AI summary Peak demand in Nova Scotia is defined as the highest hourly average demand in a year, influenced by weather and customer behavior. DSM programs and price signals (e.g., ELI 2P-RTP) have reduced peak demand growth. The 2009/2010 peak was 124 MW lower than 2004 due to conservation and interruptions. Forecasts show a 1.5% annual decline in net system peak by 2021, attributed to DSM and conservation efforts.
