Nova Scotia 2014 IRP
Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board
Project completed in 2014
Synapse provided technical support and expert modeling to the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (NS UARB) during the course of the 2014 Integrated Resource Plan (IRP) development by Nova Scotia Power. In collaboration with Nova Scotia Power and the staff and other consultants of the NS UARB, Synapse helped to develop an analysis plan, critiqued Strategist model input assumptions, provided alternative assumptions, conducted modeling of alternative Candidate Resource Plans, and filed detailed comments with the NS UARB on NSP’s final 2014 IRP. Synapse’s work contributed towards development of an approved long-term IRP that contained a “mid-level” investment by NSP into demand-side management (DSM) resources.
