Nova Scotia Energy Board accepts EfficiencyOne's Q3 2025 DSM Report as filed, noting cost overruns and a missed available capacity target
AI summary
- Efficiencyone filed its Q3 2025 Demand Side Management report on November 25, 2025, covering July 1–September 30, 2025, with total portfolio expenditures of $14.4 million (Board Letter, p. 1).
- E1 achieved 26.3 GWh of net incremental energy savings and 6.0 MW of net peak demand savings for the quarter, including 1.8 GWh attributable to Low Income Programs (Affordable Multi-family Housing, Affordable Single-family Homes, and the Mi'kmaw Home Energy Efficiency Project) (Board Letter, p. 1).
- The Q3 unit cost of $0.42/kWh and year-end forecast of $0.44/kWh both exceed the 2025 Plan as Approved cost of $0.38/kWh, as shown in Table 4 of the report (Board Letter, p. 1).
- E1 does not expect to meet the available capacity target of 17.9 MW; only 6.9 MW was achieved during the 2024/2025 demand response season, with shortfalls attributed to fewer direct load controller installations, lower-than-expected battery and EV device enrolment, and participant opt-outs in the BNI sector (Board Letter, pp. 1–2).
- The Regulatory Oversight Board, reviewed by Members Jennifer L. Nicholson and Darlene Willcott, accepted the report as filed and directed interested parties to raise any concerns with E1 first before escalating to the Board (Board Letter, p. 2).
