2.0 DIRECTIVE FROM THE 2024 REPORT On March 27, 2025, the Company filed the 2024 Report. In its July 9, 2025 letter, the Board issued the following directive: In IR-3, the Board requested that NS Power identify the factors contributing to the decline in excess generation compensation in 2024 and provide the underlying data supporting this analysis. NS Power could not provide the requested data, citing ongoing IT resource commitments to address a cybersecurity incident. The Board directs NS Power to provide a fulsome response to IR-3 in its 2025 Net Metering Report.[4](#page-5-1) In response to NSEB IR-3 part (a), Appendix B contains the source data for payouts for the reporting years 2011-2019 and 2025. As a result of the cyber incident, NS Power was unable to recover the source data for the payout tables for 2020-2024. In response to NSEB IR-3 part (b), Appendix C provides the Board with the payout amounts to all customers expressed on a $/kWh basis relative to estimated annual generation for all active customers between 2015 and 2024. The Company has also included, as Appendix D , a Legacy Net Metering payout analysis report that examines the change in excess banked energy payouts between 2023 and 2024, along with the key drivers behind that change. p. pp. 3-5

AI summary NS Power explains the 30.9% decrease in net metering customers by citing factors such as cost, incentives, and financing. The 26% decrease in nameplate capacity is attributed to reduced solar installations, though average capacity increased. A cybersecurity incident in April 2025 caused a delay in payouts, which were later resolved with manual meter readings. Spikes in August and November 2025 were due to the availability of true meter readings after the incident.
