NSEB Board Staff issue nine information requests to Nova Scotia Power on the $2,963,160 Trenton Unit 5 IP-LP Turbine Refurbishment application (M12962)
AI summary
- Board Staff issued IR-1 through IR-9 to Nova Scotia Power Inc on August 26, 2026, with responses due September 17, 2026, covering Asset Management, unit retirement planning, and cost variance justification for the Capital Expenditures application CI C0068659.
- IR-2 probes a apparent contradiction between the ACE 2026 application (Appendix F, p. 36), which forecast Trenton Unit 5 retirement in 2027, and this application's claim that the unit will be needed further into the future to meet increasing peak load — staff request the current retirement plan and alignment with the 80% renewable target by 2030.
- IR-3 follows up on NS Power's prior NSUARB IR-88 response regarding spare-part reuse on Tufts Cove Unit 3 and Point Tupper Unit 2, requesting a component-by-component table identifying which refurbished IP-LP parts will be retained as spares and which will not, with justification.
- IR-6 asks NS Power to detail all maintenance actions taken since the 2012 outage to defer this project, describe reliability impacts if the work had not proceeded, and provide a dispatch history table (since 2020) for each occasion the unit was called to service.
- IR-9 targets the $1,499,051 'Contracts' line-item variance shown on page 4 of the application, requesting detailed breakdowns of all unplanned works including invoices, work orders, and service records.
