New factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in forward-looking statements emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for PPL, PPL Energy Supply or PPL Electric to predict all of such factors, or the extent to which any such factor or combination of factors may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statement.

Combined Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

Terms and abbreviations appearing in Combined Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements are explained in the glossary. Dollars are in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted.

1.   Interim Financial Statements

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X and, therefore, do not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (including normal, recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. are reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. The Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2004, is derived from each Registrant's 2004 audited Balance Sheet. The financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes contained in each Registrant's 2004 Form 10-K. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year ending December 31, 2005, or other future periods, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and seasonal variations.

Certain amounts in the June 30, 2004, and December 31, 2004, financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the presentation in the June 30, 2005, financial statements. The reclassification of operating losses of the Sundance plant from certain line items on the Statement of Income to "Loss from Discontinued Operations" is the most significant reclassification. See Note 8 for further discussion.

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The following accounting policy disclosures represent updates to the "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" Note in each Registrant's 2004 Form 10-K.

Depreciation(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL subsidiaries periodically review the useful lives of their fixed assets. In light of significant planned environmental capital expenditures, PPL Generation conducted studies of the useful lives of Montour Units 1 and 2 and Brunner Island Unit 3 during the first quarter of 2005. Based on these studies, the useful lives of these units were extended from 2025 to 2035, effective January 1, 2005. The effect of this change for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, was to increase net income, as a result of lower depreciation, by approximately $1 million and $3 million.

In the second quarter of 2005, PPL Generation conducted additional studies of the useful lives of certain eastern fossil-fuel and hydroelectric generation plants. The most significant change related to the useful lives of Brunner Island Units 1 and 2 and Martins Creek Units 3 and 4, which were extended from 2025 to 2035. Effective July 1, 2005, PPL Generation implemented the new useful lives for all generation assets included in the study.

Goodwill(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

The change in the carrying amount of "Goodwill," as shown on the Balance Sheet, was due to the effect of foreign exchange rates.

Stock-Based Compensation (PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Effective January 1, 2003, PPL and its subsidiaries prospectively adopted the fair value method of accounting for stock-based compensation. If the fair value method had been used to account for all outstanding stock-based compensation awards in both periods, there would not have been a material impact on reported net income and EPS.

In SFAS 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," the FASB provided additional guidance on the requirement to accelerate expense recognition for employees who are at or near retirement age and who are under a plan that allows for accelerated vesting upon an employee's retirement. Such guidance is relevant to prior accounting for stock-based compensation under other accounting guidance. PPL's stock-based compensation plans allow for accelerated vesting upon an employee's retirement. Thus, for employees who are retirement eligible when stock-based awards are granted, PPL will recognize the expense immediately. For employees who are not retirement eligible when stock-based awards are granted, PPL will amortize the awards over the shorter of the vesting period or the period up to the employee's attainment of retirement age. Retirement eligible has been defined by PPL as the early retirement age of 55. See Note 16 for a discussion of SFAS 123 (revised 2004).

(PPL)

In the first quarter of 2005, PPL recorded a charge of approximately $10 million after tax, or $0.06 per share, to accelerate stock-based compensation expense for retirement-eligible employees. Approximately $5 million of the after-tax total, or $0.03 per share, was related to periods prior to 2005. The prior period amounts were not material to previously issued financial statements.

(PPL Energy Supply)

In the first quarter of 2005, PPL Energy Supply recorded a charge of approximately $7 million after tax to accelerate stock-based compensation expense for retirement-eligible employees. Approximately $3 million of the after-tax total was related to periods prior to 2005. The prior period amounts were not material to previously issued financial statements.

(PPL Electric)

In the first quarter of 2005, PPL Electric recorded a charge of approximately $3 million after tax to accelerate stock-based compensation expense for retirement-eligible employees. Approximately $2 million of the after-tax total was related to periods prior to 2005. The prior period amounts were not material to previously issued financial statements.

New Accounting Standards(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

See Note 16 for information on new accounting standards pending adoption.

3.   Segment and Related Information

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

See the "Segment and Related Information" Note in each Registrant's 2004 Form 10-K for a discussion of reportable segments. As of June 30, 2005, there were no changes to the reportable segments except that the segments were renamed to more specifically describe their businesses. The reportable segments are now Supply, International Delivery (formerly International) and Pennsylvania Delivery (formerly Delivery).

4.   Earnings Per Share

(PPL)

Basic EPS is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using weighted-average shares outstanding that are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock. Potentially dilutive securities consist of:

· stock options, restricted stock and restricted stock units granted under the incentive compensation plans;

· stock units representing common stock granted under the directors compensation programs;

· common stock purchase contracts that were a component of the PEPS Units and PEPS Units, Series B; and

· convertible senior notes.

The basic and diluted EPS calculations, and the reconciliation of the shares (in thousands) used in the calculations, are shown below:

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2005		2004		2005		2004
Income (Numerator)
Income from continuing operations		$	177	$	155	$	347	$	337

	Loss from discontinued operations (net of income taxes)		0.26		0.04		0.27		0.07
Net Income		$	0.67	$	0.81	$	1.56	$	1.80
Diluted EPS
Income from continuing operations		$	0.92	$	0.85	$	1.81	$	1.86
	Loss from discontinued operations (net of income taxes)		0.25		0.04		0.26		0.06
Net Income		$	0.67	$	0.81	$	1.55	$	1.80

In May 2001, PPL and PPL Capital Funding Trust I issued 23 million PEPS Units that contained a purchase contract component for PPL's common stock. The purchase contracts were only dilutive if the average price of PPL's common stock exceeded a threshold appreciation price, which was adjusted for cash distributions on PPL common stock. The threshold appreciation price was initially set at $65.03 and was adjusted to $63.38 as of April 1, 2004, based on dividends paid on PPL's common stock since issuance. The purchase contracts were settled in May 2004. Since the average price did not exceed the threshold appreciation price, the purchase contracts were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations for 2004.

In January 2004, PPL completed an exchange offer resulting in the exchange of approximately four million PEPS Units for PEPS Units, Series B. The primary difference in the units related to the debt component. The purchase contract components of both units, which were potentially dilutive, were identical. The threshold appreciation price for the purchase contract component of the PEPS Units, Series B was adjusted in the same manner as that of the PEPS Units and was $63.38 as a result of the adjustment as of April 1, 2004. These purchase contracts were settled in May 2004. Since the average price did not exceed the threshold appreciation price, the purchase contracts were excluded from the diluted EPS calculations for 2004.

In May 2003, PPL Energy Supply issued $400 million of 2-5/8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023. Based on the terms at the time of issuance, the Convertible Senior Notes could be settled entirely in cash or shares of PPL common stock. The notes were modified in November 2004 to require cash settlement of the principal amount, permit settlement of any conversion premium in cash or stock and eliminate a provision that required settlement in stock in the event of default. These modifications were made in response to the FASB's ratification in October 2004 of EITF Issue 04-8, "The Effect of Contingently Convertible Instruments on Diluted Earnings per Share," as well as other anticipated rules relating to EPS. EITF Issue 04-8 requires contingently convertible instruments to be included in diluted EPS. It also requires restatement of prior-period diluted EPS, in certain circumstances, based upon the terms of the contingently convertible instruments as of the date of adoption, which was December 31, 2004, for PPL.

Based upon the current conversion rate of 20.1106 shares per $1,000 principal of notes, the Convertible Senior Notes will have a dilutive impact when the average market price of PPL common stock exceeds the conversion price of $49.73. The Convertible Senior Notes did not have a dilutive impact on EPS for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

The maximum number of shares that could potentially be issued to settle the conversion premium, based upon the current conversion rate, is 8,044,240 shares. Based on PPL's common stock price at June 30, 2005, the conversion premium equated to 1,307,965 shares, or approximately $78 million.

The following number of stock options to purchase PPL common shares were excluded in the periods' computations of diluted EPS because the effect would have been antidilutive.

	Three Months Ended June 30,		Six Months Ended June 30,
(Thousands of Shares)	2005	2004	2005	2004
Antidilutive stock options		1,153	402	1,526

See Note 17 for a discussion of PPL's 2-for-1 stock split to be completed in August 2005.

In October 2004, President Bush signed the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 (the Act). The Act creates a temporary incentive for U.S. corporations to repatriate accumulated income earned abroad by providing an 85% dividends received deduction for certain dividends from controlled foreign corporations. During the second quarter of 2005, PPL concluded that it does not anticipate repatriating foreign earned income subject to the Act.

The Act also provides, beginning in 2005, a tax deduction from income for certain qualified domestic production activities. FSP FAS 109-1, "Application of FASB Statement No. 109, 'Accounting for Income Taxes', to the Tax Deduction on Qualified Production Activities Provided by the American Jobs Creation Act of 2004," specifies that this tax deduction will be treated as a special deduction and not as a tax rate reduction. During the first quarter of 2005, the Treasury Department and the IRS issued interim guidance related to the tax deduction. Based on the interim guidance, PPL and PPL Energy Supply estimate a tax benefit for the year 2005 of approximately $3 million.

Financing Activities

(PPL)

In April 2005, PPL Capital Funding retired all $320 million of its 7-3/4% Medium-term Notes due April 2005 upon maturity. The funds for the retirement were primarily obtained from PPL Energy Supply's August 2004 issuance of $300 million of 5.40% Senior Notes maturing in August 2014.

In July 2005, PPL Capital Funding retired $142 million of its 7.29% Subordinated Notes due May 2006 at a market value of $145 million. PPL will record a loss of $3 million related to this transaction in the third quarter of 2005.

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In December 2004, WPD borrowed £108 million (approximately $208 million at December 2004 exchange rates) under its credit facilities to retire $178 million of 6.75% Unsecured Bonds due December 2004 and settle the related $30 million cross-currency swap. The total amount is included on the Statement of Cash Flows as "Retirement of long-term debt." This bond retirement was recorded in January 2005, due to the one-month reporting lag.

At June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply had no commercial paper outstanding under its commercial paper program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply distributed $119 million to its parent company.

(PPL and PPL Electric)

At June 30, 2005, $111 million of accounts receivable and $122 million of unbilled revenue were pledged under the credit agreement related to PPL Electric's participation in an asset-backed commercial paper program. Also at this date, there was $87 million of short-term debt outstanding under the credit agreement at an interest rate of 3.2%, $42 million of which was being used to cash collateralize letters of credit issued on PPL Electric's behalf. At June 30, 2005, based on the accounts receivable and unbilled revenue pledged, an additional $50 million was available for borrowing. PPL Electric's sale to its subsidiary of the accounts receivable and unbilled revenue is an absolute sale of the assets, and PPL Electric does not retain an interest in these assets. However, for financial reporting purposes, the subsidiary's financial results are consolidated in PPL Electric's financial statements.

During the six months ended June 30, 2005, PPL Transition Bond Company made principal payments on transition bonds of $141 million.

At June 30, 2005, PPL Electric had no commercial paper outstanding under its commercial paper program.

In February 2005, the Lehigh County Industrial Development Authority (LCIDA) issued $116 million of 4.70% Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds due 2029 on behalf of PPL Electric. The proceeds of the LCIDA bonds were used in March 2005 to refund the LCIDA's $116 million of 6.40% Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds due 2029, previously issued on behalf of PPL Electric. A $2 million premium was paid to redeem these bonds, which is reflected in "Other Noncurrent Assets" and will be amortized over the life of the new debt, together with remaining unamortized deferred financing fees.

In May 2005, the LCIDA issued $108 million of 4.75% Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds due 2027 on behalf of PPL Electric. The proceeds of these LCIDA bonds were used in June 2005 to refund the LCIDA's $53 million of 5.50% Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds due 2027 and the remaining proceeds were used in August 2005 to refund the LCIDA's $55 million of 6.15% Pollution Control Revenue Refunding Bonds due 2029, previously issued on behalf of PPL Electric. A $1 million premium was paid as part of the June 2005 bond redemption, which is reflected in "Other Noncurrent Assets" and will be amortized over the life of the new debt, together with remaining unamortized deferred financing fees.

In connection with the issuance of each of these new series of LCIDA bonds, PPL Electric entered into a loan agreement with the LCIDA pursuant to which the LCIDA has loaned to PPL Electric the proceeds of the LCIDA bonds on payment terms that correspond to the LCIDA bonds. The scheduled principal and interest payments on the LCIDA bonds are insured. In order to secure its obligations to the insurance provider, PPL Electric issued $224 million aggregate principal amount of its Senior Secured Bonds (under its 2001 Senior Secured Bond Indenture), which also have payment terms that correspond to the LCIDA bonds.

In April 2005, PPL Electric retired all $69 million of its 6-1/2% First Mortgage Bonds due April 2005 at par value.

In July 2005, PPL Electric executed a bond purchase agreement with certain institutional buyers in the private placement market to sell $200 million of Senior Secured Bonds. Subject to customary closing conditions, the bonds will be issued on or about December 20, 2005, in two tranches: $100 million of bonds maturing in December 2015 with a coupon of 4.95%, and $100 million of bonds maturing in December 2020 with a coupon of 5.15%. PPL Electric intends to use the proceeds from the bonds to refund existing Senior Secured Bonds and/or First Mortgage Bonds and/or for general corporate purposes.

Dividends (PPL)

In February 2005, PPL announced an increase to its quarterly common stock dividend, payable April 1, 2005, to 46 cents per share. See Note 17 for additional information on an announcement in August 2005 to further increase the quarterly stock dividend.

8.   Acquisitions, Development and Divestitures

Domestic Generation Projects (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In 2003, PPL Maine entered into an agreement in principle with a coalition of government agencies and private groups to sell three of its nine hydroelectric dams in Maine. The parties reached a final agreement in 2004 and submitted it to the FERC for approval. Under the agreement, a non-profit organization designated by the coalition would have a five-year option to purchase the dams for approximately $25 million, and PPL Maine would receive rights to increase energy output at its other hydroelectric dams in Maine. The coalition has announced plans to remove or bypass the dams subject to the agreement in order to restore runs of Atlantic salmon and other migratory fish to the Penobscot River. The agreement requires several approvals by the FERC, and PPL cannot predict whether or when all of these regulatory approvals will be obtained.

International Energy Projects(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Sale of CEMAR

In 2001, PPL Global estimated that the long-term viability of its CEMAR investment was jeopardized and that there was minimal probability of positive future cash flows. At that time, PPL Global recorded an impairment loss in the carrying value of its net assets in CEMAR. In March 2002, PPL Global recorded a further impairment loss. In June 2002, PPL made a decision to exit the investment. At that time, PPL Global's remaining portion of its CEMAR investment was written-off.

In August 2002, ANEEL authorized an administrative intervention in CEMAR and fully assumed operational and financial control of the company. The intervener appointed by ANEEL initiated efforts to transfer the ownership interest in CEMAR to a new owner. Since PPL Global no longer controlled or managed CEMAR, it deconsolidated the assets and liabilities of CEMAR from its financial statements and stopped recording CEMAR's operating results at that time. Due to the inability to discharge their obligations under the continuing intervention, PPL-related officers and directors of CEMAR resigned from their respective positions in February 2003.

In April 2004, PPL Global transferred its interest in CEMAR to two companies controlled by a private equity fund managed by GP Investimentos, a Brazilian private equity firm. The sale resulted in a credit of approximately $23 million as a result of the reversal of the negative carrying value and the associated cumulative translation adjustment, which is included in "Other Income - net" on the Statement of Income.

Sale of CGE

In March 2004, PPL Global completed the sale of its minority interest in shares of CGE for approximately $123 million. The sale resulted in a charge of approximately $15 million pre-tax, which is included in operating expenses, as "Energy related businesses," on the Statement of Income. This charge was due to the write-off of the associated cumulative translation adjustment, primarily as a result of the devaluation of the Chilean peso since the original acquisition in 2000.

Discontinued Operations (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Sale of Sundance Plant

In May 2005, a subsidiary of PPL Generation completed the sale of its 450 MW Sundance power plant located in Pinal County, Arizona, to Arizona Public Service Company for approximately $190 million in cash. Proceeds from the sale were used to reduce PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's outstanding debt and improve liquidity. The book value of the plant was approximately $260 million on the sale date. The subsidiary recorded a loss on the sale of approximately $47 million, or $0.24 per share, net of a tax benefit of $26 million. The loss on the sale is reflected as "Loss from Discontinued Operations," along with operating losses of the Sundance plant of approximately $2 million and $4 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, and $6 million and $10 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. At December 31, 2004, the Sundance plant had a book value of $263 million, and was recorded in "Electric plant in service - Generation" on the Balance Sheet. The plant had been included in the total assets of the Supply segment prior to the sale.

Sale of Latin American Telecommunications Company

In December 2003, PPL Global's Board of Managers authorized PPL Global to sell its investment in a Latin American telecommunications company, and approved a plan of sale. It was determined that this non-strategic business was not economically viable. PPL Global sold this investment to local management for a nominal amount in June 2004. The operating results of the Latin American telecommunications company, which were a loss of approximately $1 million and $2 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004, as well as an insignificant write-down of its net assets, are reflected as "Loss from Discontinued Operations" on the Statement of Income.

Other (PPL)

In June 2004, a PPL subsidiary evaluated its investment in a technology supplier for impairment. As a result of the evaluation, the subsidiary recorded an impairment charge of approximately $10 million pre-tax, which is included in "Other Income - net" on the Statement of Income.

9.   Commitments and Contingent Liabilities

Energy Purchases, Energy Sales and Other Commitments

Energy Purchase Commitments(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into long-term purchase contracts to supply the fuel requirements for generation facilities. These include contracts to purchase coal, natural gas, oil and uranium. These contracts extend for terms through 2019. PPL and PPL Energy Supply also enter into long-term contracts for the storage and transport of natural gas. These contracts extend through 2014 and 2032, respectively. Additionally, PPL Energy Supply enters into long-term contracts to purchase power to meet load requirements and emissions allowances for its generation facilities. These contracts extend for terms through April 2010.

PPL Energy Supply entered into long-term power purchase agreements with two wind project developers to purchase the full output of their facilities when they begin commercial operation. One of the power purchase agreements is for 100 MW and extends for a term of 15 years, and the project is expected to be in service in 2006. The other agreement is for 20 MW and extends for a term of 20 years, and the project is expected to be in service by the end of 2005.

As part of the purchase of generation assets from Montana Power, PPL Montana assumed a power purchase agreement, which was still in effect at June 30, 2005. In accordance with purchase accounting guidelines, PPL Montana recorded a liability of $58 million as the estimated fair value of the agreement at the acquisition date. The liability is being reduced over the term of the agreement, through 2010, as an adjustment to "Energy purchases" on the Statement of Income. The unamortized balance of the liability related to the agreement at June 30, 2005, was $50 million and is included in "Deferred Credits and Other Noncurrent Liabilities - Other" on the Balance Sheet.

Liability for Above Market NUG Contracts

In 1998, PPL Electric recorded a loss accrual for above market contracts with NUGs of $854 million, due to its generation business being deregulated. Effective January 1999, PPL Electric began reducing this liability as an offset to "Energy purchases" on the Statement of Income. This reduction is based on the estimated timing of the purchases from the NUGs and projected market prices for this generation. The final existing NUG contract expires in 2014. In connection with the corporate realignment in 2000, the remaining balance of this liability was transferred to PPL EnergyPlus. At June 30, 2005, the remaining liability associated with the above market NUG contracts was $242 million.

Energy Sales Commitments(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Energy Supply enters into long-term power sales contracts in connection with its load-serving activities or associated with certain of its power plants. These power sales contracts extend for terms through 2017. All long-term contracts were executed at pricing that approximated market rates, including profit margin, at the time of execution.

As part of the purchase of generation assets from Montana Power, PPL Montana assumed a power sales agreement, which is still in effect at June 30, 2005. In accordance with purchase accounting guidelines, PPL Montana recorded a liability of $7 million as the estimated fair value of the agreement at the acquisition date. The agreement was re-evaluated under DIG Issue C20, "Scope Exceptions: Interpretation of the Meaning of Not Clearly and Closely Related in Paragraph 10(b) Regarding Contracts with a Price Adjustment Feature," which changed its fair value and reclassified it as a derivative instrument. The current liability balance is $6 million as of June 30, 2005.

On July 1, 2002, PPL EnergyPlus began to sell to NorthWestern an aggregate of 450 MW of energy supplied by PPL Montana. Under two five-year agreements, PPL EnergyPlus is supplying 300 MW of around-the-clock electricity and 150 MW of unit-contingent on-peak electricity. PPL Montana also makes short-term energy sales to NorthWestern.

In April 2003, the Maryland Public Service Commission authorized the competitive provision of the Standard Offer Service (SOS) to allow utilities to procure SOS for customers through the competitive selection of wholesale supply. In March 2004, PPL EnergyPlus was awarded an 11-month fixed-price SOS contract for customer load (approximately 60 MW) for Potomac Electric Power Company. This contract commenced in July 2004 and expired in May 2005.

As a result of New Jersey's Electric Discount and Energy Competition Act, the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities authorized and made available to power suppliers, on a competitive basis, the opportunity to provide Basic Generation Service (BGS) to all non-shopping New Jersey customers. In February 2003, PPL EnergyPlus was awarded a 34-month fixed-price BGS contract for a fixed percentage of customer load (approximately 1,000 MW) for Atlantic City Electric Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company and Public Service Electric & Gas Company. This contract commenced in August 2003. In February 2004, PPL EnergyPlus was awarded a 12-month hourly energy price supply BGS contract for a fixed percentage of customer load (approximately 450 MW) for Atlantic City Electric Company, Jersey Central Power & Light Company and Public Service Electric & Gas Company. These contracts commenced in June 2004 and expired in May 2005. In the first quarter of 2005, PPL EnergyPlus was awarded a portion of the Commercial Industrial Energy Pricing tranche, which will amount to approximately 85 MW after expected shopping. These contracts commenced in June 2005.

