluctuations on its energy-related assets, liabilities and other contractual arrangements that do not receive hedge accounting treatment.  PPL Energy Supply refers to these transactions as economic activity.  The economic activity category includes energy derivative transactions that have previously qualified or could potentially qualify for hedge accounting; however, these transactions have either been disqualified from hedge accounting or management has not elected to designate them as accounting hedges.  This category also includes transactions entered into to optimize the economic value of PPL Energy Supply's generation assets or to hedge its wholesale or retail load obligations.  These contracts range in maturity through 2017.  Additionally, the ineffective portion of qualifying cash flow hedges, including the entire change in fair value for certain cash flow hedges that failed effectiveness testing during the current period as discussed in the preceding "Cash Flow Hedges" section, is also included when PPL Energy Supply reports its economic activity.
 
Examples of transactions represented in this category include certain purchase contracts used to supply full-requirement sales contracts; FTRs or basis swaps used to hedge basis risk associated with the sale of generation or supplying full-requirement sales contracts; spark spreads (sale of electricity with the simultaneous purchase of fuel); retail gas activities; hedges of the fair value of fuel inventory; and fuel oil swaps used to hedge price escalation clauses in coal transportation and other fuel-related contracts.  PPL Energy Supply also uses options, which include the sale of call options and the purchase of put options tied to a particular generating unit.  Since PPL Energy Supply owns the physical generating capacity, its price exposure is limited to the cost of the particular generating unit and does not expose PPL Energy Supply to uncovered market price risk.  PPL Energy Supply also purchases call options or sells put options to create a net purchase position to cover an overall short position in its non-trading portfolio.

The net unrealized gains (losses) recorded in "Wholesale energy marketing" for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 resulted primarily from certain full-requirement sales contracts in which PPL Energy Supply did not elect NPNS and from hedge ineffectiveness as discussed in the "Cash Flow Hedges" section above.  The net unrealized gains (losses) recorded in "Energy purchases" for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 resulted primarily from certain purchase contracts to supply the full-requirement sales contracts noted above for which PPL Energy Supply did not elect hedge treatment and from hedge ineffectiveness.  Since power prices have decreased significantly during the period, these fixed-price contracts have resulted in unrealized gains and losses.
 
Commodity Price Risk (Trading)
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
PPL Energy Supply also executes 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.
 
Commodity Volumetric Activity
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
PPL Energy Supply currently employs four primary strategies to maximize the value of its wholesale energy portfolio.  As further discussed below, these strategies include the sales of baseload generation, optimization of intermediate and peaking generation, marketing activities, and proprietary trading activities.
 
Sales of Baseload Generation
 
PPL Energy Supply has a formal hedging program for its baseload generation fleet, which includes 7,600 MW of generating capacity.  The objective of this program is to provide a reasonable level of near-term cash flow and earnings certainty for the next three years; however, in certain instances, PPL Energy Supply will sell power and purchase fuel beyond this three-year period.  PPL Energy Supply sells its expected generation output on a forward basis using both derivative and non-derivative instruments.  Both are included in the following tables.
 
The following table presents the expected sales, in GWh, of baseload generation based on current forecasted assumptions for 2009-2013.  These expected sales could be impacted by several factors, including plant availability.

The majority of PPL Energy Supply's baseload generation for 2009 is allocated to supplying the PLR contract with PPL Electric.  This contract is not a derivative contract.  The PLR contract expires on December 31, 2009.
 
In addition to the fuel purchases above, PPL Energy Supply attempts to economically hedge the fuel price risk that is within its fuel-related contracts and coal transportation contracts, which are tied to changes in crude oil or diesel prices.  The following table presents the volumes (in thousands of barrels) of derivative contracts used in support of this strategy at June 30, 2009:

Optimization of Intermediate and Peaking Generation
 
In addition to its baseload generation activities, PPL Energy Supply attempts to optimize the overall value of its intermediate and peaking fleet, which includes 4,402 MW of gas and oil-fired generation.  PPL Energy Supply uses both option and non-option contracts to support this strategy.  The following table presents the volumes of derivative contracts used in support of this strategy at June 30, 2009:

Marketing Activities
 
PPL Energy Supply's marketing portfolio is comprised of full-requirement sales contracts and their related supply contracts, retail gas and electricity sales contracts and other marketing activities.  The full-requirement sales contracts and their related supply contracts make up a significant component of the marketing portfolio.  The obligations under the full-requirement sales contracts include supplying a bundled product of energy, capacity, renewable energy credits (RECs), and other ancillary products.  PPL Energy Supply uses a variety of strategies to hedge its full-requirement sales contracts, including purchasing energy at a liquid trading hub or directly at the load delivery zone, purchasing capacity and RECs in the market and supplying the energy, capacity and RECs with its generation.  RECs are not derivatives and therefore are excluded from the table below.  The following table presents the volumes of (sales)/purchase contracts, excluding FTRs, basis and capacity contracts, used in support of these activities at June 30, 2009:

The majority of PPL Energy Supply's full-requirement sales contracts receive accrual accounting as they qualify for NPNS or are not derivative contracts.  Also included in these volumes are the sales from PPL EnergyPlus to PPL Electric to supply PPL Electric's 2009 and 2010 load obligation.
(c)
 
PPL Energy Supply uses power and gas options, swaps and futures to hedge the volumetric risk associated with full-requirement sales contracts since the demand for power varies hourly.
 
As noted above, PPL Energy Supply's marketing activities also include its retail gas portfolio.  PPL Energy Supply has sold a total of 5.1 Bcf of gas to retail customers through 2012, which has been hedged with 5.1 Bcf of gas purchases.
 
FTRs and Other Basis Positions
 
PPL Energy Supply buys and sells FTRs and other basis positions to mitigate the basis risk between delivery points related to the sales of its generation, the supply of its full-requirement sales contracts and retail contracts, as well as for proprietary trading purposes.  The following table presents the volumes of FTR and basis (sales)/purchase contracts at June 30, 2009:

Proprietary Trading Activity
 
At June 30, 2009, PPL Energy Supply's proprietary trading positions, excluding FTRs, basis and capacity contracts, were not significant.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
PPL and its subsidiaries have issued debt to finance its operations, which results in an exposure to interest rate risk.  PPL and its subsidiaries utilize various financial derivative instruments to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio, adjust the duration of its debt portfolio and lock in benchmark interest rates 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 and its subsidiaries' debt portfolio due to changes in benchmark interest rates.
 
Cash Flow Hedges
 
Interest rate risks include exposure to adverse interest rate movements for outstanding variable rate debt and for future anticipated financings.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply may enter into financial interest rate swap contracts that qualify as cash flow hedges to hedge floating interest rate risk associated with both existing and anticipated debt issuances.  For PPL, these interest rate swap contracts range in maturity through 2020 and had a notional value of $100 million at June 30, 2009.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, hedge ineffectiveness associated with these derivatives was not significant.  No contracts were outstanding at PPL Energy Supply at June 30, 2009.
 
WPDH Limited holds a net notional position in cross-currency swaps totaling $302 million to hedge the interest payments and principal of its U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes with maturity dates ranging from December 2017 to December 2028.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, hedge ineffectiveness was not significant.
 
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 periods.  In certain instances, amounts previously recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings.  PPL had no such reclassification for the three months ended June 30, 2009, but reclassified a net after-tax gain of $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2009.  PPL had no such classifications in 2008.  PPL Energy Supply had no such reclassifications in 2009 or 2008.
 
At June 30, 2009, the accumulated net unrealized after-tax gains on qualifying derivatives that are expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months were $4 million for PPL and $3 million for PPL Energy Supply.  Amounts are reclassified as the hedged interest payments are made.
 
Fair Value Hedges
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply are exposed to changes in the fair value of their domestic and international debt portfolios.  To manage this risk, PPL and PPL Energy Supply may enter into financial contracts to hedge fluctuations in the fair value of existing debt issuances due to changes in benchmark interest rates.  At June 30, 2009, PPL held contracts that range in maturity through 2047 and had a notional value of $850 million.  PPL Energy Supply did not hold any such contracts at June 30, 2009.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply did not recognize any gains or losses resulting from the ineffective portion of fair value hedges or from a portion of the hedging instrument being excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, hedge ineffectiveness associated with interest rate derivatives was insignificant.  Additionally, PPL and PPL Energy Supply did not recognize any gains or losses resulting from hedges of debt issuances that no longer qualified as fair value hedges for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply are exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily through investments in U.K. affiliates.  In addition, PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's domestic operations 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.
 
Cash Flow Hedges
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply may enter into foreign currency derivatives associated with foreign currency-denominated debt and the exchange rate associated with firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies; however, at June 30, 2009, there were no existing contracts of this nature.  Amounts previously classified in AOCI are reclassified as the hedged interest payments are made and as the related equipment is depreciated.
 
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 periods.  In certain instances, amounts previously recorded in AOCI are reclassified to earnings.  There were no such reclassifications during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.
 
Fair Value Hedges
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the exchange rates associated with firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies; however, at June 30, 2009, there were no existing contracts of this nature.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply did not recognize any gains or losses resulting from the ineffective portion of fair value hedges or from a portion of the hedging instrument being excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008.  Additionally, PPL and PPL Energy Supply did not recognize any 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, 2009 and 2008.
 
Net Investment Hedges
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply may enter into foreign currency contracts to protect the value of a portion of their net investment in WPD.  The total notional amount of the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2009 was £55 million.  The settlement dates of these contracts range from September 2009 through June 2011.  At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these positions was a net asset of $17 million.  For the three months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recognized net investment hedge losses, after tax, of $8 million and $1 million in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of OCI.  For the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recognized net investment hedge gains (losses), after tax, of $(7) million and $1 million in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of OCI.  At June 30, 2009, $9 million of accumulated net investment hedge gains, after tax, were included in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of AOCI compared with $16 million of gains at December 31, 2008.  See Note 11 for additional information.
 
Economic Activity
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply may enter into foreign currency contracts as an economic hedge of anticipated earnings valued in British pounds sterling.  At June 30, 2009, the total exposure hedged was £61 million and the net fair value of these positions was a net liability of $9 million.  These contracts have termination dates ranging from July 2009 to December 2009.  No similar hedging instruments were outstanding at December 31, 2008.  Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, on these contracts are included in "Other Income (Expense) - net" on the Statements of Income.  For both the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recorded net losses of $11 million.  For the three and six months ended June 30, 2008, PPL and PPL Energy Supply recorded net losses of $1 million and $2 million.  See Note 11 for additional information.
 
Accounting and Reporting
 
(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
All derivative instruments are recorded at fair value on the balance sheet as an asset or liability (unless they qualify for NPNS), and changes in the derivatives' fair value are recognized currently in earnings unless specific hedge accounting criteria are met.  See Note 13 for additional information on NPNS.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries have elected not to offset net derivative positions in the financial statements.  Accordingly, PPL and its subsidiaries do not offset such derivative positions against the fair value of amounts (or amounts that approximate fair value) recognized for the right to reclaim cash collateral (a receivable) or the obligation to return cash collateral (a payable) under master netting arrangements.
 
Gains and losses associated with non-trading bilateral sales of electricity at major market delivery points are netted with purchases that offset the sales at those same delivery points.  A major market delivery point is any delivery point with liquid pricing available.
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply reflect their net realized and unrealized gains and losses associated with all derivatives that are held for trading purposes in the "Net energy trading margins" line on the Statements of Income.
 
The circumstances and intent existing at the time that derivative contracts are entered into are used to determine their accounting designation, which is subsequently verified by an independent internal group on a daily basis.  The following summarizes the guidelines that have been provided to the marketers who are responsible for contract designation for derivative energy contracts.
 
