AI summary
- Nova Scotia Power Inc responded on January 27, 2011 to six IRs issued December 22, 2010 regarding CI# 38142, confirming that eight of ten originally budgeted Asset Management remote terminal units (RTUs) were replaced in 2010, with Victoria Junction and New Page sites deferred (IR-1 response).
- All replaced RTUs were legacy Landis & Gyr units ranging from 16 to 23 years old; replacements sourced from QEI Incorporated (ePAQ-9100 and Stn-9150 models) with a manufacturer-recommended service life of 10–15 years (IR-1, IR-2 responses).
- The revised project total of $512,974 reflects a significant reduction from the ACE 2010 budget of $780,137, driven by a competitive RFP process yielding a new vendor and the deferral of two sites; actual material costs came in at $115,626 against an original material budget of $377,500 (IR-5, IR-6 responses).
- The new RTUs are confirmed compatible with future upgrades or replacement of the existing Grid Modernization SCADA system (IR-4 response).
- By decision letter dated February 18, 2011, the Board approved the $512,974 expenditure, finding the project reasonable and costs justified for sustaining cost-effective SCADA operation by replacing RTUs that had experienced failures and exceeded their expected service life.
