be used operationally and doesn’t specify how ancillary services should be rewarded
• FTR/RTF & C10/11 requirements are a minimum on top of the minimal requirements set
by the NC RfG.

• NC DCC: art. 15
• NC DCC specifies only the requirements, doesn’t indicate how this requirements should
be used operationally and doesn’t specify how tariffs should be set.
• Joint analysis with relevant CDS Operators to determine requirements for CDS
• Goal: reduce reactive power requirements by demand facilities and to enlarge reactive
power control capabilities of distribution systems and demand facilities
