2020 IRP - PRE-IRP DELIVERABLES FINAL REPORT
In its Order initiating the 2020 IRP process, the NSUARB requested NS Power complete several Pre-IRP Deliverables prior to the initiation of the formal process. NS Power issued the Capacity Study, Renewables Integration Study, Supply Options Study, and Demand Response program details on July 31, 2019. In addition, the Company hosted four Engagement Sessions on the study work and met with numerous stakeholder groups in an effort to identify and discuss a variety of issues relevant to the planning process. Enclosed are reports, materials and the responses to questions from stakeholders related to the Pre-IRP process.
