Abstract
This paper presents the characteristics of reactive power and voltage support and proposes two generic methods for pricing reactive power. The first is a capacity based method and the second is based on actual reactive power production. A combination of both is also presented in the paper as a possible alternative. The framework for reactive power management and pricing along with the specific market rules for the California market is further presented in detail
