AI summary
- The Small Business Advocate (Exhibit 103296), Industrial Group (Exhibit 103297), and NSEB Board Staff (Exhibit 103303) each issued information requests on August 24, 2026, with responses due September 14, 2026, regarding Nova Scotia Power Incorporated's 2025 Affiliate Transactions Code of Conduct Report (Exhibit N-1)
- Multiple IRs focus on the impact of a 2025 cyber security incident on data availability: NSEB IR-1 and Industrial Group IR-3 both question how M&A Services charges were billed on forecast rather than actual allocator data (Appendices D(9) and D(10)), the expected 2026 true-up mechanism, and whether any affiliate was over- or under-charged as a result
- A notable pattern of Affiliate Transactions employee transfers is scrutinized across SBA IR-1 and NSEB IR-7: two 'Director, WAM Project' employees moved between NSP and Emera in mid-2025, and the swap of 'Director, Information Security' and 'Director, Cyber Security Governance' roles between NSP and Emera raises questions about expertise loss and cybersecurity recovery leadership
- NSEB IR-4 requests details on a $523,437 charge from Emera to NS Power for a McKinsey 'AI Transformation Strategy' engagement (Appendix D(12)), including scope, procurement rationale, and why the full cost was allocated to NS Power
- Industrial Group IR-2 and SBA IR-2 both probe the 2025 Corporate Balanced Scorecard (Appendix B), noting that the NS Power Board exercised discretion to adjust BSC elements in a 'unique' year where Net Income scored 'Below Target' and Cash Flow from Operations scored 'Below Threshold,' resulting in an overall 98.4% of target payout
