Miller Named PPL Chief Operating Officer;
Executive Vice President to Retire

    ALLENTOWN, Pa. (July 27, 2004) - PPL Corporation (NYSE: PPL) announced Tuesday (7/27) that James H. Miller, an electricity industry veteran with more than 30 years of diverse experience, will become the company's executive vice president and chief operating officer, effective Sept. 1. The company also announced that Lawrence E. De Simone, executive vice president, is retiring, effective the same date.
    Miller currently serves as executive vice president and president of PPL Generation and has responsibility for the company's generation and marketing operations. As chief operating officer, he will assume responsibility for PPL's Pennsylvania and international electricity delivery companies, in addition to his current responsibilities.
    "Larry De Simone has made major contributions to PPL in the six years that he has been part of our team. He was instrumental in the establishment of our successful energy marketing operation and of our Supply organization that now accounts for more than three-quarters of the company's earnings," said William F. Hecht, chairman, president and chief executive officer. "We thank Larry for his leadership and for serving as an excellent representative of PPL. We wish him health and happiness in his retirement."
    Miller, 55, has served as president of PPL's electricity generation company since 2001 and as executive vice president of PPL Corporation since late 2003.
    "With extensive experience in both the regulated and unregulated segments of the electricity business, Jim Miller is the ideal choice to step into a chief operating officer role for the company," said Hecht. "Jim's assumption of responsibility for our domestic and international delivery businesses allows us to consolidate our operations under a leader with proven operations background."
    In addition to the generation, marketing and electricity delivery businesses, Miller will have responsibility for the company's information services and environmental management departments.
    Hecht; Miller; John R. Biggar, executive vice president and chief financial officer; and Robert J. Grey, senior vice president and general counsel, will make up the company's executive management team.
    Replacing Miller as president of PPL Generation will be Bryce Shriver, who has served as senior vice president of the company's nuclear operation since 2002.
    "With the addition of Shriver as the president of one of the company's four major subsidiaries, Jim will have a superb executive team - a group with a solid record of outstanding performance over many years both at PPL and across the electricity business," said Hecht.
    Britt McKinney, who recently joined the company as vice president of nuclear site operations, will take over day-to-day responsibilities for the company's Susquehanna nuclear plant and report to Shriver, who will continue to serve as PPL Generation chief nuclear officer. Also reporting to Shriver will be Dennis Murphy, vice president and chief operating officer-Eastern Fossil & Hydro; and Brad Spencer, vice president and chief operating officer-Western Fossil & Hydro.

Previously, Miller was president of ABB Environmental Systems, a worldwide leader in the supply of air pollution control equipment for the power industry, and ABB Resource Recovery Systems, which specialized in the design, construction and operation of waste-to-energy plants. Miller also served as president of UC Operating Services, an unregulated subsidiary of Constellation Energy and Louisville Gas and Electric Co.
    He began his career in the electricity industry at the former Delmarva Power & Light Co., where he held various engineering and management positions. Miller received his bachelor's degree in electrical engineering from the University of Delaware. He also served in the U. S. Navy nuclear submarine program.
