ABOUT THIS PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
This prospectus supplement is part of a registration statement that PPL Energy Supply has filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") utilizing a "shelf" registration process. Under this shelf process, we are offering to sell the Notes, using this
prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. This prospectus supplement describes the specific terms of this offering.
The accompanying prospectus and the information incorporated by reference therein describe our business and give more general
information, some of which may not apply to this offering. Generally, when we refer only to the "prospectus," we are referring to both
parts combined. You should read this prospectus supplement together with the accompanying prospectus before making a decision to
invest in the Notes. If the information in this prospectus supplement or the information incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement is inconsistent with the accompanying prospectus, the information in this prospectus supplement or the information
incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement will apply and will supersede that information in the accompanying
prospectus.
Certain affiliates of PPL Energy Supply, specifically PPL Corporation, PPL Capital Funding, Inc. and PPL Electric Utilities
Corporation, have also registered their securities on the "shelf" registration statement referred to above. However, the Notes are
solely obligations of PPL Energy Supply and not of PPL Corporation or any of PPL Corporation's other subsidiaries or of any other
affiliate of PPL Energy Supply. None of PPL Corporation, PPL Capital Funding, Inc. or PPL Electric Utilities Corporation or any of
PPL Energy Supply's subsidiaries or other affiliates will guarantee or provide any credit support for the Notes.

SUMMARY
The following summary contains information about the offering by PPL Energy Supply of its Notes. It does not contain
all of the information that may be important to you in making a decision to purchase the Notes. For a more complete
understanding of PPL Energy Supply and the offering of the Notes, we urge you to read this entire prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference herein carefully, including the "Risk Factors"
sections and our financial statements and the notes to those statements.
The Offering

Issuer
PPL Energy Supply, LLC.

Securities Offered
$500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of PPL Energy
Supply's 4.60% Senior Notes due 2021.

Stated Maturity Date
December 15, 2021.

Interest Payment Dates
Interest on the Notes will be payable on June 15 and December 15 of each
year, commencing on June 15, 2012 and at maturity or upon earlier redemption.

Interest Rate
4.60% per annum.

Redemption
The Notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole at any time or in part from
time to time, at the redemption prices set forth in this prospectus supplement.
The Notes will not be entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund or other
mandatory redemption and will not be repayable at the option of the holder of
a Note prior to the Stated Maturity Date. See "Description of the Notes --
Redemption."

Covenants
Under the Indenture, we have agreed to certain restrictions on incurring
secured debt and entering into certain transactions. See "Description of the
Notes -- Certain Covenants."

Listing
We do not intend to list the Notes on any securities exchange.

Form and Denomination
The Notes will be initially registered in the form of one or more global
securities, without coupons, in denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples
thereof, and deposited with the Trustee on behalf of The Depository
Trust Company ("DTC"), as depositary, and registered in the name of DTC or
its nominee. See "Description of the Notes -- General" and "Description of
the Notes -- Book-Entry Only Issuance -- The Depository Trust Company."

Ranking
The Notes will be our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and will rank
equally with all of our other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from
time to time outstanding. Because we are a holding company, our obligations
on the Notes will be effectively subordinated to existing and future liabilities
of our subsidiaries. See "Risk Factors."

Use of Proceeds
We intend to apply a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to repay a
portion of the short-term debt incurred to repay at maturity our $500 million
aggregate principal amount of 6.40% Senior Notes due November 1, 2011. The
balance of the net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes. See
"Use of Proceeds."

