AI summary The document discusses an interconnection request (IR) related to a hybrid heating program study, including the scope of work and its purpose to assess the program's potential to ease winter peak demand as clean energy generation and electrification expand. NS Power provided input into the scope of work.

NON-CONFIDENTIAL 1 Request IR-1: 2 3 For the years 2024, 2030 and 2035, please share the total installed generation capacity, and 4 hourly supply-mix, on the: i) winter peak day, and the day prior and following; and on the 5 ii) day of the...

AI summary The request (IR-1) asks for generation capacity and supply-mix data for 2024, 2030, and 2035, including renewable curtailment and demand-side measures. The response notes the Evergreen IRP Model did not model exports, cites the 2023 Load Forecast Report for DSM values, and attributes incomplete data to a cyber incident affecting NS Power's IT systems. Partial data is provided in Attachment 1 and the NS-NB Reliability Intertie model.

AI summary The document discusses the status of the Hybrid Heating study and the Effective Load Carrying Capability (ELCC) study. Net Zero Atlantic is conducting a jurisdictional scan and preparing a customer survey for the Hybrid Heating program, with results expected in Q1 2026. NS Power has completed the scope of work for the ELCC study and is seeking a consultant to finalize the study, though no timeline for the final report has been determined.

AI summary The document outlines a request for information regarding the extent of new modeling conducted by NSP in support of an IRP Action Plan and Roadmap update, including how modeling results were used, whether new modeling was conducted post-Clean Electricity Regulations, and whether the update incorporates recent load forecasts and DSM plans.

1 Request IR-1: Reference: Extent of new modeling in support of Action Plan update. - 2 a. State whether NSP conducted any new capacity expansion or production cost 3 modeling as part of this IRP Action Plan and Roadmap update. - i. If yes...

AI summary The document requests information on NSP's new modeling for the IRP Action Plan update, including capacity expansion, production cost modeling, compliance with Clean Electricity Regulations, use of recent load forecasts and DSM Plan, and reference to Matter M12217.

2.BACKGROUND On April 30, 2025, NSPI filed its 2025 Evergreen IRP Action Plan and Roadmap Update. In this update, NSPI provided an update on electricity planning environment changes, an update on the Action Plan and Roadmap items to date,...

AI summary NSPI filed its 2025 Evergreen IRP Action Plan Update, referencing the Path to 2030 document and relying on prior modeling. The update includes resource pathway planning, electrification strategies, wind procurement, battery storage, and demand response. Resource trajectories are updated based on load forecasts from 2022–2025, with no new capacity modeling conducted.

030 (600 MW, 650 MW, and one accelerated electrification scenario with 900 MW). - d. Develop procurement plan for incremental renewable energy resources, targeting approximately 1000 MW by 2030. 14 The Electrification Report was published...

AI summary NS Power's 2023 Evergreen IRP outlines targets for renewable energy procurement (1000 MW by 2030), coal-to-gas conversions, battery storage (100 MW by 2030), and demand response programs (75 MW by 2025). It also addresses synchronous condenser development and DSM avoided cost updates. The Reliability Tie transmission project (Matter M12217) is highlighted as a key initiative.

5.RECOMMENDATIONS Synapse remains concerned that NSPI has stated in various documents that it expects to have 600 MW of CT capacity by 2030 but has not shown this as an outcome of the IRP or the IRP updates. Enough has changed since NSPI c...

AI summary Synapse expresses concern that NSPI's claim of 600 MW CT capacity by 2030 lacks IRP alignment. Recommendations emphasize updating the Evergreen IRP with new data, evaluating resource options, and carefully assessing CT capacity economics. Scenarios must consider Mersey rehabilitation costs and regional coordination with New Brunswick Power.

AI summary The text emphasizes the potential of innovative, cost-effective demand-side and customer-led solutions. It is a submission from the SNS Board of Directors, highlighting the importance of these solutions in the regulatory proceeding. The DERIR workshop is referenced as part of the context.

es online or planned for 2030 (compared to the preferred plan of the 2023 Evergreen IRP), and the ability of obtaining additional firm import capacity through New Brunswick by the 2029/2030 period. … NSPI did not update any production cost...

AI summary NSPI's Action Plan Update lacks updated production cost modeling, recent load forecasts, and DSM assumptions. It relies on the 2024 Path to 2030 report without comparing its resource plan to the 2023 IRP. Critics, including Synapse and the Small Business Advocate, highlight these omissions as significant flaws.
