AI summary

The filing (May 30, 2018) comprises EfficiencyOne's responses to information requests from the NSUARB, Synapse, the Consumer Advocate, and the Small Business Advocate in Matter M08604 covering EfficiencyOne's 2019 Demand Side Management Resource Plan, 2017 Annual Progress Report, and 2017 Evaluation Reports.
Attachment 1 to SBA IR-11 (fully read) is a large measure-level spreadsheet for the BNI Efficient Product Rebates program, listing TRC, PAC, and RIM ratios, energy savings, peak demand savings, and incentive amounts for hundreds of commercial and residential measures across plan years 2016–2018; many LED lighting, commercial refrigeration, HVAC, and heat-pump measures show TRC ratios well above 1.0, while some (e.g., ground-source heat pumps, solar DHW, select LED retrofit end-of-life measures) show TRC ratios below 1.0.
On Demand Response Load Control, EfficiencyOne confirmed a $1.0M budget for Demand Side Management demand reduction pilots in 2019, acknowledged pilots would not be fully operational until December 2019, and identified NS Power's peak period as 5–7 PM on non-holiday weekdays in December–February; NSPI separately described five years of peak-reduction work including the Power Shift Atlantic pilot, the Intelligent Feeder battery storage project, a Locational DSM study (M07815), and the Large Industrial Interruptible Pilot.
NSPI requested that SBA IR-2 Attachment 1 be held confidential because it contains customer-specific data discernible from small customer-class sizes, consistent with treatment in prior FAM filings; a confidentiality undertaking was filed for Board approval.
The largest program sections visible in the spreadsheet cover BNI Efficient Product Rebates (commercial), Direct Installation / Business Energy Solutions (including heat pumps and ground-source heat pumps), Custom Incentives (commercial and industrial, including new construction whole-building measures), Residential Efficient Product Rebates (appliance retirement and instant savings), Existing Residential (direct install, green heating, solar), and New Residential (EnerGuide-rated new home construction tiers 83–88+).
