Halifax Regional Municipality requests extended comment deadlines in NSPI Integrated Resource Plan proceeding to align with HalifACT 2050 climate commitments
AI summary
- In an August 10, 2020 letter to the Nova Scotia Utility And Review Board, Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) requested a one-to-two week extension to the stakeholder comment deadlines of September 9 and October 13, 2020 set under the Board-approved milestone timeline from July 29, 2020.
- HRM cited its recently adopted Community Energy Emissions Plan — HalifACT 2050 — which targets a low-carbon economy by 2050 through electrification via EVs, Heat Pumps, and small-scale solar, making the Integrated Resource Plan IRP proceeding directly material to municipal planning.
- HRM expressed concern that the existing two-week comment windows for both the Draft Findings/Action Plan and the Draft IRP Report are insufficient for a fulsome review given the long-term implications of the IRP for the Municipality.
- HRM emphasized it does not seek to delay final delivery of the IRP but requires additional flexibility to provide substantive input on grid greening and distribution system capacity in HRM.
