AI summary The text discusses the composition of revenue requirements, highlighting that a majority of costs come from fixed and variable operating costs, fuel costs, and Maritime Link Surplus and New Brunswick net imports purchase costs as modeled in Plexos. Maritime Link costs are estimated to account for 14-16% of the total NPVRR and are based on the Maritime Link Interim Cost Assessment case.

AI summary The document discusses modeling of surplus energy flows over the Maritime Link using Plexos and the inclusion of these costs in interchange purchase costs. It also outlines the method used to estimate sustaining capital costs based on NSPI's 2017 report and how these costs are adjusted in scenarios involving unit retirements. Additionally, it covers reference and medium DSM load scenarios and their impact on energy requirements and cost estimates.

AI summary The text discusses the cost-sharing arrangement for interconnection reinforcement to New Brunswick, estimating first-year DSM costs for 2017 and new build costs for various energy resources. It references modeling by Synapse Energy Economics, Inc. and the use of Plexos for unit commitment and dispatch costs.

AI summary The report discusses the correction of a post-processing error in the Draft Report and technical conference slides, which led to an overestimation of DSM costs and NPVRR costs for scenarios with increased wind levels. The correction lowers the NPVRR for these scenarios, but does not affect build/retirement decisions. References are made to Efficiency One's letters regarding Navigant report estimates.