·
Any wholesale and retail contracts to sell electricity and the related capacity that do not meet the definition of a derivative receive accrual accounting.
   
·
Physical electricity-only transactions can receive cash flow hedge treatment if all of the qualifications are met.
   
·
Physical capacity-only transactions to sell excess capacity from PPL's generation qualify for NPNS.  The forward value of these transactions is not recorded in the financial statements and has no earnings impact until delivery.
   
·
Any physical energy sale or purchase not intended to hedge an economic exposure is considered speculative, with unrealized gains or losses recorded immediately through earnings.
   
·
Financial transactions, which can be settled in cash, do not qualify for NPNS because they do not require physical delivery.  These transactions can receive cash flow hedge treatment if they lock in the cash flows PPL will receive or pay for energy expected to be sold or purchased in the spot market.
   
·
PPL purchases FTRs for both proprietary trading activities and hedging purposes.  FTRs, although economically effective as electricity basis hedges, do not currently qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  Unrealized and realized gains and losses from FTRs that were entered into for trading purposes are recorded in "Net energy trading margins" on the Statements of Income.  Unrealized and realized gains and losses from FTRs that were entered into to offset probable transmission congestion expenses are recorded in "Energy purchases" on the Statements of Income.
   
·
Physical and financial transactions for gas and oil to meet fuel and retail requirements can receive cash flow hedge treatment if they lock in the price PPL will pay and meet the definition of a derivative.
   
·
Certain option contracts may receive hedge accounting treatment.  Those that are not eligible are marked to fair value through earnings.
 
Unrealized gains or losses on cash flow hedges are recorded in OCI, excluding ineffectiveness that is recognized immediately in earnings.  These unrealized gains and losses become realized when the contracts settle and are recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur.
 
The following is a summary of certain guidelines that have been provided to PPL's Finance Department, which is responsible for contract designation for interest rate and foreign currency derivatives.
 
·
Transactions to lock in an interest rate prior to a debt issuance can be designated as cash flow hedges.  Any unrealized gains or losses on transactions receiving cash flow hedge treatment are recorded in OCI and are amortized as a component of interest expense when the hedged transactions occur.
   
·
Transactions entered into to hedge fluctuations in the fair value of existing debt can be designated as fair value hedges.  To the extent that the change in the fair value of the derivative offsets the change in the fair value of the existing debt, there is no earnings impact, as both changes are reflected in interest expense.  Realized gains and losses over the life of the hedge are reflected in interest expense.
   
·
Transactions entered into to hedge the value of a net investment of foreign operations can be designated as net investment hedges.  To the extent that the derivatives are highly effective at hedging the value of the net investment, gains and losses are recorded in the foreign currency translation adjustment component of OCI and will not be recorded in earnings until the investment is substantially liquidated.
   
·
Derivative transactions that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment are marked to fair value through earnings.  These transactions generally include hedges of earnings translation risk associated with subsidiaries that report their financial statements in a currency other than the U.S. dollar.  As such, these transactions eliminate earnings volatility due solely to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
 
(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
Certain of PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's derivative contracts contain credit contingent provisions which would permit the counterparties with which PPL or PPL Energy Supply is in a net liability position to require the transfer of additional collateral upon a decrease in PPL's or PPL Energy Supply's credit rating.  Most of these provisions would require PPL or PPL Energy Supply to transfer additional collateral or permit the counterparty to terminate the contract if PPL's or PPL Energy Supply's credit rating were to fall below investment grade.  Some of these provisions also would allow the counterparty to require additional collateral upon each decrease in the credit rating at levels that remain above investment grade.  In either case, if PPL's or PPL Energy Supply's credit rating were to fall below investment grade (i.e., below BBB- for S&P or Fitch, or Baa3 for Moody's), and assuming no assignment to an investment grade affiliate where allowed, most of these credit contingent provisions require either immediate payment of the net liability as a termination payment or immediate and ongoing full collateralization by PPL or PPL Energy Supply on derivative instruments in net liability positions.
 
Additionally, certain of PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's derivative contracts contain credit contingent provisions that require PPL or PPL Energy Supply to provide "adequate assurance" of performance if the other party has reasonable grounds for insecurity regarding PPL's or PPL Energy Supply's performance of its obligation under the contract.  A counterparty demanding adequate assurance could require a transfer of additional collateral or other security, including letters of credit, cash and guarantees from a creditworthy entity.  This would typically involve negotiations among the parties.  However, amounts disclosed below represent assumed immediate payment or immediate and ongoing full collateralization for derivative instruments in net liability positions with "adequate assurance" provisions.
 
To determine net liability positions, PPL and PPL Energy Supply use the fair value of each agreement, such as an International Swaps and Derivatives Association, Inc. contract.  The aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with the credit contingent provisions described above that were in a net liability position at June 30, 2009 was $311 million for PPL and $309 million for PPL Energy Supply of which both had posted collateral of $255 million in the normal course of business.  At June 30, 2009, if the credit contingent provisions underlying these derivative instruments were triggered due to a credit downgrade below investment grade, PPL and PPL Energy Supply would have been required to post an additional $132 million and $130 million of collateral to their counterparties.

NDT Funds
 
When the fair value of a security is less than amortized cost, PPL and PPL Energy Supply must make certain assertions to avoid recording an other-than-temporary impairment that requires a current period charge to earnings.  The NRC requires that nuclear decommissioning trusts be managed by independent investment managers, with discretion to buy and sell securities in the trusts.  As a result, PPL and PPL Energy Supply were unable to demonstrate the ability to hold an impaired security until it recovers its value; therefore, unrealized losses on debt securities through March 31, 2009, and unrealized losses on equity securities for all periods presented represented other-than-temporary impairments that required a current period charge to earnings.
 
As described in "New Accounting Standards Adopted - FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2" in Note 2, effective April 1, 2009, when PPL and PPL Energy Supply intend to sell a debt security or more likely than not will be required to sell a debt security before recovery, then the other-than-temporary impairment recognized in earnings will equal the entire difference between the security's amortized cost basis and its fair value.  However, if there is no intent to sell a debt security and it is not more likely than not that they will be required to sell the security before recovery, but the security has suffered a credit loss, the other-than-temporary impairment will be separated into the credit loss component, which is recognized in earnings, and the remainder of the other-than-temporary impairment, which is recorded in OCI.  Temporary impairments of debt securities and unrealized gains on both debt and equity securities are recorded to OCI.  There were no credit losses on debt securities held in the NDT funds at June 30, 2009.
 
Auction Rate Securities
 
At June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the estimated fair value of the auction rate securities was $11 million and $5 million lower than par value for PPL and $9 million and $5 million lower than par value for PPL Energy Supply.  See Note 13 for additional information on these securities, including fair value.  Based upon the evaluation of available information, PPL and PPL Energy Supply believe these investments continue to be of high credit quality and they do not have significant exposure to realize losses on these securities.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply have no current plans to sell these securities until they can be liquidated at par value and do not anticipate having to sell these securities in order to fund operations or for any other purpose.  As such, the decline in fair value was deemed temporary due to general market conditions.  During the second quarter of 2009, PPL Energy Supply liquidated an insignificant amount of these securities at par.
 
Short-term Investments
 
In December 2008, the PEDFA issued $150 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A and 2008B due 2038 (Series 2008 Bonds) on behalf of PPL Energy Supply.  PPL Investment Corp. acted as the initial purchaser of the Series 2008 Bonds upon issuance.  At December 31, 2008, these investments were reflected in "Short-term investments" on the Balance Sheet.  In April 2009, PPL Investment Corp. received $150 million for its investment in the Series 2008 bonds when they were refunded by the PEDFA.  See "Financing Activities" in Note 7 for more information on the refundings.  No realized or unrealized gains (losses) were recorded on these securities, as the difference between carrying value and fair value was insignificant.

Lessor Transactions (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)
 
A PPL Energy Supply subsidiary is the lessor, for accounting purposes, of each of the Shoreham and Edgewood plants (collectively with related tolling agreements, the Long Island generation business).  In May 2009, PPL Generation signed a definitive agreement to sell the Long Island generation business.  The tolling agreements related to these plants, accounted for as containing leases, will be transferred to the new owner upon completion of the sale.  The lease related to the Shoreham plant is classified as a direct-financing lease.  Future minimum lease payments on this lease are estimated to be $16 million per year for 2009 through 2013.  The lease related to the Edgewood plant is classified as an operating lease.  Minimum future lease rentals are estimated to be $3 million per year for 2009 through 2013.  At December 31, 2008, total minimum future rentals under this lease were estimated to be $28 million.  PPL Energy Supply no longer expects to receive these payments subsequent to completion of the anticipated sale.  See Note 8 for additional information on the anticipated sale.
 
 
(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)
 
FSP FAS 132(R)-1
 
FSP FAS 132(R)-1 amends SFAS 132(R) to provide guidance on an employer's disclosures about plan assets of defined benefit plans.  The objectives of the disclosures are to provide users of financial statements with an understanding of:
 
·
how investment allocation decisions are made, including the factors that are pertinent to an understanding of investment policies and strategies;
·
the major categories of plan assets;
·
the inputs and valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of plan assets;
·
the effect of fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) on changes in plan assets for the period; and
·
significant concentrations of risk within plan assets.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries will adopt FSP FAS 132(R)-1, prospectively, effective December 31, 2009.  FSP FAS 132(R)-1 was issued to provide greater transparency within disclosures; therefore, the adoption is not expected to have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements.
 
SFAS 166
 
SFAS 166 was issued to revise the accounting for transfers of financial assets.  SFAS 166 eliminates the concept of a qualifying special-purpose entity (QSPE); therefore, QSPEs will be subject to consolidation guidance.  Further, SFAS 166 changes the requirements for the derecognition of financial assets, establishes new criteria for reporting the transfer of a portion of a financial asset as a sale and requires transferors to initially recognize, at fair value, assets obtained and liabilities incurred as a result of a transfer accounted for as a sale.  Additionally, SFAS 166 requires enhanced disclosures to improve the transparency around transfers of financial assets and a transferor's continuing involvement.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries will adopt SFAS 166 effective January 1, 2010.  Early adoption is prohibited.  SFAS 166 will be applied prospectively to new transfers of financial assets.  Disclosures will be required for all transfers, including those entered into before the effective date.  Comparative disclosures are encouraged, but not required, for periods in which these disclosures were not previously required.  The potential impact of adoption to the financial statements is not yet determinable but could be material.
 
SFAS 167
 
SFAS 167 amends FIN 46(R) to replace the quantitative-based risks and rewards calculation for determining which entity, if any, has a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (VIE) and is the primary beneficiary.  SFAS 167 prescribes a qualitative approach focused on identifying which entity has the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses of or the right to receive benefits from the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  SFAS 167 requires ongoing assessments of whether an entity is the primary beneficiary of a VIE and requires enhanced disclosures to improve the transparency about an entity's involvement in a VIE.
 
Upon adoption of SFAS 167, all previous consolidation conclusions must be reconsidered.  Additionally, with the elimination of the QSPE concept in SFAS 166, QSPEs need to be evaluated for consolidation.  If the initial application of SFAS 167 results in consolidation of a VIE, the assets, liabilities, and noncontrolling interests of the VIE will be measured at their carrying amounts as if SFAS 167 had been applied from the point in time the entity became the primary beneficiary of the VIE (unless the fair value option is elected).  Any difference between the net amounts required to be recognized and the amount of any previously recognized interest will be reflected as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings.  If initial application of SFAS 167 results in deconsolidation of a VIE, any retained interest in the VIE will be measured at its carrying value as if SFAS 167 had been applied from the inception of the VIE.
 
