It is important that PFC should be considered not only by the Power supply company but to the consumers, It will make the entire system effecient. Most EU requires all offline Power supply and VSD >500W to have PFC. If a power supply company generate 1MW of power and the consumer power factor is only .5, so the amount of power usage is only 500KW, 500KW is not use due to wire losses and lagging/leading of the current with respect to the voltage. Same for Independent power producer if u maintain a good power factor you make use most of your generated power. Help make our electrical system and Transmission effecient to decrease our dependent to the mid east.
