AI summary The text discusses the impact of load shape changes on ELCC values for storage and DR resources, urging sensitivity analysis. NS Power agrees to refine capacity studies for IRP portfolios. A request for historical NSPI system load and wind capacity factor data is also made, referencing Figure A-3.

e for the Nova Scotia province, and for commercial subsectors an emissions-weighted downscale of the Atlantic provinces region are used. 4 National Energy Use Database by Natural Resources Canada: http://oee.nrcan.gc.ca/corporate/statistic...

AI summary The text references energy consumption data from Nova Scotia's building sector, citing the National Energy Use Database by Natural Resources Canada and a US Energy Information Administration report. It includes a table from Nova Scotia Power's Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) detailing 2016 building energy consumption by subsector.

Nova Scotia Power IRP Final Report Appendix A Page 27 of 64 Table 2. Representation of 2016 Building Energy Consumption by Subsector in Nova Scotia

AI summary The document references Table 2 from Nova Scotia Power's IRP Final Report, which details 2016 building energy consumption by subsector in Nova Scotia. The table's purpose is to categorize and quantify energy use across different building types.

th as a contingency event. If the AC intertie were in service but at a lower MW level, the results would be at least as good, or indeed better. In summary, in relation to the minimum SIR requirement:  The minimum level of 3,266 MW is not...

AI summary The text discusses the minimum SIR requirement, suggesting it may be overly conservative based on the PSC and IRP studies, and notes that lower import levels on the AC intertie would reduce the SIR requirement. It also highlights significant and prolonged changes in demand projections due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which differ from recovery timelines in other countries.
