AI summary
- Board Staff IR-1 through IR-7 (Document 330571, filed 22-May-2026) probe cost allocation, contract protections, and ratepayer exposure for the Community Solar Rider Brooklyn Community Solar interconnection project (CI C0083589).
- IR-1 asks Nova Scotia Power Incorporated to quantify estimated annual maintenance, repair, replacement, and sustaining costs post-commissioning, while IR-2 seeks confirmation that metering and telemetry costs are borne by the solar developer rather than ratepayers.
- IR-3 and IR-4 request confirmation and supporting documentation that the interconnection contract places responsibility for construction overruns, delay damages, permitting deficiencies, financing shortfalls, and site control failures on the developer, and ask for a copy of the executed Power Purchase Agreement and interconnection agreement with relevant provisions highlighted.
- IR-5 and IR-6 examine whether the network upgrade confers benefits on future interconnection projects and whether security for interconnection costs has been provided, raising questions about cost causation and Generator Interconnection policy.
- IR-7 asks whether the completed project will provide broader benefits to NS Power customers generally or exclusively serve the solar generator, directly relevant to the Rate Base and used-and-useful determination underlying the $0 capital submission.
