PPL is expanding its renewable energy portfolio through a build transfer agreement with BrightNight for a 120 MW solar project. The facility will support the long term electricity needs of Louisville Gas and Electric and Kentucky Utilities, shifting the generation mix away from coal and gas. This project allows PPL to acquire owned renewable assets while transferring early construction risk to the developer. The deal highlights the ongoing effort to balance grid reliability with decarbonization goals in the US utility sector.
