PPL Corporation to sell subsidiary, PPL Safari Holdings
PPL Corp. is selling its subsidiary, PPL Safari Holdings LLC, to a subsidiary of Aspen Power Partners LLC.
PPL Safari Holdings is a company that acquires solar projects and develops and manages solar facilities for commercial and industrial customers and public sector organizations.
The decision to sell Safari Holdings reflects the company’s recent strategic repositioning as it sharpens its focus on its core business – high-performing regulated utilities in the U.S. and advancing the clean energy transition through forward-looking grid investments.
PPL and Aspen expect to close on the transaction in the fourth quarter of 2022, pending a review by the U.S. Department of Justice. The sale is not considered material to PPL Corporation.
