Topic:"Rate Rider" in M12457

Matter: NSPI Complaint - Systemic Regulatory Compliance Issues - Blarney Stone RestaurantThe complainant wishes to clarify that their complaint is not related to a billing error, which has already been resolved directly with Nova Scotia Power. Rather, the concern is with broader systemic issues regarding NSP’s billing and metering practices under Board-approved tariffs. The complainant notes that some of NSP’s demand meters cannot be manually reset, which affects the correct application of rates. Additionally, customers with variable seasonal demand are disadvantaged when demand is estimated or carried forward without resetting the demand register.
