N.B. Power turned down for 8.9% rate increase
Utility has been ordered to recalculate its numbers
"It's likely to be half of that," said Rick Williams, referring to where the 8.9 per cent rate increase proposal will end up.
Williams was acting public intervener during N.B. Power's rate hearing and said the "magnitude" of changes the EUB has ordered in the rate application looks to be significant.
"Definitely," he said.

On Thursday, the EUB delivered what it called a "partial decision" on N.B. Power's rates for the coming year and made it clear it found the utility's request for an 8.9 per cent increase to be deficient.
"The Board is not satisfied that the rates, as applied for, are just and reasonable," the regulatory body wrote.
Citing N.B. Power's use of stale cost data from early June 2022 in its original application for April 2023 rates, the EUB said it wanted to base its decision on more recent information the utility was forced to disclose during two weeks of hearings that took place last month.
Those estimates showed major improvements in some of N.B. Power's financial prospects for the coming year, but how much money that would strip out of its need for a rate increase is not entirely clear.
N.B. Power has been instructed to recalculate a significant proportion of its fuel and purchased power cost estimates and resubmit those along with a recalculated rate increase.
"N.B. Power is ordered to refile its 2023/2024 test-year budget with the above-noted adjustments identified, cost of service study with adjustments, proof of revenue, and the resulting rates," said the board.
N.B. Power had no immediate comment on the decision, or what its final calculation of the rate increase will be, given the changes ordered by the EUB.
"We plan to take time to review the ruling in full before responding to questions," wrote N.B. Power communications officer Dominique Couture.
N.B. Power's original application to the EUB was for a rate increase large enough to bring in $135.8 million in new revenue.
It was based on what Lori Clark, the utility's acting president, told the board was needed to cover inflation, rising interest rates and operational troubles battering the organization.
"In a single year, the cost of fuel and purchased power necessary to supply customers in New Brunswick has increased by $102.8 million," Clark told the hearing.
"This has occurred largely due to market price increases for natural gas, heavy fuel oil and electricity."
But the utility struggled to defend the trustworthiness of those numbers as the hearing progressed, given they had been put together months earlier, in early June 2022.
Original projections stale
In a pivotal moment days into testimony of N.B. Power witnesses, a lawyer for J.D. Irving Ltd., Conor O'Neil, won an admission that at least two internal updates of those projections had been put together by the utility since last June but were not shared with the hearing.
The board ordered them to be produced and the new numbers confirmed suspicions that N.B. Power's original projections were stale, and the company's revenues and expenses for next year were up to $106.4 million better than its budget showed.
But the update also revealed N.B. Power's current year has involved significant losses that have ballooned its net debt by $380 million and would add up to $30 million next year in unbudgeted interest costs.
In its partial decision, the EUB said it would add those interest costs to what the utility needs for next year, but will also subtract out at least some of the exaggerated amounts from its original budget caused by stale estimates.
Williams said it is not possible to pinpoint where that back and forth will leave the rate increase, but he believes the final figure will be known within the week, and it will not be close to 8.9 per cent.

[3] The Board relies on 2022/23 Q3R1 Forecast – January 2023 to March 2024 – PROMOD Output dated January 2023 (PROMOD Update) results based on commodity prices from market close of January 3, 2023, included as part of Exhibit NBP 26.01.
[4] To calculate the revenue requirement and the resulting rates for the test year, NB Power is directed to update its fuel and purchase power expense, load forecast, and revenue forecast in accordance with the PROMOD Update.

[5] In recognition of the effect on the total margin
resulting from the calendar year contract period of the ISO New England
standard offer service contracts, the Board approves a downward
adjustment of $31.5 million to the Export Gross Margin for the test
year, resulting from the PROMOD Update, as described in Exhibit NBP
26.01.
[6] Concerning the remaining components of the revenue requirement, the Board makes the following adjustments:

1. The Board reduces the proposed amount of $368.7 million by $3.3 million relating to the Bayside Gas Turbine Project.
(b) Finance costs and other income:
1. In recognition of the impact of higher forecast interest rates and level of debt, the Board applies a manual upward adjustment of $30 million.
[7] There are no other adjustments to revenue requirement components, reflected in Exhibit NBP 20.08.

[8] The Board approves NB Power’s proposal for a uniform rate increase across all customer classes.
[9] In addition, the Board approves an increase of $1.00 per month in the rental fee charged for hot water heaters and an increase of $11.11 in the service call fee charged to customers for certain service calls.
[10] The proposed changes to NB Power's Financial Risk Management Policies and Financial Risk Management Policies to which New Brunswick Energy Marketing Corporation is subject are approved.
[11] This partial decision is being rendered to enable NB Power to put its 2023/2024 rates into effect promptly. The Board will issue its final decision, with reasons, later. If there are any differences between the final and partial decisions, the final decision will govern.
[12] NB Power is ordered to refile its 2023/2024 test year budget with the above-noted adjustments identified, cost of service study with adjustments, proof of revenue, and the resulting rates.
[13] Subject to the approval of the above documents, the Board will issue an order approving all rates across all customer classes, and the remaining rate schedules, and will set a time at which those rates will take effect.