PPL and its subsidiaries will adopt SFAS 167, prospectively, effective January 1, 2010. Early adoption is prohibited.  Comparative disclosures are not required for periods in which these disclosures were not previously required.  The potential impact of adoption to the financial statements is not yet determinable but could be material.
 
SFAS 168
 
SFAS 168 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards CodificationTM (ASC) as the primary source of authoritative GAAP, other than guidance issued by the SEC.  SFAS 168 eliminates the previous GAAP hierarchy of accounting and reporting guidance and replaces it with two levels of literature: authoritative and nonauthoritative.  The ASC does not change GAAP; rather, it organizes GAAP pronouncements in a consistent manner by accounting topic.  PPL and its subsidiaries will adopt SFAS 168 beginning with the period ended September 30, 2009, and will update references to accounting and reporting standards to reflect the nomenclature presented in the ASC.  The implementation of SFAS 168 will not have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries' financial statements.

Subsequent events have been evaluated through the time of issuance of these financial statements on August 4, 2009, and are included in the relevant note disclosures.

 
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, Pennsylvania.  Refer to "Item 1. Business - Background" in PPL's 2008 Form 10-K for descriptions of its reportable segments, which are Supply, International Delivery and Pennsylvania Delivery.  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 and the U.K.  See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview" in PPL's 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of PPL's strategy and the risks and challenges that it faces in its business.  See "Forward-Looking Information," Note 10 to the Financial Statements and the remainder of Item 2 in this Form 10-Q, and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and the rest of Item 7 in PPL's 2008 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.
 
Market Events
 
The recent conditions in the financial markets have been disruptive to the processes of managing credit risk, responding to liquidity needs, measuring derivatives and other financial instruments at fair value, and managing market price risk.  Bank credit capacity has been reduced and the cost of renewing or establishing new credit facilities has increased significantly, thereby making less certain businesses' ability to enter into long-term energy commitments or reliably estimate the longer-term cost and availability of credit.
 
Commodity Price Risk
 
The volatility of wholesale energy prices due to recent conditions in the financial and commodity markets significantly impacted PPL's earnings in 2009.  See "Statement of Income Analysis - Domestic Gross Energy Margins - Domestic Gross Energy Margins By Region" for further discussion.
 
Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that PPL would incur a loss as a result of nonperformance by counterparties of their contractual obligations.  PPL maintains credit policies and procedures to limit counterparty credit risk.  The recent conditions in the financial and commodity markets have generally increased PPL's exposure to credit risk.  See Notes 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements and "Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - Credit Risk" in PPL's 2008 Form 10-K for more information on credit risk.
 
Liquidity Risk
 
Despite the recent conditions in the financial and capital markets, external financing activities by domestic electric utilities are being completed, albeit at higher-than-historical interest rates.  PPL expects to continue to have access to adequate sources of liquidity through operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and, from time to time, through the issuance of capital market securities.  See "Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for an expanded discussion of PPL's liquidity position and a discussion of financing transactions.
 
Valuations in Inactive Markets
 
The recent conditions in the financial markets have generally made it difficult to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in inactive markets.  Management has reviewed the activity in the energy and financial markets in which PPL transacts, concluding that all of these markets were active at June 30, 2009, with the exception of the market for auction rate securities.  See Notes 13 and 18 to the Financial Statements and "Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Auction Rate Securities" for a discussion of these investments.
 
Securities Price Risk
 
Declines in the market price of debt and equity securities result in unrealized losses that reduce the asset values of PPL's investments in its NDT funds and defined benefit plans.  Both the pension plan and the NDT funds had positive returns in the second quarter of 2009, thereby recovering a portion of the negative returns incurred in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.  PPL actively monitors the performance of the investments held in its NDT funds and periodically reviews the funds' investment allocations.  See "Financial Condition - Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - NDT Funds - Securities Price Risk" for additional information on securities price risk.
 
Determination of the funded status of defined benefit plans, contribution requirements and net periodic defined benefit costs for future years are subject to changes in various assumptions, in addition to the actual performance of the assets in the plans.  See "Application of Critical Accounting Policies - Defined Benefits" in PPL's 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions and sensitivities regarding those assumptions.
 
The Economic Stimulus Package
 
The Economic Stimulus Package is intended to stimulate the U.S. economy through federal tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social stimulus provisions, domestic spending for education, health care and infrastructure, including the energy sector.  A portion of the benefits included in the Economic Stimulus Package are offered in the form of loan fee reductions, expanded loan guarantees and secondary market incentives, including delayed recognition for tax purposes of income related to the cancellation of certain types of debt.  See "Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a discussion of the applicability to the purchase of notes by PPL Energy Supply.
 
Funds from the Economic Stimulus Package will be allocated to various federal agencies, such as the DOE, and will also be provided to state agencies through block grants.  The DOE plans to use a portion of the funds for smart grid and other efficiency-related programs, and has initiated a process for that purpose.  The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is accepting applications for funding of certain energy projects including solar projects.  As discussed in Note 8 to the Financial Statements, PPL has reconsidered its Holtwood expansion project in view of the tax incentives and potential loan guarantees for renewable energy projects contained in the Economic Stimulus Package.  PPL has filed DOE loan guarantee applications for the Holtwood expansion project and for the Rainbow redevelopment project.  In addition, in July 2009, PPL Electric proposed to the DOE a $38 million project that would use smart grid technology to strengthen reliability, save energy and improve electric service for 60,000 Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area customers.  PPL Electric is requesting a DOE grant to provide half of the funding for this pilot program.  PPL and its subsidiaries continue to review the Economic Stimulus Package's provisions to determine the impact on PPL's possible expansion plans, transmission projects and other business-related activities.
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with PPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes and with PPL's 2008 Form 10-K.
 
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 "Statement of Income Analysis," which includes explanations of significant changes in principal items on PPL's Statements of Income, comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, with the same periods in 2008.
 
The results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and by seasonal variations, and as such, the results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate results or trends for the year or for future operating results.

Supply Segment
 
The Supply segment primarily consists of the domestic energy marketing, domestic generation and domestic development operations of PPL Energy Supply.  In May 2009, PPL announced its intention to sell its Long Island generation business, and in July 2009, announced its intention to sell the majority of its Maine hydroelectric generation business.  PPL expects the sales to close in 2009.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
In 2009 and 2008, the Supply segment results reflect the reclassification of the revenues and expenses of the Long Island generation business and the majority of its Maine hydroelectric generation business to Discontinued Operations.

Higher other operation and maintenance for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, primarily due to higher outage costs at the Susquehanna nuclear plant as a result of the timing of the 2009 refueling outage, partially offset by lower outage costs at the Eastern and Western U.S. fossil/hydroelectric stations.
   
·
Higher depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, primarily due to the Montour scrubbers and Susquehanna generation uprate projects that were placed in-service in the second quarter of 2008 and the Brunner Island scrubber placed in-service in the second quarter of 2009.

Earnings Outlook
 
Excluding special items, PPL projects higher earnings for its Supply segment in 2009 compared with 2008, driven by higher energy margins as a result of higher expected baseload generation and margins from marketing and trading activities, despite higher expected coal expense, partially offset by higher expected operation and maintenance expenses and depreciation.
 
In July 2009, PPL Maine signed a definitive agreement to sell the majority of its hydroelectric generation business.  The transaction is expected to result in an after-tax gain in the range of $26 million to $35 million ($0.07 to $0.09 per share, basic and diluted), including the contingent consideration that would be realized upon completion of the anticipated sale of PPL Maine's three other hydroelectric facilities.  This gain will be classified as a special item, and due to the contingent consideration, a portion may be recorded beyond 2009 or ultimately may not be realized.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
International Delivery Segment
 
The International Delivery segment consists primarily of the electricity distribution operations in the U.K.  In the first quarter of 2008, the International Delivery segment recognized income tax benefits and miscellaneous expenses in Discontinued Operations as the dissolution of the remaining Latin American holding companies commenced.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.  International Delivery segment net income attributable to PPL was:

Lower other operating expenses for both periods primarily due to lower pension costs resulting from an increase in the discount rate and lower WPD meter operator expenses due to the transfer of that activity to a third party.
   
·
Lower interest expense for both periods on the index-linked senior unsecured notes primarily due to lower inflation rates.
   
·
Lower U.K. income taxes for both periods primarily due to changes in uncertain tax positions, partially offset by tax return adjustments in 2008.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
   
·
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted U.K. earnings for both periods.  The weighted-average exchange rate for the British pound sterling was approximately $1.46 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, versus approximately $1.98 for the same periods in 2008.

Earnings Outlook
 
Excluding special items, PPL projects lower earnings for its International Delivery segment in 2009 compared with 2008, primarily as a result of less favorable foreign currency exchange rates.  See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for information on the potential impact of the Ofgem's five-year pricing review and its potential impact on WPD's revenues and earnings for 2010 and beyond.
 
Pennsylvania Delivery Segment
 
The Pennsylvania Delivery segment for both 2009 and 2008 includes the regulated electric delivery operations of PPL Electric.  The Pennsylvania Delivery segment results in 2008 also include the revenues and expenses of PPL's natural gas distribution and propane businesses, which are classified as Discontinued Operations.  In October 2008, PPL sold its natural gas distribution and propane businesses.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Lower delivery revenues for both periods were primarily due to economic conditions including industrial customers scaling back on production, and a true-up of the FERC formula-based transmission revenues recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2009.  See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information on the true-up.  In addition, during the second quarter of 2009, weather had an unfavorable impact on sales volumes.
   
·
Lower other operation and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, primarily due to decreased contractor expenses in 2009 and higher storm costs in 2008, net of insurance recoveries.
   
·
Higher interest expense for both periods, primarily due to $400 million of debt issuances in 2008 that prefund a portion of 2009 debt maturities.

Earnings Outlook
 
Excluding special items, PPL projects lower earnings in its Pennsylvania Delivery segment in 2009 compared with 2008, primarily due to higher financing costs, lower electricity delivery revenues, higher operation and maintenance expenses, and the divestiture of its natural gas distribution and propane businesses.
 
See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of items that could impact earnings beyond 2009, including the PUC-approved plan to procure default electricity supply for 2010 through May 2013, Pennsylvania legislative updates and other regulatory activities.
 
Statement of Income Analysis --
 
Domestic Gross Energy Margins
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
 
The following discussion includes financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as a non-GAAP financial measure, "Domestic Gross Energy Margins."  The presentation of "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" is intended to supplement the investor's understanding of PPL's domestic non-trading and trading activities by combining applicable income statement line items and related adjustments to calculate a single financial measure.  PPL believes that "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" are useful and meaningful to investors because they provide them with the results of PPL's domestic non-trading and trading activities as another criterion in making their investment decisions.  PPL's management also uses "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" in measuring certain corporate performance goals used in determining variable compensation.  Other companies may use different measures to present the results of their non-trading and trading activities.  Additionally, "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" are not intended to replace "Operating Income," which is determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of overall operating performance.  The following table provides a reconciliation between "Operating Income" and "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" as defined by PPL.

Domestic Gross Energy Margins By Region
 
Domestic gross energy margins are generated through PPL's various strategies to maximize the value of its wholesale energy portfolio.  The most significant of these strategies include the sales of baseload generation and optimization of intermediate and peaking generation, both of which are considered asset-related margins, and marketing and proprietary trading activities.  PPL also manages these activities on a geographic basis that is aligned with its generation assets.

Eastern U.S.
 
Eastern U.S. asset-related margins were $4 million higher and $13 million lower during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to gains resulting from the settlement of economic positions related to portfolio rebalancing and optimization strategies, higher capacity revenue and a 2.2% increase in PLR sales prices in accordance with the PUC Final Order.  Partially offsetting these higher margins was lower baseload generation of 9% and higher average baseload generation fuel prices of 12%, primarily due to higher coal prices.  The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to lower baseload generation of 5% and higher average baseload generation fuel prices of 8%, primarily due to higher coal prices.  This decrease was partially offset by gains resulting from the settlement of economic positions related to portfolio rebalancing and optimization strategies, higher capacity revenue and a 2.2% increase in PLR sales prices in accordance with the PUC Final Order.
 
