Town of Lunenburg Electric Utility filed responses to Board Staff IRs 1-10 in its 2026 Flow Through Rate Application, revising its load forecast and cost of power calculations
AI summary
- TOLEU responded to 10 information requests from NSEB Staff, addressing discrepancies in the embedded Fuel Cost Adjustment (FAM) charge used in the GRA cost of power baseline, confirming that no correction was made to the 'existing' rate baseline as TOLEU believes corrections should flow through future GRA proceedings rather than the current flow-through
- In response to IR-2, TOLEU corrected Cell I128 from 0.11705 to the Board-approved energy rate of 0.11600 ¢/kWh, with conforming updates to Cell K128
- In response to IR-5, TOLEU discovered billing adjustments had not been included in 2024/25 and 2025/26 consumption figures; revised line loss estimates are 4.54% and 5.90% respectively, with the application using a blended average of 4.41% for the 2026/27 forecast
- TOLEU's revised analysis produces an annualized additional revenue requirement of \$142,512, representing a weighted average retail rate increase of 1.77% effective immediately, and a further \$185,151 (2.10% weighted average) for rates effective January 1, 2027 reflecting approved NSPI municipal rate increases
- The filing also addresses removal of the general service rate cap approved in M12179, with TOLEU adjusting its rate design methodology to ensure the flow-through increase is allocated appropriately across customer classes before the cap is reinstated
