AI summary The text discusses the potential loss of significant load and its reflection in NSPI's avoided costs, referencing Multeese IR-6 and Synapse IR-14. It also requests detailed information on training and associated expenses for capacity building programs for trade allies, specifically from ENSC in 2011 and 2012.

1 Request IR-13: 2 Reference: ENSC Evidence, p.23, lines 4-5, states that "...[C]onservation and energy efficiency [are] a lower-cost alternative to new supply". 5 6 a) What assumptions were made about NSPI's need for new supply? 7 8 b) Wh...

AI summary Request IR-13 asks about assumptions regarding NSPI's need for new supply and its forecast reserve margin from 2012 to 2017. The response directs to a table showing supply-side additions under DSM and No DSM scenarios and provides reserve margin data indicating it met the minimum requirement of 20%.

NON-CONFIDENTIAL 1 Request IR-28: The individual Plans are not separated out by energy and capacity costs. Rather, a portion of the total cost difference between the Plans is attributed to avoided capacity based on the 280 MW natural gas c...

AI summary The text discusses the calculation of avoided capacity costs in the context of energy and capacity planning, referencing a specific natural gas combined cycle unit added in 2022 and the use of the Strategist tool for estimating these costs. A 20% increment is applied for reserve margin requirements.

AI summary The text discusses the impact of assumptions about new capacity additions on capacity cost and long-run levelized cost, noting that NSPI does not anticipate needing new capacity through 2017, with avoided energy costs being the primary consideration. Variability in calculated energy costs from 2012 to 2017 is highlighted.