Eastern U.S. marketing and trading margins were $71 million and $81 million lower during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The decrease for both periods was primarily due to lower FTR results, primarily due to lower congestion prices as a result of lower electricity prices, and lower margins on full-requirement sales contracts, primarily due to mild weather and the economic downturn.  Partially offsetting these decreases were increased margins in the power, gas, and oil trading positions.
 
Western U.S.
 
Western U.S. asset-related margins were $9 million and $20 million higher during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The increase for both periods was primarily due to higher wholesale volumes of 18% and increased generation from the hydroelectric units of 18%.
 
Western U.S. marketing and trading margins were $10 million higher during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, consisting of $5 million of both higher realized trading margins and unrealized trading margins.

Domestic utility revenues for both periods were negatively impacted by economic conditions including industrial customers scaling back on production, and a true-up of the FERC formula-based transmission revenues.  See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information on the true-up.  In addition, during the second quarter of 2009, weather had an unfavorable impact on sales volumes.  Lower U.K. electric delivery revenue for both periods was partially due to the transfer of meter operator activity to a third party in July 2008.
 
Energy-related Businesses
 
Energy-related businesses contributed $3 million less to operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008.  The decrease was primarily attributable to:
 
·
$2 million less from WPD's energy-related businesses, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and
·
$2 million less from domestic energy-related businesses, primarily due to a decline in construction activity caused by the slowdown in the economy.
 
Energy-related businesses contributed $4 million less to operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008.  Contributions from WPD-related businesses decreased by $4 million, primarily related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Amortization of Recoverable Transition Costs
 
Amortization of recoverable transition costs increased by $2 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The amortization of recoverable transition costs is based on a PUC amortization schedule, adjusted for ITC and CTC recoveries in customer rates and related expenses.  Since the amortization substantially matches the revenue recorded based on recovery in customer rates, there is minimal impact on earnings.

Financial Condition
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
PPL continues to focus on maintaining a strong credit profile and liquidity position during the disruptive conditions in the financial markets and historically difficult bank and capital market conditions.  PPL expects to continue to have adequate liquidity available through operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, its credit facilities and, as necessary, the issuance of capital market securities.

The $127 million decrease in PPL's cash and cash equivalents position was primarily the net result of:
 
·
$524 million of capital expenditures;
·
the payment of $430 million to retire $460 million aggregate principal amount of long-term debt;
·
the payment of $256 million of common stock dividends;
·
a net decrease in short-term debt of $77 million (excluding the impact of U.K. foreign currency exchange rates);
·
$40 million in net expenditures for intangible assets;
·
$568 million of cash provided by operating activities;
·
proceeds of $298 million from the issuance of long-term debt;
·
a decrease of $189 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents; and
·
proceeds of $150 million from the sale of short-term investments.
 
Auction Rate Securities
 
PPL's investment in auction rate securities continues to be impacted by auction failures and the resulting illiquidity in 2009. PPL held auction rate securities with an aggregate par value of $29 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  PPL concluded that the fair value of its auction rate securities was $18 million at June 30, 2009 and $24 million at December 31, 2008, a temporary decline of $11 million and $5 million from par value.  Based upon the evaluation of available information, PPL believes these investments continue to be of high credit quality.  PPL believes it will not be required to sell these securities, including to fund operations, and does not intend to sell these securities until they can be liquidated at par value.  Therefore, PPL believes it does not have significant exposure to realize losses on these securities, and none of the decline in fair value is attributable to credit loss and therefore is deemed temporary due to general market conditions and has not been recognized in earnings.  During the second quarter of 2009, PPL liquidated an insignificant amount of these securities at par.  See Notes 13 and 18 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of auction rate securities.

In March 2009, PPL Energy Supply's 364-day bilateral credit facility was amended.  The amendment included extending the expiration date from March 2009 to March 2010 and reducing the capacity from $300 million to $200 million.
 
PPL Energy Supply currently plans to renew its $385 million 364-day syndicated credit facility that expires in September 2009.
(b)
 
Committed capacity includes a $150 million credit facility related to an asset-backed commercial paper program.  At June 30, 2009, based on accounts receivable and unbilled revenue pledged, $150 million was available for borrowing under the asset-backed credit facility.  In July 2009, PPL Electric and a subsidiary extended the expiration date of the credit agreement related to the asset-backed commercial paper program to July 2010.
(c)
 
The commitments under PPL's domestic credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group consisting of 23 banks, with no one bank providing more than 14% of the total committed capacity.
(d)
 
In July 2009, WPD (South West) terminated its £150 million five-year syndicated credit facility, which was to expire in October 2009, and replaced it with a new £210 million three-year syndicated credit facility expiring in July 2012.  Under the new facility, WPD (South West) has the ability to make cash borrowings but cannot cause the lenders to issue letters of credit.  Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR-based rates plus a margin.  The new facility contains financial covenants that require WPD (South West) to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 times consolidated earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization and total net debt not in excess of 85% of its regulatory asset base, in each case calculated in accordance with the credit facility.
(e)
 
At June 30, 2009, the unused capacity of WPD's committed credit facilities was approximately $145 million.
 
See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of PPL's credit facilities.
 
Commercial Paper
 
As discussed below under "Rating Agency Decisions," S&P lowered its rating on PPL Energy Supply's commercial paper to A-3 from A-2 in January 2009.  Since PPL Energy Supply did not expect to need to issue any commercial paper during 2009 and there is essentially no liquidity in commercial paper markets for paper with an A-3 rating, PPL Energy Supply closed its commercial paper program in January 2009 and requested that Moody's, S&P and Fitch each withdraw their ratings on its commercial paper program, which each rating agency subsequently did.
 
Market conditions to issue commercial paper with ratings of P-2, A-2 and F-2 by Moody's, S&P and Fitch have improved since 2008.  However, they continue to be impacted by the volatility experienced in the broader financial markets.  Based on its current cash position and anticipated cash flows, PPL Electric currently does not expect to need to issue any commercial paper during 2009, but it may do so from time to time to facilitate short-term cash flow needs.
 
Financing Activities
 
In March 2009, PPL Capital Funding retired the entire $201 million of its 4.33% Notes Exchange Series A upon maturity.
 
In March 2009, PPL Energy Supply completed tender offers to purchase up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of certain of its outstanding senior notes in order to reduce future interest expense.  Pursuant to the offers, PPL Energy Supply purchased approximately $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Senior Notes due 2036 for $77 million, plus accrued interest, and approximately $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.20% Senior Notes due 2016 for $143 million, plus accrued interest.  See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for further discussion.  Under the Economic Stimulus Package, PPL will be permitted to defer recognition of income related to the extinguishment of these notes for tax purposes.  No amounts will be included in taxable income for the first five years.  Beginning in 2014, income related to the extinguishment of these notes will be included in taxable income ratably over five years.
 
In April 2009, the PEDFA issued $231 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2009A and 2009B due 2038 and Series 2009C due 2037 (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project), on behalf of PPL Energy Supply.  The Series 2009A bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, and the Series 2009B bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, were issued by the PEDFA in order to refund $150 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A and 2008B (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) due 2038 that were issued by the PEDFA in December 2008 on behalf of PPL Energy Supply, and for which PPL Investment Corp. acted as initial purchaser.  The Series 2009C bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $81 million, were issued in order to refund $81 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2007 (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) due 2037 that were issued by the PEDFA in December 2007 on behalf of PPL Energy Supply.  Among other things, the completed refundings were able to take advantage of provisions in the Economic Stimulus Package that eliminated the application of the AMT to interest payable on the refinanced indebtedness.  The refundings of the bonds were effected by the ultimate distribution of $231 million by the PEDFA to the bond holders, including PPL Investment Corp.  As a result of the refundings of the bonds, PPL Investment Corp. received proceeds of $150 million, which is reflected as a cash flow from investing activities on the Statement of Cash Flows for PPL and PPL Energy Supply for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
The Series 2009A, 2009B and 2009C bonds are structured as variable-rate remarketable bonds.  PPL Energy Supply may convert the interest rate mode on the bonds from time to time to a commercial paper rate, daily rate, weekly rate or a term rate of at least one year.  The bonds are subject to mandatory purchase under certain circumstances, including upon conversion to a different interest rate mode, and are subject to mandatory redemption upon a determination that the interest on the bonds would be included in the holders' gross income for federal tax purposes.  The Series 2009A bonds bore interest at an initial rate of 0.90% through June 30, 2009.  The Series 2009B bonds bear interest at an initial rate of 1.25% through September 30, 2009.  The Series 2009C bonds are in a weekly interest rate mode, bearing interest at 0.30% at June 30, 2009.
 
In connection with the issuance of each series of bonds by the PEDFA, PPL Energy Supply entered into separate loan agreements with the PEDFA pursuant to which the PEDFA loaned to PPL Energy Supply the proceeds of the Series 2009A, Series 2009B and Series 2009C bonds on payment terms that correspond to those of the bonds.  PPL Energy Supply issued separate promissory notes to the PEDFA to evidence its obligations under each of the loan agreements.  These loan agreements and promissory notes replaced those associated with the refunded 2007 and 2008 PEDFA bonds in a non-cash transaction that is excluded from the Statement of Cash Flows.
 
Concurrent with the issuance of each series of bonds, separate letters of credit, totaling $237 million, were issued under PPL Energy Supply's $3.2 billion five-year syndicated credit facility to the trustee in support of each series of bonds.  The letters of credit permit the trustee to draw amounts to pay principal of and interest on, and the purchase price of, the Series 2009A, Series 2009B and Series 2009C bonds when due.  PPL Energy Supply is required to reimburse any draws on the letters of credit within one business day of such draw.
 
PPL Energy Supply elected to change the interest rate mode on the Series 2009A bonds to a commercial paper rate mode upon expiration of the initial rate period.  As such, in July 2009, the Series 2009A bonds were remarketed in a commercial paper rate mode and bear interest at 0.90% through December 9, 2009, at which time the bonds will be remarketed based upon an interest rate mode elected by PPL Energy Supply.  In connection with this change, the letter of credit supporting the Series 2009A bonds was modified accordingly.
 
In May 2009, PPL Electric issued $300 million of 6.25% First Mortgage Bonds due 2039 (6.25% Bonds).  The 6.25% Bonds may be redeemed any time prior to maturity at PPL Electric's option at make-whole redemption prices.  PPL Electric received proceeds of $296 million, net of a discount and underwriting fees, from the issuance of the 6.25% Bonds.  Approximately $86 million of the proceeds will be used to partially fund the repayment at maturity of $486 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of PPL Electric's Senior Secured Bonds, 6-1/4% Series, due August 2009.  The balance of such repayment will be funded from the issuance in October 2008 of $400 million of 7.125% Senior Secured Bonds due 2013.  The balance of the proceeds from the issuance of the 6.25% Bonds is being used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.
 
In June 2009, PPL Electric repaid its $9 million obligation under a Variable Rate Pollution Control Facilities Note in connection with the early redemption in full of the underlying pollution control revenue bonds that were issued by the Indiana County Industrial Development Authority and due in June 2027.
 
Common Stock Dividends
 
In February 2009, PPL announced an increase to its quarterly common stock dividend, effective April 1, 2009, to 34.5 cents per share (equivalent to $1.38 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.

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.
 
