585 Q4 2024 FAM Report, Q6; Q4 2025 FAM Report, Q6. The sources—and costs—of this third-party power vary. NSPI reports its third-party power purchases in five categories: a. Imports: Imported energy is energy that originates from neighbori...
AI summary The document outlines NSPI's third-party power purchases, categorized into imports, and explains the sources and purposes of these imports, including economic, reliability, and contractual reasons. It references data from NSPI's FAM Quarterly Reports.
Figure XII-8: NSPI's Short-Term Imported Power Volume630 Transaction Volume (MWh) Volume as % of TSR 2024 2025 Total There are three ways NSPI imports power on a day-ahead or real-time basis. One is through shortterm import transactions so...
AI summary The document outlines three methods NSPI uses to import power on a day-ahead or real-time basis, including short-term import transactions, joint dispatch, and power imported via the Maritime Link. The first two methods are discussed here, with the Maritime Link transactions addressed in a later section.
XII.B.1.e. Final Audit Period Data for Imported Power 704 2025 Maritime Link Benefits Reports (Q1-Q4). 705 EAA, section 4.1 (a). Looking deeper at the data, the flows on the LIL were less than the hourly output of Muskrat Falls in about %...
AI summary The audit period data for imported power from Muskrat Falls shows that flows on the Labrador-Island Link (LIL) were less than the hourly output of Muskrat Falls in most hours. NSPI argues that the LIL's capacity limitation has not hindered energy imports, though increased capacity may help during peak demand. High power testing was completed in March 2026, and the LIL is expected to be upgraded to a higher rating soon.
of installed capacity from the NS Block; rather, the NS Block has been subject to frequent and extended capacity reductions, in some cases reducing capacity to zero for a period as long as one month. It is true that the makeup energy volum...
AI summary The NS Block has experienced frequent and extended capacity reductions, impacting NSPI's ability to rely on it for planning reserve margin. While NSPI receives advanced schedules of makeup energy from NLH, the underdeliveries from the NS Block, particularly during the Labrador Island Link's unavailability, have significantly limited its reliability as a capacity resource.
to those of the previous period, import volume is 6% higher than the previous Audit Period. This is the result of deliveries of larger amounts of Muskrat Falls energy delivered via the Maritime Link. Conclusion XII-7: NSPI was a net import...
AI summary The text discusses NSPI's power import activities, including increased imports from Muskrat Falls via the Maritime Link, reliability-based imports, and the resolution of undelivered energy balances. NSPI's actions were deemed reasonable despite high import prices, and underdeliveries were minimal after reaching zero undelivered volumes for Base and Supplemental Blocks.
