DEMAND RESPONSE (2025) • The BNI Demand Response program component aims to help facilitate more flexible non-residential load by providing customers with economic incentives and/or more visibility and control of their loads. In addition to...

AI summary The BNI Demand Response program aims to enhance non-residential load flexibility through incentives and load control. E1 is exploring new pathways, including standalone battery control and battery-solar PV integration, for BNI customers.

BNI Demand Response Highlights - The BNI Demand Response program component achieved 6.6 MW during the 2024/2025 season (December 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025) through the Commercial and Industrial Aggregator pathway, with those results sti...

AI summary The BNI Demand Response program achieved 6.6 MW during the 2024/2025 season through the Commercial and Industrial Aggregator pathway, but results fell short of the 2025 Plan target. Eight events were called by NS Power, with factors like participant opt-outs and an unfavorable mix of morning and evening events contributing to lower capacity.

BNI Demand Response results The 2023-2025 DSM Plan modelled five BNI Demand Response pathways and E1 focused on implementing one – the Commercial & Industrial Curtailment (Aggregator) – over the past three years, as it represented the vast...

AI summary E1 implemented the Commercial & Industrial Curtailment (Aggregator) pathway under the BNI Demand Response program, exceeding participation targets but falling short on capacity due to event timing, opt-outs, and short notice periods. Four other pathways remain unimplemented but could drive 92% of future participation.

AI summary The 2027-2031 DSM Plan will focus on pathways with the highest growth potential, such as smart thermostats and domestic hot water controllers for residential demand response, and the BNI Demand Response aggregator pathway. The plan will not include previously unmodelled pathways like behavioural demand response. Despite lower participation and capacity performance, investment remains near planned levels due to program cost structures and foundational activities.
