AI summary
- The Town of Antigonish Electric Utility (Town Of Antigonish Electric Utility) filed an Amendment Application in Matter M13024 to update its Rate Design for the Large General Rate Class, as required by Board Orders from 2008 and 2014 mandating alignment with NSPI Large General rates.
- The proposed rate changes reflect NSPI rates approved by the NSEB with effect from May 1, 2026, including a reduction in the Demand Charge from $13.8450 to $11.1740 $/kVA/month, an increase in the Energy Rate from 9.8500 to 11.1640 cents/kWh, the introduction of a FAM rate of 0.1580 cents/kWh (previously nil), and a reduction in the DSM rate from 0.5680 to 0.4580 cents/kWh.
- St. Francis Xavier University was identified as the sole Large General rate class customer and received the required 15-calendar-day advance written notice on July 3, 2026 (Attachment 1); Antigonish Town Council authorized the filing by motion on July 9, 2026 (Attachment 2).
- TOA noted that it has not yet filed a Flowthrough Application for other customer rates (as required under Matter M11893), citing multiple Board-granted extensions and the pending NS Power AA/BA application; TOA intends to address the true-up mechanism, nonreciprocal Back-up/Top-up and Spill Tariff arrangements, and outstanding FAM and Maritime Link cost recovery in a forthcoming General Rate Application later in 2026.
- January 1, 2027 NSPI Large General rates (Demand Charge $11.9890 $/kVA/month; Energy Rate 10.6230 cents/kWh) are listed as approved, with FAM and DSM rates for 2027 listed as TBD; TOA committed to filing further Amendment Applications once those amounts are confirmed by the Board.
