Section 7 - Regulation FD
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
On August 2, 2005, members of senior management of PPL Corporation ("PPL" or the "Company") met with financial analysts in New York City to discuss the Company’s second quarter 2005 financial results and the Company’s strategy and general business outlook, including the Company’s earnings forecasts. The Company also issued a press release on August 2, 2005 relating to these business matters. The presentation slides used at the August 2 meeting and the press release are available at the Company’s Internet Web site: www.pplweb.com, and the slides and the press release were each included as an exhibit to separate Form 8-Ks furnished by the Company to the SEC on August 2.
On August 31 and throughout September 2005, representatives of PPL plan to meet with analysts and investors in various locations. Unless it publicly discloses otherwise, the Company expects that during these meetings it will reaffirm its earnings and other forecasts announced at the August 2 meeting and in the August 2 press release.


Statements in the August 2 presentation slides and the August 2 press release regarding future performance, including statements with respect to future earnings, are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although PPL Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: market demand and prices for energy, capacity and fuel; market prices for crude oil and the potential impact on synthetic fuel tax credits and our synthetic fuel operations; weather conditions affecting customer energy usage and operating costs; competition in power markets; the effect of any business or industry restructuring; the profitability and liquidity of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; new accounting requirements or new interpretations or applications of existing requirements; operating performance of plants and other facilities; environmental conditions and requirements and the related costs of compliance, including environmental capital expenditures and emission allowance and other expenses; system conditions and operating costs; development of new projects, markets and technologies; performance of new ventures; asset acquisitions and dispositions; political, regulatory or economic conditions in states, regions and countries where PPL Corporation or its subsidiaries conduct business; receipt of necessary government permits, approvals and rate relief; capital market conditions and decisions regarding capital structure; the impact of state, federal or foreign investigations applicable to PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; the outcome of litigation against PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; stock price performance; the market prices of equity securities and the impact on pension income and resultant cash funding requirements for defined benefit pension plans; the securities and credit ratings of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries; political, regulatory or economic conditions in states, regions or countries where PPL Corporation or its subsidiaries conduct business, including any potential effects of threatened or actual terrorism or war or other hostilities; foreign exchange rates; new state, federal or foreign legislation, including new tax legislation; and the commitments and liabilities of PPL Corporation and its subsidiaries. Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation's Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
