HistoryLG&E was formed in 1838 as Louisville Gas and Water, but dropped its plans to provide water utilities in 1842 changing its name simply to Louisville Gas. LG&E was originally formed by investors with the intention of providing gas-fired street lighting which had been mandated in order to help prevent crime. In 1890 LG&E (Louisville Gas at this point) amended its charter to buy stock in electric companies and acquired Louisville Electric light. In 1913, Louisville Gas, Louisville Lighting, and Kentucky Heating merged to form Louisville Gas & Electric (LG&E). [3] In 1990, LG&E reorganized itself as a holding company LG&E Energy Corporation. In 1998, LG&E Energy merged with the other major electric utility in Kentucky, Kentucky Utilities. In 2000, LG&E Energy was bought by British utility company Powergen. In 2002, Powergen was bought by the German company E.ON. In 2003, LG&E Energy changed its name to E.ON US. Finally, in 2010, E.ON US was bought by PPL Corporation. PPL changed the name of the company to LG&E and KU Energy LLC.[4] GenerationThe current electric generating stations serving the region include two coal-fired plants (Trimble County Generating Station and Mill Creek Station), one natural gas/fuel oil combustion turbine, one hydroelectric plant (Ohio Falls Station), two natural gas facilities (Muldraugh and Magnolia Compressor Stations) and one natural gas combined cycle facility (Cane Run Station).[5] Acquisition by PPL CorporationPPL and E.ON announced on April 28, 2010, a definitive agreement under which PPL will acquire E.ON US for $7.625 billion.[6] The sale was closed on November 1, 2010.[7] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://lge-ku.com/node/7211|title=LG&E and KU - Our company|website=LG&E and KU}} 2. ^Data from E.ON U.S. (formerly LG&E Energy) {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081011064642/http://www.eon-us.com/ |date=2008-10-11 }} 3. ^{{cite web|url=https://lge-ku.com/node/1050|title=LG&E and KU - About LG&E|website=LG&E and KU}} 4. ^{{cite web | url=http://lge-ku.com/our-company/corporate-history | title=LG&E KU - Corporate History | accessdate=18 May 2014}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.eon-us.com/lge/lge_plant_info.asp|title=LG&E Power Plant Information|accessdate=2007-07-19|deadurl=yes|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20110710194318/http://www.eon-us.com/lge/lge_plant_info.asp|archivedate=2011-07-10|df=}} 6. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.wave3.com/global/story.asp?s=12393510|title=WAVE-TV: "LG&E, KU Sold to PA Company"|publisher=}} 7. ^{{cite web|url=https://pplweb.mediaroom.com/news-releases?item=17850|title=PPL Completes Acquisition of Two Kentucky Utility Companies|website=PPL Newsroom}} External links
