AI summary NSPI has completed its 2020 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) with annual action plan updates, targeting 75 MW of demand response (DR) capacity by 2035. The plan includes DR programs such as smart thermostats, EV chargers, and battery energy storage systems (BESS), as well as time-varying rate (TVR) programs like TOU, CPP, and TOD rates. NSPI has also implemented AMI and piloted DERMs through SGNS, and established a utility-owned community solar garden in Amherst.
