Item 8.01            Other Events.

On October 13, 2006, Louisville Gas and Electric Company (the “Company”) submitted an application to the Kentucky Public Service Commission (the “Kentucky Commission”) seeking authorization for various potential financial transactions. Among other matters, the application includes a request for approval of certain funding arrangements which could provide a source of funds for the possible redemption of the Company’s three existing series of preferred stock.

The matters contained in the Kentucky Commission application, plus the possible redemption, remain subject to certain conditions or developments, such as the approval of the Kentucky Commission, future financial, economic or other market conditions, and further corporate approvals. The Company is currently unable to estimate the timing for completion, if any, of the various transactions. However, subject to the described conditions and developments, among others, it is possible that the various transactions, should they ultimately proceed, could be completed during the fourth quarter of 2006 or the first quarter of 2007.

The Company currently has issued and outstanding the following series of preferred stock: 860,287 shares of 5% cumulative preferred stock (par value $25 per share), 200,000 shares of $5.875 cumulative preferred stock (without par value) and 500,000 shares of auction rate, series A, cumulative preferred stock (without par value). A possible redemption of such preferred stock, should it occur, would be conducted in accordance with existing redemption provisions in the Company’s Amended and Restated Articles of Incorporation applicable to each series of preferred stock.

Statements made in this report that state the Company’s or management’s intentions, expectations or predictions of the future are forward-looking statements. The Company’s actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements, and there can be no assurance that estimates of future results will be achieved. The Company’s SEC filings contain additional information concerning factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements.
