Item 5. Other Events

PPL Energy Supply, LLC and PPL Electric Utilities Corporation Commercial Paper Programs

        PPL Energy Supply, LLC and PPL Electric Utilities Corporation have each determined that, based on their strong current cash positions and anticipated cash flows, they will not need to access the commercial paper markets through at least the end of 2003. Neither company currently has any commercial paper outstanding. As of June 30, 2003, PPL Energy Supply had approximately $205 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand, and PPL Electric Utilities had approximately $60 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. As a result, PPL Energy Supply and PPL Electric Utilities have each requested Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch Ratings to withdraw their ratings for these currently inactive commercial paper programs, effective as of July 9, 2003.

        Certain statements which are contained in this Current Report on Form 8-K with respect to liquidity are "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Although PPL Corporation believes that the expectations and assumptions reflected in these forward-looking statements are reasonable, these statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from the results discussed in the statements. Any such forward-looking statements should be considered in light of such important factors and in conjunction with PPL Corporation's Form 10-K and other reports on file with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
