AI summary
- In response to IR-1, NS Power confirmed that meter #2039876 is a standard Advanced Metering Infrastructure meter installed February 5, 2020; it was not tested at installation or at service initiation, as NS Power relies on manufacturer certification and Measurement Canada's 10-year certification framework (S-E-02/S-S06 Compliance Sampling Specifications). The meter was removed for testing on April 8, 2026, and replaced with meter #2567965, which carries a certification valid until April 2, 2035.
- NS Power indicated it can typically arrange meter removal for testing within one to two weeks, with testing and reporting at its accredited facility taking an additional two to four weeks (IR-1(g)).
- In response to IR-2, NS Power explained that Mr. Singh's first bill (December 31, 2025) was estimated using averaged prior-occupant consumption data from December 2024, April 2025, and October 2025 (totalling 13,415 kWh over 273 days, ~49.1 kWh/day); actual interval data for December 10–31, 2025 remains unavailable due to the cyber incident, even though AMI communications were restored as of March 31, 2026.
- In response to IR-3, NS Power disclosed that the originally offered $480/month budget billing plan (March 2026) was based on a $2,910 arrears balance amortized over 10 months (~$290/month) plus ~$190/month in estimated ongoing charges; based on updated April and June 2026 actual consumption, a revised arrangement of $662/month is now offered, comprising ~$438/month in ongoing charges and ~$224/month to retire an outstanding balance of $5,370.62 over 24 months.