In January 2004, PPL EnergyPlus began supplying 12.5% of Connecticut Light & Power Company's Transitional Standard Offer load under a three-year fixed-price contract. During peak hours, PPL EnergyPlus' obligation to supply the Transitional Standard Offer load may reach 625 MW.

PPL Montana Hydroelectric License Commitments(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Montana has 11 hydroelectric facilities and one storage reservoir licensed by the FERC pursuant to the Federal Power Act under long-term licenses that expire in 2035 and 2040. Pursuant to Section 8(e) of the Federal Power Act, the FERC approved the transfer from Montana Power to PPL Montana of all pertinent licenses and any amendments in connection with the Montana APA.

The Kerr Dam Project license was jointly issued by the FERC to Montana Power and the Confederated Salish and Kootenai Tribes of the Flathead Reservation in 1985, and required Montana Power to hold and operate the project for 30 years. The license required Montana Power, and subsequently PPL Montana as a result of the purchase of the Kerr Dam from Montana Power, to continue to implement a plan to mitigate the impact of the Kerr Dam on fish, wildlife and the habitat. Under this arrangement, PPL Montana has a remaining commitment to spend approximately $20 million between 2005 and 2015, at which point the tribes have the option to purchase, hold and operate the project.

PPL Montana entered into two Memorandums of Understanding (MOUs) with state, federal and private entities related to the issuance in 2000 of the FERC renewal license for the nine dams for the Missouri-Madison project. The MOUs require PPL Montana to implement plans to mitigate the impact of its projects on fish, wildlife and the habitat, and to increase recreational opportunities. The MOUs were created to maximize collaboration between the parties and possibilities for matching funds from relevant federal agencies. Under this arrangement, PPL Montana has a remaining commitment to spend approximately $27 million between 2005 and 2040.

Legal Matters

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL and its subsidiaries are involved in numerous legal proceedings, claims and litigation in the ordinary course of business. PPL and its subsidiaries cannot predict the outcome of such matters, or whether such matters may result in material liabilities.

Montana Power Shareholders' Litigation(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In August 2001, a purported class-action lawsuit was filed by a group of shareholders of Montana Power against Montana Power, the directors of Montana Power, certain advisors and consultants of Montana Power and PPL Montana. The plaintiffs allege, among other things, that Montana Power was required to, and did not, obtain shareholder approval of the sale of Montana Power's generation assets to PPL Montana in 1999. Although most of the claims in the complaint are against Montana Power, its board of directors, and its consultants and advisors, two claims are asserted against PPL Montana. In the first claim, plaintiffs seek a declaration that because Montana Power shareholders did not vote on the 1999 sale of generating assets to PPL Montana, that sale "was null and void ab initio." The second claim alleges that PPL Montana was privy to and participated in a strategy whereby Montana Power would sell its generation assets to PPL Montana without first obtaining Montana Power shareholder approval, and that PPL Montana has made net profits in excess of $100 million as the result of this alleged illegal sale. In the second claim, plaintiffs request that the court impose a "resulting and/or constructive trust" on both the generation assets themselves and all profits, plus interest on the amounts subject to the trust. This lawsuit is currently pending in the U.S. District Court of Montana, Butte Division. In July 2004, the plaintiffs notified the District Court that the parties had reached an oral partial settlement of the case that would result in the dismissal of PPL Montana as a defendant, and in January 2005 a global settlement agreement was filed with the District Court along with a motion to approve the agreement. Under the terms of the global settlement agreement, the plaintiffs' claims against PPL Montana would be dismissed and PPL Montana would not have to pay any amounts to the plaintiffs. In April 2005, the District Court provided the parties to the global settlement agreement additional time to engage in further discussions and file with the court a more comprehensive form of agreement. These additional discussions have not yet resulted in a more comprehensive agreement, and it is possible that the District Court may order a resumption of the litigation schedule for this matter if a more comprehensive agreement is not reached. Any agreement reached by the parties must be approved by the District Court. PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

NorthWestern Corporation Litigation(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In connection with the acquisition of the Montana generation assets, the Montana Power APA, which was previously assigned to PPL Montana by PPL Global, includes a provision concerning the proposed purchase by PPL Montana of a portion of NorthWestern's interest in the 500-kilovolt Colstrip Transmission System (CTS) for $97 million. During 2002, PPL Montana had been in discussions with NorthWestern regarding the proposed purchase of the CTS and the claims that PPL Montana believes it has against NorthWestern arising from the Montana Power APA and related agreements. Notwithstanding such discussions, in September 2002, NorthWestern filed a lawsuit against PPL Montana in Montana state court seeking specific performance of PPL Montana's purchase of the CTS or, alternatively, damages for breach of contract. Pursuant to PPL Montana's application, the matter was removed to the U.S. District Court of Montana, Butte Division. Following removal, NorthWestern asserted additional claims for damages against PPL Montana, including a claim for punitive damages. PPL Montana filed defenses denying liability for NorthWestern's claims as well as counterclaims against NorthWestern seeking damages PPL Montana believes it has suffered under the Montana Power APA and related agreements.

In October 2004, the federal district court in Delaware, where NorthWestern's bankruptcy proceeding had been pending, approved a joint stipulation between PPL Montana and NorthWestern under which NorthWestern agreed to establish a segregated reserve to be used for any distributions to be made to satisfy any final judgment that PPL Montana may be awarded pursuant to PPL Montana's counterclaims. This segregated reserve has been funded with shares of NorthWestern common stock equal to $50 million, valued as of the effective date of NorthWestern's plan of reorganization. Also in October, the federal district court in Delaware confirmed NorthWestern's plan of reorganization, and in November 2004, NorthWestern announced that it had officially emerged from bankruptcy protection.

In May 2005, PPL Montana and NorthWestern reached an agreement in principle pursuant to which each of the parties will withdraw its claims in this litigation. Under the terms of this agreement, NorthWestern will retain the CTS and PPL Montana will pay NorthWestern $9 million. PPL and PPL Energy Supply recognized an after-tax charge of approximately $6 million (or $0.03 pershare for PPL) in the first quarter of 2005 for a loss contingency related to this matter. The settlement of this matter is subject to the parties' execution of a final agreement and the satisfaction of the terms and conditions of any such agreement, and PPL cannot be certain whether or when the parties will reach a final agreement. In July 2005, the Montana federal district court granted PPL Montana and NorthWestern until August 12, 2005, to notify the court whether a settlement agreement has been executed and filed with the Delaware bankruptcy court.

If a final agreement between the parties is not reached, the trial for this matter is expected to commence in the Montana federal district court in late-2005. PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot be certain of the outcome of this matter.

Montana Hydroelectric Litigation(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In October 2003, a lawsuit was filed against PPL Montana, PPL Services, Avista Corporation, PacifiCorp and nine John Doe defendants in the U.S. District Court of Montana, Missoula Division, by two residents allegedly acting in a representative capacity on behalf of the State of Montana. In January 2004, the complaint was amended to, among other things, include the Great Falls school districts as additional plaintiffs. In May 2004, the Montana Attorney General filed a motion to allow the State of Montana to intervene as an additional plaintiff in the litigation. This motion was granted without objection. The individual plaintiffs, the school districts and the State sought declaratory judgment, compensatory damages and attorneys fees and costs for use of state and/or "school trust" lands by hydropower facilities and to require the defendants to adequately compensate the State and/or the State School Trust fund for full market value of lands occupied. Generally, the suit is founded on allegations that the bed of navigable rivers became state-owned property upon Montana's admission to statehood, and that the use thereof for placement of dam structures, affiliated structures and reservoirs should, under an existing regulatory scheme, trigger lease payments for use of land underneath. The plaintiffs also sought relief on theories of unjust enrichment, trespass and negligence. No specific amount of damages or future rental value has been claimed by the plaintiffs. The defendants filed separate motions to dismiss the individual plaintiffs' and school district's complaint, as well as the complaint of the State of Montana. In September 2004, the federal court granted the motions to dismiss the individual plaintiffs' and school districts' complaint but denied the similar motions as to the State of Montana's complaint. Following the federal court's September decision, PPL Montana and the other defendants filed a motion to dismiss the State of Montana's complaint for lack of diversity jurisdiction and also filed a motion to vacate certain portions of the decision. The federal court has not yet ruled on these motions.

In November 2004, PPL Montana, Avista Corporation and PacifiCorp commenced an action for declaratory judgment in Montana First Judicial District Court seeking a determination that no lease payments or other compensation for the hydropower facilities' use and occupancy of streambeds can be collected by the State of Montana. The State subsequently filed counterclaims and a motion for summary judgment. In February 2005, the individual plaintiffs and school districts who were dismissed from the federal court proceeding, along with a state teachers' union, filed a motion to intervene as additional defendants in this state court proceeding, and also filed a proposed answer and counterclaims to be used if their motion to intervene is granted. The state court denied this motion to intervene, but has not yet ruled on any of the other above-described motions. PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot predict the outcome of either the federal or the state court proceeding.

Regulatory Issues

California ISO and Western Markets(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Through its subsidiaries, PPL made approximately $18 million of sales to the California ISO during the period from October 2000 through June 2001, of which $17 million has not been paid to PPL subsidiaries. Given the myriad of electricity supply problems presently faced by the California electric utilities and the California ISO, PPL cannot predict whether or when it will receive payment. As of June 30, 2005, PPL has fully reserved for possible underrecoveries of payments for these sales.

Regulatory proceedings arising out of the California electricity supply situation have been filed at the FERC. The FERC has determined that all sellers of energy into markets operated by the California ISO and the California Power Exchange, including PPL Montana, should be subject to refund liability for the period beginning October 2, 2000, through June 20, 2001, and initiated an evidentiary hearing concerning refund amounts. In April 2003, the FERC changed the manner in which this refund liability is to be computed and ordered further proceedings to determine the exact amounts that the sellers, including PPL Montana, would be required to refund. In September 2004, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit held that the FERC had the additional legal authority to order refunds for periods prior to October 2, 2000, and ordered the FERC to determine whether or not it would be appropriate to grant such additional refunds.

In June 2003, the FERC took several actions as a result of a number of related investigations. The FERC terminated proceedings pursuant to which it had been considering whether to order refunds for spot market bilateral sales made in the Pacific Northwest, including sales made by PPL Montana, during the period December 2000 through June 2001. The FERC explained that the totality of the circumstances made refunds unfeasible and inequitable, and that it had provided adequate relief by adopting a price cap throughout the western U.S. The FERC also denied pending complaints against long-term contracts in the western U.S. In these complaints, various power buyers had challenged selected long-term contracts that they entered into during 2000 and 2001, complaining that the power prices were too high and reflected manipulation of those energy markets. The FERC found that the complainants had not met their burden of showing that changing or canceling the contracts was "in the public interest" and that the dysfunction in the California markets did not justify changing these long-term contracts. These orders have been appealed to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. In two separate orders, the FERC also ordered 65 different companies, agencies or municipalities to show cause why they should not be ordered to disgorge profits for "gaming" or anomalous market behavior during 2000 and 2001. These orders to show cause address both unilateral and joint conduct identified as the "Enron trading strategies." Neither PPL EnergyPlus nor PPL Montana was included in these orders to show cause, and they previously have explained in responses to data requests from the FERC that they have not engaged in such trading strategies. Finally, the FERC issued a new investigation order directing its staff to investigate any bids made into the California markets in excess of $250/MWh during the period from May 2000 to October 2000, a period of time prior to the period examined in connection with most of the proceedings described above. To their knowledge, neither PPL EnergyPlus nor PPL Montana is being investigated by the FERC under this new order.

Litigation arising out of the California electricity supply situation has been filed in California courts against sellers of energy to the California ISO. The plaintiffs and intervenors in these legal proceedings allege, among other things, abuse of market power, manipulation of market prices, unfair trade practices and violations of state antitrust laws, and seek other relief, including treble damages and attorneys' fees. While PPL's subsidiaries have not been named by the plaintiffs in these legal proceedings, PPL Montana was named by a defendant in its cross-complaint in a consolidated court proceeding, which combined into one master proceeding several of the lawsuits alleging antitrust violations and unfair trade practices. This generator denies that any unlawful, unfair or fraudulent conduct occurred but asserts that, if it is found liable, the other generators and power marketers, including PPL Montana, caused, contributed to and/or participated in the plaintiffs' alleged losses.

In February 2004, the Montana Public Service Commission initiated a limited investigation of the Montana retail electricity market for the years 2000 and 2001, focusing on how that market was affected by transactions involving the possible manipulation of the electricity grid in the western U.S. The investigation includes all public utilities and licensed electricity suppliers in Montana, as well as other entities that may possess relevant information. Through its subsidiaries, PPL is a licensed electricity supplier in Montana and a wholesale supplier in the western U.S. In June 2004, the Montana Attorney General served PPL Montana and more than 20 other companies with subpoenas requesting documents, and PPL Montana has provided responsive documents to the Montana Attorney General. As with the other investigations taking place as a result of the issues arising out of the electricity supply situation in California and other western states, PPL and its subsidiaries believe that they have not engaged in any improper trading or marketing practices affecting the Montana retail electricity market.

While PPL and its subsidiaries believe that they have not engaged in any improper trading practices, they cannot predict whether, or the extent to which, any PPL subsidiaries will be the target of any additional governmental investigations or named in other lawsuits or refund proceedings, the outcome of any such lawsuits or proceedings or whether the ultimate impact on them of the electricity supply situation in California and other western states will be material.

PJM Capacity Litigation(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In December 2002, PPL was served with a complaint against PPL, PPL EnergyPlus and PPL Electric filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania by a group of 14 Pennsylvania boroughs that apparently alleges, among other things, violations of the federal antitrust laws in connection with the pricing of installed capacity in the PJM daily market during the first quarter of 2001. These boroughs were wholesale customers of PPL Electric. The claims of the boroughs are similar to those previously alleged by a single borough in litigation brought in the same court that is still pending. In addition, in November 2003, PPL and PPL EnergyPlus were served with a complaint which was filed in the same court by Joseph Martorano, III (d/b/a ENERCO), that also alleges violations of the federal antitrust laws in early 2001. The complaint indicates that ENERCO provides consulting and energy procurement services to clients in Pennsylvania and New Jersey. In September 2004, this complaint was dismissed by the District Court, and in June 2005, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit denied the plaintiff's appeal.

Each of the U.S. Department of Justice - Antitrust Division, the FERC and the Pennsylvania Attorney General conducted investigations regarding PPL's PJM capacity market transactions in early 2001 and did not find any reason to take action against PPL.

Although PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric believe the claims in these complaints are without merit, they cannot predict the outcome of these matters.

New England Investigation(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In January 2004, PPL became aware of an investigation by the Connecticut Attorney General and the FERC's Office of Market Oversight and Investigation (OMOI) regarding allegations that natural gas-fired generators located in New England illegally sold natural gas instead of generating electricity during the week of January 12, 2004. Subsequently, PPL and other generators were served with a data request by OMOI. The data request indicated that PPL was not under suspicion of a regulatory violation, but that OMOI was conducting an initial investigation. PPL has responded to this data request. PPL also has responded to data requests of ISO - New England and data requests served by subpoena from the Connecticut Attorney General. Both OMOI and ISO - New England have issued preliminary reports finding no regulatory or other violations concerning these matters. While PPL does not believe that it committed any regulatory or other violations concerning the subject matter of these investigations, PPL cannot predict the outcome of these investigations.

PJM Billing(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In December 2004, Exelon Corporation, on behalf of its subsidiary, PECO Energy, Inc. (PECO), filed a complaint against PJM and PPL Electric with the FERC alleging that PJM had overcharged PECO from April 1998 through May 2003 as a result of an error by PJM in the State Estimator Model used in connection with billing all PJM customers for certain transmission, spot market energy and ancillary services charges. Specifically, the complaint alleges that PJM mistakenly identified PPL Electric's Elroy substation transformer as belonging to PECO and that, as a consequence, during times of congestion, PECO's bills for transmission congestion from PJM erroneously reflected energy that PPL Electric took from the Elroy substation and used to serve PPL Electric's load. The complaint requests the FERC, among other things, to direct PPL Electric to refund to PJM $39 million, plus interest of approximately $8 million, and for PJM to refund these same amounts to PECO. In February 2005, PPL Electric filed its response with the FERC stating that neither PPL Electric nor any of its affiliates should be held financially responsible or liable to PJM or PECO as a result of PJM's error.

In April 2005, the FERC issued an Order Establishing Hearing and Settlement Judge Proceedings (the Order). In the Order, the FERC determined that PECO is entitled to reimbursement for the transmission congestion charges that PECO asserts PJM erroneously billed to it at the Elroy substation. The FERC set for additional proceedings before a judge the determination of the amount of the overcharge to PECO and which PJM market participants were undercharged and therefore are responsible for reimbursement to PECO. The FERC also ordered procedures before a judge to attempt to reach a settlement of the dispute.

PPL and PPL Electric recognized an after-tax charge of approximately $27 million (or $0.14 per share for PPL) in the first quarter of 2005 for a loss contingency related to this matter. The pre-tax accrual was approximately $47 million, with $39 million included in "Energy purchases" on the Statement of Income, and $8 million in "Interest Expense."

PPL, PPL Electric and PPL Energy Supply cannot be certain of the outcome of this matter or the impact on PPL and its subsidiaries. Some or all of the first quarter 2005 charges for this matter may be reversed in a future period depending on the outcome of this matter, the potential for recovery of any amounts paid as a result of the additional FERC proceedings, the application of the relevant provisions of the energy supply agreements between PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus and other factors. Depending on these factors, PPL Energy Supply, the parent company of PPL EnergyPlus, may incur some or all of the costs associated with this matter in a future period.

FERC Market-Based Rate Authority(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In December 1998, the FERC issued an order authorizing PPL EnergyPlus to make wholesale sales of electric power and related products at market-based rates. In that order, the FERC directed PPL EnergyPlus to file an updated market analysis within three years of the date of the order, and every three years thereafter. PPL EnergyPlus filed its initial updated market analysis in December 2001. Several parties thereafter filed interventions and protests requesting that PPL EnergyPlus be required to provide additional information demonstrating that it has met the FERC's market power tests necessary for PPL EnergyPlus to continue its market-based rate authority. PPL EnergyPlus has responded that the FERC does not require the economic test suggested by the intervenors and that, in any event, it would meet such economic test if required by the FERC.

In June 2004, FERC approved certain changes to its standards for granting market-based rate authority. As a result of the schedule adopted by the FERC, PPL EnergyPlus, PPL Electric, PPL Montana and most of PPL Generation's subsidiaries were required to file in November 2004 updated analyses demonstrating that they should continue to maintain market-based rate authority under the new standards. PPL made two filings, one for PPL Montana and one for most of the other PPL subsidiaries. The Montana Public Service Commission and the Montana Consumer Counsel filed pleadings opposing the filing by PPL Montana. The Montana Public Service Commission requested that the FERC hold a hearing on the market-based rate renewal application, while the Montana Consumer Counsel suggested applying an altered version of the FERC's tests for assessing market power in reviewing the renewal application. The PJM Industrial Customer Coalition, the PP&L Industrial Customer Alliance and the consumer advocates of Maryland and Pennsylvania filed pleadings opposing the filings by the other PPL subsidiaries. These parties challenge the FERC's continued reliance on market-based rates to yield just and reasonable prices for wholesale electric transactions and suggest that the FERC change its tests for market power to include capacity and ancillary services markets. While PPL believes its filings demonstrate that all PPL subsidiaries pass the new tests established by the FERC in June 2004, PPL cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.

FERC Proposed Rules(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In July 2002, the FERC issued a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking entitled "Remedying Undue Discrimination through Open Access Transmission Service and Standard Electricity Market Design." The proposed rule contained a proposed implementation date of July 31, 2003. This far-reaching proposed rule purported to establish uniform transmission rules and a standard market design by, among other things:

·   enacting standard transmission tariffs and uniform market mechanisms,

·   monitoring and mitigating "market power,"

·   managing transmission congestion through pricing and tradable financial rights,

·   requiring independent operational control over transmission facilities,

·   forming state advisory committees on regional transmission organizations and resource adequacy, and

·   exercising FERC jurisdiction over all transmission service.

In April 2003, the FERC issued a white paper describing certain modifications to the proposed rule. The FERC requested comments and held numerous public comment sessions concerning the white paper. In July 2005, the FERC terminated the proposed rule based on its conclusion that the objectives of the proposed rule had been overtaken by other events in the industry, such as the continuing development of voluntary ISOs and RTOs.

In November 2003, the FERC adopted a proposed rule to require all existing and new electric market-based tariffs and authorizations to include provisions prohibiting the seller from engaging in anticompetitive behavior or the exercise of market power. The FERC order adopts a list of market behavior rules that apply to all electric market-based rate tariffs and authorizations, including those of PPL EnergyPlus and any other PPL subsidiaries that hold market-based rate authority. PPL does not expect this rule to have a significant impact on its subsidiaries.

