Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations
Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 14, 2004, PPL Sundance Energy, LLC ("PPL Sundance") and Arizona Public Service Company ("APS") amended the Asset Purchase Agreement dated as of June 1, 2004 (the "Asset Purchase Agreement"), relating to the sale by PPL Sundance to APS of the assets comprising the 450 MW Sundance power plant located in Pinal County, Arizona. PPL Sundance is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply, LLC ("PPL Energy Supply"), which is an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of PPL Corporation ("PPL"). See Note 8 to the Financial Statements in PPL's Quarterly Report to the Securities Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2004, for additional information concerning the potential sale, and see Exhibit 10(a) to PPL's Quarterly Report to the SEC on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended June 30, 2004, for a copy of the Asset Purchase Agreement.

Under the Asset Purchase Agreement, the purchase and sale of the power plant assets are subject to the receipt of various state and federal regulatory approvals, including the approval by the Arizona Corporation Commission (the "ACC"). The Asset Purchase Agreement as in effect prior to the amendment provided that either party could terminate the agreement on or before January 10, 2005, if the ACC did not issue an order on or before December 31, 2004, approving, among other things, the purchase of the power plant assets by APS. PPL Sundance and APS have amended the Asset Purchase Agreement to provide that either party may terminate the agreement on or before January 31, 2005, if the ACC does not issue such order on or before January 21, 2005. A copy of the amendment to the Asset Purchase Agreement is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot predict whether or when the regulatory approvals for this transaction will be obtained, and whether or when this transaction will be consummated.
