NSEB approves Town of Lunenburg Electric Utility flow-through rate adjustments effective August 1, 2026 and January 1, 2027
AI summary
- The Nova Scotia Energy Board approved Town Of Lunenburg Electric Utility's application (filed July 3, 2026) to pass through Nova Scotia Power Inc general rate changes for 2026 and 2027, along with Fuel Adjustment Mechanism and Demand Side Management rider adjustments.
- Schedule "A" rates take effect August 1, 2026, setting domestic energy at 18.492 cents/kWh; Schedule "B" rates effective January 1, 2027 increase domestic energy to 18.915 cents/kWh across all rate classes.
- The Board flagged that 2027 rates hold FAM and DSM riders constant at 2026 levels and will likely require further adjustment once NSPI's 2027 rider amounts are confirmed.
- Schedule "A" also incorporates the impact of a contemporaneous order in Matter M12885, which approved removal of rate caps on certain rate classes previously imposed in the utility's last general rate application (M12179).
- The pass-through formula mechanism — originally approved by the NSUARB in 2006 and extended to DSM/FAM riders in 2010 — allows the Board to amend TOLEU rates without a public hearing upon notice from the utility.
