KPSC approves utilities’ requests to add new generation 

LOUISVILLE, Ky., Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Louisville Gas and Electric Company and Kentucky Utilities Company received approval October 28 from the Kentucky Public Service Commission (KPSC) to add new generation that will support LG&E and KU’s ability to continue serving customers safely and reliably, while keeping pace with Kentucky’s record-breaking economic development needs.

In its order, the KPSC granted LG&E and KU, subsidiaries of PPL Corporation (NYSE:PPL), the authority to construct two new, highly efficient 645-megawatt natural gas combined-cycle units, Mill Creek 6 and Brown 12, and upgrade environmental technologies for Unit 2 at Ghent Generating Station by installing a selective catalytic reduction facility.

“This is an exciting time for Kentucky as the interest in locating new and expanding businesses continues to grow,” said John R. Crockett III, LG&E and KU President. “These generation projects help ensure we continue to safely and reliably serve all customers and new economic development growth in the lowest reasonable cost manner.”

Unprecedented economic growth in the commonwealth prompted LG&E and KU to request approval on February 28 for a Certificate of Public Convenience and Necessity (CPCN) from the Commission for the two natural gas combined-cycle units, the upgraded environmental controls on Ghent Unit 2 and the installation of more battery storage.

The utilities then reached on July 29 a stipulation agreement with key intervening parties to the case. The agreement supported a majority of the generation projects initially proposed but withdrew the proposed battery storage project, with the right to file a future CPCN if necessary, and extended the operation of the Mill Creek 2 coal unit beyond its previously planned 2027 retirement date until Mill Creek 6 is in-service in 2031.

The stipulation agreement was reached with the Attorney General of the Commonwealth of Kentucky; Kentucky Industrial Utility Customers, Inc., Southern Renewable Energy Association and the Kentucky Coal Association, Inc.

In the order, the Commission did not rule on extending the operation of Mill Creek Unit 2 because authority to retire the unit in 2027 had been previously granted and instead could consider a later retirement in the future. In addition, the Commission decided not to approve two proposed rate mechanisms as part of the case but noted the mechanisms could be included for review in other proceedings.

LG&E and KU expect to have the first unit, Brown 12, available in 2030 and the second unit, Mill Creek 6, available in 2031. The Ghent 2 SCR is expected to be available in 2028.

LG&E and KU appreciate the collaborative efforts of the parties to this proceeding, as the utilities look to meet the growing energy needs in the Commonwealth, and look forward to continuing to work with the KPSC on the items not approved in its order.

About LG&E and KU’s generation fleet
LG&E and KU currently have more than 7,200 megawatts of power generation capacity comprising coal-fired, natural gas, solar and hydro, and an all-of-the-above approach to their generation fleet that’s flexible and one of the most reliable in the nation. The utilities dispatch least-cost generation first, and this balanced generation approach gives the utilities the flexibility to hedge against fuel price increases for customers, while continuing to ensure safe, reliable and affordable service.

• Hyundai Motor Group engages in strategic dialogue in the session “Hydrogen, Beyond Mobility, New Energy for Society” at APEC CEO Summit Korea 2025
• Vice Chair Jaehoon Chang emphasizes hydrogen’s role as a catalyst of carbon neutrality and strategic energy carrier
• The Group calls for global collaboration to advance the hydrogen ecosystem through government-industry partnerships
• The Group showcases nearly 30 years of hydrogen leadership beyond mobility across the comprehensive value chain―from production and storage to utilization

GYEONGJU, South Korea, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Hyundai Motor Group (the Group) today held a high-level dialogue on hydrogen strategy at the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) CEO Summit Korea 2025. Hyundai Motor Group Vice Chair and Hydrogen Council Co-Chair, Jaehoon Chang, joined Hydrogen Council CEO, Ivana Jemelkova, to discuss the current state of the hydrogen industry and its role in sustainable growth across the Asia-Pacific region.

Under the theme “Bridge, Business and Beyond,” the APEC CEO Summit brought together global leaders to address challenges such as regional integration, digital transformation, and sustainability. In the session titled “Hydrogen, Beyond Mobility, New Energy for Society” led by the Group, Vice Chair Chang emphasized hydrogen’s role in achieving carbon neutrality and energy resilience, and called for coordinated efforts to accelerate adoption.

“Hydrogen accelerates carbon neutrality by addressing the intermittency of renewables and enhancing energy resilience,” said Jaehoon Chang, Vice Chair of Hyundai Motor Group. “Hydrogen also stands out as a strategic energy carrier, enabling localized generation and distribution systems—such as off-grid and microgrid ecosystems—that reduce reliance on centralized grids and strengthen communities’ self-sufficiency.”