Wallingford Cost-Based Rates (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In January 2003, PPL negotiated an agreement with ISO - New England that would declare that four of the five units at PPL's Wallingford, Connecticut facility are "reliability must run" units and put those units under cost-based rates. This agreement and the cost-based rates are subject to the FERC's approval, and PPL filed a request with the FERC for such approval. PPL requested authority for cost-based rates because the current and anticipated wholesale prices in New England are insufficient to cover the costs of keeping these units available for operation. In March 2003, PPL filed an application with the New England Power Pool to temporarily deactivate these four units. In May 2003, the FERC denied PPL's request for cost-based rates in light of the FERC's changes to the market and bid mitigation rules of ISO - New England made in a similar case involving generating units owned by NRG Energy, Inc. PPL subsequently has explained to the FERC that its changes to the market and bid mitigation rules of ISO - New England will not provide sufficient revenues to PPL, and PPL continues to seek approval of its cost-based rates. However, PPL has informed the New England Power Pool that it will not pursue its request to temporarily deactivate certain Wallingford units. In February 2004, PPL appealed the FERC's denial of its request for cost-based rates to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. PPL cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL, through its subsidiaries, has interests in two synthetic fuel production facilities: the Somerset facility located in Pennsylvania and the Tyrone facility located in Kentucky. PPL receives tax credits pursuant to Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code based on the sale of synthetic fuel from these facilities to unaffiliatedthird-party purchasers. Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code provides tax credits for the production and sale of solid synthetic fuels produced from coal. Section 29 tax credits are currently scheduled to expire at the end of 2007.

To qualify for the Section 29 tax credits, the synthetic fuel must meet three primary conditions: (i) there must be a significant chemical change in the coal feedstock, (ii) the product must be sold to an unaffiliated entity, and (iii) the production facility must have been placed in service before July 1, 1998.

In addition, Section 29 provides for the phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credit when the reference price for crude oil, as adjusted for inflation, exceeds a certain threshold. The reference price is published by the IRS annually in April for the prior year and is calculated based on the annual average wellhead price per barrel for all unregulated domestic crude oil. The average reference price for crude oil in 2004 was $36.75 per barrel, significantly below the phase-out level. Accordingly, the tax credit phase-out did not impact results in 2004. Accounting for inflation, PPL estimates that the 2005 tax credit phase-out would start at about $52 per barrel and the tax credit would be totally eliminated at about $65 per barrel. Based on current market conditions, PPL currently does not expect any significant phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credit for 2005. However, given the recent increases in and volatility of crude oil prices, PPL cannot predict the final average reference price for 2005 and a significant increase in oil prices could reduce the synthetic fuel tax credit and adversely impact PPL's 2005 earnings. In 2005, PPL has entered into transactions to hedge against the increases in and volatility of crude oil prices for 2006 and 2007, with the mark-to-market value of these hedges reflected in "Energy related businesses" revenues on the Statement of Income.

A PPL subsidiary owns and operates the Somerset facility. In November 2001, PPL received a private letter ruling from the IRS pursuant to which, among other things, the IRS concluded that the synthetic fuel produced at the Somerset facility qualifies for Section 29 tax credits. The Somerset facility uses the Covol technology to produce synthetic fuel, and the IRS issued the private letter ruling after its review and approval of that technology. In reliance on this private letter ruling, PPL has sold synthetic fuel produced at the Somerset facility resulting in an aggregate of approximately $237 million of tax credits as of June 30, 2005.

PPL owns a limited partnership interest in the entity that owns and operates the Tyrone facility. In April 2004, this entity received a private letter ruling from the IRS. Similar to its conclusions relating to the Somerset facility, the IRS concluded that the synthetic fuel to be produced at the Tyrone facility qualifies for Section 29 tax credits. In reliance on this private letter ruling, this entity has sold synthetic fuel produced at the Tyrone facility resulting in an aggregate of approximately $36 million of tax credits as of June 30, 2005. The Tyrone facility began commercial operation in the third quarter of 2004, after being relocated to Kentucky from Pennsylvania.

PPL also purchases synthetic fuel from unaffiliated third parties, at prices below the market price of coal, for use at its coal-fired power plants.

In October 2003, it was reported that the U.S. Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations, of the Committee on Governmental Affairs, had begun an investigation of the synthetic fuel industry and its producers. That investigation is ongoing. PPL cannot predict when the investigation will be completed or the potential results of the investigation.

Energy Policy Act of 2005(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In July 2005, the U.S. Congress passed the Energy Policy Act of 2005 (the "2005 Energy Act"), which President Bush is expected to sign into law in early August 2005. The 2005 Energy Act is comprehensive legislation that will substantially affect the regulation of energy companies. The Act amends federal energy laws and provides the FERC with new oversight responsibilities. Among the important changes to be implemented as a result of this legislation are the following:

·   The Public Utility Holding Company Act of 1935, or PUHCA, will be repealed effective six months after the 2005 Energy Act is enacted. PUHCA significantly restricted mergers and acquisitions in the electric utility sector.

·   The FERC will appoint and oversee an electric reliability organization to establish and enforce mandatory reliability rules regarding the interstate electric transmission system.

·   The FERC will establish incentives for transmission companies, such as performance-based rates, recovery of the costs to comply with reliability rules and accelerated depreciation for investments in transmission infrastructure.

·   The Price Anderson Amendments Act of 1988, which provides the framework for nuclear liability protection, will be extended by twenty years to 2025.

·   Federal support will be available for certain clean coal power initiatives, nuclear power projects and renewable energy technologies.

The implementation of the 2005 Energy Act requires proceedings at the state level and the development of regulations by the FERC and the Department of Energy, as well as other federal agencies. PPL cannot predict when these proceedings and regulations will commence or be finalized.

PPL is still studying the legislation and its effects and cannot predict with certainty the impact on PPL and its subsidiaries.

Environmental Matters - Domestic

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Due to the environmental issues discussed below or other environmental matters, PPL subsidiaries may be required to modify, replace or cease operating certain facilities to comply with statutes, regulations and actions by regulatory bodies or courts. In this regard, PPL subsidiaries also may incur capital expenditures or operating expenses in amounts which are not now determinable, but could be significant.

Air (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

The Clean Air Act deals, in part, with acid rain, attainment of federal ambient ozone standards, fine particulate matter standards and toxic air emissions and visibility in the U.S. PPL's subsidiaries are in substantial compliance with the Clean Air Act. Amendments to the Clean Air Act continue to be considered in the U.S. Congress that could require significant further reductions in emissions of nitrogen oxide and sulfur dioxide and reductions in emissions of mercury.

Citing its authority under the Clean Air Act, the EPA has developed new standards for ambient levels of ozone and fine particulates in the U.S. These standards have been upheld following court challenges. To facilitate attainment of these standards, the EPA has finalized a rule (now called the Clean Air Interstate Rule - CAIR) for 28 midwestern and eastern states, including Pennsylvania, to reduce national sulfur dioxide emissions by 40% (about 50% in the CAIR region) by 2010 and to extend the current seasonal program for nitrogen oxide emission reductions to a year-round program (in the CAIR region) starting in 2009. Starting in 2015, CAIR requires further reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide of 30% and 20%, respectively, from 2010 levels. CAIR allows these reductions to be achieved through cap-and-trade programs, and is consistent with the Bush administration's proposed amendments to the Clean Air Act, except that it applies to only the 28 states. Pennsylvania and Montana have not challenged CAIR, but the rule has been challenged by several states and environmental groups as not being sufficiently strict, and by industry petitioners as being too strict. In addition, several Canadian environmental groups have petitioned the EPA under the Clean Air Act to revise CAIR to require deeper reductions in sulfur dioxide and mercury.

In order to continue meeting existing sulfur dioxide reduction requirements of the Clean Air Act, PPL will need to use its banked sulfur dioxide allowances and to purchase additional allowances. Currently, PPL has enough allowances to cover expected consumption through 2006, but will experience shortfalls in some years after 2006. As a result and based on projected allowance prices, PPL plans to install sulfur dioxide scrubbers at its Montour Units 1 and 2 and Brunner Island Unit 3 by 2008. PPL also plans to install scrubbers at Brunner Island Units 1 and 2 during 2009. PPL's current installation plan for the scrubbers and other pollution control equipment from 2005 to 2010 reflects a cost of approximately $1.5 billion.

Also citing its authority under the Clean Air Act, the EPA has finalized mercury regulations that affect coal-fired plants. These regulations establish an emission trading program to take effect beginning January 2010, with a second phase to take effect in 2018. At the same time that it finalized these mercury regulations, the EPA determined that it currently does not need to regulate nickel emissions from oil-fired units. PPL is still assessing what measures it will need to take to comply with the mercury regulations. PPL expects that the scrubbers to be installed at Montour and Brunner Island will provide mercury removal co-benefits. However, PPL believes that it may need to take additional measures to comply with the 2010 requirements of the EPA's mercury regulations, and that it will need to take additional measures to comply with the 2018 requirements. The capital costs to PPL of complying with these new mercury regulations is not now determinable, but could be significant. Based on preliminary industry estimates, the costs are expected to exceed $150 million.

Pennsylvania and ten other states have challenged the new EPA mercury regulations in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals as not being sufficiently strict. The Pennsylvania Environmental Quality Board (PaEQB) has accepted a petition filed by PennFuture, an environmental organization, requesting the PaEQB to develop mercury rules that would require by 2008 a level of mercury reduction that would be more stringent than the level required by 2018 under the EPA's mercury regulations. In addition, the Ozone Transport Commission (consisting of Pennsylvania and 11 other states and the District of Columbia) has passed a resolution calling for reductions in sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury emissions that are more stringent than those under CAIR and the EPA's mercury regulations. The Pennsylvania DEP (which works with the PaEQB to develop Pennsylvania environmental regulations) has stated that it intends to develop mercury regulations that are more stringent than the EPA's regulations but different from those requested by PennFuture, and it also has indicated support for developing more stringent regulations for reductions in sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide. PPL and other energy companies and industry groups oppose state-specific regulations. PPL cannot predict whether more stringent regulations will be adopted in Pennsylvania or Montana. The additional costs to comply with any such regulations are not now determinable, but could be significant.

In addition to the above rules, the Clean Air Visibility Rule was issued by the EPA on June 15, 2005 to address regional haze or regionally-impaired visibility caused by multiple sources over a wide area. The rule defines Best Available Retrofit Technology (BART) requirements for electric generating units, including presumptive limits for sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide controls for large units. The EPA has stated that this rule will not require reductions in sulfur dioxide or nitrogen oxide beyond those required by CAIR. However, in states like Montana that are not within the CAIR region, the need for and costs of additional controls as a result of this new rule are not yet determinable, but could be significant.

In 1999, the EPA initiated enforcement actions against several utilities, asserting that older, coal-fired power plants operated by those utilities have, over the years, been modified in ways that subject them to more stringent "New Source" requirements under the Clean Air Act. The EPA has since issued notices of violation and commenced enforcement activities against other utilities. The future direction of the EPA's enforcement initiative is presently unclear. However, states and environmental groups have also been bringing enforcement actions alleging violations of "New Source" requirements by coal-fired plants. At this time, PPL is unable to predict whether such EPA, state or citizens enforcement actions will be brought with respect to any of its affiliates' plants. However, the EPA regional offices that regulate plants in Pennsylvania (Region III) and Montana (Region VIII) have indicated an intention to issue information requests to all utilities in their jurisdiction. The Region VIII office issued such a request to PPL Montana's Corette plant in 2000 and the Colstrip plant in 2003. The Region III office issued such a request to PPL Generation's Martins Creek plant in 2002. PPL and its subsidiaries have responded to the Corette and Martins Creek information requests and began responding to the Colstrip information request. The EPA has stayed further production of Colstrip documents pending discussion among the Colstrip owners and the EPA. The EPA has taken no further action following the Martins Creek and Corette submittals. PPL cannot presently predict what, if any, action the EPA might take in this regard.

In 2003, the EPA issued changes to its "New Source" regulations that clarify what projects are exempt from "New Source" requirements as routine maintenance and repair. Under these clarifications, any project to replace existing equipment with functionally equivalent equipment would be considered routine maintenance and excluded from "New Source" review if the cost of the replaced equipment does not exceed 20% of the replacement cost of the entire process unit, the basic design is not changed and no permit limit is exceeded. These clarifications would substantially reduce the uncertainties under the prior "New Source" regulations; however, they have been stayed by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit. PPL is therefore continuing to operate under the "New Source" regulations as they existed prior to the EPA's 2003 clarifications.

The New Jersey DEP and some New Jersey residents raised environmental concerns with respect to the Martins Creek plant, particularly with respect to sulfur dioxide emissions and the opacity of the plant's plume. These issues were raised in the context of an appeal by the New Jersey DEP of the Air Quality Plan Approval issued by the Pennsylvania DEP to PPL's Lower Mt. Bethel generating plant. In October 2003, PPL finalized an agreement with the New Jersey DEP and the Pennsylvania DEP pursuant to which PPL will reduce sulfur dioxide emissions from its Martins Creek power plant. Under the agreement, PPL Martins Creek will shut down the plant's two coal-fired generating units by September 2007 and may repower them any time after shutting them down so long as it follows all applicable state and federal requirements, including installing the best available pollution control technology. Pursuant to the agreement, PPL Martins Creek began reducing the fuel sulfur content for the coal units as well as the plant's two oil-fired units in June 2004. The agreement also calls for PPL to donate to a non-profit organization 70% of the excess emission allowances and emission reduction credits that result from shutting down or repowering the coal units. Some of these donations have already been made to the Pennsylvania Environmental Council. As a result of the agreement, the New Jersey DEP withdrew its challenge to the Air Quality Plan Approval for the Lower Mt. Bethel facility. The agreement will not result in material costs to PPL. The agreement does not address the issues raised by the New Jersey DEP regarding the visible opacity of emissions from the oil-fired units at the Martins Creek plant. If it is determined that actions must be taken to address the visible opacity of these emissions, such actions could result in costs that are not now determinable, but could be significant.

In addition to the opacity concerns raised by the New Jersey DEP, the Pennsylvania DEP also has raised concerns about the opacity of emissions from the Martins Creek plant, and the Pennsylvania DEP and PPL are litigating issues relating to the opacity of emissions from the Montour plant. PPL is continuing to discuss these matters with the Pennsylvania DEP. If it is determined that actions must be taken to address the Pennsylvania DEP's concerns, such actions could result in costs that are not now determinable, but could be significant.

In December 2003, PPL Montana, as operator of the Colstrip facility, received an Administrative Compliance Order (ACO) from the EPA pursuant to the Clean Air Act. The ACO alleges that Units 3 and 4 of the facility have been in violation of the Clean Air Act permit at Colstrip since 1980. The permit required Colstrip to submit for review and approval by the EPA an analysis and proposal for reducing emissions of nitrogen oxide to address visibility concerns upon the occurrence of certain triggering events. The EPA is asserting that regulations it promulgated in 1980 triggered this requirement. PPL believes that the ACO is unfounded. PPL is engaged in settlement negotiations on these matters with the EPA, the Montana Department of Environmental Quality and the Northern Cheyenne Tribe.

In addition to the requirements related to emissions of sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxide and mercury noted above, there is a growing concern nationally and internationally about carbon dioxide emissions. In June 2005 the Senate adopted a resolution declaring that mandatory reductions in carbon dioxide are needed. Various legislative proposals are being considered in Congress and several states have already passed legislation capping carbon dioxide emissions. However, the Bush administration is promoting a voluntary carbon dioxide reduction program, called the Climate VISION program. In support of this program, the electric power industry has committed to reducing its greenhouse gas emission intensity levels (measured as tons of carbon dioxide equivalent against electric power production in MWh) by 3% to 5% by the 2010 to 2012 period. Furthermore, an initiative is underway in nine Northeast states to propose a cap-and-trade program for carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuel-fired power plants, the details of which are expected to be released in 2005. Increased pressure for carbon dioxide emissions reduction is also coming from investor organizations and the international community. Pennsylvania and Montana have not, at this time, established any formal programs to address carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases.

As a result of the national and international concerns, PPL has conducted an inventory of its carbon dioxide emissions and is continuing to evaluate various options for reducing, avoiding, off-setting or sequestering its emissions. If the above-described initiatives or other legislative or regulatory initiatives result in mandatory reductions being imposed, the cost of such reductions could be significant.

In June 2005, PPL Montour, along with 20 other companies with coal-fired generating plants, was named as a defendant in a toxic-tort, purported class-action lawsuit filed in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice. PPL Montour has not yet been served with this lawsuit. On behalf of a purported class comprised of all persons resident in Ontario within the past six years (and/or their family members or heirs), the named plaintiffs allege, in essence, that the defendant power companies negligently failed to prevent their plants from emitting air pollutants in such a manner as to cause death and multiple adverse health effects, as well as economic damages, to the plaintiff class. PPL Montour is alleged to be among those responsible for the plaintiffs' injuries because of its ownership of the Montour plant, as well as its ownership interests in the Keystone and Conemaugh plants. The plaintiffs seek damages in the approximate amount of Canadian $49 billion (approximately $40 billion at current exchange rates), along with continuing damages in the amount of Canadian $4.1 billion (approximately $3.3 billion at current exchange rates) per year and punitive damages of Canadian $1 billion (approximately $816 million at current exchange rates), along with such other relief as the court deems just. PPL and PPL Energy Supply cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Water/Waste (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Seepages have been detected at one of the wastewater basins at the Montour station, and PPL is working with the Pennsylvania DEP to assess the seepage and develop an abatement plan. PPL is assessing groundwater impacted by two closed wastewater basins at the Brunner Island station to determine what abatement actions may be needed. PPL plans to comprehensively address issues related to wastewater basins at all of its Pennsylvania plants, as part of the process to renew the residual waste permits for these basins which expire within the next three years. The cost of addressing seepages at PPL's Pennsylvania plants is not now determinable, but could be significant.

PPL Montana continues to undertake certain groundwater investigation and remediation measures at its Colstrip plant to address groundwater contamination. These measures include offering to extend city water to certain residents who live near the plant. In addition, in May 2003, approximately 50 plaintiffs brought an action now pending at the Montana Sixteenth Judicial District Court, Rosebud County, against PPL Montana and the other owners of the Colstrip plant alleging property damage from seepage from the freshwater and wastewater ponds at Colstrip. This action could result in PPL Montana and the other Colstrip owners being liable for damages and being required to take additional remedial measures beyond those noted above. Beyond estimated costs of approximately $1 million (PPL Montana's share of the estimated costs, for which PPL has recorded a contingency reserve) for the proposed settlement of these property damage claims, for extending city water and for a portion of the remedial investigation costs, PPL Montana may incur further costs based on its additional groundwater investigations and any related remedial measures, which costs are not now determinable, but could be significant.

Brunner Island's NPDES permit contains a provision requiring further studies on the thermal impact of the cooling water discharge from the plant. These studies are underway and are expected to be completed in 2006. The Pennsylvania DEP has stated that it believes the studies to date show that the temperature of the discharge must be lowered. The Pennsylvania DEP has also stated that it believes the plant is in violation of a permit condition prohibiting the discharge from changing the river temperature by more than two degrees per hour. PPL is discussing these matters with the agency. Depending on the outcome of these discussions, the plant could be subject to additional capital and operating costs that are not now determinable, but could be significant.

The EPA has significantly tightened the water quality standard for arsenic. The revised standard becomes effective in 2006. The revised standard may result in action by individual states that could require several PPL subsidiaries to either further treat wastewater or take abatement action at their power plants, or both. The cost of complying with any such requirements is not now determinable, but could be significant.

The EPA finalized requirements in 2004 for new or modified water intake structures. These requirements affect where generating facilities are built, establish intake design standards, and could lead to requirements for cooling towers at new and modified power plants. Another new rule that was finalized in 2004 addresses existing structures. PPL does not believe that either of these rules will impose material costs on PPL subsidiaries. However, six northeastern states have challenged the new rules for existing structures as being inadequate. If this challenge is successful, it could result in the EPA establishing stricter standards for existing structures that could impose significant costs on PPL subsidiaries.

Superfund and Other Remediation

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

In 1995, PPL Electric and PPL Generation, and in 1996, PPL Gas Utilities entered into consent orders with the Pennsylvania DEP to address a number of sites that were not being addressed under another regulatory program such as Superfund, but for which PPL Electric, PPL Generation or PPL Gas Utilities may be liable for remediation. This may include potential PCB contamination at certain PPL Electric substations and pole sites; potential contamination at a number of coal gas manufacturing facilities formerly owned or operated by PPL Electric; oil or other contamination which may exist at some of PPL Electric's former generating facilities; and potential contamination at abandoned power plant sites owned by PPL Generation. This may also include former coal gas manufacturing facilities and potential mercury contamination from gas meters and regulators at PPL Gas Utilities' sites.

Since the PPL Electric Consent Order expired on January 31, 2005, and since only four sites remained, PPL has negotiated a new consent order and agreement (COA) with the Pennsylvania DEP that combines both PPL Electric's and PPL Gas Utilities' consent orders into one single agreement. As of June 30, 2005, PPL Electric and PPL Gas Utilities have 178 sites to address under the new combined COA. Additional sites formerly owned or operated by PPL Electric, PPL Generation or PPL Gas Utilities are added to the consent orders on a case-by-case basis.

