NSEB decision letter now available accepting NS Power's 2025 ELIADC Annual Report while directing enhanced reporting and a firm date for load-shifting analysis
AI summary
- The Board accepts the Eliadc Tariff results presented in NS Power's 2025 Annual Report (M12768), subject to findings on reporting and FAM Audit compliance.
- The Eliadc Tariff generated a positive ADC load-shifting differential in only two of six years (2020 and 2025); the 2025 positive differential of $1.5 million resulted in a net billed amount of $149,304 to Port Hawkesbury Paper after netting Cause Code 5 off-schedule costs of $529,957.
- The Board reiterates concern over continual delays in enhanced quantification of actual load-shifting benefits and costs, directing NS Power to provide a firm delivery date no later than September 15, 2026, citing the cyber breach's impact on PortOps and underlying data systems as partial justification for past delays.
- NS Power is directed to comply with the Industrial Group's requested annual and monthly reporting changes, including a 'clean year' GAAP table and month-by-month comparison of billed charges versus actual incremental cost to serve.
- The Board notes that structural issues raised by intervenors — including unconstrained load forecast revisions and the adequacy of the $5/MWh minimum fixed cost contribution — are reserved for consideration in the proposed new Port Hawkesbury Paper tariff proceeding (M12661).
