AI summary The SBA criticizes NSPI's Load Forecast Report for insufficiently explaining how SONS Project data influenced EV load and peak contributions. It also argues electrification forecasts rely on emissions targets rather than current incentives, risking overestimation of 605 GWh load and 267 MW peak demand by 2030.

AI summary The SBA highlights gaps in Nova Scotia's understanding of consumer interventions needed for electrification, stressing the need for historical data from the SONS Project, real-world adoption rates, and uncertainty evaluations in load forecasts. It acknowledges electrification's impact on system requirements but emphasizes data refinement for accurate planning.

AI summary The SBA highlights uncertainty in NSPI's planning for electrification load increases, noting that transportation electrification growth could offset DSM plan savings. It recommends clarifying SGNS data's role in load forecasting and evaluating incentive structures' impact on EV adoption. Using smoothed adoption rates may lead to insufficient incentives for electrification.
