3.3 Issues With The Proposed IR - The ELID proposes that in addition to the DR control that NSP has over PHP's load, PHP will also be provided - with a separate credit for being interruptible at times of system constraints. This credit is...

AI summary The proposed ELID plan's interruptibility credit for PHP is challenged due to evidence that PHP's load is already dispatched down by NSP under existing DR mechanisms, rendering interruptions redundant. NSP's data shows no interruptions for PHP since 2020, as load reductions occur preemptively during capacity scarcity.

avoided peaker cost used in determining the proposed $7.661/kVA monthly credit for both Large Industrial Interruptible and for ELID is out of date and undervalues the benefit of interruptible load. 1. Please indicate whether NSPI considers...

AI summary The document raises concerns about the outdated nature of the $7.661/kVA monthly credit for Large Industrial Interruptible and ELID customers, suggesting it undervalues interruptible load benefits.
