EfficiencyOne and Nova Scotia Power file joint update announcing amended agreement on CEM platform ownership and EM&V responsibilities under the 2023–2025 DSM Plan
AI summary
- Efficiencyone and Nova Scotia Power submitted coordinated letters to the Board on December 19, 2024, presenting a revised agreement on the shared use of the NS Power Demand Side Management Bidgely platform and the division of Performance Monitoring (EM&V) responsibilities for the Customer Energy Management (CEM) module.
- Under the amended agreement, NS Power retains ownership and EM&V reporting for core CEM functions (e.g., bill-cycle summaries, usage alerts, disaggregation), while EOne assumes editorial control of the 'Recommendations Tab' and ownership of the new 'Efficiency Insights Tab' and Home Energy Reports — without claiming energy savings from those functions due to tracking limitations.
- EOne will continue to operate its behavioural program through the Bidgely platform and report associated energy savings via annual evaluation and verification reports, while both parties have agreed to cross-check results to prevent double-counting of attributed savings.
- The amended agreement responds directly to the Board's September 11, 2024 direction in M11647, which withheld approval of the earlier arrangement pending full alignment between the parties and emphasized the need to avoid duplication of program costs and savings.
- Both parties assert the revised structure better delineates responsibilities, reduces customer confusion from conflicting recommendations, and serves ratepayer interests; NS Power explicitly supports EOne's request for Board approval of the amended terms.
