AI summary The text recommends developing a Demand Response Strategy targeting 75 MW of capacity by 2025, linked to the Electrification Strategy. It mentions leveraging existing initiatives like NS Power’s Smart Grid Project, Time Varying Pricing, and the ELIADC tariff. The SBA supports the strategy but suggests further examination of cost potential.

AI summary Bates White recommended that NSPI perform an analysis to determine the value of the PH Biomass Plant to FAM customers, considering its operation without PHP load. NSPI accepted the recommendation and planned to incorporate the analysis into the 2019 IRP. The Board later approved the ELIADC tariff, removing PHP’s explicit access to the biomass plant’s generation.

g term as a part of the integrated system in Nova Scotia.”701 Subsequently, the Board approved the ELIADC tariff, which eliminates PHP’s explicit option to access generation from the biomass plant. 12

AI summary The document discusses the elimination of PHP's explicit option to access generation from the biomass plant through the approved ELIADC tariff, which is part of the integrated system in Nova Scotia.

o NSPI’s firm peak load “and are not included in the firm peak load demand forecast in the IRP;” thus, “these customers do not impact capacity planning requirements in the long-term resource plans.”30 We recognize that the landscape has sh...

AI summary NSPI's firm peak load is excluded from the IRP's demand forecast, impacting capacity planning. The audit considers its recommendation closed due to the defunct LRT and ELIADC Tariff's role in preventing PHP contributions to peak load, though ELIADC's effectiveness remains unproven. A separate recommendation urges NSPI to evaluate full costs and benefits of maintaining its existing generating assets, including environmental and decommissioning factors.

AI summary The text recommends NSPI conduct a standalone analysis to assess the Biomass Plant's value to FAM customers without PHP load, ensuring FAM customers aren't burdened by costs tied to PHP load. It also highlights the need for economic evaluation of NSPI's diesel-fired combustion turbines.

B. Recommendation XIV: Biomass Plant Value Analysis NSPI should perform a standalone analysis to determine the value of the Biomass Plant to FAM customers, looking forward, in the absence of PHP load. Such a study would establish whether a...

AI summary NSPI is recommended to conduct a standalone analysis of the Biomass Plant's value to FAM customers without PHP load, determining if costs are incremental to PHP load and how to shield FAM customers from these costs. The analysis is compared to the ELIADC Tariff, with concerns that FAM customers should not bear costs tied to indefinite PHP load continuation.

3 Biomass Plant General / other Value analysis – Similar to our discussion of PHP's new ELIADC Tariff with NSPI, we understand NSPI's position that under the ELIADC, PHP imposes no inc

AI summary The text references a discussion about the ELIADC Tariff and NSPI's position regarding biomass plant general/other value analysis. It mentions similarities to a prior discussion involving PHP and NSPI.
