AI summary NS Power's energy mix in Nova Scotia has shifted toward variable renewables like wind post-RES implementation, but conventional resources (coal, gas) still provide most firm capacity due to intermittency. Renewable energy displaces conventional energy output, though dispatchable resources and imports remain critical for meeting demand.

1 6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL AND EMISSIONS REGULATORY REQUIREMENTS 2 3 6.1 Renewable Electricity Requirements 4 5 The Nova Scotia Renewable Electricity Standard (RES) includes a renewable energy 6 requirement for NS Power of 25 percent of energy sales in 2015, and 40 percent in 2020. 7 8 In addition to these requirements, Nova Scotia has a Community Feed-in-Tariff 9 (COMFIT) for projects which include community ownership that are connected to the distribution system and Net Metering legislation for renewable projects.[14](#page-37-1) 10 The current 11 Net Metering program was initiated in July 2011, and implementation of the COMFIT 12 program occurred in September 2011. 13 14 On April 8, 2016, the Province amended the Renewable Electricity Regulations to allow 15 NS Power to include COMFIT projects in its RES compliance planning. It also amended 16 the Regulations to remove the "must-run" requirement of the Port Hawkesbury biomass generating facility.[15](#page-37-2) 17 NS Power continues to have contractual obligations associated with 18 operation and maintenance of this biomass co-generation facility. 19 20 NS Power has complied with the renewable electricity requirement in all applicable 21 years. From 2015 through to 2017 the Company served 26.6 percent, 28 percent and 29 22 percent of sales, respectively, using qualifying renewable energy sources.
