AI summary This appendix provides a forecast of RES (Renewable Electricity Standards) compliance from 2027 to 2030, outlining energy requirements, renewable energy sources, and compliance status. It shows a significant increase in renewable energy production, particularly from wind and solar sources, with a forecasted surplus in 2030.
Request IR – 6 - If the new 450 MW of fast-acting combustion turbines generating capacity is not in service by - 2030, please describe IESO Nova Scotia's specific plan to meet projected system load, as well as - maintain system reliability...
AI summary The request asks IESO Nova Scotia to outline a plan to meet system load and maintain reliability by 2030 if new 450 MW of fast-acting combustion turbines are not in service, while also complying with NS Power's requirements to phase out coal and achieve 80% renewable electricity generation.
NON-CONFIDENTIAL c) The magnitude of the increases in energy production does not correlate with the magnitudes of the capacity additions because energy is a function of both the capacity and time, while capacity is a one-time change. As an...
AI summary The text explains that increases in energy production do not directly correlate with capacity additions due to the time factor in energy generation. The first 36 MW of capacity is expected to come online in late 2026, resulting in a low load impact that year. NSPI did not adjust the load forecast for a 59 MW increase in generating capacity by 2029, so IESO Nova Scotia did not need to modify the load forecast accordingly.
Request IR-3: Please provide a table showing the 10-year Marginal ELCC Percentage for New Wind Additions table.
AI summary The document requests a table showing the 10-year Marginal ELCC Percentage for New Wind Additions, likely related to energy resource planning and generation.
Request IR-8: - Table 3, pdf page 15, of the report identifies additions and retirements over the next 10 years. - Table 4, pdf page 18, of the 10-Year Load and Resource Outlook. - a) Please explain whether the firm capacity values listed...
AI summary The document requests clarification on whether the firm capacity values and additions in Tables 3 and 4 are based on Effective Load Carrying Capacity (ELCC) or nameplate values, and whether ELCC percentages are factored into the 10-year projections.
Request IR-04 Refer to the 2026 Report Section 3 – Existing Generation Resources, pages 7-8. - a. Please provide a comparison table showing the ELCC values from the 2025 Report and the 2026 Report. Provide the average and incremental ELCC...
AI summary The document requests clarification and additional information regarding the 2026 Report's use of Effective Load-Carrying Capacity (ELCC) values, specifically comparing data from the 2025 and 2026 reports, the basis of ELCC assumptions, and the reconciliation of ELCC values for wind resources at different penetration levels.
