is a more complex approach to start up, but we believe once we're done with it, from our experience, it has paid off and has performed the way we would anticipate the design would deliver the benefit. [Sound File, October 22,2010,50:54 - 5...

AI summary The Board acknowledges NSPI's approach to the Tufts Cove 6 Waste Heat Recovery Project, noting that while the initial engineering design was complex, it ultimately proved effective. However, the Board emphasizes the need for more detailed preliminary engineering, especially for new technologies. NSPI's economic analyses for the project were based on assumptions from the 2007 Integrated Resource Plan.

Request IR-2: Reference project economic analysis. - a. Please confirm, or state why NSPI cannot confirm, that the project economic analysis used for NSPI submissions in September 2007, May 2008, and the present ATO application all use the...

AI summary Request IR-2 seeks confirmation from NSPI regarding consistency in assumptions across multiple project economic analyses (2007, 2008, and current ATO application), specifically fuel costs and operating costs, and requests an updated analysis incorporating latest inputs and Hatch benefits.

AI summary The Board acknowledges NSPI's efforts in managing the design and implementation of a new project, despite challenges in preliminary engineering. While NSPI's actions were deemed prudent, the Board emphasizes the need for more detailed engineering in future projects, especially those involving new technologies. The economic analyses used consistent assumptions from the 2007 Integrated Resource Plan.
