The NOPR follows a 2021 Notice of Inquiry (NOI) in which FERC sought comments. Multiple RTO/ISO regions have already elected not to compensate the provision of reactive power within the standard power factor range, including CAISO, SPP and MISO. PJM compensates generating facilities within the standard power factor using the AEP Methodology and ISO-NE and NYISO use a flat rate design. Transmission providers outside of RTOs/ISOs that pay compensation generally use the AEP Methodology.
