NSPI files 2026 Load Forecast Report with NSEB as IESO Nova Scotia assumes responsibility for future 10-Year System Outlook reporting.
AI summary
- Nova Scotia Power Inc. (NSPI) submitted its 2026 Load Forecast Report to the NSEB under Matter M12861, fulfilling the annual Market Rules requirement to file a 10-year energy and demand forecast by end of April.
- A companion letter from Ieso Nova Scotia Director of Regulatory Affairs confirms that, for 2026, NSPI will develop and submit the Load Forecast report while sharing underlying data with the IESO to support its system planning mandate, avoiding duplication of effort.
- The IESO has formally assumed responsibility for the 10-Year System Outlook (10YSO) report going forward, with relevant staff and expertise transferred from NSPI; NSPI will no longer develop or submit the 10YSO.
- Supporting Excel attachments (section map only) include detailed modelling inputs covering equipment categories such as heat pumps and electric furnaces, end-use classifications, annual energy use indices from 1995–2036, and structural/housing variables — indicating a bottom-up Forecasting Methodology approach.
- The full text of the 2026 Load Forecast Report (redacted public version and confidential version) was too large to read in full; two confidential attachments are restricted pending execution of a Confidentiality Agreement with the NSEB.
