NSEB sets August 31, 2026 deadline for Renewable to Retail tariff amendment filings as REI prepares Q4 2026 market entry
AI summary
- The Board issued a letter in Matter M12551 directing Nova Scotia Power and Renewall Energy Inc to file any proposed Tariff Design amendments to the Renewable to Retail (RtR) tariff by August 31, 2026, warning that later filings risk not being resolved before year-end.
- REI confirmed receipt and review of 2024–2025 hourly marginal cost data provided by NS Power, but is requesting three additional years of historical data to assess variability and determine whether a Rate Rider true-up mechanism is necessary.
- NS Power reported no response from REI following its April 17, 2026 data disclosure, and had proposed updating the Board only at the time of the 2027 AAR filing (November 6, 2026), which the Board explicitly rejected as leaving insufficient time.
- The Board noted that multiple related proceedings — M11422 (LIIR Pilot), M12339 (RtR Tariff Amendments), and M12588 (RtR Implementation) — collectively bear on the RtR framework, and flagged that the 2026 AAR November filing may require adjustment if tariff amendments are granted afterward.
- The Board indicated that either NS Power or REI may initiate the tariff amendment application, stating REI has standing to apply if it views existing tariffs as unreasonable, unfair, or unjustly discriminatory.
