Q IS MR BOWMAN'S PROPOSAL CONSISTENT WITH THE BOARD DIRECTIVES THAT COST OF SERVICE AND RATE DESIGN BE BASED ON NON-DISCRIMINATORY RATEMAKING PRINCIPLES? A No. While we are not attorneys, our understating is that the Board operates under a...

AI summary The response argues that Mr. Bowman's proposal is inconsistent with the non-discriminatory rate-making principles mandated by the Nova Scotia Public Utilities Act. It also rejects his recommendation to allocate demand costs to PHP based on its average demand, citing unfair cost distribution. Additionally, the proposal to provide NS Power with practical control of PHP load during constrained conditions is deemed unreasonable, as it disregards PHP's operational constraints.

Q DO YOU AGREE WITH MR. BOWMAN'S RECOMMENDATION THAT THE BOARD COMPLETELY REJECT ALL MODIFICATIONS PROPOSED BY PHP, INCLUDING THE R/C RATIO OF 1.0? A No. Mr. Bowman's flat rejection of PHP's core proposals is entirely inequitable. For exam...

AI summary The respondent disagrees with Mr. Bowman's recommendation to reject all modifications proposed by PHP, including the R/C ratio of 1.0. They argue that an R/C ratio of 1.0 ensures rate fairness and compliance with the Public Utilities Act, as it prevents PHP from subsidizing other customer classes without justification.

AI summary The response challenges NS Power's use of judgment in determining PHP's coincident peak, arguing that it lacks certainty and is too vague for a cost-based rate. Historical data shows a significant reduction in PHP's 3CP demand, casting doubt on the 65 MW figure used for modelling. The response also questions the credit provided via the Interruptibility Rider in the ELID tariff given PHP's limited interruptibility.

Q. What would constitute a cost based interruptible credit for PHP? A. According to NS Power's response to PHP IR-4 (b) "had the credit been developed in accordance with [NSPI's] established practice for pricing of the interruptible credit...

AI summary The document discusses the cost-based interruptible credit for PHP and its implications on the 2027 tariff. It also addresses PHP's lack of visibility to price signals under the ELID tariff and how this affects its ability to respond to market conditions.

AI summary The document discusses the interpretation of a Settlement Agreement (SA) regarding the ELID Tariff and the positions taken by various parties, including NS Power, PHP, InterGroup, and others. It emphasizes that the SA does not allow parties to take arbitrary positions on all ELID Tariff issues, but rather requires consistency with the basic tariff structure. InterGroup supports NS Power's position that the SA requires a written tariff reflecting the agreed terms.

3.0 CONCLUSION It is encouraging that the evidence submitted in this proceeding is focused primarily on tariff costing and pricing parameters and, in general, seems to accept the new above-the-line ELID Tariff construct. In this regard, Sy...

AI summary The proceeding concludes that NS Power's proposed ELID Tariff is generally reasonable but requires modifications to address capacity costs and benefit allocation. The ELID Tariff is seen as a positive evolution in service to Port Hawkesbury Paper, though challenges related to its complexity and prior bankruptcies of the pulp and paper operation at Point Tupper are noted.

It argues that the proposed CBL of 65 MW is too low and suggests 120 MW as a more accurate figure based on historical data and current evidence. The document also notes a typographic error in a prior response.

Recommendation #4 is to conclude there is likely little to no credit due under the IR. I take note of NSP's reply evidenc[e](#page-2-0)3 which indicates that PHP's load at 3 CP times will not necessarily be always dispatched down, and NSP...

AI summary The text discusses the determination of credit due under the Interruptible Rider (IR) for Peak Load Hours (PHP). It notes that PHP's load at 3 CP times may not always be dispatched down, and Nova Scotia Power (NSP) must account for this in generation planning. Credit would be based on expected material load after applying the Dispatchable Rider (DR).

Recommendation #7 is to reject the PHP proposals. I also note issues raised by Synaps[e](#page-2-8)7 suggesting that some of the above ratemaking principles should be abandoned simply to arrive at a rate PHP will accept. That would be inco...

AI summary The text discusses concerns with the PHP proposals, highlighting issues with ratemaking principles, complexity of the DR mechanism, and potential discriminatory practices. It also references cost implications and differences in how demand is calculated for PHP compared to other customer classes.

AI summary The document highlights a dispute over the demand determinant in a regulatory proceeding, with NSPI, PHP, and Bowman proposing different figures (65 MW, 8 MW, and 120 MW, respectively). Synapse Energy Economics also disagrees with PHP's 8 MW proposal, arguing it underestimates PHP's contribution to system costs. The written record lacks a mechanism to test these competing figures or assumptions.
