What is PPL Electric Utilities?
Celebrating its centennial in 2020, PPL Electric Utilities, originally called Pennsylvania Power & Light, opened its doors in 1920, when eight utilities merged into one company that operated 62 power plans.
Today, as a FORTUNE 500 company and one of the largest utility companies in the United States, PPL provides electricity service to roughly 1.4 million customers in 29 counties across Pennsylvania. The company maintains approximately 50,000 miles of power lines in the central and eastern parts of Pennsylvania.
