Electrification Strategy Pilots and Programs E3's jurisdictional scan has also identified utility programs and activities that are typically well supported by economics and/or stakeholders: - Rebate programs targeted at Light Duty Vehicles...

AI summary The document outlines electrification strategy pilots and programs, emphasizing rebate programs for Light Duty Vehicles (LDVs), charging infrastructure in underserved areas, public fast charging, EV-ready construction, all-electric new buildings, time-of-use rates, grid-interactive programs, workplace charging incentives, and EV education. These initiatives aim to address gaps in private market funding, reduce costs, and promote EV adoption.

Treatment of Carbon Pricing - E1 believes the effects of carbon pricing remain relevant in the context of the 2022 Evergreen - IRP Process. In the IRP Action Plan update, NS Power states: - NS Power is currently modeling multiple options f...

AI summary E1 emphasizes the need to incorporate diverse carbon pricing options in the 2022 Evergreen IRP Process, noting NS Power's modeling of GHG compliance scenarios. E1 recommends treating demand response as firm capacity, including electrification costs in IRP modeling, updating load forecasts, and pairing DSM scenarios with IRP sensitivities to address environmental policy and electrification impacts.

Attachment 2 NS Power Responses to Stakeholder Comments Theme Stakeholder Comment NS Power Response Evergreen Scenarios, Assumptions and Sensitivities E1 2022 Load Forecast: E1's understanding is that the 2022 NS Power Load Forecast deviat...

AI summary E1 notes a significant deviation between the 2022 and 2019 NS Power load forecasts and recommends incorporating the 2022 forecast into the Evergreen 2022 update. NS Power agrees to use the 2022 Load Forecast Report for its assumptions.

Incremental Annual Load Growth from Building Electrification Incremental Non-Coincident Building Peak Demand Forecast The Stock Rollover charts at left demonstrate the breakdown of heating sources by building electrification scenario. The...

AI summary The document analyzes load growth and peak demand impacts under different building electrification scenarios. High-performance heat pumps in the best-in-class scenario reduce annual load growth, while dual-fuel scenarios use backup fuel during cold periods to mitigate peak load increases.

EV Load Impacts with Managed Charging E3 developed a modelthatsimulates driving and charging of thousands of EV drivers - The driving patterns provide an indication of the load impacts as a result of charging patterns - It also providesins...

AI summary E3's model simulates EV charging impacts, showing that Time of Use (TOU) reduces typical peak loads but creates incidental peaks during off-peak periods. Vehicle Grid Integration (VGI) is necessary to mitigate increased electrification impacts from EV charging patterns.

ITEM 6: ELECTRIFICATION & LOAD GROWTH Continue to monitor electrification and load growth in Nova Scotia relative to the 2022 and 2023 Load Forecast reports which incorporate electrification impacts. Also, monitor for the addition of large...

AI summary The proceeding emphasizes the need to monitor electrification and load growth in Nova Scotia, referencing the 2022 and 2023 Load Forecast reports. It also highlights the potential impact of new large industrial customers on resource requirements.
