AI summary
- Board Staff issued IR-1 through IR-9 (Document 329843, filed April 29, 2026) to Nova Scotia Power Incorporated, with responses due May 26, 2026, in matter M12782 reviewing the Commercial Net Metering Program's 2025 Annual Report under the Electricity Act and Renewable Electricity Regulations s. 37C(1).
- IR-2 and IR-3 focus on data integrity and processing delays: NS Power reportedly cannot recover time-and-date metadata for 2024 Participant Agreements (Report p. 7), and three accounts exceeded the 15-business-day execution target due to NS Power's Cybersecurity incident (Report p. 10).
- IR-5 asks NS Power to confirm the restoration date for its hosting capacity map and table, which has been offline pending GIS service restoration expected near end of Q2 2026 (Report pp. 11–12).
- IR-6 requests a detailed breakdown of avoided costs for behind-the-meter solar consumption versus grid-exported generation, and a comparison of avoided costs against the incremental cost of bill credits issued to CNMP customers for exported energy (Appendix A, Worksheet 2025 CNMP Summary, Cells G50 and L50).
- IR-7 through IR-9 examine distribution system upgrade costs and customer behaviour, including descriptions and actual costs of upgrades triggered by Preliminary Assessments, any project modification recommendations made to customers, and the status of withdrawn applications.