RISK FACTORS
Before making a decision to invest in the Notes, you should carefully consider the risk factors described below, the risk
factors described on page 3 of the accompanying prospectus and the risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the year ended December 31, 2010 beginning on page 17, as supplemented by our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter
ended September 30, 2011 on page 207, as well as the other information included in this prospectus supplement, the
accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying
prospectus.
Our cash flow and ability to meet debt obligations largely depend on the performance of our subsidiaries and affiliates.
We are a holding company and conduct our operations primarily through subsidiaries. Substantially all of our consolidated
assets are held by such subsidiaries. Accordingly, our cash flow and our ability to meet our obligations under the Notes are largely
dependent upon the earnings of these subsidiaries and the distribution or other payment of such earnings to us in the form of dividends,
loans or advances or repayment of loans and advances from us. The subsidiaries are separate and distinct legal entities and have no
obligation to pay any amounts due on the Notes or to make any funds available for such payment.
Because we are a holding company, our obligations on the Notes will be effectively subordinated to all existing and future
liabilities of our subsidiaries. Therefore, our rights and the rights of our creditors, including rights of a holder of any Note, to
participate in the assets of any subsidiary in the event that such a subsidiary is liquidated or reorganized will be subject to the prior
claims of such subsidiary's creditors. To the extent that we may be a creditor with recognized claims against any such subsidiary, our
claims would still be effectively subordinated to any security interest in, or mortgages or other liens on, the assets of the subsidiary
and would be subordinated to any indebtedness or other liabilities of the subsidiary senior to that held by us. Although certain
agreements to which we and our subsidiaries are parties limit the ability to incur additional indebtedness, we and our subsidiaries
retain the ability to incur substantial additional indebtedness and other liabilities.
The debt agreements of some of our subsidiaries and affiliates contain provisions that might restrict their ability to pay
dividends, make distributions or otherwise transfer funds to us upon failing to meet certain financial tests or other conditions prior to
the payment of other obligations, including operating expenses, debt service and reserves. We currently believe that all of our
subsidiaries and affiliates are in compliance with such tests and conditions. Further, if we elect to receive distributions of earnings
from our foreign operations, we may incur United States taxes, net of any available foreign tax credits, on such amounts. Distributions
to us from our international projects are, in some countries, also subject to withholding taxes.
An active trading market for the Notes may not develop.
The Notes are new securities and we do not intend to apply for listing of the Notes on any securities exchange. We cannot assure
that an active trading market for the Notes will develop. There can be no assurances as to the liquidity of any market that may develop
for the Notes, the ability of holders to sell their Notes or the price at which the holders will be able to sell their Notes. Future trading
prices of the Notes will depend on many factors including, among other things, prevailing interest rates, our operating results and the
market for similar securities.
USE OF PROCEEDS
We anticipate that we will receive approximately $496 million in net proceeds from the offering after deducting the
underwriting discount and estimated expenses payable by us. We intend to apply a portion of the net proceeds of this offering to repay
a portion of the short-term debt (with a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 0.94%) incurred to repay at maturity our
$500 million aggregate principal amount of 6.40% Senior Notes due November 1, 2011. The balance of the net proceeds will be used
for general corporate purposes.

Table of Contents
DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The following summary description sets forth certain terms and provisions of the Notes that we are offering by this prospectus
supplement. Because this description is a summary, it does not describe every aspect of the Notes or the Indenture under which the
Notes will be issued, as described below. The Indenture is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which the accompanying
prospectus is a part. The Indenture and its associated documents contain the full legal text of the matters described in this section.
This summary is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to all of the provisions of the Notes and the Indenture, including
definitions of certain terms used in the Indenture. We also include references in parentheses to certain sections of the Indenture.
Whenever we refer to particular sections or defined terms of the Indenture in this prospectus supplement, such sections or defined
terms are incorporated by reference herein. The Indenture has been qualified under the Trust Indenture Act, and you should refer to the
Trust Indenture Act for provisions that apply to the Notes.
General
We will issue the Notes as a series of debt securities under our Indenture, dated as of October 1, 2001 (as such indenture has
been and may be amended and supplemented from time to time, the "Indenture"), to The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee (the
"Trustee"). We may issue an unlimited amount of Notes or other debt securities under the Indenture. The Notes and all other debt
securities issued previously or hereafter under the Indenture are collectively referred to herein as the "Indenture Securities."
The Notes will be our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations.
The Notes will be issued in fully registered form only, without coupons. The Notes will be initially represented by one or more
fully registered global securities (the "Global Securities") deposited with the Trustee, as custodian for DTC, as depositary, and
registered in the name of DTC or DTC's nominee. A beneficial interest in a Global Security will be shown on, and transfers or
exchanges thereof will be effected only through, records maintained by DTC and its participants, as described below under
"-- Book-Entry Only Issuance -- The Depository Trust Company." The authorized denominations of the Notes will be $1,000 and
integral multiples thereof. Except in limited circumstances described below, the Notes will not be exchangeable for Notes in
definitive certificated form.
The Notes are initially being offered in one series in the principal amount of $500,000,000. We may, without the consent of the
holders of the Notes, increase the principal amount of the series and issue additional notes of such series having the same ranking,
interest rate, maturity and other terms (other than the date of issuance, public offering price and, in some circumstances, the initial
interest accrual date and initial interest payment date) as the Notes. Any such additional notes may, together with the Notes, constitute
a single series of securities under the Indenture and may be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including,
without limitation, voting, waivers and amendments.
Principal and Interest
The Notes will mature on December 15, 2021 (the "Stated Maturity Date") and will bear interest from the date of issuance at the
rate of 4.60% per annum. Interest will be payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year (each, an "Interest Payment Date"),
commencing on June 15, 2012, and at maturity (whether at the Stated Maturity Date, upon redemption, or otherwise, "Maturity").
Subject to certain exceptions, the Indenture provides for the payment of interest on an Interest Payment Date only to persons in whose
names the Notes are registered at the close of business on the Regular Record Date, which will be the June 1 or December 1 (whether
or not a Business Day), as the case may be, immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date; except that interest payable
at Maturity will be paid to the person to whom principal is paid.
Interest on the Notes will be calculated on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, and with respect to
any period less than a full calendar month, on the basis of the actual number of days elapsed during the period.
