Nova Scotia Power refiled confidential capital application for Canso Crossing Vibration Mitigation project after NSEB requested clarification of confidentiality designation for Attachment 1
AI summary
- On May 4, 2026, Nova Scotia Power Inc filed application M12843 for the Capital Expenditures project CI C0044172 – L7005 Canso Crossing Vibration Mitigation ($2,431,095 P&A) on a partially confidential basis, but the entirety of Attachment 1 was originally filed in confidence.
- The Nova Scotia Energy Board flagged the overbroad confidentiality designation by email on June 10, 2026, and requested clarification and a potential refile.
- In its June 19, 2026 response letter (Document 102450), NS Power confirmed the original confidentiality designation should have been justified on three grounds: system security/safety, third-party proprietary vendor information, and commercial sensitivity.
- Following internal review, NS Power identified portions of Attachment 1 that could be disclosed publicly and refiled the application with revised, narrowed confidentiality designations.
- NS Power argued that retained confidential sections warrant protection because sensitive infrastructure details could be misused to compromise utility assets, vendor information is proprietary per vendor request, and internal cost analyses could prejudice future procurement negotiations.
