AI summary The testimony discusses whether E1 should account for avoided CO2 costs in DSM program evaluations. Alice Napoleon affirms that E1 should incorporate CO2 avoidance, citing Nova Scotia's Environment Act amendments, the Western Climate Initiative, and the Equivalency Agreement's emission limits. Synapse Energy Economics' study supports this, showing energy efficiency reduces system costs and emissions.

was modelled to occur over a timeframe during which the 9 emissions intensity is expected to decline significantly (2019 to 2032, based on the weighted average 10 measure life for the portfolio). 11 The 2019 intensity used by EfficiencyOne...

AI summary EfficiencyOne's 2019 DSM Plan uses 2019 emissions intensity data, aligning with Greenhouse Gas Regulations and assuming NS Power won't exceed caps. Synapse recommends refining GHG estimates by accounting for DSM savings timing and incorporating cap-and-trade compliance benefits into cost-effectiveness analysis, which EfficiencyOne agrees to implement in the 2020–2022 DSM Plan.
