AI summary

- Ms. Coxhead reported receiving a $5,000 power bill and alleged a $860 charge during a 65-day period in which she states she shut off her main panel and ran a generator, calling into question the accuracy of her current metering and Billing Procedures (Exhibit 102439).
- NS Power's Regulatory Counsel Kathleen Murray confirmed that the utility will proceed with removing the existing meter, replacing it with a digital meter, and conducting a formal meter test, with results and supporting documentation to be provided to the Board and Ms. Coxhead (Exhibit 102445).
