AI summary The document discusses a jurisdictional scan conducted by FTI Consulting LLP for the Nova Scotia Independent Energy System Operator (IESO NS), examining how ISOs charge load-serving market participants. The scan found that most ISOs charge primarily based on energy consumption, with some using peak usage as a determinant.

Additionally, it should be noted that all benchmarked ISOs have a wider variety of roles and more responsibilities than IESO Nova Scotia, all being more mature and established organizations. b) The size of an ISO does not necessarily impac...

AI summary The text discusses the role and responsibilities of the Nova Scotia Independent Energy System Operator (IESO Nova Scotia) compared to other ISOs, noting that their size does not necessarily affect the transferability of charge structures. It also references a figure and discussion about the province's future resource mix aligned with clean energy policies.

NON-CONFIDENTIAL 97 d) As shown in the FTI Jurisdictional Scan, many of the benchmarked ISOs (including ISO 98 NE, CAISO, IESO Ontario and the AESO) charge ISO Core Costs to intertie traders.6 For 99 more detail, see Table 4 of Appendix 1,...

AI summary The text discusses how ISOs in various jurisdictions, including IESO Ontario and AESO, charge intertie traders for ISO Core Costs. It suggests that not charging these traders may shift costs to domestic load and could be politically less acceptable. The text also speculates that if export volumes increase or IESO Nova Scotia takes on additional functions, charging intertie traders could become more relevant.

Illustrative granular cost allocation methodology Utilizing a granular cost allocation approach, the illustrative steps would be as follows: - Allocate all direct costs to each function, i.e., system planning, energy resource procurement,...

AI summary The text discusses a granular cost allocation methodology, emphasizing the allocation of direct and indirect costs to functions like system planning and energy procurement. It highlights the potential for increased electricity exports in Nova Scotia, such as through the Wind West initiative, and suggests that a granular cost allocation approach should be implemented as soon as IESO Nova Scotia reaches Phase 2 steady state.
