AI summary The text discusses the impact of solar photovoltaic (PV) installations on energy load and peak demand, showing that while solar generation reduces overall customer consumption, a significant portion of production is exported to the grid. Net metering customers also exhibit higher peak demands compared to non-net metering customers, as indicated by AMI data analysis.

2025 Load Forecast Report (NSEB M12349) NSPI Responses to Solar Nova Scotia Information Requests NON-CONFIDENTIAL 1 Request IR-3: 2 3 The 2025 Load Forecast Report anticipates 930 MW of behind-the-meter solar generation 4 by 2035 (s. 4.4.4...

AI summary NSPI's response to Solar Nova Scotia's IR-3 request details assumptions in the 2025 Load Forecast Report: 74% residential and 26% non-residential behind-the-meter solar by 2035. Current incentives are outlined in the report, with no assumptions about future changes. Behind-the-meter solar contributes to the Renewable Electricity Standard (RES), though the specific percentage is unspecified.

t residential load, accounting for the load-reducing effects of DSM programs, decreases by about 1.6 percent over the forecast period. Without DSM programs, the increase would be about 3.9 percent. 10 The two largest contributors to the in...

AI summary Residential load is projected to decrease by 1.6% with DSM programs, versus a 3.9% increase without them. Key drivers include new customers (7.6% growth) and EV load (7.9% growth), partially offset by solar PV and DSM. The forecast uses a regression-based SAE model incorporating heating, cooling, work-from-home trends, and time-fixed effects.

ery storage and/or curtailment and/or new approaches to the grid integration of DERs would optimize the integration of this level of solar in 2035. (And this has effects on load forecasting). 5. It is our perspective that the assumed scale...

AI summary The text argues that current assumptions about BTM battery storage deployment are too low, impacting load forecasting and solar integration by 2035. It also references the closure of the SolarHomes program and its implications for residential solar incentives.

AI summary Efficiency Nova Scotia accepts applications for non-profits and charities under SolarHomes. NSUARB directed NS Power to include BTM battery grid integration options in tariffs, which NS Power did not oppose. The 2025 Load Forecast Report overestimates residential battery costs, with non-residential and future costs expected to decrease due to economies of scale and innovation.