At June 30, 2005, PPL Electric and PPL Gas Utilities had accrued approximately $3 million and $7 million, respectively, representing the estimated amounts each will have to spend for site remediation, including those sites covered by each company's consent orders mentioned above. Depending on the outcome of investigations at sites where investigations have not begun or have not been completed, the costs of remediation and other liabilities could be substantial. PPL and its subsidiaries also could incur other non-remediation costs at sites included in the consent orders or other contaminated sites, the costs of which are not now determinable, but could be significant.

The EPA is evaluating the risks associated with naphthalene, a chemical by-product of coal gas manufacturing operations. As a result of the EPA's evaluation, individual states may establish stricter standards for water quality and soil clean-up. This could require several PPL subsidiaries to take more extensive assessment and remedial actions at former coal gas manufacturing facilities. The costs to PPL of complying with any such requirements are not now determinable, but could be significant.

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

Under the Pennsylvania Clean Streams Law, subsidiaries of PPL Generation are obligated to remediate acid mine drainage at former mine sites and may be required to take additional measures to prevent potential acid mine drainage at previously capped refuse piles. One PPL Generation subsidiary is pumping and treating mine water at two mine sites. Another PPL Generation subsidiary is installing passive wetlands treatment at a third site, and the Pennsylvania DEP has suggested that it may require that PPL Generation subsidiary to pump and treat the mine water at that third site. At June 30, 2005, a PPL Energy Supply subsidiary had accrued $28 million to cover the costs of pumping and treating groundwater at the two mine sites for 50 years and for operating and maintaining passive wetlands treatment at the third site.

In 1999, the Montana Supreme Court held in favor of several citizens' groups that the right to a clean and healthful environment is a fundamental right guaranteed by the Montana Constitution. The court's ruling could result in significantly more stringent environmental laws and regulations, as well as an increase in citizens' suits under Montana's environmental laws. The effect on PPL Montana of any such changes in laws or regulations or any such increase in legal actions is not currently determinable, but could be significant.

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Future cleanup or remediation work at sites currently under review, or at sites not currently identified, may result in material additional operating costs for PPL subsidiaries that cannot be estimated at this time.

Asbestos(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

There have been increasing litigation claims throughout the U.S. based on exposure to asbestos against companies that manufacture or distribute asbestos products or that have these products on their premises. Certain of PPL's generation subsidiaries and certain of its energy services subsidiaries, such as those that have supplied, may have supplied or installed asbestos material in connection with the repair or installation of process piping and heating, ventilating and air conditioning systems, have been named as defendants in asbestos-related lawsuits. PPL cannot predict the outcome of these lawsuits or whether additional claims may be asserted against its subsidiaries in the future. PPL does not expect that the resolution of the current lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations.

Electric and Magnetic Fields(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Concerns have been expressed by some members of the public regarding potential health effects of power frequency electric and/or magnetic fields (EMFs), which are emitted by all devices carrying electricity, including electric transmission and distribution lines and substation equipment. Government officials in the U.S. and the U.K. have reviewed this issue. The U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences concluded in 2002 that, for most health outcomes, there is no evidence of EMFs causing adverse effects. The agency further noted that there is some epidemiological evidence of an association with childhood leukemia, but that this evidence is difficult to interpret without supporting laboratory evidence. The U.K. National Radiological Protection Board concluded in 2004 that, while the research on EMFs does not provide a basis to find that EMFs cause any illness, there is a basis to consider precautionary measures beyond existing exposure guidelines. PPL and its subsidiaries believe the current efforts to determine whether EMFs cause adverse health effects should continue and are taking steps to reduce EMFs, where practical, in the design of new transmission and distribution facilities. PPL and its subsidiaries are unable to predict what effect, if any, the EMF issue might have on their operations and facilities either in the U.S. or abroad, and the associated cost, or what, if any, liabilities they might incur related to the EMF issue.

Lower Mt. Bethel(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

In August 2002, the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas issued a decision setting the permissible noise levels for operation of the Lower Mt. Bethel facility. PPL appealed the court's decision to the Commonwealth Court, and an intervenor in the lawsuit cross-appealed the court's decision. In May 2003, the Commonwealth Court remanded the case to the Court of Common Pleas for further findings of fact concerning the zoning application relating to the construction of the facility. In September 2003, the Court of Common Pleas ruled in PPL's favor while also reaffirming its decision on the noise levels, and the intervenor appealed this ruling to the Commonwealth Court. In April 2004, the Commonwealth Court affirmed the decision of the Court of Common Pleas, and the Supreme Court of Pennsylvania has denied the intervenor's Petition for Allowance of Appeal. Accordingly, the September 2003 ruling by the Court of Common Pleas is final.

The certificate of occupancy for the Lower Mt. Bethel facility was issued by the local township zoning officer in April 2004, and the facility was placed in service in May 2004. In May 2004, the intervenor in the legal proceedings regarding the facility's permissible noise levels filed an appeal with the township zoning board regarding the issuance of the certificate of occupancy. The hearing on the appeal was held in December 2004, and the intervenor's appeal was denied. The intervenor appealed the zoning board's decision to the Northampton County Court of Common Pleas in February 2005. PPL cannot predict the outcome of this matter.

Environmental Matters - International (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

U.K.

WPD's distribution businesses are subject to numerous regulatory and statutory requirements with respect to environmental matters. PPL believes that WPD has taken and continues to take measures to comply with the applicable laws and governmental regulations for the protection of the environment. There are no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against WPD with respect to environmental matters. See "Environmental Matters - Domestic - Electric and Magnetic Fields" for a discussion of EMFs.

Latin America

Certain of PPL's affiliates have electric distribution operations in Latin America. PPL believes that these affiliates have taken and continue to take measures to comply with the applicable laws and governmental regulations for the protection of the environment. There are no material legal or administrative proceedings pending against PPL's affiliates in Latin America with respect to environmental matters.

Other

Nuclear Insurance(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Susquehanna is a member of certain insurance programs which provide coverage for property damage to members' nuclear generating stations. Facilities at the Susquehanna station are insured against property damage losses up to $2.75 billion under these programs. PPL Susquehanna is also a member of an insurance program which provides insurance coverage for the cost of replacement power during prolonged outages of nuclear units caused by certain specified conditions. Under the property and replacement power insurance programs, PPL Susquehanna could be assessed retroactive premiums in the event of the insurers' adverse loss experience. At June 30, 2005, this maximum assessment was about $38 million.

In the event of a nuclear incident at the Susquehanna station, PPL Susquehanna's public liability for claims resulting from such incident would be limited to about $10.8 billion under provisions of The Price Anderson Amendments Act of 1988. PPL Susquehanna is protected against this liability by a combination of commercial insurance and an industry assessment program. In the event of a nuclear incident at any of the reactors covered by The Price Anderson Amendments Act of 1988, PPL Susquehanna could be assessed up to $201 million per incident, payable at $20 million per year.

Guarantees and Other Assurances

(PPL)

PPL fully and unconditionally guarantees all of the debt securities of PPL Capital Funding.

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

The table below provides an update to those guarantees that are within the scope of FIN 45, "Guarantor's Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, an Interpretation of FASB Statements No. 5, 57, and 107 and Rescission of FASB Interpretation No. 34," and are specifically disclosed in Note 14 to the Financial Statements contained in each Registrant's 2004 Form 10-K.

Guarantee of a portion of an unconsolidated entity's debt						7	(d)		2008
Residual value guarantees of leased equipment		1		1		77			2006	(b)

(a)	Represents the estimated maximum potential amount of future payments that could be required to be made under the guarantee.
(b)	Although the expiration date noted is 2006, equipment of similar value is generally leased and guaranteed on an on-going basis.
(c)	Other than the exceptions noted in (e) below, all guarantees of PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric also apply to PPL on a consolidated basis.
(d)	Reflects principal payments only.
(e)	Represents letters of credit issued at the direction of PPL Energy Supply for the benefit of third parties for assurance against nonperformance by PPL and PPL Gas Utilities. This is not a guarantee by PPL on a consolidated basis.
(f)	Amount is per incident.
(g)	As a result of the privatization of the utility industry in the U.K., certain electric associations' roles and responsibilities were discontinued or modified. As a result, certain obligations, primarily pension-related, associated with these organizations have been guaranteed by the participating members. Costs are allocated to the members based on predetermined percentages as outlined in specific agreements. However, if a member becomes insolvent, costs can be reallocated to and are guaranteed by the remaining members. At June 30, 2005, WPD has recorded an estimated discounted liability based on its current allocated percentage of the total expected costs. Neither the expiration date nor the maximum amount of potential payments for certain obligations is explicitly stated in the related agreements and, therefore, have been estimated based on the types of obligations.
(h)	In connection with the sale of the Sundance plant, PPL Energy Supply has provided indemnifications to the purchaser for losses arising out of any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants under the related transaction documents and for losses arising with respect to liabilities not specifically assumed by the purchaser, including certain pre-closing environmental and tort liabilities. PPL Energy Supply's maximum exposure with respect to these indemnifications and the expiration of the indemnifications cannot be estimated because, in the case of certain of the indemnification provisions, the maximum potential liability is not capped by the transaction documents and the expiration date is based on the applicable statute of limitations. Certain of the indemnifications are triggered only if the purchaser's losses reach $1 million in the aggregate, are capped at 50% of the purchase price (or approximately $95 million), and survive for a period of only 24 months after the May 13, 2005, transaction closing. The indemnification provision for unknown environmental and tort liabilities related to periods prior to PPL Energy Supply's ownership of the real property on which the facility is located are capped at approximately $4 million in the aggregate and survive for a maximum period of five years after the transaction closing.

10.   Related Party Transactions

Affiliate Trust (PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

At both June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004, PPL and PPL Energy Supply's Balance Sheets reflect $89 million of "Long-term Debt with Affiliate Trust." This debt represents obligations of PPL Energy Supply under 8.23% subordinated debentures maturing in February 2027 that are held by SIUK Capital Trust I, which is a variable interest entity whose common securities are owned by PPL Energy Supply but which is not consolidated by PPL Energy Supply. Interest expense on this obligation was $3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 and $6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. This interest is reflected in "Interest Expense" for PPL and "Interest Expense with Affiliates" for PPL Energy Supply on the Statement of Income. See Note 22 in each Registrant's 2004 Form 10-K for additional information.

PLR Contracts (PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL Electric has power sales agreements with PPL EnergyPlus, effective July 2000 and January 2002, to supply all of PPL Electric's PLR load through 2009. Under these contracts, PPL EnergyPlus provides electricity at the predetermined capped prices that PPL Electric is authorized to charge its PLR customers. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, these purchases totaled $364 million and $346 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, these purchases totaled $779 million and $756 million. These purchases include nuclear decommissioning recovery and amortization of an up-front contract payment, and are included in the Statement of Income as "Energy purchases from affiliate" by PPL Electric, and as "Wholesale energy marketing to affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply.

Under one of the PLR contracts, PPL Electric is required to make performance assurance deposits with PPL EnergyPlus when the market price of electricity is less than the contract price by more than its contract collateral threshold. Conversely, PPL EnergyPlus is required to make performance assurance deposits with PPL Electric when the market price of electricity is greater than the contract price by more than its contract collateral threshold. PPL Electric estimates that, at June 30, 2005, the market price of electricity would exceed the contract price by approximately $2.4 billion. Accordingly, at June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply was required to provide PPL Electric with performance assurance of $300 million, the maximum amount required under the contract. PPL Energy Supply's deposit with PPL Electric was $300 million at June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004. This deposit is shown on the Balance Sheet as "Collateral on PLR energy supply to/from affiliate," a current asset of PPL Energy Supply and a current liability of PPL Electric. PPL Electric pays interest equal to the one-month LIBOR plus 0.5% on this deposit, which is included in "Interest Expense with Affiliate" on the Statement of Income.

In 2001, PPL Electric made a $90 million up-front payment to PPL EnergyPlus in connection with the PLR contracts. The up-front payment is being amortized by both parties over the term of the PLR contracts. The unamortized balance of this payment and other payments under the contract was $52 million at June 30, 2005, and $58 million at December 31, 2004. This balance is reported on the Balance Sheet as "Prepayment on PLR energy supply from affiliate" by PPL Electric, and as "Deferred revenue on PLR energy supply to affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply.

NUG Purchases (PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL Electric has a reciprocal contract with PPL EnergyPlus to sell electricity purchased under contracts with NUGs. PPL Electric purchases electricity from the NUGs at contractual rates and then sells the electricity at the same price to PPL EnergyPlus. For the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, these NUG purchases totaled $32 million and $39 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, these NUG purchases totaled $70 million and $76 million. These amounts are included in the Statement of Income as "Wholesale electric to affiliate" by PPL Electric, and as "Energy purchases from affiliate" by PPL Energy Supply.

Allocations of Corporate Service Costs(PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

PPL Services provides corporate functions such as financial, legal, human resources and information services. PPL Services bills the respective PPL subsidiaries for the cost of such services when they can be specifically identified. The cost of these services that is not directly charged to PPL subsidiaries is allocated to certain of the subsidiaries based on an average of the subsidiaries' relative invested capital, operation and maintenance expenses, and number of employees. PPL Services allocated the following charges to PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric:

		Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
		2005		2004		2005		2004

Intercompany Borrowings

(PPL Energy Supply)

PPL Energy Supply had no notes receivable from affiliates at June 30, 2005, and December 31, 2004. Interest earned on cash collateral and loans to affiliates, included in "Other Income - net" on the Statement of Income, was $3 million and $5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, and $1 million for each of the same periods in 2004.

In May 2004, PPL Energy Supply issued a $495 million note payable to an affiliate. The balance was $195 million at June 30, 2005, and $495 million at December 31, 2004, and is shown on the Balance Sheet as "Note Payable to Affiliate." The note matures in May 2010 with interest payable monthly in arrears at LIBOR plus 1%. Interest expense on this note was $3 million and $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, and $1 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2004. This interest is reflected in "Interest Expense with Affiliates" on the Statement of Income.

(PPL Electric)

In August 2004, a PPL Electric subsidiary made a $300 million demand loan to an affiliate, with interest due quarterly at a rate equal to the 3-month LIBOR plus 1.25%. This loan is shown on the Balance Sheet as "Note receivable from affiliate." Interest earned on loans to affiliates, included in "Other Income - net" on the Statement of Income, was $3 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, and insignificant for each of the same periods in 2004.

Trademark Royalties (PPL Energy Supply)

A PPL subsidiary owns PPL trademarks and bills certain affiliates for their use. PPL Energy Supply was allocated $8 million of this license fee for each of the three months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, and $15 million and $16 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004. The allocation of this license fee is primarily included in "Other operation and maintenance" on the Statement of Income.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial and physical contracts, including forwards, futures and swaps, to hedge the price risk associated with electric, gas and oil commodities. These contracts range in maturity through 2010. Additionally, PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial interest rate swap contracts to hedge interest expense associated with both existing and anticipated debt issuances. These interest rate swap contracts range in maturity through 2016. PPL and PPL Energy Supply also enter into foreign currency forward contracts to hedge the cash flows associated with foreign currency-denominated debt, the exchange rates associated with firm commitments denominated in foreign currencies and the net investment of foreign operations. These forward contracts range in maturity through 2028.

Net investment hedge activity is reported in the foreign currency translation adjustments component of other comprehensive income. PPL recorded insignificant amounts for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, and recorded net investment hedge losses, after tax, of $1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

Cash flow hedges may be discontinued if it is probable that the original forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. PPL and PPL Energy Supply did not discontinue any cash flow hedges for that reason during the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. Due to the extinguishment of a consolidated trust's debt related to the Sundance and University Park generating facilities in June 2004, interest rate swaps that hedged the interest payments on the debt were terminated. Therefore, PPL and PPL Energy Supply reclassified a $3 million pre-tax loss from other comprehensive income to "Interest Expense" on the Statement of Income. PPL and PPL Energy Supply did not discontinue any other cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

Due to hedge ineffectiveness, PPL and PPL Energy Supply reclassified a gain of $2 million, after tax, and an insignificant amount from other comprehensive income into earnings (reported in "Wholesale energy marketing" and "Energy purchases" on the Statement of Income) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005. PPL and PPL Energy Supply reclassified an insignificant amount into earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004.

As of June 30, 2005, the deferred net loss, after tax, on derivative instruments in "Accumulated other comprehensive income" expected to be reclassified into earnings during the next twelve months was $38 million for PPL and $33 million for PPL Energy Supply.

The following table shows the change in accumulated unrealized gains or losses on derivatives, after tax, in accumulated other comprehensive income for the following periods:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,

Related Implementation Issue

During the second quarter of 2005, industry participants and external auditors recognized disparities in the accounting for Financial Transmission Rights (FTRs). FTRs are financial instruments established to manage price risk related to electricity transmission congestion. An FTRentitles the holder to receive compensation or remit payment for certain congestion-related transmission charges that arise when the transmission grid is congested. As FTR markets have evolved within RTOs, some companies began to account for them as derivatives under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." Had PPL accounted for FTRs as derivatives as of June 30, 2005, PPL would have recognized additional derivative assets of an insignificant amount, representing the change in the FTRs' value since the time PPL committed to purchasing the FTRs. Valuing FTRs requires significant judgment because market prices are generally only observable when RTOs conduct monthly auctions for the next month; therefore, the June 30, 2005, value reflects a significant modeling reserve. PPL began to apply derivative accounting rules to FTRs effective July 1, 2005. PPL has commitments to purchase FTRs from RTOs that total $18 million through May 2006.

Credit Concentration

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into contracts with many entities for the purchase and sale of energy. Many of these contracts are considered a normal part of doing business and, as such, the mark-to-market value of these contracts is not reflected in the financial statements. However, the mark-to-market value of these contracts is considered when committing to new business from a credit perspective.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply have credit exposures to energy trading partners. The majority of these exposures are the mark-to-market value of multi-year contracts for energy sales and purchases. Therefore, if these counterparties fail to perform their obligations under such contracts, PPL and PPL Energy Supply would not experience an immediate financial loss, but would experience lower revenues or higher costs in future years to the extent that replacement sales or purchases could not be made at the same prices as those under the defaulted contracts.

At June 30, 2005, PPL had a credit exposure of $350 million to energy trading partners. Eleven counterparties accounted for 76% of this exposure. No other individual counterparty accounted for more than 3% of the exposure. Ten of the eleven counterparties had an investment grade credit rating from S&P. The non-investment grade counterparty has remained current on obligations under its contracts, and has supplied a letter of credit as collateral against its obligations.

At June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply had a credit exposure of $348 million to energy trading partners. Eleven counterparties accounted for 76% of this exposure. No other individual counterparty accounted for more than 3% of the exposure. Ten of the eleven counterparties had an investment grade credit rating from S&P. The non-investment grade counterparty has remained current on obligations under its contracts, and has supplied a letter of credit as collateral against its obligations.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply generally have the right to request collateral from their counterparties in the event that the counterparties' credit ratings fall below investment grade. It is also the policy of PPL and PPL Energy Supply to enter into netting agreements with all of their counterparties to minimize credit exposure.

(PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

Prior to 2004, PPL Energy Supply had an exposure to PPL Electric under the long-term contract for PPL EnergyPlus to provide PPL Electric's PLR load. However, beginning in 2004, increases in electricity prices reversed this position. PPL Electric estimates that, at June 30, 2005, the market price of electricity would exceed the contract price by approximately $2.4 billion. In accordance with the terms of one of the PLR contracts, PPL Energy Supply provided PPL Electric with cash collateral in the amount of $300 million, the maximum amount required under the contract. This is the only credit exposure for PPL Electric that has a mark-to-market element. No other counterparty accounts for more than 1% of PPL Electric's total exposure.

15.   Asset Retirement Obligations

(PPL and PPL Energy Supply)

The change in the carrying amounts of the AROs was as follows:

ARO at December 31, 2004	$	257
Add: Accretion expense		10
Add: Additional liabilities		3
ARO at June 30, 2005	$	270

PPL and PPL Energy Supply identified and recorded $3 million of other asset retirement obligations related to interim retirements of certain equipment at the Susquehanna station during 2005.

Funds in the nuclear decommissioning trust are legally restricted for purposes of settling PPL's and PPL Energy Supply's ARO related to the decommissioning of the Susquehanna station. PPL Electric collects authorized nuclear decommissioning costs through the CTC. These revenues are passed on to PPL EnergyPlus under the power supply agreements between PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus. Similarly, these revenues are passed on to PPL Susquehanna under a power supply agreement between PPL EnergyPlus and PPL Susquehanna. These revenues, less applicable taxes, are used to fund the nuclear plant decommissioning trust funds and can only be used for future decommissioning costs. The aggregate fair value of the nuclear plant decommissioning trust funds was $419 million as of June 30, 2005, and $409 million as of December 31, 2004.

See Note 16 for a discussion of FASB Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143," and its potential impact on PPL and its subsidiaries.

16.   New Accounting Standards

(PPL, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric)

SFAS 123(R)

In December 2004, the FASB issued SFAS 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment," which is known as SFAS 123(R) and replaces SFAS 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," as amended by SFAS 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation-Transition and Disclosure."  Among other things, SFAS 123(R) eliminates the alternative to use the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation.  SFAS 123(R) requires public entities to recognize compensation expense for awards of equity instruments to employees based on the grant-date fair value of the awards.  SFAS 123(R) was originally effective for public entities that do not file as small business issuers as of the beginning of the first interim or annual reporting period that begins after June 15, 2005.  However, in April 2005, the SEC issued a rule that amended Regulation S-X to change this effective date to the beginning of an entity's fiscal year that begins on or after June 15, 2005.