In January 2009, S&P completed a review of PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric and revised its outlook for all three entities to negative from stable.  At that time, S&P affirmed the BBB issuer rating of PPL and PPL Energy Supply and affirmed the A- issuer rating of PPL Electric.  As a result of the negative outlook at PPL Energy Supply, S&P lowered the commercial paper rating of PPL Energy Supply to A-3 from A-2.  S&P stated in its press release regarding PPL and PPL Energy Supply that the revision in the outlook for PPL and PPL Energy Supply is based primarily on lower than expected cash flows for 2008 combined with concerns over further pressure on financial metrics in 2009.  S&P stated in its press release regarding PPL Electric that the revision in its outlook reflects the linkage with PPL along with their expectation that PPL Electric's financial metrics could weaken beginning in 2010.
 
At the request of PPL Energy Supply, Fitch, in January 2009, and Moody's and S&P, in February 2009, each withdrew their commercial paper rating for PPL Energy Supply.
 
In February 2009, S&P revised its outlook to negative from stable for each of WPDH Limited, WPD LLP, WPD (South Wales) and WPD (South West) and affirmed the issuer and short-term debt ratings of each of the entities.  S&P stated in its press release that the revision in the outlook is a reflection of the change to PPL's outlook and is not a result from any change in WPD's stand-alone credit profile.
 
In May 2009, Moody's completed a review of PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric.  As a result of that review, Moody's revised its outlook for PPL, PPL Capital Funding, and PPL Electric to negative from stable.  At the same time, Moody's affirmed the Baa2 senior unsecured rating and stable outlook of PPL Energy Supply.  Moody's stated in its press release that the revision in the outlook for PPL Electric reflects Moody's expectation that PPL Electric's financial metrics will deteriorate beyond 2009 and considers the potential for additional pressure on cash flows.  Moody's also stated that the revision in the outlook for PPL and PPL Capital Funding reflects the increasing support for corporate earnings and cash flow anticipated from PPL Energy Supply and the subordinate position of the unsecured lenders at these entities relative to the unsecured lenders at the subsidiary levels.
 
Ratings Triggers
 
PPL and PPL Energy Supply have various derivative and non-derivative contracts, including contracts for the sale and purchase of electricity and fuel, commodity transportation and storage, tolling agreements, and interest rate and foreign currency trades, which contain provisions requiring PPL and PPL Energy Supply to post additional collateral, or permit the counterparty to terminate the contract, if PPL's or PPL Energy Supply's credit rating were to fall below investment grade.  See Note 14 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of "Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features," including a discussion of the potential additional collateral that would have been required for derivative contracts in a net liability position at June 30, 2009.  At June 30, 2009, if PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's credit ratings had been below investment grade, PPL would have been required to post an additional $305 million of collateral to counterparties for both derivative and non-derivative commodity and commodity-related contracts used in its generation, marketing and trading operations and interest rate and foreign currency contracts.

Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other
 
Market Risk
 
Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)
 
PPL segregates its non-trading activities into two categories:  hedge activity and economic activity.  Transactions that are accounted for as hedge activity qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  The economic activity category includes transactions that address a specific risk, but were not eligible for hedge accounting or for which hedge accounting was not elected.  Although they do not receive hedge accounting treatment, these transactions are considered non-trading activity.  The net fair value of economic positions at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was a net asset of $7 million and a net liability of $52 million.
 
To hedge the impact of market price fluctuations on PPL's energy-related assets, liabilities and other contractual arrangements discussed above, PPL EnergyPlus sells and purchases physical energy at the wholesale level under FERC market-based tariffs throughout the U.S. and enters into financial exchange-traded and over-the-counter contracts.  PPL's non-trading commodity derivative contracts mature at various times through 2017.
 
The following table sets forth changes in the net fair value of PPL's non-trading commodity derivative contracts.  See Notes 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Because of PPL's efforts to hedge the value of 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 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, nonperformance 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 nonperformance in the future.

VaR Models
 
PPL utilizes a VaR model to measure commodity price risk in domestic gross energy margins for its non-trading and trading portfolios.  This approach is consistent with how PPL's RMC assesses the market risk of its commodity business.  VaR is a statistical model that attempts to estimate the value of potential loss over a given holding period under normal market conditions at a given confidence level.  PPL calculates VaR using a Monte Carlo simulation technique based on a five-day holding period at a 95% confidence level.  On June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the VaR for PPL's portfolios using end-of-quarter results for the period was as follows:

The trading portfolio includes all speculative positions, regardless of delivery period.  All positions not considered speculative are considered non-trading.  PPL's non-trading portfolio includes PPL's entire portfolio, including generation, with delivery periods through the next 12 months.  Both the trading and non-trading VaR computations exclude FTRs due to the absence of liquid spot and forward markets.  The fair value of the FTR positions at June 30, 2009 was an unrealized loss of $3 million, as follows:

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 instruments to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio, adjust the duration of its debt portfolio and lock in benchmark interest rates 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, 2009, PPL's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was $1 million.
 
PPL is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its domestic and international debt portfolios.  PPL estimated that a 10% decrease in interest rates at June 30, 2009 would increase the fair value of its debt portfolio by $300 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, 2009, the fair value of these instruments was a net asset of $3 million.  PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in interest rates at June 30, 2009 would decrease the net asset by $3 million.
 
PPL also utilizes various risk management instruments to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio.  The change in fair value of these instruments, as well as the offsetting change in the value of the hedged exposure of the debt, is reflected in earnings.  At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these instruments, including accrued interest, was an asset of $39 million.  PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in interest rates at June 30, 2009 would decrease the asset by $13 million.
 
WPDH Limited holds a net notional position in cross-currency swaps totaling $302 million to hedge the interest payments and principal of its U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes with maturity dates ranging from December 2017 to December 2028.  While PPL is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any change in the fair value of these instruments is recorded in equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the item being hedged affects earnings.  The estimated fair value of this position, including accrued interest, at June 30, 2009 was a net asset of $14 million.  WPDH Limited estimated that a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates at June 30, 2009 would decrease the net asset by $40 million.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
PPL is exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily through investments in U.K. affiliates.  In addition, PPL's domestic operations 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 protect the value of a portion of its net investment in WPD, PPL executed forward contracts to sell British pounds sterling.  The total notional amount of the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2009 was £55 million.  The settlement dates of these contracts range from September 2009 through June 2011.  At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these positions was a net asset of $18 million.  PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates at June 30, 2009 would decrease the net asset by $9 million.
 
To economically hedge the translation of 2009 expected income denominated in British pounds sterling to U.S. dollars, PPL entered into a combination of average rate forwards and average rate options to sell British pounds sterling.  At June 30, 2009, the total exposure hedged was £61 million.  These forwards and options have termination dates ranging from July 2009 through December 2009.  At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these positions was a net liability of $9 million.  PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates at June 30, 2009 would increase the net liability by $8 million.
 
NDT 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.  At June 30, 2009, these funds were invested primarily in domestic equity securities and fixed-rate, fixed-income securities.  These securities are reflected at fair value on PPL's Balance Sheet.  The mix of securities is designed to provide returns sufficient 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 primarily exposed to changes in interest rates.  PPL actively monitors the investment performance and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with its NDT policy statement.  At June 30, 2009, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and a 10% decrease in equity prices would have resulted in an estimated $33 million reduction in the fair value of the trusts' assets.  See Notes 13 and 18 to the Financial Statements for additional information regarding the NDT funds.
 
Credit Risk
 
See Notes 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements and "Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - Credit Risk" in PPL's 2008 Form 10-K for information on credit risk.
 
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 208 MW, primarily at its existing generating facilities.  Offsetting the planned capacity increases is an expected reduction of 30 MW due to the anticipated sale of the majority of PPL Maine's hydroelectric generation business, for which PPL Maine signed a definitive agreement in July 2009.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
PPL continuously reexamines development projects based on market conditions and other factors to determine whether to proceed with the projects, sell, cancel or expand them, execute tolling agreements or pursue other options.
 
Environmental Matters
 
See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental matters.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
See Notes 2 and 20 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting standards adopted and 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, defined benefits, asset impairment, leasing, loss accruals, AROs and income tax uncertainties.  See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL's 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of each critical accounting policy.

 
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
PPL Energy Supply is an energy company with headquarters in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  Refer to "Item 1. Business - Background" in PPL Energy Supply's 2008 Form 10-K for descriptions of its reportable segments, which are Supply and International Delivery.  Through its subsidiaries, PPL Energy Supply 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 the U.K.  See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview" in PPL Energy Supply's 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of PPL Energy Supply's strategy and the risks and challenges that it faces in its business.  See "Forward-Looking Information," Note 10 to the Financial Statements and the remainder of Item 2 in this Form 10-Q, and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and the rest of Item 7 in PPL Energy Supply's 2008 Form 10-K for more information concerning the material risks and uncertainties that PPL Energy Supply faces in its businesses and with respect to its future earnings.
 
Market Events
 
The recent conditions in the financial markets have been disruptive to the processes of managing credit risk, responding to liquidity needs, measuring derivatives and other financial instruments at fair value, and managing market price risk.  Bank credit capacity has been reduced and the cost of renewing or establishing new credit facilities has increased significantly, thereby making less certain businesses' ability to enter into long-term energy commitments or reliably estimate the longer-term cost and availability of credit.
 
Commodity Price Risk
 
The volatility of wholesale energy prices due to recent conditions in the financial and commodity markets significantly impacted PPL Energy Supply's earnings in 2009.  See "Statement of Income Analysis - Domestic Gross Energy Margins - Domestic Gross Energy Margins By Region" for further discussion.
 
Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that PPL Energy Supply would incur a loss as a result of nonperformance by counterparties of their contractual obligations.  PPL Energy Supply maintains credit policies and procedures to limit counterparty credit risk.  The recent conditions in the financial and commodity markets have generally increased PPL Energy Supply's exposure to credit risk.  See Notes 11, 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements and "Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - Credit Risk" in PPL Energy Supply's 2008 Form 10-K for more information on credit risk.
 
Liquidity Risk
 
Despite the recent conditions in the financial and capital markets, external financing activities by domestic electric utilities are being completed, albeit at higher-than-historical interest rates.  PPL Energy Supply expects to continue to have access to adequate sources of liquidity through operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and, from time to time, through the issuance of capital market securities.  See "Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for an expanded discussion of PPL Energy Supply's liquidity position and a discussion of financing transactions.
 
Valuations in Inactive Markets
 
The recent conditions in the financial markets have generally made it difficult to determine the fair value of certain assets and liabilities in inactive markets.  Management has reviewed the activity in the energy and financial markets in which PPL Energy Supply transacts, concluding that all of these markets were active at June 30, 2009, with the exception of the market for auction rate securities.  See Notes 13 and 18 to the Financial Statements and "Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Auction Rate Securities" for a discussion of these investments.
 
Securities Price Risk
 
Declines in the market price of debt and equity securities result in unrealized losses that reduce the asset values of PPL Energy Supply's investments in its NDT funds and defined benefit plans.  Both the pension plan and the NDT funds had positive returns in the second quarter of 2009, thereby recovering a portion of the negative returns incurred in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.  PPL Energy Supply actively monitors the performance of the investments held in its NDT funds and periodically reviews the funds' investment allocations.  See "Financial Condition - Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - NDT Funds - Securities Price Risk" for additional information on securities price risk.
 
PPL Energy Supply's subsidiaries sponsor various defined benefit plans and participate in and are allocated costs from defined benefit plans sponsored by PPL.  Determination of the funded status of defined benefit plans, contribution requirements and net periodic defined benefit costs for future years are subject to changes in various assumptions, in addition to the actual performance of the assets in the plans.  See "Application of Critical Accounting Policies - Defined Benefits" in PPL's 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions and sensitivities regarding those assumptions.
 
