NSEB dismisses Jaspal Singh's appeal of DRO decision, upholding NS Power's billing and meter accuracy compliance in M12829
AI summary
- The Nova Scotia Energy Board reviewed Mr. Singh's appeal concerning his NS Power bills for the period December 10, 2025, to March 12, 2026, covering issues including unexplained consumption, estimated billing, meter accuracy, and burden of proof.
- Meter #2039876, installed in February 2020, was tested by NS Power's Measurement Canada accredited meter shop and confirmed to be operating within prescribed accuracy limits; a replacement meter (#2567965) was installed April 8, 2026, not due for recertification until 2035.
- The Board found that NS Power complied with Billing Procedures under Regulation 5.1 by estimating the December 31, 2025, bill using the prior tenant's historical consumption data and subsequently reconciling it against actual readings, as permitted by the Regulations.
- The Board dismissed Mr. Singh's argument that NS Power bore responsibility for investigating consumption causes on the customer's side of the meter, clarifying that NS Power's obligation ends at the metering point once meter accuracy is confirmed.
- The Board directed NS Power to contact Mr. Singh within 30 days to arrange a reasonable payment plan, and noted a separate cybersecurity investigation (Matter M12273) is underway that may have broader customer impact.
