Nova Scotia Power responded to appellant Leslie Axford's questions regarding a proposed 24-month Budget Settlement Plan in DRO appeal M12544
AI summary
- Nova Scotia Power Regulatory Counsel Kathleen Murray provided a written response dated September 2, 2026, addressing two questions raised by appellant Leslie Axford concerning a proposed Budget Settlement Plan covering arrears of approximately $1,923.02
- NSP clarified that any upfront partial payment would reduce the arrears balance spread over the 24-month plan — for example, paying 50% (~$961.51) upfront would lower the monthly arrears repayment from $80 to $40, reducing the total monthly payment from $242 to $202, without changing the total amount owed
- On metering, NSP confirmed that Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) communication disruptions stemming from a prior cyber incident have been resolved and the appellant's meter is operating normally, with actual consumption continuing to be tracked against the plan's usage estimate
- NSP explained that any variance between estimated and actual consumption accumulates as a credit or balance on the account, to be reconciled at the end of the 24-month term and factored into any new Equal Billing arrangement or reflected under standard billing
- The appellant was invited to continue photographing meter readings and to contact NSP directly if discrepancies between readings and bills are identified
