AI summary The Program Components section outlines two initiatives: Appliance Retirement, which retired inefficient household appliances until January 2025, and Instant Savings, providing point-of-sale rebates for energy-efficient products. Appliance Retirement also coordinated with the Affordable Single-family Homes and Mi'kmaw Home Energy Efficiency Project programs.
Instant Savings Highlights - Stronger-than-expected results in Q1 (which included some November and December 2024 sales of lighting, outdoor heavy-duty timers, and smart thermostats), and in the early part of Q2, led to a review of planned...
AI summary E1 has adjusted the Instant Savings program for 2025, removing eligibility for certain products to stay within the $173 million investment limit for the 2023-2025 DSM Plan. Heat pump water heaters and other products remain eligible. Appliance replacement savings are covered under the Affordable Single-family Homes and Mi'kmaw Home Energy Efficiency Project, with funding from the Province of Nova Scotia.
