AI summary The document outlines Ontario's Demand Side Management (DSM) framework, mandated by the 2013 Long-Term Energy Plan and a 2014 Ministerial directive. The Ontario Energy Board (OEB) developed this framework to align natural gas DSM with electricity conservation efforts, establish cost-effective principles, and ensure program evaluation. Utilities like Union Gas and Enbridge must submit DSM plans for OEB approval, with mid-term reviews and evaluations starting in 2016.

AI summary Nova Scotia uses the Energy Efficiency Resource Assessment Model (EERAM) for long-term energy savings planning and excludes administration costs in measure-level testing. Avoided costs are updated every three to four years and are currently set at $0/kW for capacity savings until 2019. This methodology differs from other jurisdictions as conservation activity competes with the lowest cost of supply, and measures can only claim avoided energy costs until 2020.