During the session, Vice Chair Chang and Hydrogen Council CEO, Ivana Jemelkova, shared insights on the Global Hydrogen Compass 2025, which outlines a pivotal moment for the industry—shifting from ambition to delivery with USD 110 billion of committed capital across 510 projects past financial investment decision globally.

“Since 2020, global capital commitments to clean hydrogen have grown ten times―a remarkable trajectory,” said Ivana Jemelkova, CEO of Hydrogen Council. “Our next big test is demand which requires clear, practical and stable policies and strong public-private collaboration. At the Hydrogen Council, the largest and only CEO-led global business initiative on clean hydrogen, we are proud to work closely with Hyundai Motor Group in their capacity of Council Co-chair to mobilize key players at this pivotal moment and keep moving hydrogen forward.”

The Group outlined how it is translating global momentum into action—by leading efforts to both drive demand and ensure supply across the hydrogen value chain.

“We believe creating demand and securing supply must go hand in hand. That’s why Hyundai is taking bold steps to lead on both fronts,” said Vice Chair Chang. “Building a hydrogen ecosystem is something no single company can do alone—it requires collective effort.”

SINGAPORE, Oct. 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Recently, the United Nations University Institute successfully hosted the Artificial Intelligence Conference. During the event, Generative AI video platform, PixVerse officially joined the United Nations University Global AI Network (UNU Global AI Network) and, together with the Network, launched the “AI for Good Academy.”

Founded in April 2024, the UNU Global AI Network has brought together more than 120 leading academic, industry, and policy institutions worldwide, promoting the application of AI technologies within the framework of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

As the platform committed to lowering the barriers to video creation and promoting the inclusive development of AI technology, PixVerse has long upheld the principle of “AI for Good.” Through initiatives such as the AI for Good Challenge, PixVerse encourages global users to participate in meaningful, positive AI-driven content creation.

At the AI for Good Global Summit 2025, PixVerse showcased its innovative AI video platform, which empowers creators around the world. The platform was recognized in the “Innovate for Impact Use case” collection and selected as an Outstanding Case in the Productivity category.

PixVerse enables cinematic-quality video creation through simple text prompts or photo uploads—no prior expertise required.  This innovation directly supports UN Sustainable Development Goal 10 (Reduced Inequalities) by enabling participation in the creator economy for individuals across different geographies, education levels, and income brackets. Currently, fewer than 10% of social media users in most countries actively create video content—a gap that PixVerse is helping to bridge.

Real-World Impact: From Hobbyists to Professionals

PixVerse’s inclusive power is evident in a variety of user success stories:

• Brazilian creator @nerdsoul generated 210 million views and attracted 300,000 followers in just two months using PixVerse for character aging effects, later featured on Brazilian national TV.
• Portuguese director João More (formerly a fashion professional) used PixVerse to create a 30-minute, fully AI-generated film, which was selected for the Fantasporto International Film Festival.
• Ukrainian director Michael Heina produced a high-end perfume advertisement using the platform, showcasing its professional-grade capabilities.

PixVerse also launched the AI for Good Film Contest, inviting global users to create AI-generated videos centered on themes of kindness and positive impact. The contest attracted participants from across different countries and regions. One creator, a mother, used PixVerse to produce animated nursery rhyme videos such as “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star.” Her creations, shared on YouTube and other social media platforms, have garnered over 5 million views. Within a month, the contest received numerous submissions covering themes such as women’s empowerment, animal rescue, and inclusive education.

In addition, PixVerse’s original template “Old Photo Revival” inspired users around the world to recreate and share heartwarming memories, sparking a cross-generational wave of AI-powered creativity.

PixVerse serves over 100 million users worldwide. By continuously encouraging responsible and benevolent AI creation within its global community, PixVerse is advancing AI for social good and creative.

PixVerse will leverage the AI for Good Academy within the UNU Global AI Network to deepen its creator programs, host AI for Good workshops, and organize creative challenges. Through these initiatives, PixVerse aims to build a global community of AI creators dedicated to “AI for Good,” sharing inspiring stories and empowering more people to realize and spread their ideas of kindness through AI.

About PixVerse: Launched in January 2024, PixVerse develops the world’s leading AI video generation models and applications. We empower next-generation video creation and consumption for the AGI era, democratizing AI video technology through intuitive effect templates that transform professional tools into platforms for mass creativity.
