NSEB Board Staff issued Information Requests to CAPE Society regarding meter testing and equipment changes in DRO appeal over disputed NS Power billing
AI summary
- Board Staff issued two Information Requests (IR-1 and IR-2) to Cape Society on July 24, 2026, with responses due August 17, 2026, in connection with CAPE's appeal of a Complaint Resolution Dispute Resolution Officer decision (Matter M12792).
- IR-1 focused on Billing Procedures and Advanced Metering Infrastructure: CAPE confirmed it had no contact with NS Power since the disputed bill, was not informed of the meter test option, and has now agreed to have its smart meter tested; CAPE also raised concerns about whether smart meters were affected by a cyber incident.
- IR-2 addressed equipment on the property: CAPE clarified that two industrial heat pumps have served as the building's primary heating source since construction in 2007, and that the only subsequent addition prior to the disputed bill was a refrigerator; five additional heat pumps were installed May 23, 2026, but post-date the disputed billing period.
- NS Power's regulations require a sequential dispute process — meter reading check, certified 'As Found Meter Test,' and optional independent Industry Canada test — with a $46.00 fee if the meter is found accurate; CAPE had not pursued any of these steps before filing its appeal.