The Economic Stimulus Package
 
The Economic Stimulus Package is intended to stimulate the U.S. economy through federal tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social stimulus provisions, domestic spending for education, health care and infrastructure, including the energy sector.  A portion of the benefits included in the Economic Stimulus Package are offered in the form of loan fee reductions, expanded loan guarantees and secondary market incentives, including delayed recognition for tax purposes of income related to the cancellation of certain types of debt.  See "Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for a discussion of the applicability to the purchase of notes by PPL Energy Supply.
 
Funds from the Economic Stimulus Package will be allocated to various federal agencies, such as the DOE, and will also be provided to state agencies through block grants.  The DOE plans to use a portion of the funds for smart grid and other efficiency-related programs, and has initiated a process for that purpose.  The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania is accepting applications for funding of energy projects including solar projects.  As discussed in Note 8 to the Financial Statements, PPL Energy Supply has reconsidered its Holtwood expansion project in view of the tax incentives and potential loan guarantees for renewable energy projects contained in the Economic Stimulus Package.  PPL Energy Supply filed DOE loan guarantee applications for the Holtwood expansion project and for the Rainbow redevelopment project.  PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries continue to review the Economic Stimulus Package's provisions to determine the impact on PPL Energy Supply's possible expansion plans and other business-related activities.
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with PPL Energy Supply's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes and with PPL Energy Supply's 2008 Form 10-K.
 
Terms and abbreviations are explained in the glossary.  Dollars are in millions unless otherwise noted.
 
Results of Operations
 
The following discussion begins with a summary of PPL Energy Supply'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 "Statement of Income Analysis," which includes explanations of significant changes in principal items on PPL Energy Supply's Statements of Income, comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, with the same periods in 2008.
 
The results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and by seasonal variations, and as such, the results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate results or trends for the year or for future operating results.

Supply Segment
 
The Supply segment primarily consists of the domestic energy marketing, domestic generation and domestic development operations of PPL Energy Supply.  In May 2009, PPL Energy Supply announced its intention to sell its Long Island generation business, and in July 2009, announced its intention to sell the majority of its Maine hydroelectric generation business.  PPL Energy Supply expects the sales to close in 2009.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
In 2009 and 2008, the Supply segment results reflect the reclassification of the revenues and expenses of the Long Island generation business and the majority of its Maine hydroelectric generation business to Discontinued Operations.

Higher other operation and maintenance for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, primarily due to higher outage costs at the Susquehanna nuclear plant as a result of the timing of the 2009 refueling outage, partially offset by lower outage costs at the Eastern and Western U.S. fossil/hydroelectric stations.
   
·
Higher depreciation for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, primarily due to the Montour scrubbers and Susquehanna generation uprate projects that were placed in-service in the second quarter of 2008 and the Brunner Island scrubber placed in-service in the second quarter of 2009.

Earnings Outlook
 
Excluding special items, PPL Energy Supply projects higher earnings for its Supply segment in 2009 compared with 2008, driven by higher energy margins as a result of higher expected baseload generation and margins from marketing and trading activities, despite higher expected coal expense, partially offset by higher expected operation and maintenance expenses and depreciation.
 
In July 2009, PPL Maine signed a definitive agreement to sell the majority of its hydroelectric generation business.  The transaction is expected to result in an after-tax gain in the range of $26 million to $35 million, including the contingent consideration that would be realized upon completion of the anticipated sale of PPL Maine's three other hydroelectric facilities.  This gain will be classified as a special item, and due to the contingent consideration, a portion may be recorded beyond 2009 or ultimately may not be realized.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
International Delivery Segment
 
The International Delivery segment consists primarily of the electricity distribution operations in the U.K.  In the first quarter of 2008, the International Delivery segment recognized income tax benefits and miscellaneous expenses in Discontinued Operations as the dissolution of the remaining Latin American holding companies commenced.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.  International Delivery segment net income attributable to PPL Energy Supply was:

Lower other operating expenses for both periods primarily due to lower pension costs resulting from an increase in the discount rate and lower WPD meter operator expenses due to the transfer of that activity to a third party.
   
·
Lower interest expense for both periods on the index-linked senior unsecured notes primarily due to lower inflation rates.
   
·
Lower U.K. income taxes for both periods primarily due to changes in uncertain tax positions, partially offset by tax return adjustments in 2008.  See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
   
·
Changes in foreign currency exchange rates negatively impacted U.K. earnings for both periods.  The weighted-average exchange rate for the British pound sterling was approximately $1.46 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, versus approximately $1.98 for the same periods in 2008.

Earnings Outlook
 
Excluding special items, PPL Energy Supply projects lower earnings for its International Delivery segment in 2009 compared with 2008, primarily as a result of less favorable foreign currency exchange rates.  See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for information on the potential impact of the Ofgem's five-year pricing review and its potential impact on WPD's revenues and earnings for 2010 and beyond.

Domestic Gross Energy Margins
 
Non-GAAP Financial Measure
 
The following discussion includes financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP, as well as a non-GAAP financial measure, "Domestic Gross Energy Margins."  The presentation of "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" is intended to supplement the investor's understanding of PPL Energy Supply's domestic non-trading and trading activities by combining applicable income statement line items and related adjustments to calculate a single financial measure.  PPL Energy Supply believes that "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" are useful and meaningful to investors because they provide them with the results of PPL Energy Supply's domestic non-trading and trading activities as another criterion in making their investment decisions.  PPL Energy Supply's management also uses "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" in measuring certain corporate performance goals used in determining variable compensation.  Other companies may use different measures to present the results of their non-trading and trading activities.  Additionally, "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" are not intended to replace "Operating Income," which is determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indicator of overall operating performance.  The following table provides a reconciliation between "Operating Income" and "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" as defined by PPL Energy Supply.

Domestic Gross Energy Margins By Region
 
Domestic gross energy margins are generated through PPL Energy Supply's various strategies to maximize the value of its wholesale energy portfolio.  The most significant of these strategies include the sales of baseload generation and optimization of intermediate and peaking generation, both of which are considered asset-related margins and marketing and proprietary trading activities.  PPL Energy Supply also manages these activities on a geographic basis that is aligned with its generation assets.

Eastern U.S.
 
Eastern U.S. asset-related margins were $4 million higher and $13 million lower during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The increase during the three months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to gains resulting from the settlement of economic positions related to portfolio rebalancing and optimization strategies, higher capacity revenue and a 2.2% increase in PLR sales prices in accordance with the PUC Final Order.  Partially offsetting these higher margins was lower baseload generation of 9% and higher average baseload generation fuel prices of 12%, primarily due to higher coal prices.  The decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2009 was primarily due to lower baseload generation of 5% and higher average baseload generation fuel prices of 8%, primarily due to higher coal prices.  This decrease was partially offset by gains resulting from the settlement of economic positions related to portfolio rebalancing and optimization strategies, higher capacity revenue and a 2.2% increase in PLR sales prices in accordance with the PUC Final Order.
 
Eastern U.S. marketing and trading margins were $71 million and $81 million lower during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The decrease for both periods was primarily due to lower FTR results, primarily due to lower congestion prices as a result of lower electricity prices, and lower margins on full-requirement sales contracts, primarily due to mild weather and the economic downturn.  Partially offsetting these decreases were increased margins in the power, gas, and oil trading positions.
 
Western U.S.
 
Western U.S. asset-related margins were $9 million and $20 million higher during the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The increase for both periods was primarily due to higher wholesale volumes of 18% and increased generation from the hydroelectric units of 18%.
 
Western U.S. marketing and trading margins were $10 million higher during the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, consisting of $5 million of both higher realized trading margins and unrealized trading margins.

Lower U.K. electric delivery revenue for both periods was partially due to the transfer of meter operator activity to a third party in July 2008.
 
Energy-related Businesses
 
Energy-related businesses contributed $5 million less to operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008.  The decrease was primarily attributable to:
 
·
$2 million less from WPD's energy-related businesses, primarily due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates; and
·
$2 million less from domestic energy-related businesses, primarily due to a decline in construction activity caused by the slowdown in the economy.
 
Energy-related businesses contributed $6 million less to operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008.  Contributions from WPD-related businesses decreased by $4 million, primarily related to changes in foreign currency exchange rates.

Financial Condition
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
PPL Energy Supply continues to focus on maintaining a strong credit profile and liquidity position during the disruptive conditions in the financial markets and historically difficult bank and capital market conditions.  PPL Energy Supply expects to continue to have adequate liquidity available through operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, its credit facilities and, as necessary, the issuance of capital market securities.
 
PPL Energy Supply had the following at:

(b)
 
Includes short-term debt with affiliate.
 
The $35 million decrease in PPL Energy Supply's cash and cash equivalents position was primarily the net result of:
 
·
$391 million of capital expenditures;
·
distributions to Member of $373 million;
·
the payment of $220 million to retire $250 million aggregate principal amount of long-term debt;
·
$34 million in net expenditures for intangible assets;
·
$568 million of cash provided by operating activities;
·
a decrease of $190 million in restricted cash and cash equivalents;
·
proceeds of $150 million from the sale of short-term investments; and
·
an increase of $142 million in short-term debt.
 
Auction Rate Securities
 
PPL Energy Supply's investment in auction rate securities continues to be impacted by auction failures and the resulting illiquidity in 2009.  PPL Energy Supply held auction rate securities with an aggregate par value of $24 million at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.  PPL Energy Supply concluded that the fair value of its auction rate securities was $15 million at June 30, 2009 and $19 million at December 31, 2008, a temporary decline of $9 million and $5 million from par value.  Based upon the evaluation of available information, PPL Energy Supply believes these investments continue to be of high credit quality.  PPL Energy Supply believes it will not be required to sell these securities, including to fund operations, and does not intend to sell these securities until they can be liquidated at par value. Therefore, PPL Energy Supply believes it does not have significant exposure to realize losses on these securities, and none of the decline in fair value is attributable to credit loss and therefore is deemed temporary due to general market conditions and has not been recognized in earnings.  During the second quarter of 2009, PPL Energy Supply liquidated an insignificant amount of these securities at par.  See Notes 13 and 18 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of auction rate securities.

In March 2009, PPL Energy Supply's 364-day bilateral credit facility was amended.  The amendment included extending the expiration date from March 2009 to March 2010 and reducing the capacity from $300 million to $200 million.
 
The commitments under PPL Energy Supply's domestic credit facilities are provided by a diverse bank group consisting of 23 banks, with no one bank providing more than 15% of the total committed capacity.
 
PPL Energy Supply currently plans to renew its $385 million 364-day syndicated credit facility that expires in September 2009.
(b)
 
In July 2009, WPD (South West) terminated its £150 million five-year syndicated credit facility, which was to expire in October 2009, and replaced it with a new £210 million three-year syndicated credit facility expiring in July 2012.  Under the new facility, WPD (South West) has the ability to make cash borrowings but cannot cause the lenders to issue letters of credit.  Borrowings under this facility bear interest at LIBOR-based rates plus a margin.  The new facility contains financial covenants that require WPD (South West) to maintain an interest coverage ratio of not less than 3.0 times consolidated earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization and total net debt not in excess of 85% of its regulatory asset base, in each case calculated in accordance with the credit facility.
(c)
 
At June 30, 2009, the unused capacity of WPD's committed credit facilities was approximately $145 million.
 
See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of PPL Energy Supply's credit facilities.
 
Commercial Paper
 
As discussed below under "Rating Agency Decisions," S&P lowered its rating on PPL Energy Supply's commercial paper to A-3 from A-2 in January 2009.  Since PPL Energy Supply did not expect to need to issue any commercial paper during 2009 and there is essentially no liquidity in commercial paper markets for paper with an A-3 rating, PPL Energy Supply closed its commercial paper program in January 2009 and requested that Moody's, S&P and Fitch each withdraw their ratings on its commercial paper program, which each rating agency subsequently did.
 
