Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

On September 3, 2015, the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission ("PUC") approved the Smart Meter Technology Procurement and Installation Plan ("SMP") submitted by PPL Electric Utilities Corporation ("PPL Electric") in June 2014. Pursuant to the SMP, as approved by the PUC, PPL Electric will replace all of its current meters with advanced meters that meet the requirements of Act 129 of 2008, which amended the Pennsylvania Public Utility Code ("Act 129"). Act 129 requires installation of smart meters for new construction, upon the request of customers and at their cost, or on a depreciation schedule not exceeding five years. Act 129 defined smart meter technology as being capable of bidirectional communication that records electricity usage on at least an hourly basis, including related electric distribution system upgrades. Full deployment of the new meters is expected to be completed by the end of 2019 at a total cost of approximately $450 million, of which approximately $328 million is expected to be capital and all of which is expected to be recovered through the smart meter rider previously approved by the PUC.
