2. SUMMARY OF VEIC METHODOLOGY AND RESULTS As requested in EfficiencyOne's initial Scope of Work, VEIC's general approach in recommending NEB values at a measure-level was to look to other jurisdictions who had heavily invested in primary...

AI summary VEIC selected Massachusetts as the source jurisdiction for NEB values due to its comprehensive research, mapping measures to NS's 2016-2018 DSM Resource Plan, and adjusting values based on factors. Maryland and Rhode Island also relied on Massachusetts research. EfficiencyOne's portfolio still uses these measures.

1 To allow the work performed to remain relevant to NS, both EfficiencyOne and 2 VEIC recommend that the values described in the VEIC Report (specifically 3 Appendix C) form a "living document". 4 5 Specifically, EfficiencyOne plans to und...

AI summary EfficiencyOne seeks the UARB's approval to use specific values from the VEIC Report for future CE testing and to implement annual NEB values on a per-first-year kWh basis for the BNI sector. They also request approval for an ongoing management and update strategy and to base future Low Income NEB estimates on a 2016 Massachusetts study.

Summary of ENS's Position Cont. - ENS, as part of its regulatory submission regarding NEBs, will request approval to leverage the Mass. Low-Income NEI's Report2, excluding health-care system benefits (socialized in Canada), in future cost-...

AI summary ENS seeks approval to use the Mass. Low-Income NEI's Report2 (excluding Canadian healthcare benefits) in future cost-effectiveness testing for low-income programs, pending UARB acceptance. This approach will be applied during the next DSM Resource Plan evaluation.
