RESPONSE TO INFORMATION REQUEST TO: NSUARB FROM: NSPI Question IR-25: - (a) Please provide a detailed description of NSPI's forecasting and planning models referenced to in Item No. 10 of Attachment A. - (b) Also, provide the type of data...

AI summary NSPI responds to an information request by NSUARB regarding forecasting and planning models used by NSPI. The models referenced are PROSCREEN, a utility planning tool, and NSPI's internal financial models. PROSCREEN is used to assess cost-minimization options, while the financial model calculates revenue, costs, and income tax impacts.
