At PPL Electric Utilities, we power 29 counties in Pennsylvania. This isn’t just our service territory, it’s our home. It’s where we live and work. It’s where our children go to school. We’re all neighbors.
That’s why we’re proud of the support we’ve provided to our communities this year –
and our commitment to continuing these efforts for years to come. Here are just a few examples of the ways we’ve brightened lives in 2022.
Volunteerism: Throughout the year, our employees give their time and talent to support organizations they’re passionate about. We volunteer to plant trees, paint walls, and support STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) initiatives in schools. We serve on nonprofit boards, participate in fundraising events, and much more.
Keeping communities safe: We take our commitment to electrical safety seriously.
In 2022 alone, our Live Line Electrical Safety Exhibit reached 9,500 first responders and others, and more than 10,000 students in 60+ schools learned about electrical safety from “Captain Wattage” during a show we developed in partnership with The National Theatre for Children. We also distributed thousands of free books on electrical safety for students.
Lending a helping hand: With prices rising across most industries, many customers are having trouble keeping up with their bills. That’s why we’ve supported customers with payment assistance and other programs, and provided tips and tools to help you use less energy. These efforts will continue throughout the winter, and you can read more about them on page 2 of this edition of Connect.
Going green: Protecting the environment is another critical part of our community commitment. We’re building a grid of the future to make sure we can accommodate as many renewable energy sources as possible. Plus, we’ve hosted dozens of events to distribute trees and pollinator plants, we’ve built nesting platforms to protect birds of prey, and we consider the environmental impact of everything we do.
