AI summary
- The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board approved Nova Scotia Power Inc Work Order CI# 38110 for the 2010 Transmission Line Insulator Replacement at a cost of $2,236,148, down from an originally planned $2,962,648 within the 2025 Ace Plan (2010 ACE Plan).
- The reduction in cost was attributed to the use of NSPI internal staff instead of contract labour and a scope reduction from six circuits to five circuits for insulator replacement.
- Board approval had been withheld by a May 11, 2010 Order pending separate justification, as the expenditure exceeded the $1 million threshold requiring independent review.
- The Board found the project reasonable and cost-justified based on its System Reliability rationale: proactive replacement of insulators with a known failure characteristic to prevent unplanned customer outages.
- Board staff issued Information Disclosure Information Requests on December 22, 2010, with NSPI responses received January 27, 2011, prior to the February 18, 2011 approval decision.
