Item 8.01 Other Events

On April 21, 2015, Louisville Gas and Electric Company ("LG&E") and Kentucky Utilities Company ("KU" and, together with LG&E, the "Companies") issued a press release announcing that they have entered into a unanimous settlement agreement with the intervenors in their proceedings commenced in November 2014 before the Kentucky Public Service Commission ("KPSC") regarding increases in base electric rates at LG&E and KU and base gas rates at LG&E. Subject to KPSC review and approval, the rate changes could become effective on or after July 1, 2015.

The proposed settlement provides for increases in the annual revenue requirements associated with KU base electric rates of $125 million and LG&E base gas rates of $7 million. The annual revenue requirement associated with base electric rates at LG&E will not increase. No return on equity was established for base rates, however the settlement authorizes a 10% return on equity with respect to the Companies' environmental cost recovery and gas line tracker rate mechanisms. The settlement agreement also provides for deferred recovery of portions of certain pension-related and plant-related costs.

A hearing on the settlement took place on April 21, 2015. An order with respect to the rate proceedings is anticipated from the KPSC on or before June 30, 2015.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

Statements in this report and the accompanying press release, including statements with respect to future events and their timing, including the Companies’ potential regulatory outcomes regarding the requested rate increases, rate mechanisms and future rates or returns on equity ultimately authorized or achieved, as well as statements as to future costs or expenses, regulation, corporate strategy and performance, are “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws.  Although the Companies believe that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these expectations, assumptions and statements are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements.  The following are among the important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the forward-looking statements: subsequent phases or rate relief and regulatory cost recovers; market demand and prices for electricity; political, regulatory or economic conditions in states and regions where the Companies conduct business; and the progress of actual construction, purchase or repair of assets or operations subject to tracker mechanisms.  Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation’s, LG&E and KU Energy LLC’s and the Companies’ Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
