M13053 · EfficiencyOne - 2026 Q2 Demand Side Management (DSM) Report

AI summary

E1's cumulative four-year forecast projects 537.6 GWh of energy savings (102% of the 528.7 GWh target), 99.7 MW of peak demand savings (102% of target), 16.2 MW of available demand response capacity (99.6% of the 16.3 MW target), and 22.6 GWh of affordable/equity program savings (114% of target), per Table 1 of Exhibit E-1
The Residential Behaviour program component has been paused since May 2025 due to unavailability of Advanced Metering Infrastructure data from NS Power following its cybersecurity incident (M12273); with customer data not expected until end of Q3, E1 has decided not to resume the component in 2026 and has begun winding it down — no energy savings and only ~$0.2M in residual costs are forecast for the year
Demand Response achieved 16.2 MW of available capacity for the 2025/2026 season (December 1, 2025 – February 28, 2026), representing significant recovery from 6.8 MW in 2025; BNI Demand Response participants fell from 143 to 98 facilities but available capacity per participant surged from 42 kW to 129 kW as E1 prioritized more active enrollees
Year-to-date expenditures through Q2 are $30.3 million (48% of the $63.75M 2026 Plan), with a revised year-end forecast of $61.1M — slightly below the Plan — reflecting savings from the Residential Behaviour wind-down, partially offset by higher Demand Response incentive costs
E1's Q3 2026 DSM Report is scheduled to be filed with the Nova Scotia Energy Board on November 25, 2026
