This prospectus supplement, which supplements our prospectus dated July 16, 2003, contains information about the selling securityholders.

_________________________

The Securities and Exchange Commission and state securities regulators have not approved or disapproved of these securities, or determined if this prospectus supplement is truthful or complete. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.


_____________________

                 As used in this prospectus supplement, the terms "company," "we," "our," "ours" and "us" may, depending on the context, refer to PPL Energy Supply, PPL Corporation, to one or more of PPL Corporation's consolidated subsidiaries or to all of them taken as a whole.

______________________

                 You should rely only on the information contained in this prospectus supplement and the prospectus to which it refers. We have not authorized any other person to provide you with different or additional information. If anyone provides you with different or additional information, you should not rely on it. We are not making an offer to sell these securities in any jurisdiction where the offer or sale is not permitted. You should assume that the information appearing in this prospectus supplement and the prospectus to which it refers is accurate only as of their respective dates.


SELLING SECURITYHOLDERS

               We originally issued the notes in a private placement that closed on May 21, 2003. The initial purchasers of the notes have advised us that the notes were resold in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act to "qualified institutional buyers," as defined in Rule 144A of the Securities Act. Selling securityholders may offer and sell the notes and/or shares of PPL Corporation common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the prospectus (the "prospectus").

               The selling securityholders are offering notes and shares of PPL Corporation common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes under this prospectus supplement and the prospectus pursuant to existing registration rights conferred by the registration rights agreement, dated as of May 21, 2003, among PPL Energy Supply, LLC, PPL Corporation and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Wachovia Securities, Inc., as representatives of the several other initial purchasers named therein. The following table sets forth information, as of June 17, 2004, with respect to all selling securityholders (including those listed in the prospectus and each subsequent prospectus supplement that referred to the prospectus) and the principal amounts of notes and number of shares of PPL Corporation common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes beneficially owned by each selling securityholder that may be offered under this prospectus supplement and the prospectus. The information is based on information provided by or on behalf of the selling securityholders. The selling securityholders may offer all, some or none of the notes or PPL Corporation common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. Because the selling securityholders may offer all or some portion of the notes or the PPL Corporation common stock, no estimate can be given as to the amount of the notes or the PPL Corporation common stock that will be held by the selling securityholders upon termination of any sales. In addition, the selling securityholders identified below may have sold, transferred or otherwise disposed of all or a portion of their notes in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or pursuant to the shelf registration statement and amendments or supplements thereto. The selling securityholders, including their transferees, pledgees or donees or their successors, may from time to time offer and sell pursuant to this prospectus supplement and the prospectus any or all of the notes and PPL Corporation common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes. Identification of any additional selling securityholders who exercise their registration rights, if any, will be made in another prospectus supplement.

The figures in this column are based on information supplied to us as of June 17, 2004 by the selling securityholders named in the table. As of that date, these selling securityholders had supplied us with information indicating that, collectively, they owned more than $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes (which would be convertible into more than 8,044,240 shares of common stock), reflecting, we believe that one or more selling securityholders supplied us with information for inclusion in the table and then sold their notes in transactions exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, to persons who also supplied us with information with respect to the same notes. However, since neither this prospectus supplement nor the prospectus to which it refers would be applicable to any sale of the notes after they have been publicly sold using this prospectus supplement or the prospectus to which it refers, no more than $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the notes could be sold using this prospectus supplement or the prospectus to which it refers and, accordingly, the $400,000,000 total in the first column of this table represents the maximum principal amount of the notes that could be sold under this prospectus supplement or the prospectus to which it refers.
