NSEB approves Town of Lunenburg Electric Utility application to remove rate cap, with new tariff effective August 1, 2026
AI summary
- The Nova Scotia Energy Board approved the Town Of Lunenburg Electric Utility application (Doc. 332052, Matter M12885) to remove the Rate Design cap on rate increases that had been imposed in the utility's most recent General Rate Application (Matter M12179, approved September 18, 2025).
- New Rates And Money for Domestic Service (18.492 ¢/kWh, $15.04/month service charge), Small General (18.064 ¢/kWh), General, Large General, Time-of-Day, and Street and Yard Lighting are approved effective August 1, 2026 per Schedule 'A'.
- Contemporaneously, the Board issued an order in Matter M12943 approving pass-through of NS Power's municipal rate class increase and adjustments to Demand Side Management (DSM) and Fuel Cost Adjustment (FAM) riders; Schedule 'A' reflects the combined impact of both orders.
- The utility retains a deferred revenue balance accruing interest that is not being collected under this application; recovery is planned through a future application in early 2027.
- The approved tariff embeds formulaic pass-through mechanisms allowing rate adjustments for future NSPI municipal rate class changes and DSM/FAM rider changes without a public hearing.
