Page 38 Nova Scotia Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Potential Study for 2021-2045 5. ENERGY EFFICIENCY ECONOMIC POTENTIAL RESULTS This section describes the economic savings potential, which is potential that meets a prescribed level...

AI summary This section discusses the calculation of economic potential for energy efficiency in Nova Scotia, focusing on measures that meet a cost-effectiveness threshold of TRC 1.0. It explains how economic potential is derived from technical potential by including only cost-effective measures.

ector and end use, the model bounds the actual incentive provided to each measure to be at least 10% of the incremental measure cost, and to not exceed more than 100% of the incremental measure cost. 6.6 Re-Participation The model assumes...

AI summary The model sets bounds on incentives for energy efficiency measures, ensuring they are at least 10% and no more than 100% of the incremental measure cost. It also assumes 85% of participants re-adopt efficient measures after their useful life, with specific handling for behavior measures like home energy reports, which require ongoing administration and incur repeated incentive costs.

4. Calculating the split (percentage) in spending between incentives and variable administrative costs predicted by the model to historic values. 5. Calculating total spending by sector and end use and comparing the resulting values to his...

AI summary The text outlines steps for analyzing spending splits between incentives and administrative costs, comparing total spending by sector and end use with historical data, and evaluating portfolio-level costs. It also discusses the importance of setting appropriate incentive levels in potential studies using Navigant’s DSMSimTM model.

AI summary The text outlines key metrics and considerations for demand response (DR) programs, including participation forecasts, customer load impacts, attrition assumptions, and cost-benefit analyses. It emphasizes the importance of evaluating technology costs, incentive levels, and avoided energy and demand costs in different market segments for Nova Scotia.

AI summary The text discusses the analysis of demand response (DR) potential, distinguishing between maximum and realistic achievable potential based on incentives, marketing efforts, and real-world constraints. It emphasizes the use of potential savings and levelized cost data to construct supply curves.

AI summary The document outlines various incentive programs aimed at promoting energy efficiency and demand response. It details program costs, participant numbers, and peak shaving potential for water heater controllers, EV supply equipment, and residential battery installations. These programs are designed to reduce peak demand and manage energy usage effectively.

AI summary The report emphasizes the need for infrastructure and strategies to achieve decarbonization targets, highlighting building electrification's dependence on cost reductions and incentives. It notes the importance of cold climate heat pumps, their high upfront costs, and the need for government or NSPI support. Peak electricity demand impacts from electric heating and an alternative low-carbon biofuels scenario are also discussed.

AI summary The text outlines various incentive scenarios for energy efficiency and demand-side management programs, detailing potential participation numbers, costs, and peak shaving capacities. Each scenario includes specific incentives, program costs, and cumulative participant numbers over 25 years.
