AI summary

NSPI confirmed that CI# 25262 (activated June 2004, completed November 2010) migrated 1,121 hydro properties into Nova Scotia's new land registry system at a total cost of $935,002.94, with the largest expenditure category being Other Goods & Services at $659,568 (IR-1).
CI# 33562, the subject of this proceeding with an ACE amount of $1,892,331, targets 612 of an estimated 1,500 remaining freehold and property interests (vacant lands) over a five-year period (2010–2014), with approximately 888 further properties deferred to a future application; NSPI acknowledged an oversight in the original filing description that overstated the scope (IR-2).
The $566,668 forecasted for 'Royalties, Easements, App' includes $51,102 in land registration fees for 612 PIDs at $83.50 each, $32,566 for additional document registrations, and $483,000 in surveying, drawing, and copyright fees, the latter of which was redacted in the non-confidential version (IR-3).
NSPI asserted confidentiality over supplier pricing details in IR-3, arguing that disclosure would undermine competitive procurement and ultimately harm ratepayers, as customer rates are cost-based.
