NSEB panel denies Halifax Regional Municipality's request to extend IRP response and report filing deadlines, citing active participation and downstream proceeding dependencies.
AI summary
- The Halifax Regional Municipality (HRM) requested a one-to-two week extension for responding to the Draft Findings and Action Plan, and a further one-to-two week extension for the Draft Integrated Resource Plan IRP Report filing, citing a need to review how the HalifACT 2050 report was incorporated into Nova Scotia Power Inc's IRP analysis.
- The Board noted that HRM had been engaged in the IRP process since at least December 2019, when HRM's Energy & Environment Program Manager submitted comments on the Draft Terms of Reference, and NS Power's response (Exhibit N-4, Appendix B, p. 2) confirmed its openness to HRM's ongoing input.
- The panel — Chair Peter W. Gurnham Q.C., Vice Chair Roland A. Deveau Q.C., and Member Steven M. Murphy MBA P.Eng. — denied the extension, directing HRM to seek additional clarity on HalifACT 2050 integration through direct engagement with the NS Power IRP team.
- The Board cited dependencies of other proceedings on the final IRP Report as a key reason for declining to add a cumulative two-to-four week delay to the existing timeline.
