Corporation have filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") utilizing a "shelf"
registration process. Under this shelf process, we are offering to sell the Notes, using this prospectus
supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement describes the specific
terms of this offering. The accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference
therein describe our business and give more general information, some of which may not apply to this
offering. Generally, when we refer only to the "prospectus," we are referring to both parts combined.
You should read this prospectus supplement together with the accompanying prospectus before
making a decision to invest in the Notes. If the information in this prospectus supplement or the
information incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement is inconsistent with the
accompanying prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement or the information
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement will apply and will supersede that information
in the accompanying prospectus.

Certain affiliates of PPL Capital Funding and PPL Corporation, specifically PPL Energy Supply,
LLC and PPL Electric Utilities Corporation, have also registered their securities on the "shelf"
registration statement referred to above. However, the Notes are solely obligations of PPL Capital
Funding, Inc. and, to the extent of the Subordinated Guarantees, PPL Corporation, and not of any of
PPL Corporation's other subsidiaries. None of PPL Energy Supply, LLC or PPL Electric Utilities
Corporation or any of PPL Corporation's other subsidiaries will guarantee or provide any credit
support for the Notes.

agency makes certain changes in the equity credit criteria for
securities such as the Notes. See "Description of the
Notes -- Redemption."

Ranking; Guarantees
The Notes will be unsecured, subordinated obligations of
PPL Capital Funding that rank junior to all of PPL Capital
Funding's Senior Indebtedness (as defined herein). The
Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by PPL
Corporation as to payment of principal, interest and any
premium pursuant to subordinated guarantees
("Subordinated Guarantees") of PPL Corporation that rank
junior to all of PPL Corporation's Senior Indebtedness (as
defined herein). See "Description of the Notes --
Subordination." In addition, because PPL Corporation is a
holding company, its obligations on the Subordinated
Guarantees will be effectively subordinated to existing and
future liabilities of its subsidiaries. See "Risk Factors."

Option to Defer Interest
We may defer interest payments on the Notes, from time to
Payments
time, for one or more periods (each, an "Optional Deferral
Period") of up to 10 consecutive years per Optional Deferral
Period. In other words, we may declare at our discretion up
to a 10-year interest payment moratorium on the Notes, and
may choose to do that on more than one occasion. We may
not defer payments beyond the maturity date of the Notes.
Any deferred interest on the Notes will accrue additional
interest at a rate equal to the interest rate then applicable to
the Notes, to the extent permitted by applicable law. Once
all accrued and unpaid interest on the Notes has been paid,
we can begin a new Optional Deferral Period. See
"Description of the Notes -- Option to Defer Interest
Payments."

Certain Limitations During an During any period in which we defer interest payments on
Optional Deferral Period
the Notes, neither PPL Corporation nor PPL Capital
Funding may: (i) declare or pay any dividend or distribution
on its capital stock other than dividends paid in shares of its
capital stock, (ii) redeem, purchase, acquire or make a
liquidation payment with respect to any of its capital stock,
(iii) pay any principal, interest or premium on, or repay,
repurchase or redeem any debt securities that are equal or
junior in right of payment with the Notes or the
Subordinated Guarantees, as the case may be, or (iv) make
any payments with respect to any guarantee of debt
securities if such guarantee is equal or junior in right of
payment to the Notes or the Subordinated Guarantees, as the
case may be, subject to certain exceptions as more fully
described in this prospectus supplement. PPL Capital
Funding, however, has no current intention of deferring
interest payments on the Notes. See "Description of the
Notes -- Option to Defer Interest Payments."

Replacement Capital Covenant;
Capital Replacement Intention
On or about the time of the initial issuance of the Notes,
PPL Corporation and PPL Capital Funding will enter into a
Replacement Capital Covenant, in which PPL Corporation
and PPL Capital Funding will covenant for the benefit of
holders of a designated series of unsecured, long-term
indebtedness of PPL Corporation or PPL Capital Funding
