Section 8 - Other Events

Item 8.01 Other Events

On May 10, 2007, PPL Electric Utilities Corporation (“PPL Electric”) issued a press release announcing the Pennsylvania Public Utilities Commission’s (“PUC”) approval of PPL Electric’s plan to procure default electricity supply in 2010 for retail customers who do not choose an alternative competitive supplier. Under the plan, PPL Electric will issue competitive bids for such supply in 2007, 2008 and 2009. The price customers pay in 2010 will result from a blend of contracts from these competitive bids. A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated by reference.

On May 10, the PUC also approved final regulations regarding the obligation of Pennsylvania electric utilities to provide default electricity supply in 2011 and beyond. The new regulations provide that default service providers will acquire electricity supply at prevailing market prices pursuant to procurement and implementation plans approved by the PUC. The regulations also address the utilities’ recovery of market supply costs. The final regulations will become effective after review by several other state agencies and publication in the Pennsylvania Bulletin.
