Appellant Marilyn Ells filed redacted correspondence to NSPI's DRO disputing a $1,258.41 December–February 2026 meter read and alleging unresolved billing and meter inspection issues
AI summary
- Appellant contests a December–February 2026 billing cycle charge of $1,258.41, attributing elevated consumption partly to cold weather in January and February and to an unwired coil/outlet on the exterior of the home that has since been removed and covered by an electrician.
- Ells disputes any implication of power theft, noting the south-end outlet was incapable of servicing an electric vehicle and that wiring checks revealed no ground faults.
- Both heat pumps have been switched off at the breaker, and Ells anticipates bills will stabilize once meter reads and billing are reconciled going forward.
- Ells raises a concern that a prior breach may have caused some meters to fluctuate and measure power usage inaccurately in subsequent periods.
- A meter inspection scheduled for April 8th was missed — no NSPI representative appeared — leaving the verification issue unresolved at the time of filing.
