[Docket No. AD14-1-000]


 Notice Announcing Workshop; Zero Rate Reactive Power Rate 
Schedules

    Concurrent with this notice, the Commission is issuing an order in 
Chehalis Power Generating, L.P., Docket No. ER05-1056-007 clarifying 
its policy related to jurisdictional reactive power rate schedules.\1\ 
In that order, the Commission finds that, on a prospective basis, for 
any jurisdictional reactive power service (including within-the-
deadband reactive power service) provided by both new and existing 
generators, the rates, terms, and conditions for such service must be 
pursuant to a rate schedule on file with the Commission, even when that 
rate schedule provides no compensation for such service. As set forth 
in that order, the Commission directed staff to conduct a workshop, in 
a generic proceeding, to explore the mechanics of public utilities 
filing reactive power rate schedules for which there is no 
compensation.