SFAS 123(R) requires public entities to apply the modified prospective application transition method of adoption.  Under this application, entities must recognize compensation expense based on the grant-date fair value for new awards granted or modified after the effective date and for unvested awards outstanding on the effective date.  Additionally, public entities may choose to apply modified retrospective application to periods before the effective date of SFAS 123(R).  This application may be applied either to all prior years for which SFAS 123 was effective or only to prior interim periods in the year of initial adoption of SFAS 123(R).  Under modified retrospective application, prior periods would be adjusted to recognize compensation expense as though stock-based awards granted, modified or settled in cash in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 1994, had been accounted for under SFAS 123.

PPL and its subsidiaries must adopt SFAS 123(R) no later than January 1, 2006.  PPL and its subsidiaries do not plan to apply modified retrospective application to any periods prior to the date of adoption.  In addition, PPL and its subsidiaries adopted the fair-value method of accounting for stock-based compensation under SFAS 123 effective January 1, 2003.  Therefore, the adoption of SFAS 123(R) is not expected to have a material impact on PPL and its subsidiaries.

FIN 47

In March 2005, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 47, "Accounting for Conditional Asset Retirement Obligations, an Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 143."  FIN 47 clarifies that an entity is required to recognize a liability for the fair value of a conditional asset retirement obligation when incurred if the liability's fair value can be reasonably estimated.  FIN 47 also clarifies when an entity would be expected to have sufficient information to reasonably estimate the fair value of an asset retirement obligation.  FIN 47 is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2005.  The impact of initially applying FIN 47 is required to be recognized as a cumulative effect of a change in accounting principle.  Retrospective application of interim financial information is permitted but not required. 

PPL and its subsidiaries are currently in the process of reviewing (i) certain obligations to perform asset retirement activities that are conditional upon a future event occurring and (ii) certain legal retirement obligations that were identified but are not measurable at this time due to indeterminable dates of retirement.  The potential impact of applying the guidance in FIN 47 to these items is not yet determinable, but could be material.

17.   Subsequent Events - 2-for-1 Stock Split and Dividend Increase

(PPL)

On August 2, 2005, the Board of Directors of PPL approved a 2-for-1 stock split of PPL's common stock. The record date for the stock split is August 17, 2005, and the distribution date will be August 24, 2005. The share and per share amounts included in PPL's consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, do not reflect the stock split. At the distribution date, the share and per share amounts included in PPL's consolidated financial statements will be adjusted to reflect the stock split in both future and prior periods, and PPL's stock-based compensation awards and the conversion rate and market price trigger of PPL Energy Supply's 2-5/8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023 will also be adjusted to reflect the stock split.

Also on August 2, 2005, the Board of Directors of PPL approved an increase to its quarterly common stock dividend, payable October 1, 2005, to 50 cents per share, equivalent to $2.00 per annum. (After giving effect to the 2-for-1 stock split, the dividend is 25 cents per share, equivalent to $1.00 per annum.) The record date for the October 1 dividend is September 9, 2005. Future dividends, declared at the discretion of the Board of Directors, will be dependent upon future earnings, cash flows, financial requirements and other factors.

The following table presents average shares of common stock outstanding (basic and diluted, in thousands), earnings per average common share (basic and diluted) and dividends per common share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004, on a pro forma basis as if the stock split had been reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

PPL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

PPL is an energy and utility holding company with headquarters in Allentown, PA. In PPL's 2004 Form 10-K, descriptions of its major segments are found in "Item 1. Business - Background" and the current corporate organizational structure is shown in Exhibit 99. Through its subsidiaries, PPL is primarily engaged in the generation and marketing of electricity in two key markets - the northeastern and western U.S. - and in the delivery of electricity in Pennsylvania, the U.K. and Latin America. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in PPL's 2004 Form 10-K for an overview of PPL's strategy and the risks and the challenges that it faces in its business.

PPL's reportable segments are Supply, International Delivery and Pennsylvania Delivery. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements for further segment information.

The following information should be read in conjunction with PPL's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes.

Terms and abbreviations are explained in the glossary. Dollars are in millions, except per share data, unless otherwise noted.

Results of Operations

The following discussion begins with a review of PPL's earnings and a description of key factors by segment that management expects may impact future earnings. "Results of Operations" continues with a summary of results by reportable segment and ends with explanations of significant changes in principal items on PPL's Statement of Income, comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, to the comparable periods in 2004.

WPD's results, as consolidated in PPL's Statement of Income, are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, changes in foreign exchange rates increased WPD's portion of revenue and expense line items by about 4% and 5%.

PPL's results in 2005 and 2004 were impacted by the reclassification of the operating losses of the Sundance plant prior to its sale in the second quarter of 2005. See Note 1 to the Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Statement of Income reflects the results of past operations and is not intended as any indication of future operating results. Future operating results will necessarily be affected by various and diverse factors and developments. Furthermore, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and by seasonal variations, the results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate results or trends for the year.

Earnings

Net income and the related EPS were as follows:

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005		2004		2005		2004
Net income	$	128	$	148	$	296	$	325

The period-to-period changes in earnings components, including domestic gross energy margins by region and income statement line items, are discussed following the future earnings factors and segment results.

PPL's 2005 and future earnings could be, or will be, impacted by a number of key factors, including the following:

Supply Segment:

·   PPL's future energy margins will be impacted by changes in market prices for electricity, as well as fluctuations in fuel prices, fuel transportation costs and emission allowance expenses. For instance, although PPL expects market prices for electricity in 2005 to be higher than in 2004, PPL is not expecting an increase in its 2005 energy margins due to expected increases in the cost of fuel, fuel transportation and emissions allowances.

·   A key part of PPL's overall strategy has been to enter into long-term energy supply agreements in order to mitigate market price and supply risk. Whether PPL continues to enter into such agreements or renews existing energy supply agreements and the market conditions at that time will affect its future earnings. For example, based on current forward energy prices, PPL currently expects that, upon the expiration of certain of its existing supply agreements, it may be able to enter new supply agreements or arrangements at significantly higher market prices than the prices included in those existing supply agreements. See "Energy Purchases, Energy Sales and Other Commitments" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding PPL's wholesale energy commitments and "PLR Contracts" in Note 10 for more information regarding the PLR contracts.

·   Due to current electricity and natural gas price levels, there is a risk that PPL may be unable to recover its investment in certain gas-fired generation facilities. Under GAAP, PPL does not believe that there is an impairment charge to be recorded for these facilities at this time. PPL is unable to predict the earnings impact of this issue, based upon future energy and fuel price levels, applicable accounting rules and other factors, but such impact may be material.

·   In May 2005, a subsidiary of PPL Generation completed the sale of its 450 MW Sundance power plant located in Pinal County, Arizona to Arizona Public Service Company for approximately $190 million in cash. Proceeds of the sale were used to reduce PPL's outstanding debt and improve liquidity. PPL recognized a non-cash loss on the sale of approximately $47 million after tax (or $0.24 per share) in the second quarter of 2005 related to this transaction.

·   PPL's ability to manage operational risk with respect to its generation plants is critical to its financial performance. Specifically, depending on the timing and duration of both planned and unplanned outages (in particular, if such outages are during peak periods or during periods of, or caused by, severe weather), PPL's revenue from energy sales could be adversely affected and its need to purchase power at then-current market prices to satisfy its energy commitments could be significantly increased.

·   PPL has interests in two synthetic fuel facilities and receives tax credits pursuant to Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code based on its sale of synthetic fuel to unaffiliated third-party purchasers. PPL has estimated that these facilities will contribute approximately $0.21 to annual EPS through 2007, when the availability of such tax credits is scheduled to expire. See "IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the requirements to receive the Section 29 tax credits and the impact of higher oil prices on the Section 29 tax credits. Also see "Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" for a discussion of PPL's risk management activities to mitigate the impact of a potential phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credit due to high oil prices.

·   To comply with existing and future environmental requirements and as a result of voluntary pollution control measures it may take, PPL expects to spend significant amounts on environmental control and compliance in the future. The costs of such measures, in most cases, are not now determinable with certainty. For instance, PPL's current cost estimates for sulfur dioxide reduction at its generating plants are preliminary and PPL could incur significantly higher capital and operating expenses due to more stringent environmental requirements, changing market conditions with respect to the cost of pollution control equipment or emissions allowances, delays in the installation of pollution control equipment or other factors. See "Environmental Matters - Domestic" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding current environmental requirements and initiatives, including those relating to air emissions, and PPL's anticipated capital expenditure program to meet the sulfur dioxide reduction requirements of the Clean Air Act.

·   In May 2005, PPL and NorthWestern reached an agreement in principle to settle litigation described under "NorthWestern Corporation Litigation" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements. See Note 9 for more information regarding this matter, including the agreement in principle and the status of the settlement discussions. PPL recognized a charge of $6 million after tax (or $0.03 per share), in the first quarter of 2005 for a loss contingency related to this matter. PPL cannot be certain of the outcome of this matter.

International Delivery Segment:

·   Earnings in 2005 and beyond are expected to continue to be adversely affected by increased pension costs. Specifically, WPD will experience increased pension costs due to a recent actuarial valuation of WPD's plans that reflects higher pension obligations. The increase in pension costs in 2005 is forecasted to be approximately $24 million, after tax, and the increase in pension costs is expected to continue to be significant in 2006. An additional $4 million of expense, after tax, was recognized in the first quarter of 2005 related to termination benefits.

Pennsylvania Delivery Segment:

·   In December 2004, the PUC approved an increase in PPL Electric's distribution rates of approximately $137 million (based on a return on equity of 10.7%), and approved PPL Electric's proposed mechanism for collecting an additional $57 million in transmission-related charges, for a total increase of approximately $194 million, effective January 1, 2005.

·   PPL Electric has agreed to provide electricity supply to its PLR customers at predetermined rates through 2009 and has entered into PUC-approved, full requirements energy supply agreements with PPL EnergyPlus to fulfill its PLR obligation. The predetermined charges for generation supply which PPL Electric collects from its PLR customers and pays to PPL EnergyPlus under the energy supply agreements provide for annual increases in each year commencing in 2006 and continuing through 2009. PPL Electric's PLR obligation after 2009 will be determined by the PUC pursuant to rules that have not yet been promulgated. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding the PLR contracts.

·   In January 2005, severe ice storms hit PPL Electric's service territory. PPL Electric had to restore service to approximately 238,000 customers. Although the actual cost of these storms and the specific allocation of such cost between operation and maintenance expense and capital costs is not yet finalized, PPL Electric currently estimates a total cost of $21 million, with approximately $18 million (or $0.05 per share), being recorded as an expense on PPL Electric's income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

On February 11, 2005, PPL Electric filed a petition with the PUC for authority to defer and amortize for regulatory accounting and reporting purposes its actual cost of these storms, excluding capitalized costs of approximately $3 million and regular payroll expenses of approximately $2 million (pursuant to PUC precedent on this issue). If the PUC grants this petition, PPL Electric's management will assess the recoverability of these costs in PPL Electric's next general rate increase proceeding, in accordance with SFAS 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." Depending on the likelihood of such recovery based on this assessment, most of the first quarter expense could be reversed in that future period. At this time, PPL Electric cannot predict the outcome of its deferral petition or the likelihood of recovery of these storm costs.

PPL also cannot predict whether other incidents of severe weather will cause significant facility damages and service disruptions that would also result in significant costs.

·   As a result of the Order issued by the FERC in connection with the litigation described under "PJM Billing" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements, PPL recognized an after-tax charge of $27 million (or $0.14 per share) in the first quarter of 2005 for a loss contingency related to the litigation. PPL cannot be certain of the outcome of this matter or the impact on PPL and its subsidiaries.

All Segments:

·   PPL is unable to predict whether future impairments of goodwill may be required for its domestic and international investments. While no goodwill impairments were required based on the annual review performed in the fourth quarter of 2004, future impairments may occur due to determinations of carrying value exceeding the fair value of these investments.

·   From time to time, PPL and its subsidiaries are involved in negotiations with third parties regarding acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets. Any such transactions may impact future earnings.

·   See Note 9 to the Financial Statements for other potential commitments and contingent liabilities that may impact future earnings.

·   See Note 16 to the Financial Statements for new accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted by PPL that may impact future earnings.

·   See "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" for an explanation of non-trading margins by geographic region and for an explanation of net energy trading margins.

·   Higher operation and maintenance expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation for retirement-eligible employees, which resulted from additional accounting guidance. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information. Also, expenses increased for both periods due to outage costs at the Colstrip Unit 2 and Corette facilities.

·   The improved earnings contribution from synfuel projects for both periods resulted primarily from the Tyrone facility that began commercial operation during the third quarter of 2004.

International Delivery Segment

The International Delivery segment owns and operates international energy businesses that are focused on the distribution of electricity. The segment primarily consists of the operations of the regulated international energy businesses of PPL Global. The majority of PPL Global's international businesses are located in the U.K., Chile, El Salvador and Bolivia.

Segment net income was as follows:

·   The U.K.'s earnings were positively impacted in both periods by favorable currency exchange rates, and higher delivery margins for the three months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to favorable customer mix. These favorable variances were offset by higher operation and maintenance expenses, primarily due to increased pension costs in both periods.

·   U.S. income taxes decreased primarily due to greater utilization of foreign tax credits in both periods.

Pennsylvania Delivery Segment

The Pennsylvania Delivery segment includes the regulated electric and gas delivery operations of PPL Electric and PPL Gas Utilities.

·   Delivery revenues increased for both periods as a result of higher transmission and distribution customer rates effective January 1, 2005, and a 2.2% increase in electricity delivery sales volumes for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

·   The increase in operation and maintenance expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to the costs incurred in January 2005 to restore electric service to customers as a result of severe ice storms that affected portions of PPL Electric's service territory. The increase was also due to accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation for retirement-eligible employees, which resulted from additional accounting guidance. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information on stock-based compensation.

·   Taxes, other than income, benefited in 2004 from the reversal of 1998 and 1999 PURTA tax accruals related to the PPL Susquehanna tax appeals.

Consolidated Statement of Income Line Item Discussion --

Domestic Gross Energy Margins

The following table provides pre-tax changes in the income statement line items that comprise domestic gross energy margins:

			June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
			Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Utility			$	102		$	168
Unregulated retail electric				(6	)		(12	)

Other cost adjustments (a)				(9	)		(54	)
	Total cost of sales			13			7
		Domestic gross energy margins	$	(13	)	$	6

(a) Adjusted to exclude the impact of any revenues and costs not associated with domestic gross energy margins, in particular, revenues and energy costs related to the international operations of PPL Global, the domestic delivery operations of PPL Electric and PPL Gas Utilities and an accrual for the loss contingency related to the PJM billing dispute in March 2005 (see Note 9 to the Financial Statements for additional information). Also adjusted to include gains or losses on sales of emission allowances, which are included in "Other operation and maintenance" expenses on the Statement of Income.

Changes in Domestic Gross Energy Margins By Region

Domestic gross energy margins are generated through PPL's normal hedging (non-trading) activities, as well as trading activities. PPL manages its non-trading energy business on a geographic basis that is aligned with its generation assets. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, PPL participates in the Midwest ISO (MISO), an independent transmission system operator that serves the electric transmission needs of much of the Midwest. PPL records its business activities within MISO consistent with its accounting for activities in other RTOs.

		June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
		Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Eastern U.S.		$	(8	)	$	18
Northwestern U.S.			5			(9	)
Southwestern U.S.			(3	)		(6	)
Net energy trading			(7	)		3
	Domestic gross energy margins	$	(13	)	$	6

Eastern U.S.

Eastern U.S. non-trading margins were lower for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, due to lower sales volumes and higher fuel and purchased power prices. Wholesale sales volumes decreased 22% in conjunction with reduced generation. PPL's generation was down 6% over 2004 due to outages at coal-fired stations, as well as lower economic dispatch from its oil-fired station. The average cost of fuel increased only 2% despite a 15% increase in the average cost of consumed coal, primarily due to the diverse mix of generation that included higher nuclear generation in 2005. In addition, power purchase prices increased by 15%, primarily as a result of higher market prices for fossil fuel. Partially offsetting lower sales volumes and higher purchase prices were favorable transmission congestion positions and gains on sales of emission allowances, as well as higher PLR revenues. PLR sales prices increased 2% in accordance with the schedule established by the PUC.

Eastern U.S. non-trading margins were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, due to higher average PLR sales prices and wholesale prices. Wholesale prices also increased by 9% due to higher market prices for fossil fuel. These favorable drivers were partially offset by higher fossil fuel prices; the average consumed cost of fuel increased 9% compared to 2004, primarily due to coal price increases. In addition, PPL benefited from favorable transmission congestion positions, and gains on sales of emission allowances.

Northwestern U.S.

Northwestern U.S. non-trading margins were higher for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily due to a retroactive coal price increase caused by an unfavorable arbitration ruling effective April 2004, which increased the cost of coal at PPL Montana's Colstrip plant. An incremental expense of $6 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2004, as a result of the ruling, most of which related to years 2001 to 2003.

Northwestern U.S. non-trading margins were lower for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, due to an extended outage at a coal-fired station. Overall, generation decreased 9% compared to 2004. Partially offsetting this margin decrease was the effect of the $6 million incremental coal cost recorded in 2004 to reflect the unfavorable arbitration ruling.

Southwestern U.S.

Southwestern U.S. non-trading margins decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004. The reduction in margins was primarily due to the cost incurred to terminate a tolling arrangement on the Griffith plant during the second quarter of 2005, as well as lower generation in 2005.

Net Energy Trading

PPL enters into certain energy contracts that meet the criteria of trading derivatives as defined by EITF Issue 02-3, "Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities." These physical and financial contracts cover trading activity associated with electricity, gas and oil. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to a decrease in unrealized gains on electricity, oil and gas positions. The physical volumes associated with energy trading for the three months ended June 30, 2005, were 1,200 GWh and 3.1 Bcf, compared with 1,186 GWh and 1.8 Bcf for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to an increase in gains on wholesale electricity positions. The physical volumes associated with energy trading for the six months ended June 30, 2005, were 2,265 GWh and 7.6 Bcf, compared with 2,180 GWh and 4.3 Bcf for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Utility Revenues

The increases in utility revenues were attributable to the following:

			June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
			Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Domestic:
	Retail electric revenue (PPL Electric)
		Electric delivery	$	50		$	82
		PLR electric generation supply		25			41
	Gas revenue (PPL Gas Utilities)			4			11
	Wholesale electric revenue (PPL Electric)			1			(2	)
	Other			(7	)		(7	)
International:
	Retail electric delivery (PPL Global)
		Chile		14			21
		U.K.		13			17
		El Salvador		2			5
			$	102		$	168

The increases for both periods were primarily due to:

·   higher domestic delivery revenues resulting from higher transmission and distribution customer rates effective January 1, 2005;

·   higher PLR revenues due to higher energy and capacity rates and increases in volumes of 2.3% and 4.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, in part due to the return of customers previously served by alternate suppliers;

·   higher PPL Gas Utilities revenues, primarily due to the increase in natural gas prices which are a pass-through to customer rates and an increase in volumes;

·   higher revenues in Chile primarily due to a 7.8% and 7.6% increase in sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, and higher average prices overall; and

·   higher U.K. revenues, primarily due to the change in foreign currency exchange rates and an increase in unit prices effective April 1, 2005, partially offset by a reduction in certain charges which had been a pass-through to customer rates.

The six month period ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, was also impacted by a 2.2% increase in domestic delivery sales volumes.

Energy Related Businesses

Energy related businesses contributed $2 million more to operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to:

·   an aggregate increase of $3 million from domestic subsidiaries, including PPL Telcom, the energy services subsidiaries and a pipeline subsidiary; and

·   an aggregate increase of $2 million from various international subsidiary businesses; offset by

·   additional pre-tax losses in 2005 of $5 million on synfuel projects. This reflects $11 million of additional expenses due to higher production levels, offset by a $6 million unrealized gain on options purchased to hedge the risk associated with synthetic fuel tax credits for 2006 and 2007.

Energy related businesses contributed $13 million more to operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to:

·   a $15 million pre-tax loss in 2004, related to the sale of CGE (see Note 8 to the Financial Statements);

·   an aggregate increase of $4 million from various international subsidiary businesses;

·   a $2 million increase from PPL Telcom due to an increase in transport-related sales, as well as reduced spending on a product line; and

·   a $3 million increase from energy services subsidiaries due to a favorable closeout on a major project, improved margins and an increase in business; partially offset by

·   additional pre-tax losses in 2005 of $11 million on synfuel projects. This reflects $17 million of additional expenses due to higher production levels, offset by a $6 million unrealized gain on options purchased to hedge the risk associated with synthetic fuel tax credits for 2006 and 2007.

Other Operation and Maintenance

The increases in other operation and maintenance expenses were due to:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Increase in domestic and international pension costs	$	14		$	28
Outage costs at the Colstrip Unit 2 and Corette facilities		3			4
Increase in foreign currency exchange rates		1			3
Gain on sales of emission allowances		(4	)		(11	)
Costs associated with severe ice storms in January 2005		(1	)		18
Accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation (Note 2)		1			18
NorthWestern litigation accrual (Note 9)					9
Reduction in WPD costs that are a pass-through to customers		(1	)		(6	)
	$	13		$	63

The increases in net pension costs were primarily attributable to a reduction in the discount rate assumptions for PPL's domestic pension plans at December 31, 2004, increased amortization of prior year actuarial losses for WPD's pension plans and termination benefits. These events will result in PPL's recognition of increased net pension costs in 2005. See Note 13 to the Financial Statements for details of the costs of PPL's pension plans.

