AI summary The RBP portfolio, part of NS Power's efforts to meet decarbonization goals, was initially announced in 2022 and has since been updated. One project withdrew, reducing the total capacity and energy from five to four projects. The withdrawn project's capacity will be added to the Green Choice procurement round, increasing its maximum capacity. The report also discusses unit utilization forecasts and the evolution of Nova Scotia's energy mix.

AI summary Nova Scotia amended its Renewable Electricity Regulations in 2021 to require 80% renewable energy sales by 2030, and in 2016 to allow COMFIT projects and remove the 'must-run' requirement for a biomass facility. NS Power has made progress toward these targets, but faced challenges in meeting the 40% standard from 2020-2022 due to issues with Muskrat Falls energy delivery.

AI summary The Nova Scotia Output-Based Pricing System (NS OBPS) sets emission intensity standards for electricity facilities starting in 2023. The Environmental Goals and Climate Change Reduction Act (EGCCRA) mandates an 80% Renewable Electricity Standards (RES) target by 2030, a coal phase-out by 2030, and provincial GHG reduction targets. It also includes a zero-emission vehicle mandate and aligns with federal targets for zero-emission vehicles.

AI summary The Federal Government, through Environment and Climate Change Canada, introduced a discussion paper on a Clean Electricity Standard (CES) in 2022, aiming for net-zero electricity production by 2035. The proposed CES framework includes offsets/credits to support economy-wide electrification. These changes are considered in the context of Nova Scotia’s OBPS emissions performance standards and the 2035 emissions targets.
