This week, PPL hosted the very first PPL Innovation Summit! By the numbers, we brought together an exclusive audience of 250 innovation leaders from across the country, featuring 21 speakers and 45 exhibiting companies including tech giants—most of the magnificent seven—to brand new startups and everything in between. We came together with purpose: to imagine a smarter, cleaner, more resilient energy future and to build the collaboration necessary to make it happen. We hope to see many of you again perhaps in the Ocean State in early 2027. Thank you for being part of this journey as we build the utility of the future together.

The theme for this year's Speed Art Museum Ball—Louisville's premiere black tie gala—was Springtime in Paris with a charming 1920's Parisian ambiance. While always memorable, this year's ball was absolutely extraordinary. @SpeedArtMuseum

Scott and I explored Big Sur along Highway 1 today.

The Cane Run plant will see funding from the multibillion-dollar federal investment in nascent carbon capture technology. https://t.co/0w25aIC0cz

[Connor Giffin @byconnorgiffin]

Millions of federal dollars for carbon capture are coming to a Louisville power plant, as @lgeku considers ways to decarbonize a fossil fuel-dominated generating fleet.

Details on the project plans, and why carbon capture tech is so controversial:

I’m sorry I missed your ‘urgent’ emails, but the reception here on this cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea in Cinque Terre is very poor. 🇮🇹🙂🍷☀️

Scott and I rowed across il Lago di Braies in Dolomiti today, which in addition to being beautiful, was historically a Nazi camp for high profile German political prisoners at the end of the Second World War, including Colonel Stauffenberg who led the Operation Valkyrie assassination attempt on Hitler. The camp was liberated by the American Army in 1945. Today, the lake is over-visited by tourists like us so we arrived very early this morning to be first to rent a row boat to be able to take this shot.

Scott and I are starting off a month in Italy in Venice. La vita è bella!
