[Docket No. AD16-17-000]


Reactive Supply Compensation in Markets Operated by Regional 
Transmission Organizations and Independent System Operators; Notice of 
Workshop

    Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (Commission) staff will 
convene a workshop on June 30, 2016, from 12:00 p.m. (EDT) to 4:00 p.m. 
(EDT) in the Commission Meeting Room at 888 First Street NE., 
Washington, DC 20426. The workshop will be open to the public, and all 
interested parties are invited to attend and participate. The workshop 
will be led by Commission staff, and may be attended by one or more 
Commissioners.
    The purpose of the workshop is to discuss compensation for Reactive 
Supply and Voltage Control (Reactive Supply) within the Independent 
System Operators (ISOs) and Regional Transmission Organizations (RTOs). 
Specifically, the workshop will explore the types of costs incurred by 
generators for providing Reactive Supply capability and service; 
whether those costs are being recovered solely as compensation for 
Reactive Supply or whether recovery is also through compensation for 
other services; and different methods by which generators receive 
compensation for Reactive Supply (e.g., Commission-approved revenue 
requirements, market-wide rates, etc.). The workshop will also explore 
potential adjustments in compensation based on changes in Reactive 
Supply capability and potential mechanisms to prevent overcompensation 
for Reactive Supply.
    This workshop will be transcribed. Transcripts of the workshop will 
be immediately available for a fee from Ace-Federal Reporters, Inc. at 
(202) 347-3700. A free webcast of this event will be available through
