AI summary
- In response to NSEB IR-3 (L-10), NS Power reversed its earlier position, confirming the July 11, 2025 meter read was not a true read but was manually entered by a billing representative based on previous usage at the property, contrary to its prior response to IR-2(a) which had characterized it as a true read coded as estimated.
- NS Power clarified that meter reads for February 12 and April 15, 2026 were both obtained remotely, with no physical attendance at the property to inspect the meter.
- In response to IR-4, NS Power outlined available payment arrangements for Mr. Adam's outstanding balance exceeding $2,000, including short-term plans and longer-term 12- or 24-month arrangements with arrears folded into a flat monthly fee, with no late fees or penalties applied.
- Appellant Miguel Adam filed a response on July 13, 2026, characterizing NS Power's revised IR-3 answer as a significant inconsistency undermining the reliability of the billing history and read classifications relied upon in the proceeding.
- Mr. Adam further argued that the matter has been addressed solely through billing-system explanations and remote reads without physical meter inspection or investigation into the source of unusually high consumption, and asked the Board to continue its review rather than accept NS Power's explanations at face value.