Depreciation

The increases in depreciation expense were due to:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Lower Mt. Bethel generation facility, which began commercial operation in May 2004	$	2		$	6
Other additions to PP&E		3			7
Foreign currency exchange rates		2			3
Extension of useful lives of certain fossil generation assets (Note 2)		(2	)		(5	)
	$	5		$	11

Taxes, Other Than Income

Taxes, other than income, increased by $6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily due to a $4 million increase in domestic gross receipts tax expense, which is a result of higher transmission and distribution customer rates effective January 1, 2005.

In the first quarter of 2004, PPL Electric reversed a $14 million accrued liability for 1998 and 1999 PURTA taxes that had been accrued based on potential exposure in the proceedings regarding the Susquehanna nuclear station tax assessment. The rights of third-party intervenors to further appeal expired in 2004. The reversal, and a $7 million increase in domestic gross receipts tax expense in 2005, are the primary reasons for the $22 million increase in taxes, other than income, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004.

Other Income - net

See Note 11 to the Financial Statements for details of other income.

Interest Expense

The increase (decrease) in interest expense was due to:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Interest expense related to the Lower Mt. Bethel generation facility, which began commercial operation in May 2004 (a)	$	5		$	14
Increase in interest expense due to hedging activities accounted for under SFAS 133, "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities"		9			10
Interest accrued for PJM billing dispute (Note 9)					8
Increase in short-term debt interest expense		1			3
Increase in foreign currency exchange rates		2			3
Decrease in interest expense due to the repayment in June 2004 of financing related to the University Park generation facility (b)		(4	)		(7	)
Financing costs associated with the repayment of the consolidated trust's debt for the University Park generation facility (b)		(6	)		(6	)
Decrease in other long-term debt interest expense		(15	)		(20	)
Other					1
	$	(8	)	$	6

(a)	Prior to commercial operation, interest related to the Lower Mt. Bethel financing was capitalized as part of the cost of the facility.
(b)	In June 2004, a subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply purchased the University Park generation facility from the lessor that was consolidated by PPL Energy Supply under FIN 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." In connection with the purchase, the related financing was repaid.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by $8 million and decreased by $33 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004. The changes were primarily attributable to:

·   tax benefits of $15 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, related to additional nonconventional fuel tax credits in excess of credits recognized for the same periods in 2004;

·   a $5 million increase and a $2 million decrease in tax expense on foreign earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, relative to the same periods in 2004; and

·   a $17 million increase and a $6 million decrease in income tax expense due to higher pre-tax book income for the three months and lower pre-tax book income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, relative to 2004.

See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for details on effective income tax rates.

Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2005, PPL recorded a $47 million loss, net of a tax benefit of $26 million, on the sale of its Sundance power plant. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information on the sale, along with information regarding operating losses recorded in 2004 and 2005 for the Sundance plant prior to the sale and for losses recorded in 2004 related to the sale of PPL Global's investment in a Latin American telecommunications company.

Financial Condition

Liquidity

At June 30, 2005, PPL had $366 million of cash and short-term investments and $162 million of short-term debt. At December 31, 2004, PPL had $682 million in cash and short-term investments and $42 million of short-term debt. The decrease in PPL's cash and short-term investment position was primarily the net result of:

·   the retirement of $907 million of long-term debt;

·   the payment of $166 million of common and preferred dividends;

·   a $49 million net increase in restricted cash; and

·   $359 million of capital expenditures; offset by

·   $614 million of cash provided by operating activities;

·   the issuance of $224 million of tax-exempt long-term debt at PPL Electric;

·   $190 million of proceeds from the sale of the Sundance generation plant; and

·   a $128 million net increase in short-term debt.

See Note 17 to the Financial Statements for information on an announcement in August 2005 to further increase the quarterly stock dividend.

In May 2003, PPL Energy Supply issued $400 million of 2-5/8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023. Based on the terms at the time of issuance, the Convertible Senior Notes could be settled entirely in cash or shares of PPL common stock. The notes were modified in November 2004 to require cash settlement of the principal amount, permit settlement of any conversion premium in cash or stock and eliminate a provision that required settlement in stock in the event of default.

The terms of the Convertible Senior Notes include a market price trigger that permits holders to convert the notes during any fiscal quarter if the closing sale price of PPL's common stock exceeds $59.67 for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. This market price trigger has not been met. However, PPL's common stock price currently is trading above $59.67. As described above, if the market price trigger is met and holders elect to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, PPL and PPL Energy Supply would be required to settle the par value in cash and any value above par in cash or common stock. PPL and PPL Energy Supply have, and expect to continue to have, sufficient liquidity sources to fund any such conversions.  See Note 17 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of PPL's 2-for-1 stock split to be completed in August 2005.

Rating Agency Decisions

S&P, Moody's and Fitch periodically review the credit ratings on the debt and preferred securities of PPL and its subsidiaries. Based on their respective reviews, the rating agencies may make certain ratings revisions.

The ratings of S&P, Moody's and Fitch are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any securities of PPL or its subsidiaries. Such ratings may be subject to revisions or withdrawal by the agencies at any time and should be evaluated independently of each other and any other rating that may be assigned to their securities.

In January 2005, S&P affirmed PPL Electric's A-/A-2 corporate credit ratings and favorably revised its outlook on the company to stable from negative following the authorization of a $194 million rate increase by the PUC. S&P indicated that the outlook revision reflects its expectations that the rate increase, effective January 1, 2005, will allow for material improvement in PPL Electric's financial profile, which had lagged S&P's expectations in recent years. S&P indicated that the stable outlook reflects its expectations that PPL Electric "will rapidly improve and then maintain financial metrics more consistent with its ratings." S&P indicated that it expects PPL Electric's operations to remain stable through the expiration of the PLR agreement.

Additionally, in January 2005, S&P revised its outlooks on the WPD companies to stable from negative. S&P attributes this positive change to financial profile improvements resulting from the final regulatory outcome published by Ofgem in November 2004. At the same time, S&P affirmed the WPD companies' long-term and short-term credit ratings.

Also in January 2005, Fitch announced that it downgraded the WPD companies' senior unsecured credit ratings by one notch as follows:

·   WPDH Limited to BBB- from BBB

·   WPD LLP to BBB from BBB+

·   WPD (South West) and WPD (South Wales) to BBB+/F2 from A-/F1

Fitch has a stable outlook on all of the WPD companies.

Fitch stated that its downgrade was prompted by the high level of pension-adjusted leverage at WPD. Fitch acknowledged that WPD's funding plan should reduce its pension deficit over time, and it expects WPD to proceed with its de-leveraging program. However, Fitch indicated that it is not certain enough, due to the unpredictability in future pension valuations, that pension-adjusted leverage will support a BBB rating at WPDH Limited. Fitch indicated that WPD (South West) and WPD (South Wales) have been downgraded to maintain a two-notch differential with WPDH Limited because Fitch does not believe that WPD's financial ring-fencing is restrictive enough to support a three-notch differential.

In June 2005, Moody's revised its outlooks to stable from negative on the senior unsecured debt and issuer ratings of WPDH Limited, the senior unsecured debt ratings of WPD LLP and the subordinated unsecured debt ratings of WPD LLP's subsidiary SIUK Capital Trust I. Moody's indicated that this positive change to the financial profiles resulted from a reduction in consolidated adjusted leverage at the WPD companies as a result of the redeployment to WPD of surplus cash from Latin American subsidiaries of PPL and from PPL's commitment to suspend its dividend from WPDH Limited in the current fiscal year. At the same time, Moody's affirmed the WPD companies' long-term and short-term credit rating. The outlook on the debt ratings of WPD (South Wales) and WPD (South West) was already stable.

For additional information on PPL's liquidity, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL's 2004 Form 10-K.

(b)	This information excludes any potential investments by PPL Global and PPL Development Company for new projects.

PPL's capital expenditure projections for the years 2005-2009 total approximately $5.5 billion. Capital expenditure plans are revised periodically to reflect changes in market and asset regulatory conditions. The above schedule has been revised from that which was presented in PPL's 2004 Form 10-K primarily to reflect the installation costs of sulfur dioxide scrubbers and other pollution control equipment. See Note 9 for additional information. PPL also leases vehicles, personal computers and other equipment, as described in Note 10 to the Financial Statements of PPL's 2004 Form 10-K.

Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other

Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk (Non-Trading)

PPL's commodity derivative contracts that hedge its commodity price risk mature at various times through 2010. The following chart sets forth PPL's net fair value of these contracts:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the beginning of the period	$	(106	)	$	85		$	(11	)	$	86
Contracts realized or otherwise settled during the period		(16	)		(21	)		(23	)		(45	)
Fair value of new contracts at inception		13						13
Other changes in fair values		(20	)		24			(108	)		47
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	(129	)	$	88		$	(129	)	$	88

The following chart segregates estimated fair values of PPL's commodity derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment at June 30, 2005, based on whether the fair values are determined by quoted market prices or other more subjective means:

	Fair Value of Contracts at Period-End Gains (Losses)
	Maturity Less Than 1 Year			Maturity 1-3 Years			Maturity 4-5 Years			Maturity in Excess of 5 Years	Total Fair Value
Source of Fair Value
Prices actively quoted	$	11		$	15		$	4			$	30
Prices provided by other external sources		(9	)		(127	)		(23	)			(159	)
Prices based on models and other valuation methods
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	2		$	(112	)	$	(19	)		$	(129	)

The "Prices actively quoted" category includes the fair value of exchange-traded natural gas futures contracts quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The NYMEX has currently quoted prices through 2010.

The "Prices provided by other external sources" category includes PPL's forward positions and options in natural gas and power and natural gas basis swaps at points for which over-the-counter (OTC) broker quotes are available. The fair value of electricity positions recorded above use the midpoint of the bid/ask spreads obtained through OTC brokers. On average, OTC quotes for forwards and swaps of natural gas and power extend one and two years into the future.

The "Prices based on models and other valuation methods" category includes the value of transactions for which a price curve was developed by PPL due to the long-dated nature of the transaction or the illiquidity of the market point, or the value of options not quoted by an exchange or OTC broker.

As of June 30, 2005, PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices of both electricity and fuel across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its non-trading portfolio by approximately $214 million. For purposes of this calculation, an increase in the market price for electricity is considered an adverse movement because PPL's electricity portfolio is generally in a net sales position, and a decrease in the market price for fuel is considered an adverse movement because PPL's commodity fuels portfolio is generally in a net purchase position. PPL enters into these commodity contracts to reduce the market risk inherent in the generation of electricity.

In accordance with its marketing strategy, PPL does not completely hedge its generation output or fuel requirements. PPL estimates that for its entire portfolio, including all generation and physical and financial energy positions, neither a 10% adverse change in power prices across all geographic zones and time periods nor a 10% adverse movement in all fossil fuel prices would have a material impact on expected 2005 gross margins.

The data in the above charts includes the activity for PPL's synthetic fuel tax credit hedges. Additional information regarding these hedges can be found in the "Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" section below.

Commodity Price Risk (Trading)

PPL also executes energy contracts to take advantage of market opportunities. As a result, PPL may at times create a net open position in its portfolio that could result in significant losses if prices do not move in the manner or direction anticipated. The margins from these trading activities are shown in the Statement of Income as "Net energy trading margins."

PPL's trading contracts mature at various times through 2008. The following chart sets forth PPL's net fair value of trading contracts:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the beginning of the period	$	16		$	11		$	10		$	3
Contracts realized or otherwise settled during the period		(3	)		(4	)		(7	)		(7	)
Fair value of new contracts at inception		1						4			4
Other changes in fair values		(3	)		5			4			12
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	11		$	12		$	11		$	12

PPL will reverse $2 million of the $11 million unrealized trading gains over the next three months of 2005 as the transactions are realized.

The following chart segregates estimated fair values of PPL's trading portfolio at June 30, 2005, based on whether the fair values are determined by quoted market prices or other more subjective means:

	Fair Value of Contracts at Period-End Gains (Losses)
	Maturity Less Than 1 Year		Maturity 1-3 Years		Maturity 4-5 Years			Maturity in Excess of 5 Years	Total Fair Value
Source of Fair Value
Prices actively quoted	$	1							$	1
Prices provided by other external sources		7	$	3	$	(1	)			9
Prices based on models and other valuation methods				1						1
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	8	$	4	$	(1	)		$	11

See "Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)" for information on the various sources of fair value.

As of June 30, 2005, PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its trading portfolio by $10 million.

Interest Rate Risk

PPL and its subsidiaries have issued debt to finance their operations. PPL utilizes various financial derivative products to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio, adjust the duration of its debt portfolio and lock in U.S. Treasury rates (and interest rate spreads over treasuries) in anticipation of future financing, when appropriate. Risk limits under the risk management program are designed to balance risk exposure to volatility in interest expense and changes in the fair value of PPL's debt portfolio due to changes in the absolute level of interest rates.

At June 30, 2005, PPL's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was estimated at $5 million.

PPL is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its domestic and international debt portfolios. At June 30, 2005, PPL estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of its debt portfolio, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was approximately $192 million.

PPL utilizes various risk management instruments to reduce its exposure to the expected future cash flow variability of its debt instruments. These risks include exposure to adverse interest rate movements for outstanding variable rate debt and for future anticipated financing. While PPL is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in equity and then reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the item being hedged affects earnings. At June 30, 2005, the market value of these instruments, representing the amount PPL would pay upon their termination, was approximately $4 million. At June 30, 2005, PPL estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in the hedged exposure, was approximately $8 million.

PPL also utilizes various risk management instruments to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio. While PPL is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any change in market value is recorded with an equal and offsetting change in the value of the debt being hedged. At June 30, 2005, PPL estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was approximately $11 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

PPL is exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily through investments in affiliates in Latin America and Europe. In addition, PPL may make purchases of equipment in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

PPL has adopted a foreign currency risk management program designed to hedge certain foreign currency exposures, including firm commitments, recognized assets or liabilities and net investments. In addition, PPL enters into financial instruments to protect against foreign currency translation risk.

To protect expected income denominated in British pounds sterling, PPL entered into average rate options for £32 million. These options terminate in November 2005. At June 30, 2005, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL would receive upon their termination, was approximately $1 million.

To protect expected income in Chilean pesos, PPL entered into an average rate forward for 4 billion Chilean pesos. The settlement date of this forward is November 2005. At June 30, 2005, the market value of this position, representing the amount PPL would receive upon its termination, was insignificant.

PPL executed net forward sale transactions for £10 million to hedge a portion of its net investment in WPDH Limited. In May 2005, PPL entered into an offsetting transaction effectively closing this hedge. Both trades are scheduled to expire in December 2005. The net amount PPL will owe upon settlement of these trades is approximately $1 million.

WPDH Limited held a net position in cross-currency swaps totaling $1.1 billion to hedge the interest payments and value of its U.S. dollar-denominated bonds with maturity dates ranging from December 2006 to December 2028. The estimated value of this position at June 30, 2005, being the amount PPL would pay to terminate it, including accrued interest, was approximately $183 million.

On the Statement of Income, gains and losses associated with hedges of interest payments denominated in foreign currencies are reflected in "Interest Expense." Gains and losses associated with the purchase of equipment are reflected in "Depreciation." Gains and losses associated with net investment hedges remain in "Accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the Balance Sheet until the investment is disposed.

Nuclear Decommissioning Fund - Securities Price Risk

In connection with certain NRC requirements, PPL Susquehanna maintains trust funds to fund certain costs of decommissioning the Susquehanna station. As of June 30, 2005, these funds were invested primarily in domestic equity securities and fixed-rate, fixed-income securities and are reflected at fair value on PPL's Balance Sheet. The mix of securities is designed to provide returns to be used to fund Susquehanna's decommissioning and to compensate for inflationary increases in decommissioning costs. However, the equity securities included in the trusts are exposed to price fluctuation in equity markets, and the values of fixed-rate, fixed-income securities in the trusts are exposed to changes in interest rates. PPL Susquehanna actively monitors the investment performance and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with its nuclear decommissioning trust policy statement. At June 30, 2005, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and a 10% decrease in equity prices would have resulted in an estimated $31 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets. See the "Nuclear Decommissioning" Note in the 2004 Form 10-K for more information regarding the nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk

Rising oil prices threaten to reduce the amount of synthetic fuel tax credits that PPL expects to receive through its synthetic fuel production. The tax credits are reduced if the annual average wellhead price of domestic crude oil falls within a phase-out range. The tax credits are eliminated if this reference price exceeds the phase-out range.

With the recent sharp increase in oil prices, PPL faces a substantially higher risk that its synthetic fuel tax credits will be reduced. Consequently, PPL implemented a risk management objective to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with its 2006 and 2007 synthetic fuel tax credits by hedging the risk that the 2006 and 2007 annual average wellhead price for domestic crude oil will be within the phase-out range.

PPL purchased options in the second quarter of 2005 to mitigate reductions in synthetic fuel tax credits if the annual average wellhead price for 2006 and 2007 falls within the applicable phase-out range. These hedges did not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. The mark-to-market value of these hedges for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was a gain of $6 million and is reflected in "Energy related businesses" revenues.

As of June 30, 2005, PPL estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices of crude oil would have decreased the value of the synthetic fuel hedges by $7 million. For purposes of this calculation, a decrease in the market price for crude oil is considered an adverse movement.

Related Party Transactions

PPL is not aware of any material ownership interests or operating responsibility by senior management of PPL, PPL Energy Supply or PPL Electric in outside partnerships, including leasing transactions with variable interest entities, or other entities doing business with PPL.

For additional information on related party transactions, see Note 10 to the Financial Statements.

Acquisitions, Development and Divestitures

From time to time, PPL and its subsidiaries are involved in negotiations with third parties regarding acquisitions, joint ventures and other arrangements which may or may not result in definitive agreements.  See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information regarding recent development and divestiture activities.

PPL is currently planning incremental capacity increases of 255 MW at several existing domestic generating facilities.

PPL is continuously reexamining development projects based on market conditions and other factors to determine whether to proceed with these projects, sell them, cancel them, expand them, execute tolling agreements or pursue other opportunities.

Environmental Matters

See Note 9 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of environmental matters.

New Accounting Standards

See Note 16 to the Financial Statements for information on new accounting standards pending adoption.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

PPL's financial condition and results of operations are impacted by the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the application of critical accounting policies. The following accounting policies are particularly important to the financial condition or results of operations of PPL, and require estimates or other judgments of matters inherently uncertain: price risk management, pension and other postretirement benefits, asset impairment, leasing, loss accruals and asset retirement obligations.

See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL's 2004 Form 10-K for a discussion of each critical accounting policy. The potential impairment of the Sundance power plant is no longer a consideration, due to its sale in May 2005. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information. PPL's senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies, and the estimates and assumptions regarding them, with its Audit Committee. In addition, PPL's senior management reviewed the Form 10-K disclosures regarding the application of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

PPL ENERGY SUPPLY, LLC AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

PPL Energy Supply is an energy company with headquarters in Allentown, PA. In PPL Energy Supply's 2004 Form 10-K, a description of PPL Energy Supply's domestic and international businesses is found in "Item 1. Business - Background" and a listing of its principal subsidiaries is shown in Exhibit 99. Through its subsidiaries, PPL Energy Supply is primarily engaged in the generation and marketing of electricity in two key markets - the northeastern and western U.S. - and in the delivery of electricity in the U.K. and Latin America. See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in PPL Energy Supply's 2004 Form 10-K for an overview of PPL Energy Supply's strategy and the risks and the challenges that it faces in its business.

PPL Energy Supply's reportable segments are Supply and International Delivery. See Note 3 to the Financial Statements for further segment information.

The following information should be read in conjunction with PPL Energy Supply's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes.

Terms and abbreviations are explained in the glossary. Dollars are in millions unless otherwise noted.

Results of Operations

The following discussion begins with a review of PPL Energy Supply's earnings and a description of key factors by segment that management expects may impact future earnings. "Results of Operations" continues with a summary of results by reportable segment and ends with explanations of significant changes in principal items on PPL Energy Supply's Statement of Income, comparing the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, to the comparable periods in 2004.

WPD's results, as consolidated in PPL Energy Supply's Statement of Income, are impacted by changes in foreign currency exchange rates. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, changes in foreign exchange rates increased WPD's portion of revenue and expense line items by about 4% and 5%.

PPL Energy Supply's results in 2005 and 2004 were impacted by the reclassification of the operating losses of the Sundance plant prior to its sale in the second quarter of 2005. See Note 1 to the Financial Statements for further discussion.

The Statement of Income reflects the results of past operations and is not intended as any indication of future operating results. Future operating results will necessarily be affected by various and diverse factors and developments. Furthermore, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and by seasonal variations, the results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate results or trends for the year.

The period-to-period changes in earnings components, including domestic gross energy margins by region and income statement line items, are discussed following the future earnings factors and segment results.

PPL Energy Supply's 2005 and future earnings could be, or will be, impacted by a number of key factors, including the following:

Supply Segment:

·   PPL Energy Supply's future energy margins will be impacted by changes in market prices for electricity, as well as fluctuations in fuel prices, fuel transportation costs and emission allowance expenses. For instance, although PPL Energy Supply expects market prices for electricity in 2005 to be higher than in 2004, PPL Energy Supply is not expecting an increase in its 2005 energy margins due to expected increases in the cost of fuel, fuel transportation and emissions allowances.

