Power Factor Correction Clause Samples
The Power Factor Correction clause requires parties, typically in an energy supply or equipment contract, to maintain or improve the efficiency of electrical power usage by correcting the power factor. This is often achieved by installing devices such as capacitors or synchronous condensers to reduce reactive power and improve the ratio of real power to apparent power in an electrical system. By enforcing this requirement, the clause helps minimize energy losses, reduce utility charges related to poor power factor, and ensure the electrical system operates efficiently and within regulatory or utility standards.
Power Factor Correction. The customer shall provide, at his expense, the necessary power factor corrective equipment to maintain a power factor of at least 90% lagging unless a power factor adjustment is being applied for billing purposes in accordance with appropriate rate schedules.

Power Factor Correction. Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, Buyer shall maintain a minimum power factor of .85 at Buyer's Plant, and shall install such power factor correction equipment as may be required for such purpose. Seller shall be responsible for providing reactive power as may be required to compensate for Buyer's reactive power consumption to the extent Buyer operates above such minimum power factor level.
Power Factor Correction. NBU encourages customers to achieve power factor at or above 95%. Where a customer has power factor correction equipment past the NBU point of delivery, all power factor correction equipment shall be three- phase operable. Power factor correction / kVAR balancing shall also be within 10% phase to phase. Allowable leading kVAR may not exceed the lesser of 25% of a customer’s kW peak monthly demand, or 1,000 kVAR total. Failure to switch power factor correction equipment off and/or exceeding allowable leading kVAR may result in disconnection of service.
