Section 7 - Regulation FD
 
Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure

On May 13, 2020, the Secretary of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission ("PUC") issued a letter to utilities under the PUC’s jurisdiction regarding the tracking of costs related to COVID-19 and the creation of regulatory assets (Docket No. M-2020-3019775) ("Secretary's Letter").

The Secretary's Letter, among other things (i) directs utilities to track extraordinary, nonrecurring incremental COVID-19-related expenses and to maintain detailed accounting records of those expenses, as well as any possible offsets, and (ii) authorizes utilities to create a regulatory asset for any incremental uncollectible expenses incurred above those embedded in rates since the PUC's March 13, 2020 Emergency Order, which was issued in response to Pennsylvania Governor Tom Wolf's Proclamation of Disaster Emergency in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Any regulatory asset created under the authorization contained in the Secretary's Letter will be subject to review by the PUC in future proceedings.

While PPL Electric Utilities Corporation ("PPL Electric"), the Pennsylvania-based utility subsidiary of PPL Corporation, has not experienced a material increase in uncollectible expenses to date as a result of COVID-19, PPL Electric will track COVID-19-related costs and expenses as required and will establish a regulatory asset as authorized if such expenses meet the requirements outlined in the Secretary's Letter.

The Secretary's Letter is available on the website of the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission.

As provided in General Instruction B.2 of Form 8-K, the information contained in Item 7.01 of this Form 8-K shall not be deemed to be "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, nor shall any such information be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.