·   A key part of PPL Energy Supply's overall strategy has been to enter into long-term energy supply agreements in order to mitigate market price and supply risk. Whether PPL Energy Supply continues to enter into such agreements or renews existing energy supply agreements and the market conditions at that time will affect its future earnings. For example, based on current forward energy prices, PPL Energy Supply currently expects that, upon the expiration of certain of its existing supply agreements, it may be able to enter new supply agreements or arrangements at significantly higher market prices than the prices included in those existing supply agreements. See "Energy Purchases, Energy Sales and Other Commitments" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding PPL Energy Supply's wholesale energy commitments and "PLR Contracts" in Note 10 for more information regarding the PLR contracts.

·   PPL Electric has agreed to provide electricity supply to its PLR customers at predetermined rates through 2009 and has entered into PUC-approved, full requirements energy supply agreements with PPL EnergyPlus to fulfill its PLR obligation. The predetermined charges for generation supply which PPL Electric collects from its PLR customers and pays to PPL EnergyPlus under the energy supply agreements provide for annual increases in each year commencing in 2006 and continuing through 2009. PPL Electric's PLR obligation after 2009 will be determined by the PUC pursuant to rules that have not yet been promulgated. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding the PLR contracts.

·   Due to current electricity and natural gas price levels, there is a risk that PPL Energy Supply may be unable to recover its investment in certain gas-fired generation facilities. Under GAAP, PPL Energy Supply does not believe that there is an impairment charge to be recorded for these facilities at this time. PPL Energy Supply is unable to predict the earnings impact of this issue, based upon future energy and fuel price levels, applicable accounting rules and other factors, but such impact may be material.

·   In May 2005, a subsidiary of PPL Generation completed the sale of its 450 MW Sundance power plant located in Pinal County, Arizona to Arizona Public Service Company for approximately $190 million in cash. Proceeds of the sale were used to reduce PPL Energy Supply's outstanding debt and improve liquidity. PPL Energy Supply recognized a non-cash loss on the sale of approximately $47 million after tax in the second quarter of 2005 related to this transaction.

·   PPL Energy Supply's ability to manage operational risk with respect to its generation plants is critical to its financial performance. Specifically, depending on the timing and duration of both planned and unplanned outages (in particular, if such outages are during peak periods or during periods of, or caused by, severe weather), PPL Energy Supply's revenue from energy sales could be adversely affected and its need to purchase power at then-current market prices to satisfy its energy commitments could be significantly increased.

·   PPL Energy Supply has interests in two synthetic fuel facilities and receives tax credits pursuant to Section 29 of the Internal Revenue Code based on its sale of synthetic fuel to unaffiliated third-party purchasers. PPL Energy Supply has estimated that these facilities will contribute approximately $40 million per year to earnings through 2007, when the availability of such tax credits is scheduled to expire. See "IRS Synthetic Fuels Tax Credits" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements for a discussion of the requirements to receive the Section 29 tax credits and the impact of higher oil prices on the Section 29 tax credits. Also see "Risk Management - Energy Marketing & Trading and Other - Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" for a discussion of PPL Energy Supply's risk management activities to mitigate the impact of a potential phase-out of the synthetic fuel tax credit due to high oil prices.

·   To comply with existing and future environmental requirements and as a result of voluntary pollution control measures it may take, PPL Energy Supply expects to spend significant amounts on environmental control and compliance in the future. The costs of such measures, in most cases, are not now determinable with certainty. For instance, PPL Energy Supply's current cost estimates for sulfur dioxide reduction at its generating plants are preliminary and PPL Energy Supply could incur significantly higher capital and operating expenses due to more stringent environmental requirements, changing market conditions with respect to the cost of pollution control equipment or emissions allowances, delays in the installation of pollution control equipment or other factors. See "Environmental Matters - Domestic" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding current environmental requirements and initiatives, including those relating to air emissions, and PPL Energy Supply's anticipated capital expenditure program to meet the sulfur dioxide reduction requirements of the Clean Air Act.

·   In May 2005, PPL Energy Supply and NorthWestern reached an agreement in principle to settle litigation described under "NorthWestern Corporation Litigation" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements. See Note 9 for more information regarding this matter, including the agreement in principle and the status of the settlement discussions. PPL Energy Supply recognized a charge of $6 million after tax, in the first quarter of 2005 for a loss contingency related to this matter. PPL Energy Supply cannot be certain of the outcome of this matter.

International Delivery Segment:

·   Earnings in 2005 and beyond are expected to continue to be adversely affected by increased pension costs. Specifically, WPD will experience increased pension costs due to a recent actuarial valuation of WPD's plans that reflects higher pension obligations. The increase in pension costs in 2005 is forecasted to be approximately $24 million, after tax, and the increase in pension costs is expected to continue to be significant in 2006. An additional $4 million of expense, after tax, was recognized in the first quarter of 2005 related to termination benefits.

All Segments:

·   PPL Energy Supply is unable to predict whether future impairments of goodwill may be required for its domestic and international investments. While no goodwill impairments were required based on the annual review performed in the fourth quarter of 2004, future impairments may occur due to determinations of carrying value exceeding the fair value of these investments.

·   From time to time, PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries are involved in negotiations with third parties regarding acquisitions and dispositions of businesses and assets. Any such transactions may impact future earnings.

·   See Note 9 to the Financial Statements for other potential commitments and contingent liabilities that may impact future earnings.

·   See Note 16 to the Financial Statements for new accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted by PPL Energy Supply that may impact future earnings.

·   See "Domestic Gross Energy Margins" for an explanation of non-trading margins by geographic region and for an explanation of net energy trading margins.

·   Higher operation and maintenance expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation for retirement-eligible employees, which resulted from additional accounting guidance. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information. Also, expenses increased for both periods due to outage costs at the Colstrip Unit 2 and Corette facilities.

·   The improved earnings contribution from synfuel projects for both periods resulted primarily from the Tyrone facility that began commercial operation during the third quarter of 2004.

International Delivery Segment

The International Delivery segment owns and operates international energy businesses that are focused on the distribution of electricity. The segment primarily consists of the operations of the regulated international energy businesses of PPL Global. The majority of PPL Global's international businesses are located in the U.K., Chile, El Salvador and Bolivia.

·   The U.K.'s earnings were positively impacted in both periods by favorable currency exchange rates, and higher delivery margins for the three months ended June 30, 2005, primarily due to favorable customer mix. These favorable variances were offset by higher operation and maintenance expenses, primarily due to increased pension costs in both periods.

·   U.S. income taxes decreased primarily due to greater utilization of foreign tax credits in both periods.

Also adjusted to include gains or losses on sales of emission allowances, which are included in "Other operation and maintenance" expenses on the Statement of Income.

Changes in Domestic Gross Energy Margins By Region

Domestic gross energy margins are generated through PPL Energy Supply's normal hedging (non-trading) activities, as well as trading activities. PPL Energy Supply manages its non-trading energy business on a geographic basis that is aligned with its generation assets. Beginning in the second quarter of 2005, PPL Energy Supply participates in the Midwest ISO (MISO), an independent transmission system operator that serves the electric transmission needs of much of the Midwest. PPL Energy Supply records its business activities within MISO consistent with its accounting for activities in other RTOs.

		June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
		Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Eastern U.S.		$	(8	)	$	18
Northwestern U.S.			5			(9	)
Southwestern U.S.			(3	)		(6	)
Net energy trading			(7	)		3
	Domestic gross energy margins	$	(13	)	$	6

Eastern U.S.

Eastern U.S. non-trading margins were lower for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, due to lower sales volumes and higher fuel and purchased power prices. Wholesale sales volumes decreased 22% in conjunction with reduced generation. PPL Energy Supply's generation was down 6% over 2004 due to outages at coal-fired stations, as well as lower economic dispatch from its oil-fired station. The average cost of fuel increased only 2% despite a 15% increase in the average cost of consumed coal, primarily due to the diverse mix of generation that included higher nuclear generation in 2005. In addition, power purchase prices increased by 15%, primarily as a result of higher market prices for fossil fuel. Partially offsetting lower sales volumes and higher purchase prices were favorable transmission congestion positions and gains on sales of emission allowances, as well as higher PLR revenues. PLR sales prices increased 2% in accordance with the schedule established by the PUC.

Eastern U.S. non-trading margins were higher for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, due to higher average PLR sales prices and wholesale prices. Wholesale prices also increased by 9% due to higher market prices for fossil fuel. These favorable drivers were partially offset by higher fossil fuel prices; the average consumed cost of fuel increased 9% compared to 2004, primarily due to coal price increases. In addition, PPL Energy Supply benefited from favorable transmission congestion positions, and gains on sales of emission allowances.

Northwestern U.S.

Northwestern U.S. non-trading margins were higher for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily due to a retroactive coal price increase caused by an unfavorable arbitration ruling effective April 2004, which increased the cost of coal at PPL Montana's Colstrip plant. An incremental expense of $6 million was recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2004, as a result of the ruling, most of which related to years 2001 to 2003.

Northwestern U.S. non-trading margins were lower for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, due to an extended outage at a coal-fired station. Overall, generation decreased 9% compared to 2004. Partially offsetting this margin decrease was the effect of the $6 million incremental coal cost recorded in 2004 to reflect the unfavorable arbitration ruling.

Southwestern U.S.

Southwestern U.S. non-trading margins decreased for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004. The reduction in margins was primarily due to the cost incurred to terminate a tolling arrangement on the Griffith plant during the second quarter of 2005, as well as lower generation in 2005.

Net Energy Trading

PPL Energy Supply enters into certain energy contracts that meet the criteria of trading derivatives as defined by EITF Issue 02-3, "Issues Involved in Accounting for Derivative Contracts Held for Trading Purposes and Contracts Involved in Energy Trading and Risk Management Activities." These physical and financial contracts cover trading activity associated with electricity, gas and oil. The decrease for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to a decrease in unrealized gains on electricity, oil and gas positions. The physical volumes associated with energy trading for the three months ended June 30, 2005, were 1,200 GWh and 3.1 Bcf, compared with 1,186 GWh and 1.8 Bcf for the three months ended June 30, 2004.

The increase for the six months ended June 30, 2005, was primarily due to an increase in gains on wholesale electricity positions. The physical volumes associated with energy trading for the six months ended June 30, 2005, were 2,265 GWh and 7.6 Bcf, compared with 2,180 GWh and 4.3 Bcf for the six months ended June 30, 2004.

Utility Revenues

The increases in utility revenues were attributable to the following:

			June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
			Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
International:
	Retail electric delivery (PPL Global)
		Chile	$	14	$	21
		U.K.		13		17
		El Salvador		2		5
			$	29	$	43

The increases for both periods were primarily due to:

·   higher revenues in Chile primarily due to a 7.8% and 7.6% increase in sales volumes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, and higher average prices overall; and

·   higher U.K. revenues, primarily due to the change in foreign currency exchange rates and an increase in unit prices effective April 1, 2005, partially offset by a reduction in certain charges which had been a pass-through to customer rates.

Energy Related Businesses

Energy related businesses contributed $1 million less to operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. The decrease was primarily attributable to:

·   an aggregate increase of $2 million from domestic subsidiaries, including the energy services subsidiaries and a pipeline subsidiary; and

·   an aggregate increase of $2 million from various international subsidiary businesses; more than offset by

·   additional pre-tax losses in 2005 of $5 million on synfuel projects. This reflects $11 million of additional expenses due to higher production levels, offset by a $6 million unrealized gain on options purchased to hedge the risk associated with synthetic fuel tax credits for 2006 and 2007.

Energy related businesses contributed $11 million more to operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004. The increase was primarily attributable to:

·   a $15 million pre-tax loss in 2004, related to the sale of CGE (see Note 8 to the Financial Statements);

·   an aggregate increase of $4 million from various international subsidiary businesses; and

·   a $3 million increase from energy services subsidiaries due to a favorable closeout on a major project, improved margins and an increase in business; partially offset by

·   additional pre-tax losses in 2005 of $11 million on synfuel projects. This reflects $17 million of additional expenses due to higher production levels, offset by a $6 million unrealized gain on options purchased to hedge the risk associated with synthetic fuel tax credits for 2006 and 2007.

Other Operation and Maintenance

The increases in other operation and maintenance expenses were due to:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Increase in domestic and international pension costs	$	12		$	25
Increase in allocation of corporate service costs (Note 10)		4			10
Outage costs at the Colstrip Unit 2 and Corette facilities		3			4
Increase in foreign currency exchange rates		1			3
Accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation (Note 2)		1			13
NorthWestern litigation accrual (Note 9)					9
Reduction in WPD costs that are a pass-through to customers		(1	)		(6	)
Gain on sales of emission allowances		(4	)		(11	)
Other		(3	)		(7	)
	$	13		$	40

The increases in net pension costs were primarily attributable to a reduction in the discount rate assumptions for PPL Energy Supply's domestic pension plans at December 31, 2004, increased amortization of prior year actuarial losses for WPD's pension plans and termination benefits. These events will result in PPL Energy Supply's recognition of increased net pension costs in 2005. See Note 13 to the Financial Statements for details of the costs of PPL Energy Supply's pension plans.

Depreciation

The increases in depreciation expense were due to:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Lower Mt. Bethel generation facility, which began commercial operation in May 2004	$	2		$	6
Other additions to PP&E		1			2
Foreign currency exchange rates		2			3
Extension of useful lives of certain fossil generation assets (Note 2)		(2	)		(5	)
	$	3		$	6

Other Income - net

See Note 11 to the Financial Statements for details of other income.

Interest Expense

The increase in interest expense, including interest with affiliates, was due to:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Interest expense related to the Lower Mt. Bethel generation facility, which began commercial operation in May 2004 (a)	$	5		$	14
Increase (decrease) in other long-term debt interest expense		(1	)		3
Increase in interest expense with affiliate		2			6
Increase in short-term debt interest expense		1			3
Increase in foreign currency exchange rates		2			3
Decrease in interest expense due to the repayment in June 2004 of financing related to the University Park generation facility (b)		(4	)		(7	)
Financing costs associated with the repayment of the consolidated trust's debt for the University Park generation facility (b)		(6	)		(6	)
Other		1			3
	$			$	19

(a)	Prior to commercial operation, interest related to the Lower Mt. Bethel financing was capitalized as part of the cost of the facility.
(b)	In June 2004, a subsidiary of PPL Energy Supply purchased the University Park generation facility from the lessor that was consolidated by PPL Energy Supply under FIN 46 (revised December 2003), "Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities, an Interpretation of ARB No. 51." In connection with the purchase, the related financing was repaid.

Income Taxes

Income taxes decreased by $23 million and $50 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004. The decreases were primarily attributable to:

·   tax benefits of $15 million and $25 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, related to additional nonconventional fuel tax credits in excess of credits recognized for the same periods in 2004;

·   a $5 million increase and a $2 million decrease in tax expense on foreign earnings for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, relative to the same periods in 2004; and

·   decreases of $16 million and $25 million in income tax expense due to lower pre-tax book income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, relative to the same periods in 2004.

See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for details on effective income tax rates.

Discontinued Operations

In the second quarter of 2005, PPL Energy Supply recorded a $47 million loss, net of a tax benefit of $26 million, on the sale of its Sundance power plant. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for information on the sale, along with information regarding operating losses recorded in 2004 and 2005 for the Sundance plant prior to the sale and for losses recorded in 2004 related to the sale of PPL Global's investment in a Latin American telecommunications company.

Financial Condition

Liquidity

At June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply had $167 million of cash and short-term investments and $75 million of short-term debt. At December 31, 2004, PPL Energy Supply had $408 million in cash and short-term investments and no short-term debt. The decrease in PPL Energy Supply's cash and short-term investment position was primarily the net result of:

·   the retirement of $208 million of foreign long-term debt;

·   distributions to Member of $119 million;

·   the retirement of $300 million in note payable to affiliate; and

·   $258 million of capital expenditures; offset by

·   $374 million of cash provided by operating activities;

·   $190 million of proceeds from the sale of the Sundance generation plant; and

·   an $83 million net increase in short-term debt.

In May 2003, PPL Energy Supply issued $400 million of 2-5/8% Convertible Senior Notes due 2023. Based on the terms at the time of issuance, the Convertible Senior Notes could be settled entirely in cash or shares of PPL common stock. The notes were modified in November 2004 to require cash settlement of the principal amount, permit settlement of any conversion premium in cash or stock and eliminate a provision that required settlement in stock in the event of default.

The terms of the Convertible Senior Notes include a market price trigger that permits holders to convert the notes during any fiscal quarter if the closing sale price of PPL's common stock exceeds $59.67 for at least 20 trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter. This market price trigger has not been met. However, PPL's common stock price currently is trading above $59.67. As described above, if the market price trigger is met and holders elect to convert the Convertible Senior Notes, PPL and PPL Energy Supply would be required to settle the par value in cash and any value above par in cash or common stock. PPL and PPL Energy Supply have, and expect to continue to have, sufficient liquidity sources to fund any such conversions.

Rating Agency Decisions

S&P, Moody's and Fitch periodically review the credit ratings on the debt and preferred securities of PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries. Based on their respective reviews, the rating agencies may make certain ratings revisions.

The ratings of S&P, Moody's and Fitch are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any securities of PPL Energy Supply or its subsidiaries. Such ratings may be subject to revisions or withdrawal by the agencies at any time and should be evaluated independently of each other and any other rating that may be assigned to their securities.

In January 2005, S&P revised its outlooks on the WPD companies to stable from negative. S&P attributes this positive change to financial profile improvements resulting from the final regulatory outcome published by Ofgem in November 2004. At the same time, S&P affirmed the WPD companies' long-term and short-term credit ratings.

Also in January 2005, Fitch announced that it downgraded the WPD companies' senior unsecured credit ratings by one notch as follows:

·   WPDH Limited to BBB- from BBB

·   WPD LLP to BBB from BBB+

·   WPD (South West) and WPD (South Wales) to BBB+/F2 from A-/F1

Fitch has a stable outlook on all of the WPD companies.

Fitch stated that its downgrade was prompted by the high level of pension-adjusted leverage at WPD. Fitch acknowledged that WPD's funding plan should reduce its pension deficit over time, and it expects WPD to proceed with its de-leveraging program. However, Fitch indicated that it is not certain enough, due to the unpredictability in future pension valuations, that pension-adjusted leverage will support a BBB rating at WPDH Limited. Fitch indicated that WPD (South West) and WPD (South Wales) have been downgraded to maintain a two-notch differential with WPDH Limited because Fitch does not believe that WPD's financial ring-fencing is restrictive enough to support a three-notch differential.

In June 2005, Moody's revised its outlooks to stable from negative on the senior unsecured debt and issuer ratings of WPDH Limited, the senior unsecured debt ratings of WPD LLP and the subordinated unsecured debt ratings of WPD LLP's subsidiary SIUK Capital Trust I. Moody's indicated that this positive change to the financial profiles resulted from a reduction in consolidated adjusted leverage at the WPD companies as a result of the redeployment to WPD of surplus cash from Latin American subsidiaries of PPL Energy Supply and from PPL Energy Supply's commitment to suspend its dividend from WPDH Limited in the current fiscal year. At the same time, Moody's affirmed the WPD companies' long-term and short-term credit rating. The outlook on the debt ratings of WPD (South Wales) and WPD (South West) was already stable.

(a)	Construction expenditures include capitalized interest, which is expected to be less than $16 million in each of the years 2005-2009.
(b)	This information excludes any potential investments by PPL Global for new projects.

PPL Energy Supply's capital expenditure projections for the years 2005-2009 total approximately $4.3 billion. Capital expenditure plans are revised periodically to reflect changes in market and asset regulatory conditions. The above schedule has been revised from that which was presented in PPL Energy Supply's 2004 Form 10-K primarily to reflect the installation costs of sulfur dioxide scrubbers and other pollution control equipment. See Note 9 for additional information. PPL Energy Supply also leases vehicles, personal computers and other equipment as described in Note 10 to the Financial Statements of PPL Energy Supply's 2004 Form 10-K.

Commodity Price Risk (Non-Trading)

PPL Energy Supply's commodity derivative contracts that hedge its commodity price risk mature at various times through 2010. The following chart sets forth PPL Energy Supply's net fair value of these contracts:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the beginning of the period	$	(106	)	$	84		$	(9	)	$	86
Contracts realized or otherwise settled during the period		(15	)		(20	)		(24	)		(44	)
Fair value of new contracts at inception		13						13
Other changes in fair values		(19	)		21			(107	)		43
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	(127	)	$	85		$	(127	)	$	85

The following chart segregates estimated fair values of PPL Energy Supply's commodity derivative contracts that qualify for hedge accounting treatment at June 30, 2005, based on whether the fair values are determined by quoted market prices or other more subjective means:

	Fair Value of Contracts at Period-End Gains (Losses)
	Maturity Less Than 1 Year			Maturity 1-3 Years			Maturity 4-5 Years			Maturity in Excess of 5 Years	Total Fair Value
Source of Fair Value
Prices actively quoted	$	11		$	15		$	4			$	30
Prices provided by other external sources		(8	)		(126	)		(23	)			(157	)
Prices based on models and other valuation methods
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	3		$	(111	)	$	(19	)		$	(127	)

The "Prices actively quoted" category includes the fair value of exchange-traded natural gas futures contracts quoted on the New York Mercantile Exchange (NYMEX). The NYMEX has currently quoted prices through 2010.

