AI summary
- EfficiencyOne reported Q1 2026 results of 29.8 GWh of net incremental energy savings, 5.3 MW of net peak demand savings, 15.7 MW of available demand response capacity, and $14.2 million in expenditures against the approved 2026 DSM Extension budget of $63.75 million (Table 2, p. 5).
- The 2026 mid-course adjustment (MCA) projects full-plan compliance across all four 2023-2026 DSM Plan performance targets cumulatively, forecasting 543.4 GWh of energy savings (103% of target) and 15.7 MW of available capacity (96% of the 16.3 MW target) (Table 1, p. 2).
- The Residential Behaviour program component remains indefinitely paused due to the unavailability of NS Power customer data following a 2025 cybersecurity incident; E1 has assumed zero energy savings from this component in 2026, reducing Existing Residential's MCA energy savings from 35.2 GWh (Plan) to 26.9 GWh and elevating the residential unit cost from $0.64/kWh to $0.76/kWh (Table 6, p. 13; Table 4, p. 9).
- The 2026 Demand Response season (December 1, 2025 – February 28, 2026) achieved tracked results of 15.7 MW of available capacity, driven primarily by BNI Smart Synergy at 13.0 MW; this meets the 90% compliance threshold for the 2023-2026 plan target, though results are still to be evaluated (Table 10, p. 19; Section 6, p. 19–21).
- E1 filed its 2027-2031 DSM Resource Plan with the NSEB on March 31, 2026 (M12780), a key driver of increased Other Enabling Strategies costs in the MCA; the regulatory proceeding for that plan is described as forthcoming (Section 9, p. 25–28).
