We expect PPL to invest $30 billion in its utilities through 2030, supporting 10% growth in consolidated rate base. These regulated utility growth opportunities support our expectation that the company will earn within the upper range of management's 6%-8% earnings growth target.
PPL's US regulated earnings mix provides a stable base for earnings growth.
PPL's large capital investment plan increases regulatory risk.
