APPENDIX A – IRP SCORECARD Least Cost (80%) – Measured as the cumulative total 25-year Net Present Value (NPV) of the modelled capacity expansion and production costs plus end effects. The resource plan with the lowest total NPV, including...

AI summary The document outlines the scoring criteria for the Integrated Resource Plan (IRP), evaluating four key areas: Least Cost (based on NPV), GHG Reduction (emissions), Technology Risk (reliance on emerging tech), and Economic Growth (job creation). Each criterion is scored proportionally to its weight (80%, 10%, 5%, 5%).

APPENDIX A – DRAFT IRP SCORECARD Least Cost (8070%) – Measured as the cumulative total 25-year Net Present Value (NPV) of the modelled capacity expansion and production costs plus end effects. The resource plan with the lowest total NPV, i...

AI summary The draft IRP scorecard evaluates resource plans using four criteria: Least Cost (NPV of costs), GHG Reduction (emissions), Technology Risk (reliance on unproven tech like SMRs), and Economic Growth (job creation). Scores are normalized against optimal benchmarks for each category.

APRIL 17 STAKEHOLDER SESSION QUESTIONS Question/Comment Response Stakeholders need sufficient information about immediate and long term effects of energy decisions such as gas peaker plants – cost is only one consideration. Impacts on wate...

AI summary Stakeholders requested more information on the immediate and long-term impacts of energy decisions, including gas peaker plants, emphasizing health and water considerations. The response noted that health and health equity are influenced by provincial and federal regulations limiting emissions and that new projects must adhere to environmental policies.

10. Evaluation criteria The ToR proposes to plan future resource portfolios based on cost (70%) and other non-cost factors (30%).[20](#page-59-0) We recommend the IESO reconsider this weighting to more heavily weigh cost, particularly wher...

AI summary The ToR proposes a 70% cost and 30% non-cost weighting for resource portfolio planning. The IESO is advised to prioritize cost further, noting that GHG reduction can be addressed via OBPS carbon intensity allowances, while technology risk and economic growth metrics face implementation challenges. Non-cost criteria weights should be reconsidered.

of potential outcomes. The Board reminds the IESO-NS of the requirement to fully address the following IRP directive stated in the M12412 Decision (Revenue Requirement for year ending March 31, 2026): To explicitly include modeling scenari...

AI summary The Board reminds IESO-NS to address an IRP directive requiring modeling scenarios for enhanced regional system integration with New Brunswick. The IRP will prioritize least-cost planning (80%) while incorporating GHG reduction (10%), technology risk (5%), and economic growth (5%) into a scorecard. The process includes stakeholder engagement and a final report by 2026.
