AI summary
- NS Power's 2025 Net Metering Report (filed March 31, 2026) was accepted as filed by the Board under Matter M12783, with active Net Metering customers growing 18% to 13,045 — well above the Dunsky Energy Consulting model's 2025 projection of 35–44 MW, with actual installed capacity reaching 116.3 MW.
- Estimated annual generation by active customers reached 128,054,257 kWh in 2025 (a 19% increase from 2024), projected to displace approximately $23.3 million in retail electricity sales, while excess energy exports to the grid totalled 3,474 MWh with corresponding payouts of $646,146 — a 27% increase year-over-year.
- Nova Scotia Power calculated a net cost of $9.2 million associated with exported solar energy under net metering after accounting for $7.1 million in avoided costs from grid-exported energy, offset against $16.3 million in supply costs for customers drawing on energy credits.
- Data gaps for 2020–2024 payout history were attributed to NS Power's Cybersecurity incident; the Board directed NS Power to include recovered 2020–2024 data in Appendix B of future reports and to continue filing the weather and technological driving factors analysis (Table 1) introduced in Appendix D.
- The Board confirmed that Commercial Net Metering reports should continue to be filed separately from residential net metering reports, consistent with its earlier direction in Matter M11553.
