AI summary NSPI explains that the average PHP demand used in the Application is 65 MW, derived from 2022 and 2023 data, but actual values in the N-1 excel workpaper are higher due to line losses. The demand fluctuations are managed by the Dispatchable Rider, and the 65 MW figure ensures predictable cost recovery. An outlier event in February 2023 highlights PHP's curtailable service and the impact of dispatch decisions.

AI summary Brubaker & Associates argue that interruptible demand will not require a capacity charge as it is served on an as-available basis, and that NS Power can recover costs through the ELID energy charge. PHP's firm demand contributes 8 MW to NS Power's peak demand, and any demand above this will be covered by the ELID energy rate without an interruptible credit.
