Coal Phase Out - Coal generation is phased out by 2030. As new resources are added to the system, coal unit output reduces. Coal units are retained for firm capacity as late as the model allows with retirements and/or fuel switching occurr...

AI summary Nova Scotia plans to phase out coal by 2030, retaining coal units for firm capacity until retirements or fuel switching. Lingan units operate on heavy fuel oil (HFO) for reliability and low cost, functioning as capacity assets. Coal-to-gas (C2G) conversion at Point Tupper is economically viable in most scenarios.

that correctly iden�fying the need for capacity is paramount for all subsequent IRP runs. The study should also ask whether energy to meet those peak demands should be stored in a batery, a tank, a lake or in a regionally linked, diversifi...

AI summary The text emphasizes the importance of correctly identifying capacity needs for Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) runs. It also suggests evaluating energy storage options for meeting peak demands and considering customer behavior changes related to heat pumps and decarbonization policies.
