EfficiencyOne filed responses to three NSEB information requests on its 2026 Q1 DSM Report, explaining diverging program performance across the Efficient Product Installation, Home Energy Assessment, and Residential Behaviour programs
AI summary
- Efficient Product Installation Epi forecast savings fell sharply from 10.5 GWh to 5.7 GWh despite spending rising from $5.3M to $5.9M, driven by higher electrician-installed delivery costs (~$350/home fixed fee), loss of cost-sharing with Eco Shift following its enrollment pause, a shift in measure mix, and revised 2025 evaluation results reducing net-to-gross ratios (IR-01)
- Home Energy Assessment forecast savings surged from 3.8 GWh to 16.3 GWh with budget essentially flat at ~$4.9M, primarily due to an end-of-deadline rush by participants in the federal Greener Homes Grant (CGHG, deadline March 31, 2026) and Canada Greener Homes Loan (CGHL, deadline September 30, 2026) programs that were not fully anticipated when the 2026 Extension was developed (IR-02)
- Residential Behaviour remains paused with $1.2M in continuing expenditures against a $2.1M budget and no forecast energy savings, as ongoing contractual obligations—including upfront annual service and treatment fees—require payment even without program delivery (IR-03a/b)
- Ns Power's Monthly Update Report #11 (M12273, August 13, 2026) indicates My Energy Insights data restoration is forecast by end of Q3 2026, but E1 confirmed it does not plan to resume Residential Behaviour in 2026, noting the proposed 2027-2031 Demand Side Management Preferred Resource Plan does not include the program (IR-03c)
