Berwick Electric Commission filed its 2026 Flow-Through Application seeking a 3.155% increase to energy and demand charges to recover $222,896 in additional purchased power costs
AI summary
- Berwick Electric Commission filed Exhibit B-1 on July 15, 2026 requesting Board approval for a Fuel Cost Adjustment flow-through rate increase of 3.155% applied to variable (energy and demand) charges, based on a forecast test year of 39,918,500 kWh for April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027.
- The $222,896 Cost Recovery increment reflects updated purchased power rates from NS Power, Ellershouse wind, solar, BUTU service, and related transmission and ancillary services; key supply cost inputs are filed as Confidential Appendices A and B under the Board's confidentiality rules.
- BEC is deferring recovery of its allocated share of NS Power's outstanding Fuel Adjustment Mechanism (FAM AA/BA) and Maritime Link costs pending NS Power's next AA/BA application, potential Securitization discussions with the Province, and BEC's upcoming General Rate Application.
- BEC also requests to defer filing of its Rate Design true-up mechanism and tariff language — previously extended three times by the Board (June 2025, October 2025, January 2026) — until its next GRA, noting the mechanism will not be required for at least two years following this decision.
- The application excludes any rate changes related to the non-reciprocal Back-up/Top-up and Spill Tariff arrangement or Power Purchase Agreement amendments with the Alternate Resource Energy Authority (Area), both of which remain under implementation by AREA and NS Power.
