AI summary The transcript discusses Nova Scotia Power's 2016-2018 Demand Side Management (DSM) Resource Plan, focusing on energy savings, capital investment avoidance, and compliance with Renewable Electricity Regulations. The plan aims to prevent new capacity or renewable investments up to 2032 and addresses potential RES compliance risks.

on the IRP assumptions. And are there any RES compliance risks associated with low-level DSM for the next three years? Mr. Blunden: No, we believe we have compliance for that period under control. I should mention the COMFIT energy that is...

AI summary The analysis confirms no system risks from low DSM levels, with RES compliance manageable via COMFIT's unaccounted margin. Operational advantages include minimal curtailment and economic energy purchases. The three-year contract allows revisiting DSM targets, avoiding long-term lock-in. NSPI's Plexos modeling supports lower DSM investment through 2030.
