AI summary Nova Scotia Power Inc. (NSPI) uses 'billed' sales rather than 'accrued' sales for load forecasting due to the longer historical data availability. Billed sales reflect energy billed to customers, while accrued sales represent actual energy generated. System losses, including transmission/distribution losses (4% in municipal areas) and unbilled sales, are estimated at 6.6-6.7% of total Nova Scotia energy requirements.

AI summary This section outlines NSPI's forecasted system losses and unbilled sales changes. Transmission losses are estimated at 3.0% of NSR, distribution losses at 6.0%, with total NSPI losses averaging 6.9% of NSR. Residential and commercial sectors experience higher losses due to lower voltage levels. Annual unbilled sales growth is forecast at ~13 GWh, excluding municipal utility losses.

AI summary The Net System Requirement (NSR) represents the total energy needed to supply residential, commercial, and industrial electricity sales, including transmission and distribution losses in Nova Scotia. The long-term NSR based on model assumptions is detailed in Table 4.
Figure 1 Annual Net System Requirement In addition to annual energy requirements, NSPI also forecasts the peak hourly demand for future years. The forecast methodology uses forecast energy requirements and expected load shapes (hourly cons...
AI summary NSPI forecasts annual energy and peak hourly demand using historical load shapes adjusted for changes like new equipment. Net System Peak is projected to decline by 1.5% annually until 2021 due to DSM programs, contrasting with a 1.0% growth rate without DSM. This reflects the impact of demand-side management on reducing peak demand.

AI summary The document discusses generation plans for both No DSM and With DSM cases, including specific loads and firm capacity. It mentions that transmission avoided costs are considered minor compared to energy and capacity costs. DSM programs are not geographically directed, and their impact on distribution upgrades is limited. Both plans account for environmental and system constraints, including greenhouse gas regulations.

AI summary The document requests an update to planning reserve margins through 2032, explains why they may increase after 2017, and why actual reserves are higher than planned. NSPI responds that the 20% planning reserve margin is a minimum requirement, and increases are due to supply-side additions. It also notes that actual reserves are higher than planned and that NSPI is addressing changes in the energy sector, including renewable integration and coal unit shutdowns.
