NSEB Board Staff issue second-round information requests to Nova Scotia Power on vendor misinterpretation and cost responsibility in Q2 2026 Dispatch Study Action Plan Update
AI summary
- Board Staff issued IRs 2–6 to Nova Scotia Power Incorporated on August 13, 2026, with responses due September 3, 2026, in Matter M12919 covering the Q2 2026 Project Schedule Dispatch Study Action Plan Update.
- IR-2 probes how the unnamed vendor misinterpreted design requirements, a central factual dispute underlying the remediation cost question.
- IRs 3 and 4 focus on Prudency Reviews: Board Staff ask why NS Power bears remediation costs for a vendor's mistake and request the specific contractual provisions that allocate that liability.
- IR-5 demands production of all communications between NS Power and the vendor regarding the defect and cost responsibility, signalling scrutiny of the paper record supporting NS Power's position.
- IR-6 challenges NS Power's characterization that design interpretation issues arise routinely, pressing the utility to declare whether design requirements were clear or ambiguous and, depending on the answer, to justify either its failure to seek vendor reimbursement or the adequacy of its specification process.
