Appellant Kevin Lepage files rebuttal challenging NS Power's meter accuracy evidence in residential billing dispute before NSEB
AI summary
- Appellant accepts NS Power's July 16, 2026 bench test result for meter #2047502 but argues the test was incomplete — Exhibit L-6 Attachment 5 (Screen Four) shows only the Creep Test and Dial Check were performed, with the Phase, Short, and Hand tests left blank — and requests independent Measurement Canada testing with full chain-of-custody documentation.
- A July 3, 2026 transmission outage anomaly remains unaddressed by NS Power: meter #2047502 registered approximately 4 kWh of consumption while no power was flowing, roughly double the ~2 kWh recorded simultaneously by neighbouring meter #2047503, and a diagnostic code change from rH05555 to rH0455 following the outage has not been explained.
- Appellant renews an unaddressed comparison between meter #2047502 (cumulative billed consumption of roughly 3× that of the neighbour) and meter #2047503 at an adjacent property with more occupants, the same make, model, firmware, and installation date (August 2019), and asks the Board to direct NS Power to respond specifically to this discrepancy.
- A rate code difference — appellant billed under 03B (time-of-use tiered registers A/B/C) versus the neighbouring property under 02B (single undivided cumulative total) — has not been explained by NS Power, and appellant asks for confirmation that the correct rate code has been applied throughout the disputed period.
- Appellant requests a full audit and recalculation of billed consumption from 2021 forward, citing an unexplained doubling of daily average usage from ~24 kWh/day (2020) to ~48 kWh/day (2021) with no change in occupants or equipment — an anomaly predating the March 2025 cyberattack and not addressed in NS Power's Exhibit L-6 submission.
