PPL Corporation Finalizes Award for Up to $72 Million in Federal Funding from U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations PPL Corporation announced it has executed an agreement with the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) for an award up to $72 million to help fund a groundbreaking carbon dioxide (CO2) capture research and development project at the company's natural gas combined-cycle generation facility in Louisville, Kentucky. OCED awarded PPL with the first tranche of funding – $4.9 million – to begin Phase 1 activities. The carbon capture project – developed in partnership with the University of Kentucky and others – represents a total investment of more than $100 million and will be hosted at the Cane Run generating station jointly owned and operated by PPL subsidiaries Kentucky Utilities and Louisville Gas and Electric Company. OCED announced in February of this year that the DOE selected the project for award negotiations. The system planned for Cane Run is designed to capture a portion of the CO2 from the natural gas plant's flue gas using an advanced heat-integrated CO2 capture technology. It's expected to capture more than 95% of the carbon emissions from up to 20 megawatts (MW) of the plant's 691 MW generating capacity, or up to 67,000 metric tons of CO2 per year. That's equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 16,000 gasoline-powered cars, according to OCED. The demonstration project is an important step in assessing the future viability of utility-scale carbon capture technology on natural gas units. Current plans include the captured CO2 being purified and beneficially reused in its entirety by a nearby industrial customer. In addition to the University of Kentucky, collaborators on the project include the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI); Kentucky State University; Visage Energy; and American Welding & Gas. Vogt Power International Inc., a Babcock Power Inc. subsidiary, and Siemens Energy, manufacturers of the Cane Run 7 Generating Station, are contributing technical support as part of the project team on integrating the new CO2 capture system. Koch Modular Process Systems and others will support the design, fabrication and construction of the carbon capture unit. The latest research initiative at Cane Run is one of more than 175 research and development projects that PPL is currently collaborating on with over 30 industry and academic partners. Projects range from accelerating low-carbon energy technologies to strengthening network resiliency and building the grid of the future. PPL subsidiaries LG&E and KU have partnered with the University of Kentucky for nearly two decades on various carbon capture research projects and were founders of the university's carbon capture research program in 2006. Together with EPRI, the company and university deployed a pilot-scale carbon capture facility in 2014 at the KU E.W. Brown coal-fired generating station. Declared Dividend • Aug 26

PPL, Affiliate Partners Selected for $72 Million Research Grant from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations PPL Corporation announced the company and its research partners have been selected for a $72 million award negotiation by the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Clean Energy Demonstrations (OCED) to help fund a ground-breaking carbon dioxide (CO2) capture research and development project expected to cost in excess of $100 million. The research project and new carbon capture system – developed in partnership with the University of Kentucky and others – will be hosted at PPL subsidiaries Louisville Gas and Electric Company's (LG&E) and Kentucky Utilities Company's (KU) Cane Run 7 natural gas combined-cycle generating station in Louisville, Ky. The new 20-megawatt research system planned for Cane Run is designed to capture a portion of the CO2 from the natural gas plant's flue gas using an advanced heat-integrated CO2 capture technology. The goal is to capture up to 240 tons of CO2 per day and up to 90,000 metric tons of CO2 per year – an amount equivalent to the annual CO2 emissions of 20,000 gasoline-powered cars, according to OCED. This is an important step in assessing the future viability of utility-scale carbon capture technology on natural gas units. Current plans include the captured CO2 being beneficially reused and purified in its entirety by a nearby manufacturer. In addition, this project is designed to expand existing training and internship programs to create a workforce development plan that involves collaborating with local community leaders and organizations and partnering with local colleges and universities, including a Historically Black College and University, for implementation. In addition to the University of Kentucky, collaborators on the project include EPRI; Kentucky State University; Visage Energy; and American Welding & Gas. Vogt Power International Inc., a Babcock Power Inc. subsidiary, and Siemens Energy, manufacturers of the Cane Run 7 Generating Station, are contributing technical support as part of the project team on integrating the new CO2 capture system. Koch Modular Process Systems and others will support the design, fabrication and construction of the carbon capture unit. Ankündigung • Feb 01
