PPL Corporation provided a healthy earnings report for 2025 and announced an ambitious business plan up through 2029, which includes extending its EPS growth targets.

PPL further extended its revolving credit facilities to bolster liquidity and reaffirmed commitments to affordability and transparency for customers.
