Abstract	The negative impact of low power factors on power networks is significant and profound particularly at the distribution level. Inadequate voltage profiles, increased network losses, and the overheating of machines and equipment are some of the well-known side effects of low power factors. Regulations, financial penalties and incentives, and technical solutions have all been used to improve low power factor levels. In this paper, a multiplier-based approach for low power factor penalties is proposed by means of genetic algorithm optimization and payback periods. Inherent to the proposed method are the financial and the technical concerns of both the electricity service provider and the customer. Moreover, the study helps with underling the factors that have to be considered when designing the penalties for low power factor in order to eliminate the wide difference in the adopted power factor regulations around the world.
