   When I last dealt with this, power generator companies "assumed" there   
   would be an average power factor and set up their generators to handle   
   that. Your individual house (or, probably, even a small factory) would   
   not cause much variation in that power factor, considering the   
   generators are probably supplying hundreds of thousands of homes at the   
   same time!!
