EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends PPL Electric Utilities Corporation's (“PPL Electric”) Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 25, 2010 (“Original Filing”).  We are filing this Amendment to amend information required by Part III and not included in the Original Filing, as we will not be filing or mailing a definitive information statement or notice of annual meeting to shareowners of record as of February 26, 2010 due to the redemption that was effective April 15, 2010 of all the outstanding shares of five separate series of PPL Electric’s preferred stock.  As a result of this redemption, all of the outstanding voting stock of PPL Electric is owned by PPL Corporation (PPL Electric’s parent).  The reference on the cover of the Original Filing to the incorporation by reference of our definitive information statement into Part III of the Original Filing is hereby deleted.  In addition, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), new certifications by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer are filed as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof.

For purposes of this Amendment, and in accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, Items 10 through 14 and 15(a)(3) of the Original Filing have been amended and restated in their entirety.  PPL Electric meets the conditions set forth in General Instructions (I)(1)(a) and (b) of Form 10-K and is therefore filing this form with the reduced disclosure format.  Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing.  Our Original Filing continues to speak as of the date of its filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events which occurred at a date subsequent to that date.

Approval of Fees The Audit Committee of PPL has procedures for pre-approving audit and non-audit services to be provided by the independent auditor.  These procedures are designed to ensure the continued independence of the independent auditor.  More specifically, the use of the independent auditor to perform either audit or non-audit services is prohibited unless specifically approved in advance by the Audit Committee of PPL.  As a result of this approval process, the Audit Committee of PPL has pre-approved specific categories of services and authorization levels.  All services outside of the specified categories and all amounts exceeding the authorized levels are reviewed a nd pre-approved by the Chair of the Audit Committee of PPL, who serves as the Committee designee to review and pre-approve audit and non-audit related services during the year.  A listing of the approved audit and non-audit services is reviewed with the full Audit Committee of PPL no later than its next meeting.

The Audit Committee of PPL pre-approved 100% of the 2009 and 2008 services provided by EY.
