Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On March 1 and 2, 2017, members of PPL Corporation's ("PPL" or the "Company") senior management will attend the UBS Utilities and Natural Gas Conference in Boston, Massachusetts and The Morgan Stanley MLP/Diversified Natural Gas, Utilities and Clean Tech Conference in New York City, respectively, and meet with financial analysts and investors to discuss the Company's corporate strategy and general business outlook. At these meetings, the Company is expected to reaffirm its previously announced 2017 earnings forecast of $2.05 to $2.25 per share, with a midpoint of $2.15 per share and compound annual earnings per share growth rate of 5% to 6% from 2017 to 2020.  A copy of the slides to be used during these conferences and meetings will be available beginning on February 28, 2017 on PPL's Internet Website: www.pplweb.investorroom.com/events. The slides have been revised since the Company's February 1, 2017 earnings release principally to show an increase in the foreign currency hedging rate to 90% for 2019 at an average of $1.32 per pound sterling.
