update its runs that used the incremental DSM assumption with the new information to be provided by E1. At one point, Synapse suggested this might be done by sensitivity analysis. In its comments circulated on April 9, 2018, E1 provided it...

AI summary The document discusses updating DSM cost assumptions in Synapse's modeling using E1's High Case data, which reflects a $0.60/kWh energy unit cost. NS Power agrees to incorporate E1's updated costs for accurate program evaluation, rejecting sensitivity analysis due to untested new information. The High Case is deemed most relevant for assessing 2% incremental energy efficiency.