Financing Activities
 
In March 2009, PPL Energy Supply completed tender offers to purchase up to $250 million aggregate principal amount of certain of its outstanding senior notes in order to reduce future interest expense.  Pursuant to the offers, PPL Energy Supply purchased approximately $100 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.00% Senior Notes due 2036 for $77 million, plus accrued interest, and approximately $150 million aggregate principal amount of its 6.20% Senior Notes due 2016 for $143 million, plus accrued interest.  See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for further discussion.  Under the Economic Stimulus Package, PPL Energy Supply will be permitted to defer recognition of income related to the extinguishment of these notes for tax purposes.  No amounts will be included in taxable income for the first five years.  Beginning in 2014, income related to the extinguishment of these notes will be included in taxable income ratably over five years.
 
In April 2009, the PEDFA issued $231 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Refunding Bonds, Series 2009A and 2009B due 2038 and Series 2009C due 2037 (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project), on behalf of PPL Energy Supply.  The Series 2009A bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $100 million, and the Series 2009B bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $50 million, were issued by the PEDFA in order to refund $150 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2008A and 2008B (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) due 2038 that were issued by the PEDFA in December 2008 on behalf of PPL Energy Supply, and for which PPL Investment Corp. acted as initial purchaser.  The Series 2009C bonds, in an aggregate principal amount of $81 million, were issued in order to refund $81 million aggregate principal amount of Exempt Facilities Revenue Bonds, Series 2007 (PPL Energy Supply, LLC Project) due 2037 that were issued by the PEDFA in December 2007 on behalf of PPL Energy Supply.  Among other things, the completed refundings were able to take advantage of provisions in the Economic Stimulus Package that eliminated the application of the AMT to interest payable on the refinanced indebtedness.  The refundings of the bonds were effected by the ultimate distribution of $231 million by the PEDFA to the bond holders, including PPL Investment Corp.  As a result of the refundings of the bonds, PPL Investment Corp. received proceeds of $150 million, which is reflected as a cash flow from investing activities on the Statement of Cash Flows for PPL and PPL Energy Supply for the six months ended June 30, 2009.
 
The Series 2009A, 2009B and 2009C bonds are structured as variable-rate remarketable bonds.  PPL Energy Supply may convert the interest rate mode on the bonds from time to time to a commercial paper rate, daily rate, weekly rate or a term rate of at least one year.  The bonds are subject to mandatory purchase under certain circumstances, including upon conversion to a different interest rate mode, and are subject to mandatory redemption upon a determination that the interest on the bonds would be included in the holders' gross income for federal tax purposes.  The Series 2009A bonds bore interest at an initial rate of 0.90% through June 30, 2009.  The Series 2009B bonds bear interest at an initial rate of 1.25% through September 30, 2009.  The Series 2009C bonds are in a weekly interest rate mode, bearing interest at 0.30% at June 30, 2009.
 
In connection with the issuance of each series of bonds by the PEDFA, PPL Energy Supply entered into separate loan agreements with the PEDFA pursuant to which the PEDFA loaned to PPL Energy Supply the proceeds of the Series 2009A, Series 2009B and Series 2009C bonds on payment terms that correspond to those of the bonds.  PPL Energy Supply issued separate promissory notes to the PEDFA to evidence its obligations under each of the loan agreements.  These loan agreements and promissory notes replaced those associated with the refunded 2007 and 2008 PEDFA bonds in a non-cash transaction that is excluded from the Statement of Cash Flows.
 
Concurrent with the issuance of each series of bonds, separate letters of credit, totaling $237 million, were issued under PPL Energy Supply's $3.2 billion five-year syndicated credit facility to the trustee in support of each series of bonds.  The letters of credit permit the trustee to draw amounts to pay principal of and interest on, and the purchase price of, the Series 2009A, Series 2009B and Series 2009C bonds when due.  PPL Energy Supply is required to reimburse any draws on the letters of credit within one business day of such draw.
 
PPL Energy Supply elected to change the interest rate mode on the Series 2009A bonds to a commercial paper rate mode upon expiration of the initial rate period.  As such, in July 2009, the Series 2009A bonds were remarketed in a commercial paper rate mode and bear interest at 0.90% through December 9, 2009, at which time the bonds will be remarketed based upon an interest rate mode elected by PPL Energy Supply.  In connection with this change, the letter of credit supporting the Series 2009A bonds was modified accordingly.
 
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.
 
In January 2009, S&P completed a review of PPL Energy Supply, upon which it revised its outlook to negative from stable and affirmed its BBB issuer rating.  As a result of the negative outlook, S&P lowered PPL Energy Supply's commercial paper rating to A-3 from A-2.  S&P stated in its press release that the revision in the outlook for PPL Energy Supply is based primarily on lower than expected cash flows for 2008 combined with concerns over further pressure on financial metrics in 2009.
 
At the request of PPL Energy Supply, Fitch, in January 2009, and Moody's and S&P, in February 2009, each withdrew their commercial paper rating for PPL Energy Supply.
 
In February 2009, S&P revised its outlook to negative from stable for each of WPDH Limited, WPD LLP, WPD (South Wales) and WPD (South West) and affirmed the issuer and short-term debt ratings of each of the entities.  S&P stated in its press release that the revision in the outlook is a reflection of the change to PPL's outlook to negative from stable and is not a result from any change in WPD's stand-alone credit profile.
 
In May 2009, Moody's completed a review of PPL Energy Supply and affirmed the Baa2 senior unsecured rating and stable outlook of PPL Energy Supply.
 
Ratings Triggers
 
PPL Energy Supply has various derivative and non-derivative contracts, including contracts for the sale and purchase of electricity and fuel, commodity transportation and storage, and tolling agreements, which contain provisions requiring PPL Energy Supply to post additional collateral, or permit the counterparty to terminate the contract, if PPL Energy Supply's credit rating were to fall below investment grade.  See Note 14 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of "Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features," including a discussion of the potential additional collateral that would have been required for derivative contracts in a net liability position at June 30, 2009.  At June 30, 2009, if PPL Energy Supply's credit rating had been below investment grade, PPL Energy Supply would have been required to post an additional $303 million of collateral to counterparties for both derivative and non-derivative commodity and commodity-related contracts used in its generation, marketing and trading operations and interest rate and foreign currency contracts.

PPL Energy Supply's capital expenditure projections for the years 2009-2013 total $6 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 2008 Form 10-K, primarily due to PPL's April 2009 announcement that it filed a new application with the FERC for approval to expand the capacity of its Holtwood hydroelectric plant by 125 MW.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
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 2008 Form 10-K.
 
Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other
 
Market Risk
 
Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)
 
PPL Energy Supply segregates its non-trading activities into two categories:  hedge activity and economic activity.  Transactions that are accounted for as hedge activity qualify for hedge accounting treatment.  The economic activity category includes transactions that address a specific risk, but were not eligible for hedge accounting or for which hedge accounting was not elected.  Although they do not receive hedge accounting treatment, these transactions are considered non-trading activity.  The net fair value of economic positions at June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008 was a net asset of $7 million and a net liability of $52 million.
 
To hedge the impact of market price fluctuations on PPL Energy Supply's energy-related assets, liabilities and other contractual arrangements discussed above, PPL EnergyPlus sells and purchases physical energy at the wholesale level under FERC market-based tariffs throughout the U.S. and enters into financial exchange-traded and over-the-counter contracts.  PPL Energy Supply's non-trading commodity derivative contracts mature at various times through 2017.
 
The following table sets forth changes in the net fair value of PPL Energy Supply's non-trading commodity derivative contracts.  See Notes 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements for additional information.

Because of PPL Energy Supply's efforts to hedge the value of 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, nonperformance 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 nonperformance in the future.

VaR Models
 
PPL Energy Supply utilizes a VaR model to measure commodity price risk in domestic gross energy margins for its non-trading and trading portfolios.  This approach is consistent with how PPL's RMC assesses the market risk of its commodity business.  VaR is a statistical model that attempts to estimate the value of potential loss over a given holding period under normal market conditions at a given confidence level.  PPL Energy Supply calculates VaR using a Monte Carlo simulation technique based on a five-day holding period at a 95% confidence level.  On June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the VaR for PPL Energy Supply's portfolios using end-of-quarter results for the period was as follows:

The trading portfolio includes all speculative positions, regardless of delivery period.  All positions not considered speculative are considered non-trading.  PPL Energy Supply's non-trading portfolio includes PPL Energy Supply's entire portfolio, including generation, with delivery periods through the next 12 months.  Both the trading and non-trading VaR computations exclude FTRs due to the absence of liquid spot and forward markets.  The fair value of the FTR positions at June 30, 2009 was an unrealized loss of $3 million, as follows:

The amount of trading losses expected to be realized in the next three months is insignificant.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries have issued debt to finance their operations, which exposes them to interest rate risk.  PPL and PPL Energy Supply utilize various financial derivative instruments 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 benchmark interest rates 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, 2009, PPL Energy Supply's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was $1 million.
 
PPL Energy Supply is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its domestic and international debt portfolios.  PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% decrease in interest rates at June 30, 2009 would increase the fair value of its debt portfolio by $196 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, 2009, 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.  The change in fair value of these instruments, as well as the offsetting change in the value of the hedged exposure of the debt, is reflected in earnings.  At June 30, 2009, PPL Energy Supply had none of these instruments outstanding.
 
WPDH Limited holds a net notional position in cross-currency swaps totaling $302 million to hedge the interest payments and principal of its U.S. dollar-denominated senior notes with maturity dates ranging from December 2017 to December 2028.  While PPL Energy Supply is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any change in the fair value of these instruments is recorded in equity and reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the item being hedged affects earnings.  The estimated fair value of this position, including accrued interest, at June 30, 2009 was a net asset of $14 million.  WPDH Limited estimated that a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates at June 30, 2009 would decrease the net asset by $40 million.
 
Foreign Currency Risk
 
PPL Energy Supply is exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily through investments in U.K. affiliates.  In addition, PPL Energy Supply's domestic operations 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 Energy Supply enters into financial instruments to protect against foreign currency translation risk of expected earnings.
 
To protect the value of a portion of PPL Energy Supply's net investment in WPD, PPL executed forward contracts to sell British pounds sterling.  The total notional amount of the contracts outstanding at June 30, 2009 was £55 million.  The settlement dates of these contracts range from September 2009 through June 2011.  At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these positions was a net asset of $18 million.  PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates at June 30, 2009 would decrease the net asset by $9 million.
 
To economically hedge the translation of 2009 expected income denominated in British pounds sterling to U.S. dollars, PPL entered into a combination of average rate forwards and average rate options to sell British pounds sterling.  At June 30, 2009, the total exposure hedged was £61 million.  These forwards and options have termination dates ranging from July 2009 through December 2009.  At June 30, 2009, the fair value of these positions was a net liability of $9 million.  PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in foreign currency exchange rates at June 30, 2009 would increase the net liability by $8 million.
 
NDT 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.  At June 30, 2009, these funds were invested primarily in domestic equity securities and fixed-rate, fixed-income securities.  These securities are reflected at fair value on PPL Energy Supply's Balance Sheet.  The mix of securities is designed to provide returns sufficient 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 primarily exposed to changes in interest rates.  PPL actively monitors the investment performance and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with its NDT policy statement.  At June 30, 2009, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and a 10% decrease in equity prices would have resulted in an estimated $33 million reduction in the fair value of the trusts' assets.  See Notes 13 and 18 to the Financial Statements for additional information regarding the NDT funds.
 
Credit Risk
 
See Notes 11, 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements and "Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - Credit Risk" in PPL Energy Supply's 2008 Form 10-K for information on credit risk.
 
