ecalled on two weeks' notice. Over the 2024/2025 winter period the unit was recalled to service four times by the NS Power System Operator to support firm customer load, generating a total of 128 GWh. In its 2024 and 2025 10-Year System Ou...

AI summary The document discusses the recall of the Lingan Unit 2 (LIN2) by NS Power to support winter firm load during the 2024/2025 and 2025/2026 winter periods. NS Power plans to keep LIN2 in cold reserve until new fast-acting generation resources are online. The IESO Nova Scotia also stated that LIN2 and Trenton 5 can only be retired once these new resources are in service and operating reliably.

Request IR-1: - a) What is the current rated capacity (in MW) of the LIN2 generating unit? - b) Please provide an estimate of the power generation from this unit for 2026 to 2030. - c) Please extend the table requested by Board staff in IR...

AI summary LIN2 has been recalled multiple times during the 2024/2025 winter to support firm customer load, generating significant energy. NS Power states that LIN2 will remain in cold reserve until new fast-acting generation resources are online. The IESO Nova Scotia report (M12916) supports this, noting that LIN2 and Trenton 5 cannot be retired until reliable replacements are in service. NS Power also explains that battery energy storage and other resources are insufficient to replace LIN2's capacity due to increasing demand.
