NSEB Board Staff issued three Information Requests to EfficiencyOne regarding anomalies in the 2026 Q1 DSM Report forecast for energy savings and program spending
AI summary
- Board Staff (IR-1) asked Efficiencyone to explain why forecast energy savings for the Efficient Product Installation Epi program dropped from the approved 10.5 GWh to 5.7 GWh even as forecasted investment exceeded the approved budget.
- IR-2 probes a significant upward revision in the Home Energy Assessment program's forecast savings — from 3.8 GWh to 16.3 GWh — with no corresponding change in program budget, raising questions about the underlying assumptions.
- IR-3 scrutinizes the Residential Programs pause caused by EfficiencyOne's inability to collect data from NS Power, noting that $1.2 million in spending is still forecast against a $2.1 million budget despite zero attributed energy savings.
- Board Staff also asked whether NS Power's restoration of customer information access has resolved the data-collection barrier and whether EfficiencyOne intends to restart the paused Residential Program, and if so, on what timeline.
- Responses to all three IRs are due August 21, 2026, with one searchable PDF copy required, as issued by Clerk Crystal Henwood on July 30, 2026.
