PPL Adds Kenneth Hartwick, Former Ontario Power Generation CEO, to Board of Directors

Neutral Impact 2 of 5 leadership Written later

PPL Corporation's board elected Kenneth M. Hartwick as a director, effective July 1, 2026. He previously served as president and chief executive officer of Ontario Power Generation from 2019 to 2025, and the filing says his utility CEO and CFO experience will strengthen the board. The filing does not describe any financial effect on PPL, and Hartwick will receive the same non-employee director compensation as other directors.

  • Hartwick was president and CEO of Ontario Power Generation from 2019 to 2025.
  • He will serve on the People and Compensation Committee and Finance Committee.
