Con Edison and other NY energy delivery companies recently began sending out letters to energy users describing the implementation schedule of the new reactive power charge. Beginning in October 2010, customers with monthly demand higher than 1,000 kW and power factor lower than 95% will see a reactive power charge on their bills. Beginning in October 2011, the charge will apply to customers with monthly demand higher than 500 kW. Correcting power factor by installing capacitors will result in the elimination of this charge.

Good Energy can help energy users in New York prepare for the October 2010 and 2011 deadlines by evaluating how much capacitance is required and performing cost analysis work to calculate the return on an investment in the power factor correction equipment.
