Anne-Louise Dauphinee filed a NSEB appeal of a DRO decision that found NS Power's billing appropriate, arguing the DRO mischaracterized her meter-assignment dispute as a consumption dispute and failed to confirm which physical meter is actually serving her unit.
AI summary
- Appellant Anne Louise Dauphinee filed a Appeal Processes application (Reference 260702002) on July 2, 2026, challenging DRO Don Farmer's June 24, 2026 decision (D-2) that upheld NS Power's Billing Procedures under Board Regulation 5.1, finding meter #2157373 accurate and billing appropriate.
- The core dispute concerns alleged meter-to-account misassignment between two adjacent units: appellant contends meter #2157373 (assigned to her unit at 6303) is physically serving the neighbouring unit (6301), and that she has been paying for another household's consumption since the home was built in 2022 (D-1).
- Appellant's evidence (D-3) includes a controlled breaker-off test on April 27, 2026, during which meter #2157373 continued to record 2.00 kW of usage while her unit had no power — data captured in a detailed meter-reading spreadsheet (meter_discrepancy_analysis.xlsx) submitted with the appeal.
- The DRO relied on a 2021 NS Power investigation that previously found and corrected switched meters at the same address, and an as-found accuracy test confirming meter #2157373 operates within Measurement Canada tolerances — but the appellant argues neither action confirmed current meter-to-unit assignment (D-2, D-3).
- Appellant explicitly states the complaint "was NOT a consumption dispute" and that the DRO's framework was inapplicable; she requests the Board direct NS Power to confirm which meter serves which unit and to retroactively reconcile bills if a misassignment is found (D-1, D-3).
