FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

DPL COMPLETES ENVIRONMENTAL PROJECT AT KILLEN STATION

— First to Deploy New Technology for Cleaner Air—

DAYTON, Ohio, June 7, 2007 — DPL Inc. (NYSE: DPL) today announced that its principal operating subsidiary, The Dayton Power and Light Company (DP&L), successfully completed the installation of flue gas desulfurization (FGD) equipment at the 615 megawatt Killen Station located in Wrightsville, Ohio.

“This project represents DP&L’s commitment to deploy leading edge technology to generate low cost electricity from coal for our customers and at the same time improve the air quality for the region,” said DPL President and Chief Executive Officer Paul Barbas.

DP&L is the first major utility in North America to install this innovative technology, developed by Chiyoda Corporation of Japan, and this is the first commercial application ever in the Western Hemisphere. The project was completed on schedule despite a challenging labor and materials market. In addition, the installed cost per megawatt is below the industry average for desulfurization projects.

The FGD unit, also referred to as a scrubber, will remove almost all of the sulfur dioxide from the emissions at Killen Station. In addition, the scrubber, in conjunction with Killen’s existing electrostatic precipitator, will capture significant mercury and fine particulate emissions.

In 2004, DP&L completed the installation of selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology to meet its commitment to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions.

DP&L is in the process of installing the same FGD technology at the 2,388 megawatt Stuart Station in Aberdeen, Ohio. DP&L owns 2,800 megawatts of coal fired generating capacity, and by mid-year 2009, approximately 80 percent will be “scrubbed.” The cost of FGD and SCR environmental technology at Stuart and Killen stations totals more than $1 billion.

Sulfur dioxide is viewed as a leading cause of acid rain, and nitrogen oxide is a precursor to ozone or smog.
