A 'leading' power factor indicates that the load current is leading the supply voltage. Since power factor is the cosine of the angle by which the load current either leads or lags the supply voltage (i.e. the load's phase angle), a cosine of 0 corresponds to a phase angle of 90 degrees.
So, a power factor of 0 (leading) indicates that the load current is leading the supply voltage by 90 degrees, which means that the load must be purely capacitive.
