XV.B.7. Bates White's 2022-2023 Audit Recommendations
due to the inability of the PortOps model to converge, - iii. Calculation of costs/benefits would be highly dependent on assumptions, if load rebalancing post deviation is required for the analysis, - iv. Costs associated with the initial...

AI summary The document discusses challenges in calculating costs and benefits related to load rebalancing and dispatch decisions due to limitations in the PortOps model and lack of logged deviation data. It also highlights the inability to quantify load shifting benefits for real-time ADC and the potential for net costs from real-time load deviations.

(Recommendation XV-8)
(Recommendation XV-8) Recommendation XV-2: The calculation of the CBL Energy Charge, which includes fixed costs, appears to conflict with the language of the ELIADC tariff. NSPI should either revise the calculation of the CBL Energy charge...

AI summary The document discusses the revision of the ELIADC tariff to address conflicts in the CBL Energy Charge calculation and recommends improvements to NSPI's annual reporting on load shifting benefits and ELIADC performance. NSPI has complied with the first recommendation by revising the tariff, and the second recommendation emphasizes enhanced reporting practices.
