PPL Electric Utilities announced today that it has submitted a joint petition for non-unanimous settlement to the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) requesting approval for an increase in base distribution rates. This proposed adjustment aims to support ongoing investments in a safe, reliable and resilient electric system, while maintaining a strong commitment to customer affordability and service. If approved, this would mark the company's first base distribution rate increase since 2016.

If approved by the PUC, the settlement agreement would result in the following customer bill increases, based on estimated total bills using rates effective Jan. 1, 2026:

• Residential customers using 1,000 kilowatt-hours per month could see their total bill increase by about $7.42.
• Commercial customers using 1,000 kWh and 3 KW per month could see their total bill increase by $4.64 per month.
• Industrial customers using 150,000 kWh and 500 KW per month could see their total bill increase by about $382.63.
