AI summary
- Synapse Energy Economics, acting as Board Staff Consultant, issued IR-1 through IR-8 to Nova Scotia Power Incorporated on December 22, 2010, with responses due January 12, 2011, in connection with NSPI's application for approval of the 2010 ACE Plan work order for Distribution Feeder Ties ($531,609).
- IR-1 and IR-2 request line-by-line technical data for each distribution feeder included in the program, covering line length, pre- and post-upgrade MVA loading capacity, and load transferability to adjacent feeders.
- IR-3 and IR-8 probe the operational outcomes of the upgrades, specifically whether all customer load can be transferred to adjacent feeders during a peak-load outage and whether the upgrades reduced the time required to execute such transfers.
- IR-4 and IR-5 seek a detailed cost breakdown by line item (labour, wood poles, overhead conductors, devices, and other materials) comparing ACE 2010 estimates to actuals, variance explanations, and the rationale for using internal NSPI labour over external contractors including cost differentials.
- IR-6 and IR-7 request disclosure of the vendor quote and selection process for materials and external labour, as well as a review of alternative solutions considered for improving customer transferability during outages and the basis for concluding the chosen approach was the most cost-effective.
