EfficiencyOne files 2019 DSM Potential Study covering demand response and energy efficiency potential for Nova Scotia through 2045, to inform the 2020 Integrated Resource Plan.
AI summary
- The filing, submitted August 14, 2019 by The Breton Law Group on behalf of EfficiencyOne, delivers the complete 2019 DSM Potential Study (covering 2021–2045) including energy efficiency and demand response model inputs and outputs, as directed by the UARB in its July 2018 Order in Matter M08604.
- The Study was developed by consultant Navigant through a structured four-round DSMAG stakeholder engagement process running from November 2018 through August 2019, with comment periods, technical conferences, and iterative revisions at each milestone.
- Stakeholder feedback shaped key scope decisions, including expanding the study to cover demand response (with battery storage and EV adoption), disaggregating results for low-income Nova Scotians, and restricting achievable potential scenarios to currently commercially available technologies only.
- The accompanying spreadsheet appendices (Appendices C–G) provide detailed DR and EE model inputs/outputs, covering achievable potential by option and segment, levelized and annual costs, acquisition costs, measure unit incentives, and hourly (8760) load shape disaggregation across 25 study years.
- EfficiencyOne confirmed the study is intended to significantly inform the 2020 IRP process, with avoided costs based on the 2014 IRP avoided cost values and NS Power-supplied transmission and distribution avoided costs from fall 2018.
