AI summary
- Board Staff (Document 330391, filed May 28, 2026) issued three IRs to Nova Scotia Power Inc directing it to explain a missed April 8, 2026 meter test appointment (IR-1), detail how consumption was estimated during two unread billing periods in October and December 2025 following an actual read on August 21, 2025 (IR-2), and clarify whether the February 2026 billed usage of 6,359 kWh represents actual consumption or cumulative reconciliation of prior underestimates, including a comparative winter billing history from 2022–2026 (IR-3).
- Board Staff (Document 330392, filed May 28, 2026) simultaneously issued three IRs to customer Marilyn Ells, asking her to describe how the April 8, 2026 meter check was arranged and whether NS Power confirmed the appointment (IR-1), identify any material property changes between December 2025 and February 2026 that could explain elevated usage (IR-2), and confirm whether the current meter reading appears consistent with her recent bill (IR-3).
- The IRs to NS Power cite the customer's assertion that a meter test was scheduled but no representative attended, and probe whether estimated bills materially understated actual usage during the October–December 2025 periods despite a successful actual read having been obtained in August 2025.
- NS Power responses are due June 11, 2026; Ells' responses are due June 18, 2026, with submissions directed to Senior Advisor Miranda Mavhunga at the NSEB.
