AI summary E1 launched its Demand Response program in 2023, targeting 16.3 MW of available capacity by 2026. The program includes BNI (Smart Synergy) for commercial/industrial curtailment and Residential (Eco Shift) with devices like smart thermostats and EV chargers. Table 11 provides 2025 results.

Program Components - The Residential Demand Response program component, marketed as Eco Shift, aims to help facilitate a more flexible residential load that provides residential customers with economic incentives and more visibility and co...

AI summary The Residential Demand Response (Eco Shift) program offers economic incentives and load control for residential customers using specific devices. The BNI Demand Response (Smart Synergy) program targets non-residential loads through commercial/industrial curtailment, providing similar incentives. Both aim to enhance load flexibility.

2024/2025 season (December 1, 2024 to February 28, 2025) results - The BNI Demand Response program component, marketed as Smart Synergy, achieved 5.9 MW during the 2024/2025 season. Eight demand response events were called by NS Power duri...

AI summary The BNI Demand Response program (Smart Synergy) achieved 5.9 MW during the 2024/2025 season, below the 2025 Plan target. Factors include limited advance notice (16 hours) from NS Power, higher participant opt-out rates, and unfavorable event timing (morning vs. evening events), which reduced available capacity.

AI summary The table discusses the estimated impact of 2026 GRA line losses on key 2027–2031 DSM Plan outputs. The differences in energy savings, peak demand savings, and demand response capacity are minimal, indicating a small effect from the line losses. The request and response relate to the Smart Synergy program, including participation rates, incentives, and event calling practices.

t is E1's responsibility to ensure that overall performance targets for the DSM Plan are met and as such manages internal requirements accordingly. DATE FILED: May 28, 2026 E1 (SNS) IR-09 Page 3 of 3 Request IR-10: Smart Synergy Reference:...

AI summary E1 states it is responsible for meeting DSM Plan performance targets and managing internal requirements. In 2025, no batteries, gas, or diesel generators were enrolled in Smart Synergy. E1 has not forecasted technology-specific totals for the 2027–2031 DSM Plan but is exploring cost-effective curtailment technologies. The DSM Plan duration does not hinder support for capital-intensive DERs, though customer investment may depend on economics beyond the five-year approval period.

4 Q. WHAT DOES E1 SAY ABOUT THIS DOUBLE-COUNTING CONCERN? 5 A. E1 acknowledges that determining incremental value for an LII customer "may present a 6 technical challenge, given that such customers are already contractually obligated to 7...

AI summary E1 acknowledges the challenge of determining incremental value for LII customers under interruptible tariffs and confirms that it has not developed a finalized methodology. E1 also states that NS Power does not plan firm capacity requirements based on interruptible load, and thus does not treat it as eligible incremental demand response capacity under Smart Synergy.

AI summary E1's DSM plan updates include adjusting investment splits and increasing low-income support to 11% of residential savings. Questions focus on the basis for this percentage, benchmarking methodologies, and interruptible customer participation in Smart Synergy. The plan also addresses equity definitions and potential double compensation for demand reductions.
