BACKGROUND As laid out in Nova Scotia's recently released Renewable Electricity Plan, NSPI is required to increase the percentage of energy provided from renewable sources to 25% by 2015 with a goal of 40% by 2020. Wind generation has sign...
AI summary Nova Scotia Power Inc. (NSPI) is required to increase renewable energy production to 25% by 2015 and 40% by 2020. To address the intermittency of wind energy, NSPI and NB Power collaborated on a load control demonstration project, supported by the federal Clean Energy Fund (CEF). The project, valued at $32 million, aims to integrate intermittent renewable energy sources on the grid.
Why do this project now? NSPI is required to increase the percentage of energy provided from renewable sources to 25% by 2015 with a goal of 40% by 2020. Wind generation has been identified as a significant contributor to meeting these cha...
AI summary NSPI is required to increase renewable energy to 25% by 2015 and 40% by 2020. Wind generation is a key solution, and load control technology is being considered. Government funding, including a 50% contribution from NRCAN via the Clean Energy Fund up to $15.9M, supports the project's demonstration.
WHEREAS: - A. The Parties are proposing an innovative technology cluster to provide fast ancillary services for wind integration, by controlling cOlmnercial and residential loads, as outlined in the proposal entitled the "Maritime Province...
AI summary The Parties are proposing a technology cluster to provide fast ancillary services for wind integration by controlling commercial and residential loads, as outlined in the 'Maritime Provinces Customer Load Control for Wind Energy Integration Demonstration Project.' The proposal was submitted to the federal Minister of Natural Resources for funding under the Clean Energy Fund, and a federal contribution agreement has been entered into with NB Power.
16. SUBCONTRACTS 16.1 The Parties acknowledge that NB Power is compelled to abide by the subcontracting provisions in the Federal Contribution Agreement and that it shall be responsible for obtaining any ministerial consent that is require...
AI summary The Parties agree that NB Power must comply with subcontracting provisions in the Federal Contribution Agreement and obtain ministerial consent for any subcontracting above $1,000,000. NB Power will assist in obtaining such consent.
It is important the project be completed in next five years to have a significant positive impact on the environment, to avoid costly supply-side ancillary service options and to improve the overall system reliability and coordination nece...
