Item 5. Other Events.
On July 28, 2000, LG&E Energy Corp. ("LG&E Energy") announced it had increased
its after-tax loss on disposal of discontinued operations by an additional $155
million to reflect the most recent forecast of load to be served under the
Oglethorpe Power Corporation contract, revised energy price forecasts and
operating experience thus far this year. Although the company uses what it
believes to be appropriate estimates for future energy prices, loads and other
factors, it recognizes that there are inherent limitations in models to
accurately predict future events and, as such, the write-off remains subject to
further estimation and analysis.
A news release of LG&E Energy describing the above matter is filed with this
report as Exhibit 99.01 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 7(c). Exhibits Filed.
