Our grid is ready to keep you clean and green
There are more than 10,000 solar systems installed within our service area. With solar panels becoming more and more affordable, we know this is just the start.
Today, power flows in two directions. It takes the traditional route, flowing from a power plant to your home or business over transmission and distribution lines. Plus, power comes back onto the grid from renewable energy sources like rooftop solar or wind turbines.
The investments we make in our grid help us effectively manage the flow of that new energy. That helps us avoid more costly alternatives, like building new power lines or substations, which helps keep rates reasonable.
Best of all, we’ve made it easy for you to apply to install systems that make power from the sun or wind. Most applications get approved within a day.
Are you considering installing solar or wind power for your home or business? Our state-of-the-art grid is ready to welcome you.

It’s been a rough year, and we’re struggling with our bills. What can you tell me about the LIHEAP program? Can it help my family with our energy bills?

We believe in the power of diversity
There’s strength in diversity. That’s why it’s important for us to build and sustain a diverse workforce. It’s the right thing to do, and it’s good business.
We have a supplier diversity program to source and promote suppliers of all backgrounds, including businesses owned by women, people of color, LGBTQ individuals, veterans or persons with disabilities.
The program is making an impact. Since 2016, PPL’s spending with diverse businesses has doubled! That translates to better partnership options for PPL.
And the future looks bright. We recently named a new leader of our supplier diversity initiatives, Sandy Schrauger (pictured), and we’re committed to increasing our reliance on diverse suppliers in the years to come.
In the market for a green future
The world has changed this year, but our Community Roots program is going strong!
This fall, PPL volunteers visited farmers markets throughout the area to give away about 1,000 free trees. It’s part of our commitment to working toward a cleaner future for us all.
Since 2017, we’ve given away more than 80,000 free trees to municipalities, environmental groups and schools as part of our Community Roots program. This fall, our team visited markets in Hellertown, Scranton and Williamsport.