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 Energy Supply 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 208 MW, primarily at its existing generating facilities.  Offsetting the planned capacity increases is an expected reduction of 30 MW due to the anticipated sale of the majority of PPL Maine's hydroelectric generation business, for which PPL Maine signed a definitive agreement in July 2009.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information.
 
PPL Energy Supply continuously reexamines development projects based on market conditions and other factors to determine whether to proceed with the projects, sell, cancel or expand them, execute tolling agreements or pursue other options.
 
Environmental Matters
 
See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental matters.
 
New Accounting Standards
 
See Notes 2 and 20 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting standards adopted and 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, defined benefits, asset impairment, leasing, loss accruals, AROs and income tax uncertainties.  See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL Energy Supply's 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of each critical accounting policy.

 
Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
Overview
 
PPL Electric is an electricity delivery service provider in eastern and central Pennsylvania with headquarters in Allentown, Pennsylvania.  Refer to "Item 1. Business - Background" and "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Overview" in PPL Electric's 2008 Form 10-K for a description of its business, discussion of its strategy, and the risks and challenges that it faces in its business.  See "Forward-Looking Information," Note 10 to the Financial Statements and the remainder of Item 2 in this Form 10-Q, and "Item 1A. Risk Factors" and the rest of Item 7 in PPL Electric's 2008 Form 10-K for more information concerning the material risks and uncertainties that PPL Electric faces in its business and with respect to its future earnings.
 
Market Events
 
The recent conditions in the financial markets have been disruptive to the processes of managing credit risk, responding to liquidity needs, measuring financial instruments at fair value, and managing market price risk.  Bank credit capacity has been reduced and the cost of renewing or establishing new credit facilities has increased significantly, thereby making less certain businesses' ability to enter into long-term energy commitments or reliably estimate the longer-term cost and availability of credit.
 
Credit Risk
 
Credit risk is the risk that PPL Electric would incur a loss as a result of nonperformance by counterparties of their contractual obligations.  PPL Electric maintains credit policies and procedures to limit counterparty credit risk.  The recent conditions in the financial and commodity markets have generally increased PPL Electric's exposure to credit risk.  See Notes 11, 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements and "Risk Management - Credit Risk" in PPL Electric's 2008 Form 10-K for more information on credit risk.
 
Liquidity Risk
 
Despite the recent conditions in the financial and capital markets, external financing activities by domestic electric utilities are being completed, albeit at higher-than-historical interest rates.  PPL Electric expects to continue to have access to adequate sources of liquidity through operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, credit facilities and, from time to time, through the issuance of capital market securities.  See "Financial Condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources" for an expanded discussion of PPL Electric's liquidity position and a discussion of financing transactions.
 
Securities Price Risk
 
PPL Electric participates in and is allocated costs from defined benefit plans sponsored by PPL.  Declines in the market price of debt and equity securities result in unrealized losses that reduce the asset values of PPL's defined benefit plans.  PPL's pension plan had positive returns in the second quarter of 2009, thereby recovering a portion of the negative returns incurred in 2008 and the first quarter of 2009.  Determination of the funded status of defined benefit plans, contribution requirements and net periodic defined benefit costs for future years are subject to changes in various assumptions, in addition to the actual performance of the assets in the plans.  See "Application of Critical Accounting Policies - Defined Benefits" in PPL Electric's 2008 Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions and sensitivities regarding those assumptions.
 
The Economic Stimulus Package
 
The Economic Stimulus Package is intended to stimulate the U.S. economy through federal tax relief, expansion of unemployment benefits and other social stimulus provisions, domestic spending for education, health care and infrastructure, including the energy sector.  A portion of the benefits included in the Economic Stimulus Package are offered in the form of loan fee reductions, expanded loan guarantees and secondary market incentives.  Funds from the Economic Stimulus Package will be allocated to various federal agencies, such as the DOE, and will also be provided to state agencies through block grants.  The DOE plans to use a portion of the funds for smart grid and other efficiency-related programs, and has initiated a process for that purpose.  In July 2009, PPL Electric proposed to the DOE a $38 million project that would use smart grid technology to strengthen reliability, save energy and improve electric service for 60,000 Harrisburg, Pennsylvania area customers.  PPL Electric is requesting a DOE grant to provide half of the funding for this pilot program.  PPL Electric and its subsidiaries continue to review the Economic Stimulus Package's provisions to determine the impact on PPL Electric's transmission projects and other business-related activities.
 
The following information should be read in conjunction with PPL Electric's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes and with PPL Electric's 2008 Form 10-K.

Lower delivery revenues for both periods were primarily due to economic conditions including industrial customers scaling back on production and a true-up of the FERC formula-based transmission revenues recorded in the three months ended June 30, 2009.  See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information on the true-up.  In addition, during the second quarter of 2009, weather had an unfavorable impact on sales volumes.
   
·
Lower other operation and maintenance expense for the six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same period in 2008, primarily due to decreased contractor expenses in 2009 and higher storm costs in 2008, net of insurance recoveries.
   
·
Higher interest expense for both periods, primarily due to $400 million of debt issuances in 2008 that prefund a portion of 2009 debt maturities.

Earnings Outlook
 
Excluding special items, PPL Electric projects lower earnings in 2009 compared with 2008, primarily due to higher financing costs, lower electricity delivery revenues and higher operation and maintenance expenses.
 
See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of items that could impact earnings beyond 2009, including the PUC-approved plan to procure default electricity supply for 2010 through May 2013, Pennsylvania legislative updates and other regulatory activities.

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 $10 million and $18 million in wholesale electric to affiliate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008, were primarily due to the expiration of two NUG contracts during 2008.  Substantially all of the remaining NUG contracts will expire by 2010.
 
Energy Purchases
 
The decreases of $13 million and $22 million in energy purchases for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008, were primarily due to the expiration of two NUG contracts in 2008 (substantially all of the remaining NUG contracts will expire by 2010), as well as lower ancillary charges, which are primarily the result of lower pricing.
 
Energy Purchases from Affiliate
 
Energy purchases from affiliate decreased by $17 million and $9 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The decreases were attributable to unfavorable weather during the second quarter of 2009 and the impact of economic conditions primarily on industrial customers, partially offset by higher prices for energy purchased under the power supply contracts with PPL EnergyPlus that were needed to support that load.
 
Other Operation and Maintenance
 
The changes in other operation and maintenance expenses were due to:

Amortization of Recoverable Transition Costs
 
Amortization of recoverable transition costs increased by $2 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The amortization of recoverable transition costs is based on a PUC amortization schedule, adjusted for ITC and CTC recoveries in customer rates and related expenses.  Since the amortization substantially matches the revenue recorded based on recovery in customer rates, there is minimal impact on earnings.
 
Taxes, Other Than Income
 
Taxes, other than income decreased by $2 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009, compared with the same periods in 2008.  The decreases were primarily due to a decrease in Pennsylvania gross receipts tax, which was attributable to the decline in delivery volumes.

Financial Condition
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
PPL Electric continues to focus on maintaining a strong credit profile and liquidity position during the disruptive conditions in the financial markets and historically difficult bank and capital market conditions.  PPL Electric expects to continue to have adequate liquidity available through operating cash flows, cash and cash equivalents, its credit facilities and, as necessary, the issuance of capital market securities.
 
PPL Electric had the following at:

The $37 million increase in PPL Electric's cash and cash equivalents position was primarily the net result of:
 
·
proceeds of $298 million from the issuance of long-term debt;
·

The commitments under this credit facility are currently provided by a diverse bank group consisting of 20 banks, with no one bank providing more than 18% of the total committed capacity.
(b)
 
At June 30, 2009, based on accounts receivable and unbilled revenue pledged, $150 million was available for borrowing under the asset-backed credit facility.  In July 2009, PPL Electric and a subsidiary extended the expiration date of the credit agreement related to the asset-backed commercial paper program to July 2010.
 
See Note 7 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of PPL Electric's credit facilities.
 
Commercial Paper
 
Market conditions to issue commercial paper with ratings of P-2, A-2 and F-2 by Moody's, S&P and Fitch have improved since 2008.  However, they continue to be impacted by the volatility experienced in the broader financial markets.  Based on its current cash position and anticipated cash flows, PPL Electric currently does not expect to need to issue any commercial paper during 2009, but it may do so from time to time to facilitate short-term cash flow needs.
 
Financing Activities
 
In May 2009, PPL Electric issued $300 million of 6.25% First Mortgage Bonds due 2039 (6.25% Bonds).  The 6.25% Bonds may be redeemed any time prior to maturity at PPL Electric's option at make-whole redemption prices.  PPL Electric received proceeds of $296 million, net of a discount and underwriting fees, from the issuance of the 6.25% Bonds.  Approximately $86 million of the proceeds will be used to partially fund the repayment at maturity of approximately $486 million outstanding aggregate principal amount of PPL Electric's Senior Secured Bonds, 6-1/4% Series, due August 2009.  The balance of such repayment will be funded from the issuance in October 2008 of $400 million of 7.125% Senior Secured Bonds due 2013.  The balance of the proceeds from the issuance of the 6.25% Bonds is being used for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures.
 
In June 2009, PPL Electric repaid its $9 million obligation under a Variable Rate Pollution Control Facilities Note in connection with the early redemption in full of the underlying pollution control revenue bonds that were issued by the Indiana County Industrial Development Authority and due in June 2027.
 
Rating Agency Decisions
 
Moody's, S&P and Fitch periodically review the credit ratings on the debt and preferred securities of PPL Electric.  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 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.  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 credit ratings could result in higher borrowing costs and reduced access to capital markets.
 
In January 2009, S&P completed a review of PPL Electric, upon which it revised its outlook to negative from stable and affirmed the A- issuer rating of PPL Electric.  S&P stated in its press release that the revision in its outlook reflects the linkage with PPL, whose outlook was also revised to negative from stable, along with their expectation that PPL Electric's financial metrics could weaken beginning in 2010.
 
In May 2009, Moody's completed a review of PPL Electric.  As a result of that review, Moody's revised its outlook for PPL Electric to negative from stable.  Moody's stated in its press release that the revision in the outlook for PPL Electric reflects Moody's expectation that PPL Electric's financial metrics will deteriorate beyond 2009 and considers the potential for additional pressure on cash flows.
 
Fitch did not take any actions related to PPL Electric during the six months ended June 30, 2009.

Risk Management
 
Market Risk
 
Commodity Price Risk - PLR Contracts through 2009
 
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 regarding credit risk associated with the PLR contracts with PPL EnergyPlus.
 
Commodity Price Risk - PLR Contracts Subsequent to 2009
 
PPL Electric will provide PLR service beginning January 1, 2010 under a PUC-approved plan through which PPL Electric will fully recover all incurred costs including administrative costs.  The plan covers the period through December 31, 2010.  Under the plan, PPL Electric has entered into various full-requirement power purchase agreements with multiple wholesale suppliers that include fixed prices.  As a result, PPL Electric has shifted any electric price risk relating to its PLR obligation to those wholesale suppliers through 2010.  In June 2009, PPL Electric received PUC approval of a plan with a similar structure, including cost recovery, covering the period from January 1, 2011 through May 31, 2013.  See Note 10 the Financial Statements for information on the PUC-approved procurement plan and other ongoing Pennsylvania regulatory and legislative activities.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
PPL Electric has issued debt to finance its operations, which exposes it to interest rate risk.  At June 30, 2009, PPL Electric's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was not significant.
 
PPL Electric is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its debt portfolio.  PPL Electric estimated that a 10% decrease in interest rates at June 30, 2009, would increase the fair value of its debt portfolio by $73 million.
 
Credit Risk
 
See Notes 11, 13 and 14 to the Financial Statements and "Risk Management - Credit Risk" in PPL Electric's 2008 Form 10-K for information on credit risk.
