AI summary
- Natural Forces expressed support for the IRP Draft ToR's inclusion of flexibility objectives and alignment with the Sustainable Development Goals Act, but urged that affordability commitments be framed explicitly in long-term terms.
- The company criticized NS Power's primary IRP decision criterion — minimizing cumulative present value of annual revenue requirements — arguing that greenhouse gas emissions reduction should be elevated to a co-equal criterion rather than treated as a secondary consideration.
- Natural Forces supported examination of coal unit replacement scenarios by both 2030 and 2040, and earlier where possible.
- The company called for the ToR to explicitly define stakeholder review periods and ensure review timelines are proportionate to the volume of materials provided.
