Related Party Transactions | 11. Related Party Transactions Support Costs (PPL Electric, LG&E and KU) PPL Services and LKS provide the Registrants, their respective subsidiaries and each other with administrative, management and support services. For all services companies, the costs of directly assignable and attributable services are charged to the respective recipients as direct support costs. General costs that cannot be directly attributed to a specific entity are allocated and charged to the respective recipients as indirect support costs. PPL Services and LKS use a three-factor methodology that includes the applicable recipients' invested capital, operation and maintenance expenses and number of employees to allocate indirect costs. PPL Services and LKS charged the following amounts for the periods ended March 31, including amounts applied to accounts that are further distributed between capital and expense on the books of the recipients, based on methods that are believed to be reasonable.

In 2024, additional excess funds were removed from the PPL Bargaining Unit Retiree Health Plan VEBA and deposited into the existing subaccount within the VEBA to be used to pay medical claims of active bargaining unit employees.