The "Prices provided by other external sources" category includes PPL Energy Supply's forward positions and options in natural gas and power and natural gas basis swaps at points for which over-the-counter (OTC) broker quotes are available. The fair value of electricity positions recorded above use the midpoint of the bid/ask spreads obtained through OTC brokers. On average, OTC quotes for forwards and swaps of natural gas and power extend one and two years into the future.

The "Prices based on models and other valuation methods" category includes the value of transactions for which a price curve was developed by PPL Energy Supply due to the long-dated nature of the transaction or the illiquidity of the market point, or the value of options not quoted by an exchange or OTC broker.

As of June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices of both electricity and fuel across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its non-trading portfolio by approximately $214 million. For purposes of this calculation, an increase in the market price for electricity is considered an adverse movement because PPL Energy Supply's electricity portfolio is generally in a net sales position, and a decrease in the market price for fuel is considered an adverse movement because PPL Energy Supply's commodity fuels portfolio is generally in a net purchase position. PPL Energy Supply enters into these commodity contracts to reduce the market risk inherent in the generation of electricity.

In accordance with its marketing strategy, PPL Energy Supply does not completely hedge its generation output or fuel requirements. PPL Energy Supply estimates that for its entire portfolio, including all generation and physical and financial energy positions, neither a 10% adverse change in power prices across all geographic zones and time periods nor a 10% adverse movement in all fossil fuel prices would have a material impact on expected 2005 gross margins.

The data in the above charts includes the activity for PPL Energy Supply's synthetic fuel tax credit hedges. Additional information regarding these hedges can be found in the "Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk" section below.

Commodity Price Risk (Trading)

PPL Energy Supply also executes energy contracts to take advantage of market opportunities. As a result, PPL Energy Supply may at times create a net open position in its portfolio that could result in significant losses if prices do not move in the manner or direction anticipated. The margins from these trading activities are shown in the Statement of Income as "Net energy trading margins."

PPL Energy Supply's trading contracts mature at various times through 2008. The following chart sets forth PPL Energy Supply's net fair value of trading contracts:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004			2005			2004
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the beginning of the period	$	16		$	11		$	9		$	3
Contracts realized or otherwise settled during the period		(3	)		(4	)		(6	)		(7	)
Fair value of new contracts at inception		1						4			4
Other changes in fair values		(3	)		5			4			12
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	11		$	12		$	11		$	12

PPL Energy Supply will reverse $2 million of the $11 million unrealized trading gains over the next three months of 2005 as the transactions are realized.

The following chart segregates estimated fair values of PPL Energy Supply's trading portfolio at June 30, 2005, based on whether the fair values are determined by quoted market prices or other more subjective means:

	Fair Value of Contracts at Period-End Gains (Losses)
	Maturity Less Than 1 year		Maturity 1-3 years		Maturity 4-5 years			Maturity in Excess of 5 Years	Total Fair Value
Source of Fair Value
Prices actively quoted	$	1							$	1
Prices provided by other external sources		7	$	3	$	(1	)			9
Prices based on models and other valuation methods				1						1
Fair value of contracts outstanding at the end of the period	$	8	$	4	$	(1	)		$	11

See "Commodity Price Risk (Non-trading)" for information on the various sources of fair value.

As of June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices across all geographic areas and time periods would have decreased the value of the commodity contracts in its trading portfolio by $10 million.

Interest Rate Risk

PPL Energy Supply and its subsidiaries have issued debt to finance their operations. PPL manages interest rate risk for PPL Energy Supply by using various financial derivative products to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in its debt portfolio, adjust the duration of its debt portfolio and lock in U.S. Treasury rates (and interest rate spreads over treasuries) in anticipation of future financing, when appropriate. Risk limits under the risk management program are designed to balance risk exposure to volatility in interest expense and changes in the fair value of PPL Energy Supply's debt portfolio due to changes in the absolute level of interest rates.

At June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was estimated at $1 million.

PPL Energy Supply is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its domestic and international debt portfolios. At June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of its debt portfolio, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was approximately $142 million.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply utilize various risk management instruments to reduce PPL Energy Supply's exposure to the expected future cash flow variability of its debt instruments. These risks include exposure to adverse interest rate movements for outstanding variable rate debt and for future anticipated financing. While PPL Energy Supply is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any changes in the fair value of these instruments are recorded in equity and then reclassified into earnings in the same period during which the item being hedged affects earnings. At June 30, 2005, the market value of these instruments, representing the amount PPL Energy Supply would pay upon their termination, was insignificant. At June 30, 2005, PPL estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in the hedged exposure, was insignificant.

PPL and PPL Energy Supply also utilize various risk management instruments to adjust the mix of fixed and floating interest rates in PPL Energy Supply's debt portfolio. While PPL Energy Supply is exposed to changes in the fair value of these instruments, any change in market value is recorded with an equal and offsetting change in the value of the debt being hedged. At June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of these instruments, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was approximately $1 million.

Foreign Currency Risk

PPL Energy Supply is exposed to foreign currency risk, primarily through investments in affiliates in Latin America and Europe. In addition, PPL Energy Supply may make purchases of equipment in currencies other than U.S. dollars.

PPL has adopted a foreign currency risk management program designed to hedge certain foreign currency exposures, including firm commitments, recognized assets or liabilities and net investments. In addition, PPL and PPL Energy Supply enter into financial instruments to protect against foreign currency translation risk.

To protect expected income denominated in British pounds sterling, PPL entered into average rate options for £32 million. These options terminate in November 2005. At June 30, 2005, the market value of these positions, representing the amount PPL would receive upon their termination, was approximately $1 million.

To protect expected income in Chilean pesos, PPL entered into an average rate forward for 4 billion Chilean pesos. The settlement date of this forward is November 2005. At June 30, 2005, the market value of this position, representing the amount PPL would receive upon its termination, was insignificant.

PPL executed net forward sale transactions for £10 million to hedge a portion of its net investment in WPDH Limited. In May 2005, PPL entered into an offsetting transaction effectively closing this hedge. Both trades are scheduled to expire in December 2005. The net amount PPL will owe upon settlement of these trades is approximately $1 million.

WPDH Limited held a net position in cross-currency swaps totaling $1.1 billion to hedge the interest payments and value of its U.S. dollar-denominated bonds with maturity dates ranging from December 2006 to December 2028. The estimated value of this position at June 30, 2005, being the amount PPL would pay to terminate it, including accrued interest, was approximately $183 million.

On the Statement of Income, gains and losses associated with hedges of interest payments denominated in foreign currencies are reflected in "Interest Expense." Gains and losses associated with the purchase of equipment are reflected in "Depreciation." Gains and losses associated with net investment hedges remain in accumulated other comprehensive loss, as a component of "Member's Equity" on the Balance Sheet, until the investment is disposed.

Nuclear Decommissioning Fund - Securities Price Risk

In connection with certain NRC requirements, PPL Susquehanna maintains trust funds to fund certain costs of decommissioning the Susquehanna station. As of June 30, 2005, these funds were invested primarily in domestic equity securities and fixed-rate, fixed-income securities and are reflected at fair value on PPL Energy Supply's Balance Sheet. The mix of securities is designed to provide returns to be used to fund Susquehanna's decommissioning and to compensate for inflationary increases in decommissioning costs. However, the equity securities included in the trusts are exposed to price fluctuation in equity markets, and the values of fixed-rate, fixed-income securities in the trusts are exposed to changes in interest rates. PPL Susquehanna actively monitors the investment performance and periodically reviews asset allocation in accordance with its nuclear decommissioning trust policy statement. At June 30, 2005, a hypothetical 10% increase in interest rates and a 10% decrease in equity prices would have resulted in an estimated $31 million reduction in the fair value of the trust assets. See the "Nuclear Decommissioning" Note in the 2004 Form 10-K for more information regarding the nuclear decommissioning trust funds.

Synthetic Fuel Tax Credit Risk

Rising oil prices threaten to reduce the amount of synthetic fuel tax credits that PPL Energy Supply expects to receive through its synthetic fuel production. The tax credits are reduced if the annual average wellhead price of domestic crude oil falls within a phase-out range. The tax credits are eliminated if this reference price exceeds the phase-out range.

With the recent sharp increase in oil prices, PPL Energy Supply faces a substantially higher risk that its synthetic fuel tax credits will be reduced. Consequently, PPL Energy Supply implemented a risk management objective to hedge the variability of cash flows associated with its 2006 and 2007 synthetic fuel tax credits by hedging the risk that the 2006 and 2007 annual average wellhead price for domestic crude oil will be within the phase-out range.

PPL Energy Supply purchased options in the second quarter of 2005 to mitigate reductions in synthetic fuel tax credits if the annual average wellhead price for 2006 and 2007 fall within the applicable phase-out range. These hedges did not qualify for cash flow hedge accounting treatment. The mark-to-market value of these hedges for the three months ended June 30, 2005, was a gain of $6 million and is reflected in "Energy related businesses" revenues.

As of June 30, 2005, PPL Energy Supply estimated that a 10% adverse movement in market prices of crude oil would have decreased the value of the synthetic fuel hedges by $7 million. For purposes of this calculation, a decrease in the market price for crude oil is considered an adverse movement.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

PPL Energy Supply's financial condition and results of operations are impacted by the methods, assumptions and estimates used in the application of critical accounting policies. The following accounting policies are particularly important to the financial condition or results of operations of PPL Energy Supply, and require estimates or other judgments of matters inherently uncertain: price risk management, pension and other postretirement benefits, asset impairment, leasing, loss accruals and asset retirement obligations.

See "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL Energy Supply's 2004 Form 10-K for a discussion of each critical accounting policy. The potential impairment of the Sundance power plant is no longer a consideration, due to its sale in May 2005. See Note 8 to the Financial Statements for additional information. PPL's senior management has reviewed these critical accounting policies, and the estimates and assumptions regarding them, with its Audit Committee. In addition, PPL's senior management reviewed the Form 10-K disclosures regarding the application of these critical accounting policies with the Audit Committee.

PPL ELECTRIC UTILITIES CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Overview

PPL Electric provides electricity delivery service in eastern and central Pennsylvania. Its headquarters are in Allentown, PA. In PPL Electric's 2004 Form 10-K, a description of its business is found in "Item 1. Business - Background" and an overview of its strategy and the risks and the challenges that it faces in its business are discussed in "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."

The following information should be read in conjunction with PPL Electric's Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes.

Terms and abbreviations are explained in the glossary. Dollars are in millions unless otherwise noted.

Results of Operations

The following discussion, which explains significant changes in principal items on the Statement of Income, compares the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, with the comparable periods in 2004.

The Statement of Income reflects the results of past operations and is not intended as any indication of future operating results. Future operating results will necessarily be affected by various and diverse factors and developments. Furthermore, because results for interim periods can be disproportionately influenced by various factors and developments and by seasonal variations, the results of operations for interim periods do not necessarily indicate results or trends for the year.

Earnings

Income available to PPL was as follows:

Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
2005		2004		2005		2004
$	36	$	3	$	51	$	36

The after-tax changes in income available to PPL were due to:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
Delivery revenues (net of CTC/ITC amortization, interest expense on transition bonds and ancillary charges)	$	30	$	58
Operation and maintenance expenses		1		(12	)
Taxes, other than income (excluding gross receipts taxes)				(8	)
Other		2		6
Unusual items				(29	)
	$	33	$	15

The change in net income for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004 was, in part, attributable to two unusual items in 2005 with significant earnings impacts. The after-tax impacts of these unusual items were as follows:

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2005			2004
PJM billing dispute (Note 9)	$	(27	)
Acceleration of stock-based compensation expense for periods prior to 2005 (Note 2)		(2	)
Total	$	(29	)

The period-to-period changes in earnings components are discussed following the future earnings factors.

PPL Electric's 2005 and future earnings could be, or will be, impacted by a number of key factors, including the following:

·   In December 2004, the PUC approved an increase in PPL Electric's distribution rates of approximately $137 million (based on a return on equity of 10.7%), and approved PPL Electric's proposed mechanism for collecting an additional $57 million in transmission-related charges, for a total increase of approximately $194 million, effective January 1, 2005.

·   PPL Electric has agreed to provide electricity supply to its PLR customers at predetermined rates through 2009 and has entered into PUC-approved, full requirements energy supply agreements with PPL EnergyPlus to fulfill its PLR obligation. The predetermined charges for generation supply which PPL Electric collects from its PLR customers and pays to PPL EnergyPlus under the energy supply agreements provide for annual increases in each year commencing in 2006 and continuing through 2009. PPL Electric's PLR obligation after 2009 will be determined by the PUC pursuant to rules that have not yet been promulgated. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for more information regarding the PLR contracts.

·   In January 2005, severe ice storms hit PPL Electric's service territory. PPL Electric had to restore service to approximately 238,000 customers. Although the actual cost of these storms and the specific allocation of such cost between operation and maintenance expense and capital costs is not yet finalized, PPL Electric currently estimates a total cost of $21 million, with approximately $18 million being recorded as an expense on PPL Electric's income statement for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

On February 11, 2005, PPL Electric filed a petition with the PUC for authority to defer and amortize for regulatory accounting and reporting purposes its actual cost of these storms, excluding capitalized costs of approximately $3 million and regular payroll expenses of approximately $2 million (pursuant to PUC precedent on this issue). If the PUC grants this petition, PPL Electric's management will assess the recoverability of these costs in PPL Electric's next general rate increase proceeding, in accordance with SFAS 71, "Accounting for the Effects of Certain Types of Regulation." Depending on the likelihood of such recovery based on this assessment, most of the first quarter expense could be reversed in that future period. At this time, PPL Electric cannot predict the outcome of its deferral petition or the likelihood of recovery of these storm costs.

PPL Electric also cannot predict whether other incidents of severe weather will cause significant facility damages and service disruptions that would also result in significant costs.

·   As a result of the Order issued by the FERC in connection with the litigation described under "PJM Billing" in Note 9 to the Financial Statements, PPL Electric recognized an after-tax charge of $27 million in the first quarter of 2005 for a loss contingency related to the litigation. PPL Electric cannot be certain of the outcome and impact of this matter.

·   See Note 9 to the Financial Statements for other potential commitments and contingent liabilities that may impact future earnings.

·   See Note 16 to the Financial Statements for new accounting standards that have been issued but not yet adopted by PPL Electric that may impact future earnings.

Operating Revenues

Retail Electric

The increases in revenues from retail electric operations were attributable to the following:

	June 30, 2005 vs. June 30, 2004
	Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
Electric delivery	$	50		$	82
PLR electric generation supply		25			41
Other		(6	)		(6	)
	$	69		$	117

The increases in delivery revenues for both periods were primarily due to higher transmission and distribution customer rates effective January 1, 2005. The six-month period ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, was also impacted by a 2.2% increase in sales volumes.

Higher PLR revenues for both periods were due to higher energy and capacity rates in 2005 compared with 2004, and increases in volumes of 2.3% and 4.1% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, in part due to the return of customers previously served by alternate suppliers.

Wholesale Electric to Affiliate

PPL Electric has a contract to sell to PPL EnergyPlus the electricity that PPL Electric purchases under contracts with NUGs. The decreases of $7 million and $6 million in wholesale revenue to affiliate for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, were primarily due to an unplanned outage at a NUG facility during the second quarter of 2005. PPL Electric therefore had less electricity to sell to PPL EnergyPlus.

Energy Purchases

Energy purchases decreased by $8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily the result of an unplanned outage at a NUG facility.

Energy purchases increased by $28 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily due to the $39 million pre-tax accrual for the PJM billing dispute, offset by a $6 million decrease due to an unplanned NUG outage and $4 million in lower ancillary service costs in connection with the power supply contracts with PPL EnergyPlus. See Note 9 to the Financial Statements for additional information regarding the loss accrual recorded for the PJM billing dispute.

Energy Purchases from Affiliate

Energy purchases from affiliate increased by $18 million and $23 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004. The increases reflect higher prices for energy purchased under the power supply contracts with PPL EnergyPlus needed to support PLR load, as well as an increase in that load for the six months ended June 30, 2005.

Other Operation and Maintenance

Other operation and maintenance expense increased by $21 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in June 2004. This increase was primarily due to $18 million of costs associated with severe ice storms that hit PPL Electric's service territory in January 2005 and a $5 million charge in the first quarter of 2005 for accelerated amortization of stock-based compensation for retirement-eligible employees, which resulted from additional accounting guidance. See Note 2 to the Financial Statements for additional information on stock-based compensation.

Taxes, Other Than Income

Taxes, other than income, increased by $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily due to a $4 million increase in domestic gross receipts tax expense, which is a result of higher transmission and distribution customer rates effective January 1, 2005.

In the first quarter of 2004, PPL Electric reversed a $14 million accrued liability for 1998 and 1999 PURTA taxes that had been accrued based on potential exposure in the proceedings regarding the Susquehanna nuclear station tax assessment. The rights of third-party intervenors to further appeal expired in 2004. The reversal, and a $7 million increase in domestic gross receipts tax expense in 2005, are the primary reasons for the $21 million increase in taxes, other than income, for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004.

Other Income - net

See Note 11 to the Financial Statements for details of other income.

Interest Expense

Interest expense, including interest expense with affiliate, decreased by $2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily due to the net impact of long-term debt retirements. This decrease was partially offset by $2 million of additional interest paid on collateral held by PPL Electric relating to the PLR contract.

Interest expense, including interest expense with affiliate, increased by $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same period in 2004, primarily due to $8 million of interest accrued for the PJM billing dispute and $5 million of additional interest paid on collateral held by PPL Electric relating to the PLR contract. These increases were partially offset by the net impact of long-term debt retirements. Over the last 12 months, $503 million of long-term debt retirements have occurred, while new issuances over the same period totaled $224 million. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for further discussion of collateral held under the PLR contract.

Income Taxes

Income taxes increased by $23 million and $6 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005, compared with the same periods in 2004, primarily due to higher pre-tax book income in 2005 relative to 2004.

See Note 5 to the Financial Statements for details on effective income tax rates.

Financial Condition

Liquidity

At June 30, 2005, PPL Electric had $55 million of cash and short-term investments and $87 million of short-term debt. At December 31, 2004, PPL Electric had $161 million in cash and short-term investments and $42 million of short-term debt. The decrease in PPL Electric's cash and short-term investment position was primarily the net result of:

·   the retirement of $380 million of long-term debt;

·   the payment of $27 million of common and preferred dividends;

·   a $53 million increase in restricted cash; and

·   $85 million of capital expenditures; partially offset by

·   $174 million of cash provided by operating activities;

·   the issuance of $224 million of tax-exempt long-term debt; and

·   a $45 million net increase in short-term debt.

Rating Agency Decisions

S&P, Moody's and Fitch periodically review the credit ratings on the debt and preferred securities of PPL Electric. Based on their respective reviews, the rating agencies may make certain ratings revisions.

The ratings of S&P, Moody's and Fitch are not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold any securities of PPL Electric. Such ratings may be subject to revisions or withdrawal by the agencies at any time and should be evaluated independently of each other and any other rating that may be assigned to their securities.

In January 2005, S&P affirmed PPL Electric's A-/A-2 corporate credit ratings and favorably revised its outlook on the company to stable from negative following the authorization of a $194 million rate increase by the PUC. S&P indicated that the outlook revision reflects its expectations that the rate increase, effective January 1, 2005, will allow for material improvement in PPL Electric's financial profile, which had lagged S&P's expectations in recent years. S&P indicated that the stable outlook reflects its expectations that PPL Electric "will rapidly improve and then maintain financial metrics more consistent with its ratings." S&P indicated that it expects PPL Electric's operations to remain stable through the expiration of the PLR agreement.

For additional information on PPL Electric's liquidity, see "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," in PPL Electric's 2004 Form 10-K.

Risk Management

Market Risk

Commodity Price Risk - PLR Contracts

PPL Electric and PPL EnergyPlus have power supply agreements under which PPL EnergyPlus sells to PPL Electric (under a predetermined pricing arrangement) energy and capacity to fulfill PPL Electric's PLR obligation through 2009. As a result, PPL Electric has shifted any electric price risk relating to its PLR obligation to PPL EnergyPlus through 2009. See Note 10 to the Financial Statements for information on the PLR contracts.

Interest Rate Risk

PPL Electric has issued debt to finance its operations, which increases its interest rate risk. At June 30, 2005, PPL Electric's potential annual exposure to increased interest expense, based on a 10% increase in interest rates, was insignificant.

PPL Electric is also exposed to changes in the fair value of its debt portfolio. At June 30, 2005, PPL Electric estimated that its potential exposure to a change in the fair value of its debt portfolio, through a 10% adverse movement in interest rates, was approximately $43 million.

Related Party Transactions

PPL Electric is not aware of any material ownership interests or operating responsibility by senior management of PPL Electric in outside partnerships, including leasing transactions with variable interest entities, or other entities doing business with PPL Electric.

(a)	Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
	The registrants' principal executive officers and principal financial officers, based on their evaluation of the registrants' disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) have concluded that, as of June 30, 2005, the registrants' disclosure controls and procedures are adequate and effective to ensure that material information relating to the registrants and their consolidated subsidiaries is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified by the SEC's rules and forms, particularly during the period for which this quarterly report has been prepared. The aforementioned principal officers have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are also effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive and chief financial officers, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
(b)	Change in internal controls over financial reporting.
	The registrants' principal executive officers and principal financial officers have concluded that there were no changes in the registrants' internal control over financial reporting during the registrants' second fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the registrants' internal control over financial reporting.
