AI summary The Municipal class includes municipal electric utilities that purchase wholesale electricity from NS Power and distribute it within their service territories. Since 2007, these utilities have had the option to source electricity from other providers through OATT, leading to a reduction in municipal load due to increased third-party energy purchases.

ces. We strongly support NSPI’s new commitment to analyzing AMI data and encourage the utility to prioritize this effort as it works to refine its modeling of electric heating impacts. 3. We recommend that NSPI begin modeling heat pump wat...

AI summary The text emphasizes the importance of modeling heat pump water heaters as a separate end use technology in load forecasts, monitoring the impact of the carbon levy removal on EV sales, and updating solar installation projections. These actions are recommended to improve forecast accuracy and align with electrification goals.
