PLR Contracts/Purchase of Accounts Receivable (PPL Electric)

PPL Electric holds competitive solicitations for PLR generation supply. PPL EnergyPlus has been awarded a portion of the PLR generation supply through these competitive solicitations. The purchases from PPL EnergyPlus are included in PPL Electric's Statements of Income as "Energy purchases from affiliate" through May 31, 2015, the period through which PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus were affiliated entities. As a result of the June 1, 2015 spinoff of PPL Energy Supply and creation of Talen Energy, PPL EnergyPlus (renamed Talen Energy Marketing) is no longer an affiliate of PPL Electric. PPL Electric's purchases from Talen Energy Marketing subsequent to May 31, 2015 are purchases from an unaffiliated third party.

Under the standard Default Service Supply Master Agreement for the solicitation process, PPL Electric requires all suppliers to post collateral once credit exposures exceed defined credit limits. Wholesale suppliers are required to post collateral with PPL Electric when: (a) the market price of electricity to be delivered by the wholesale suppliers exceeds the contract price for the forecasted quantity of electricity to be delivered; and (b) this market price exposure exceeds a contractual credit limit. In no instance is PPL Electric required to post collateral to suppliers under these supply contracts.

PPL Electric's customers may choose an alternative supplier for their generation supply. See Note 2 for additional information regarding PPL Electric's purchases of accounts receivable from alternative suppliers, including Talen Energy Marketing, formerly PPL EnergyPlus. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the spinoff of PPL Energy Supply.

Support Costs (PPL Electric, LKE, LG&E and KU)

PPL Services and LKS provide their respective PPL and LKE subsidiaries with administrative, management and support services. In 2015, PPL EU Services was formed to provide the majority of financial, supply chain, human resources and facilities management services primarily to PPL Electric. PPL Services will continue to provide certain corporate functions. For all service companies, the costs of these services are charged to the respective recipients as direct support costs. General costs that cannot be directly attributed to a specific entity are allocated and charged to the respective recipients as indirect support costs. PPL Services and PPL EU Services use a three-factor methodology that includes the applicable recipients' invested capital, operation and maintenance expenses and number of employees to allocate indirect costs. LKS bases its indirect allocations on the subsidiaries' number of employees, total assets, revenues, number of customers and/or other statistical information. PPL Services, PPL EU Services and LKS charged the following amounts for the periods ended June 30, and believe these amounts are reasonable, including amounts applied to accounts that are further distributed between capital and expense.

	Three Months				Six Months
	2015		2014		2015		2014

PPL Electric from PPL Services	$	25	$	38	$	55	$	79
LKE from PPL Services		4		4		8		8
PPL Electric from PPL EU Services		17				32

LG&E from LKS			53			57			104			105
KU from LKS			58			59			114			112

LG&E and KU also provide services to each other and to LKS. Billings between LG&E and KU relate to labor and overheads associated with union and hourly employees performing work for the other company, charges related to jointly-owned generating units and other miscellaneous charges. Tax settlements between LKE and LG&E and LKE and KU are reimbursed through LKS.

Intercompany Borrowings (LKE)

LKE maintains a $225 million revolving line of credit with a PPL Energy Funding subsidiary whereby LKE can borrow funds on a short-term basis at market-based rates. At June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, $59 million and $41 million were outstanding and were reflected in “Notes payable with affiliates” on the consolidated Balance Sheets. The interest rate on borrowings is equal to one-month LIBOR plus a spread. The interest rates on the outstanding borrowing at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 were 1.68% and 1.65%. Interest on the revolving line of credit was not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014.

Intercompany Derivatives (LKE, LG&E and KU)

Periodically, LG&E and KU enter into forward-starting interest rate swaps with PPL. These hedging instruments have terms identical to forward-starting swaps entered into by PPL with third parties. See Note 14 for additional information on intercompany derivatives.
