NSEB directs Nova Scotia Power to clarify billing calculation discrepancies in Leslie Axford DRO appeal
AI summary
- Board member Bruce H. Fisher reviewed NS Power's August 11, 2026 compliance filing and identified discrepancies in how the proposed $419 monthly payment was calculated, including inconsistencies in the kWh figures cited (19,329 vs. an observed 12,655 kWh over 13 months from meter reads on file).
- The Board flagged a contradiction in the compliance filing between references to an '11-month period' (June 2025–April 2026) and a notation of 'Total kWh use for 2025,' raising questions about whether the figure represents an annual or partial-year amount.
- The Board also requested the actual June 2025 meter read underlying the estimated bill, noting that Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) data may now be available for that period.
- NS Power is directed to provide actual monthly meter reads for the most recent two-year period and to explain how the proposed Billing Procedures Equal Billing Plan would function if Ms. Axford's consumption deviates from estimates, including a worked example at ±10% consumption variance.
- NS Power must respond by 2:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 19, 2026.
