FERC has proposed to eliminate the exemption for wind generators from the requirement to provide reactive power.

The proposal would require all new interconnecting generators to provide reactive power by revising both the pro forma Large Generator Interconnection Agreement (facilities larger than 20 megawatts) and the pro forma Small Generator Interconnection Agreement to eliminate the reactive power exemption for wind generators. The requirement also would apply to generators making upgrades that require new interconnection requests.

Comments on the proposal are due 60 days after publication in the Federal Register.
