Summary
PPL Corporation reported third-quarter 2026 GAAP earnings of $367 million, or $0.49 a share, and ongoing earnings of $0.54 a share versus $0.48 a year earlier, and raised its long-term annual EPS growth target to 7%–9% through at least 2030 alongside a $25 billion capital plan for 2027–2030. PPL's joint venture Invitium Energy agreed to key commercial terms — a nonbinding term sheet — with QTS for approximately 2 GW of generation capacity to serve QTS's Salem Township, Pennsylvania data center project.
Key points

- PPL cited $12 billion to $16 billion of potential additional generation investment through 2032, which CEO Vincent Sorgi said could raise projected annual EPS growth to 9%+ from 2026 to 2030.
- Invitium's proposed generation portfolio for QTS includes two combined-cycle natural gas plants plus fuel cells and battery storage, under a term sheet with a 20-year initial term and provisions for multiple five-year renewals.
