M12438 · EfficiencyOne - 2025 Q2 Demand Side Management (DSM) Report

AI summary

Q2 2025 results (April 1–June 30, 2025) included 36.2 GWh of net incremental energy savings, 7.4 MW of net peak demand savings, and a portfolio expenditure of $17.4 million, bringing year-to-date totals to 77.7 GWh of energy savings and $32.8 million invested (E-1, p. 1).
For the full 2023–2025 Plan period, Efficiencyone projects achieving 108% of the 412.7 GWh energy savings target and 105% of the 78.8 MW demand savings target, but only 40% (7.2 MW) of the 17.9 MW Demand Side Management available capacity target, meaning the Load Management Demand Response program will miss its compliance threshold (E-1, Table 1, p. 2).
The Residential Programs Residential Behaviour program component was paused indefinitely in May 2025 after NS Power's Cybersecurity incident cut off AMI customer consumption data, eliminating E1's ability to generate home energy reports and track savings; no firm timeline for restoration has been provided, creating material uncertainty in year-end forecasts (E-1, pp. 5, 20).
Several program adjustments were made mid-quarter to stay within the approved $173.0 million three-year investment cap, including removing LED lighting measures from Instant Savings and Business Energy Rebates, ending increased lighting rebates in Business Energy Rebates on April 15, and halting new commercial solar PV applications (E-1, pp. 14, 20).
Low Income Programs dedicated programs (Affordable Single-family Homes, Affordable Multi-family Housing, Mi'kmaw Home Energy Efficiency Project) are forecast to reach 94% of their 15.8 GWh three-year target, with Affordable Single-family Homes participation year-to-date at 202% of the 2025 annual plan, driven by faster project completion rates (E-1, Table 1, p. 2; Table 11, p. 27).
