Residential customer Kenneth McPhee files appeal response disputing NSPI billing calculations following alleged meter mix-up at multi-unit property
AI summary
- Appellant Ken McPhee contests NSPI billing in Matter M12980, alleging his electricity meter was mixed up with that of a larger adjacent unit occupied by a couple with a child, resulting in charges he believes reflect the other unit's consumption
- McPhee disputes a charge reflecting 3,105 kWh over 112 days for a unit he describes as approximately 200 sq. ft., noting he also spent ten days away during that period, and references a prior 8.5-month period in a larger unit with appliances that totalled only 2,274 kWh
- The appellant identifies a gap in Billing Procedures: he states he received no bill for the period December 5, 2025 to January 28, 2026, and questions how NSPI's $185.84 credit was calculated against the original $238.28 bill for 747 kWh
- McPhee requests actual meter readings for his specific unit before making further payment, asserting the meter assignment error was NSPI's responsibility and that remaining balance of approximately $717 is unjustified
- The filing references the Canadian average daily household consumption of 30 kWh/day as a benchmark, implying the billed 3,105 kWh over 112 days (~27.7 kWh/day) for a 200 sq. ft. single-occupant unit is implausible
