We expect PPL to invest more than $17 billion at its utilities through 2028. These regulated utility growth opportunities support our expectations for 7% annual earnings growth, in line with management's 6%-8% earnings growth target.
PPL's domestic regulated earnings mix provides a stable base for earnings growth.
PPL's regulated operations in Kentucky and Pennsylvania offer investors less growth than some high-growth peers.
