LG&E and KU Energy LLC's reported carbon emissions

Inherited from PPL Corporation

As of the latest available data, LG&E and KU Energy LLC does not report specific carbon emissions figures, indicating a lack of recent emissions data. The company is a current subsidiary of PPL Corporation, which may influence its climate commitments and performance metrics. While no specific reduction targets or achievements are documented for LG&E and KU Energy LLC, it is important to note that the company is part of a broader corporate family that may have its own climate initiatives.
