The revenue uplift is de minimis for a $27.1B utility — expect negligible stock impact. Monitor the next quarterly filing (10-Q) for the actual revenue contribution and any further KPSC proceedings on denied rehearing items.

Executive Summary
The Kentucky Public Service Commission (KPSC) issued a rehearing order in the base rate proceedings for PPL's Kentucky subsidiaries LG&E and KU. The order grants approximately $7 million in incremental annual revenue above the February 2026 order ($4M for LG&E, $3M for KU) and allows favorable rate base and regulatory asset treatment, while denying other rehearing requests. PPL reaffirmed its long-term EPS growth targets, but the incremental revenue is immaterial relative to a $27.1B market cap.
Key Facts
- KPSC August 14, 2026 order granted ~$4M incremental annual revenue for LG&E electricity and gas
- KPSC order granted ~$3M incremental annual revenue for KU electricity
- Order approved incorporating regulatory assets/liabilities in rate base, updated cost estimates in Pilot Generation Recovery Clause, and pre-2026 costs for Mill Creek Unit 2 regulatory asset
- Order denied reinstatement of certain October 2025 stipulation provisions
- PPL reaffirmed previously disclosed long-term EPS growth targets
Financial Impact
~$7 million in incremental annual regulated revenue for LG&E and KU combined above the February 2026 order, effective immediately
Risk Factors
- Further regulatory proceedings could erode some of the granted amounts
- Denied rehearing items could lead to future earnings headwinds if not resolved favorably
