wer’s control. Continued progress and additional work are required to more accurately forecast the deployment and effects of DERs and BTM solar and battery storage in the load forecasting process. 3. The interaction between three factors:...

AI summary The text critiques the 2025 Load Forecast Report for underestimating the impact of BTM solar and battery storage interactions on net-load profiles. It argues that the assumed 930 MW BTM solar deployment by 2035 lacks battery storage/curtailment, which could optimize integration. Current incentives like Canada Greener Homes Loan and SolarHomes may not persist, affecting deployment assumptions.

ery storage and/or curtailment and/or new approaches to the grid integration of DERs would optimize the integration of this level of solar in 2035. (And this has effects on load forecasting). 5. It is our perspective that the assumed scale...

AI summary The text argues that current assumptions about BTM battery storage deployment are too low, impacting load forecasting and solar integration by 2035. It also references the closure of the SolarHomes program and its implications for residential solar incentives.
