AI summary The Preferred Plan emphasizes demand reduction initiatives over demand response to avoid capacity investments. These initiatives reduce peak demand, deferring or avoiding capacity investments and mitigating long-term rate impacts. The plan increases investment in demand reduction from $1 million in 2019 to $3.3 million annually, aiming to reduce demand by 20.7 MW over the 2020-2022 DSM Plan term.

AI summary The document discusses the discrepancy between levelized fuel costs used in the 2014 IRP and actual marginal fuel costs experienced by customers. It highlights that the RBIA should reflect the recovery pattern of fuel costs, which are recovered as they are used, unlike future fixed costs. The levelized costs from the 2014 IRP are significantly higher than actual and projected marginal fuel costs.

AI summary NS Power argues that the current RBIA model used by EfficiencyOne does not accurately reflect the variability in bill and rate impacts among rate classes. They propose separating fuel cost savings from fixed cost savings or losses to improve the accuracy of the RBIA results and better reflect the differences in cost causation between rate classes.

Q. Are the claimed benefits also based on avoided energy cost assumptions? A. Yes. The claimed customer benefits depend on the assumptions that EfficiencyOne has made. As I understand, EfficiencyOne has used high levelized fuel costs from...

AI summary The answer confirms that EfficiencyOne's claimed benefits are based on assumed avoided energy costs, which are significantly higher than actual fuel costs experienced by NS Power's customers. This discrepancy may lead to an overestimation of DSM benefits and affect the cost-effectiveness of measures considered.
