AI summary
- NS Power filed a confidentiality request on May 19, 2026 seeking restricted access — limited to intervenors who sign a Confidentiality undertaking — for redacted portions of its 2026 Load Forecast Report, including sections 7.3, 9.0, and 10.2, Attachment 4 (1-Year Forecast Classes), Appendix C (Forecast Comparison), and Appendix D (Forecast Sensitivity).
- The justification for confidentiality centers on the protection of individual large customer identities and their load data, including specific mill customers whose consumption could be reverse-engineered from actuals in Appendix C.
- The Confidentiality Undertaking (exhibit 102032), filed pursuant to Rule 12(2) of the Boards Regulatory Rules, restricts Designated Recipients from sharing confidential materials with clients, other intervenors, or their employees, and requires destruction or return of materials within 30 days of a final Board decision, with an exception for Nova Scotia Barristers' Society members.
- NSEB Clerk Crystal Henwood confirmed in a same-day email (exhibit 102035) that the Board panel approved the form of the Confidentiality Undertaking, while noting that the Board's assessment of whether the identified information warrants confidential treatment remains ongoing.
