page-0-3) Id. , p. 5. [ 3 ](#page-0-5) The filing does menfion an expected filing date of 2024, but ACE plan expected filing dates are rarely reliable indicafions of progress. Id., p. 14. However, it is not clear whether those supplemental...

AI summary The text critiques the reliability of the ACE plan's 2024 filing date and highlights complexities in supplemental heating systems, including customer costs, carbon emissions from backup fuels, and the need for urgent policy solutions like rate design and incentives from NS Power, E1, or the Province.

9.1.2 EV Purchase Incentives There are several upfront purchase incentives that are included for LDV. A federal EV tax credit of $5,000 for BEVs and long-range PHEVs and $2,500 for short-range PHEVs was included. Funding for the federal EV...

AI summary The text discusses EV purchase incentives, including a federal tax credit of $5,000 for BEVs and long-range PHEVs and $2,500 for short-range PHEVs, with Tesla vehicles ineligible. A provincial rebate of $3,000 is also included for LDVs. No incentives are assumed for transit buses or parcel trucks.

Key Findings Utility actions through time of use rates and programsto avoid "rebound peaks" at the beginning of off-peak hours to manage transportation loads will be crucial to minimizing costs and achieving ratepayerbenefits Encouraging a...

AI summary Key strategies include using time-of-use rates and programs to manage transportation load peaks, promoting advanced building technologies to reduce peak loads, and NS Power's electrification efforts via the E3 report and DSM initiatives. Collaboration with E1 and DSMAG on rebates and pilots is emphasized for cost-effective electrification.

4.1 High Distributed Energy Resources (HDER) Scenario - E1 noted that the HDER scenarios, which include significant investment in rooftop solar PV systems, - showed favorable utility NPVRR results. Notably, CE1-E1-R2 HDER stood out with th...

AI summary E1 highlights favorable utility NPVRR results in HDER scenarios, emphasizing customer-sited solar PV's value. NS Power's $3/W solar cost assumption is challenged by E1's lower $2.5/W experience. E1 argues against dismissing HDER scenarios based solely on customer costs, citing unaccounted electrification and hybrid mitigation costs, and recommends further analysis of DERs' full costs/benefits.
