Envigour Policy Consulting (for QUEST and Marine Renewables Canada) and the Small Business Advocate filed comments on NSPI's Draft IRP Terms of Reference
AI summary
- Envigour Policy Consulting, representing Quest and Marine Renewables Canada, submitted comments (Exhibit N-6) generally supporting the Draft Integrated Resource Plan IRP Terms of Reference but urging greater detail on technology cost uncertainty across a 25-year planning horizon.
- Envigour recommended that the IRP explicitly model price thresholds at which emerging technologies — including offshore wind, tidal, solar PV, Energy Storage, renewable natural gas, hydrogen, and Demand Side Management — become economic for ratepayers, rather than leaving this implicit in 'signpost' monitoring.
- The filing argues that explicit economic modeling would also illuminate system value attributes such as capacity, predictability, scalability, and peak-shaving flexibility for each resource type.
- The Small Business Advocate (Exhibit 80049) confirmed it had previously provided comments to NSPI that were acknowledged in NSPI's December 16, 2019 filing, and indicated it has no further comments on the Draft Terms of Reference.
