Nova Scotia Power filed reply comments defending its 2026 Annual Interconnection Processes Report against Small Business Advocate concerns over completion status of Synapse recommendations and Board directives
AI summary
- NS Power responded to the Small Business Advocate's (SBA) concern that the 2026 Annual Report (M12778) unilaterally declared compliance items "Complete" without final stakeholder review, arguing that 13 of 21 recommendations had already been confirmed complete through prior proceedings M10905 and M12174, with stakeholder comment opportunities provided at each stage.
- Three directives were newly marked "Complete" in the 2026 Annual Report — Connect and Manage Approach, Curtailment, and Lower Capacity Threshold Effects — and NS Power noted stakeholders could address these in M12778 or the related Concentric/FERC Order No. 2023 proceeding (M12524).
- NS Power confirmed that Ieso Ns has accepted responsibility for transmission-related interconnection process reporting and for matters arising from Concentric's FERC Order No. 2023 analysis, and on that basis NS Power considers those outstanding directives complete for its own future annual reports.
- On the outstanding Synapse recommendation regarding Distribution Network Upgrade Cost Refund Regulation, NS Power stated its cost allocation straw proposal (first filed November 29, 2024) remains unchanged and that a formal approval application, including any enabling regulation changes, will be submitted in a future proceeding, making a technical session at this stage premature.
- NS Power requested the NSEB accept the 2026 Annual Interconnection Process Report as filed.
