NSEB directs IESO Nova Scotia to file update by August 14, 2026 on SGIP revision timeline and interim interconnection administration agreement with NS Power
AI summary
- The Board issued a direction letter in Matter M12524 requiring Ieso Nova Scotia to file an update by August 14, 2026, covering the timeline for revisions to the Generator Interconnection Standard Generation Interconnection Procedures (SGIP) and the status of an interim administration agreement with Nova Scotia Power.
- The proceeding stems from a Concentric Energy Advisors report filed October 23, 2025, reviewing FERC Order 2023 and making recommendations on transmission interconnection processes; IESO NS accepted most recommendations but flagged that several—including system upgrade cost allocation, cluster study cost allocation, and a penalty structure—will require SGIP amendments and NSEB approval.
- IESO NS is targeting a December 31, 2026 submission of amended SGIP to the Board, with stakeholder consultations proposed for July–September 2026; the Board noted it has not received the interim NS Power–IESO NS interconnection administration agreement that was expected in Q1/May 2026.
- The Consumer Advocate raised ratepayer protection concerns about the proposed FERC-style penalty structure for study delays and cost allocation methodology for network upgrades, while the Small Business Advocate pressed IESO NS for specific implementation dates, cost estimates, and a transmission capacity heat map explanation.
- IESO NS confirmed no additional costs from implementing the Concentric recommendations are included in its 2026/27 revenue requirement application.
