AI summary
- Board Staff (Exhibit 102284) directed two IRs to appellant Winton Porter, asking whether Nova Scotia Power Inc ever raised the option of a meter test during the dispute and whether Porter has applied for the provincial Heating Assistance Rebate program ($400/household as of October 2025).
- Board Staff (Exhibit 102285) directed four IRs to Nova Scotia Power Inc, probing the installation and testing history of meter #435825, including whether the meter was tested at installation or when Porter's account commenced (IR-1).
- IR-2 targets five estimated bills issued between July 2025 and March 2026, seeking the estimation methodology, any actual consumption data recoverable post-cyber incident, copies of 2023 bills, and clarification on whether the May 2026 bill reflected the in-person meter read of 44,239 kWh taken April 9, 2026.
- IR-3 focuses on a discrepancy between NS Power's estimated November 2025 read of 34,887 kWh and Porter's photo read of 31,835 kWh, requesting reconciliation, a detailed charge calculation for the January 2026 bill (including a $594.81 credit), and whether NS Power explained the credit to Porter.
- IR-4 examines Billing Procedures under Porter's Equal Billing Plan, whose monthly amount rose from $124 (2023) to $323 (2025–2026), asking NS Power to explain calculation methodology, payment presentation in bi-monthly bills, and why the plan was not recalibrated as the account balance grew to approximately $1,800 by November 2025; responses from both parties are due June 25, 2026.