"This has occurred largely due to market price increases for natural gas, heavy fuel oil and electricity."
I'd be very curious to see how much of that natural gas and heavy fuel oil is bought from Irving companies... Aren't you? As usual, Irving wants to be able to charge more, citing market volability, yet pay less for energy costs. Hmm...

The ability (or lack thereof) of any company,
organization, government dept, etc. to produce budget forecasts based on
the best available information at the time is an excellent indicator of
management competence.
One would expect NB Power to have thoroughly done their homework prior to these hearings, but such was obviously not the case.
They have once again put their incompetence on display.
Great work though by the EUB group!

Perhaps they can start sharpening the pencil with a 20%
pay cut for management and eliminate all management performance
bonuses. Missing targets, being over budget to name a few sins should be
all the reason needed. Lets not reward failure by management.
But we need to be careful with rate hikes and make sure we are not saving a few pennies today that will cost us dollars tomorrow,

E-9.18 (Act) and Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Board’s Rules >> of Procedure (Rules of Procedure). >> >> [2] NB Power requests that the Board vary its decision of August 4, >> 2020 (Matter 357 >> Decision), by granting an extension of the time required for it to >> file an application >> regarding the first phase of the rate design process from June 30, >> 2021, to a date no later than June 30, 2022. >> >> [3] In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board directed NB Power to >> commence a new proceeding to include three distinct phases: first, to >> file an application by June 30, 2021, to address certain issues >> identified in the decision; second, to provide details of the timing >> and issues to be resolved, which would identify rate design options >> and determine the rate structure; and third, to establish and >> implement a new rate design. >> >> [4] On May 12, the Board ordered that NB Power serve the Application >> and supporting >> materials on all parties in Matter 357 and post them on its website. >> NB Power filed an >> affidavit, sworn on June 3, confirming that the Application and the >> Notice of the >> Application were posted in accordance with the Board’s Order.

Issues >> >> [8] The key issue in this matter is whether the Board should vary its >> Matter 357 Decision as described above and, if so, under what >> conditions. >> >> C. Analysis >> >> [9] The Board held a hearing on June 8 by video conference and heard >> oral submissions on behalf of NB Power, Dr. Richard, Utilities >> Municipal, and the Public Intervener. >> [10] Mr. Furey submitted that there are new facts since the Matter 357 >> Decision that have resulted in changed circumstances that, in the >> overall context of these rate design >> proceedings, make up sufficient grounds to vary the decision. He >> further submitted that the expected easing of restrictions, referred >> to by the provincial government as the “Path to Green”, is not the end >> of business impacts as a result of the pandemic. >> [11] Mr. Furey stated that the Board should consider the following >> “four contextual factors” in its decision to extend the time to file >> an application with respect to rate design: >> (1) In the Matter 357 Decision, the Board identified that rate design >> proceedings will move forward in a three-phase approach and that, in >> NB Power’s submission, the Board correctly characterized this first >> phase as laying a foundation for future rate design proceedings. >> (2) The Board has recognized that decisions in this round of rate >> design proceedings >> would likely have long-term impacts for all customers, in particular, >> the commercial and industrial classes. Mr. Furey submitted that NB >> Power is required to bring forward proposals with respect to customer >> classification, including an action plan for the elimination of the >> General Service II class. >> (3) Proposed changes to rate design impacts on the rates and bills of >> certain >> customers, especially in the commercial and industrial classes. >> (4) The importance assigned by the Board to the ability, through >> advocates, >> of >> under-represented customers, to make submissions, which would contribute >> to >> the rate design process. >> >> [12] Dr. Richard submitted that he had no objection to extending the >> time to file an application to June 30, 2022. >> >> [13] Utilities Municipal supported the Application, subject to two >> comments. First, Mr. Stoll expressed a concern that there may be a >> strain on the resources of some regular participants in Board >> proceedings, given the number of potential hearings within the next 18 >> months. >> >> Second, he stated that he does not wish to see this proceeding >> “languish for another year.” Mr. Stoll suggested that NB Power >> continue with any work using an “[…] incremental approach to the rate >> design process so that we don’t inadvertently end up circling back or >> redoing certain things […].” >> >> [14] In its submission, Utilities Municipal stated that it was not >> able to identify specific work, but rather requested that the Board >> seek input from NB Power about what would be possible to advance the >> proceeding during any extension of time. >> >> [15] In its reply of June 4, NB Power responded to Mr. Stoll’s >> comments, agreeing that efforts should be made to avoid overlapping of >> proceedings before the Board. It suggested that its proposed deadline >> of June 30, 2022, would accomplish that objective. It noted that, in >> the meantime, it could advance work on certain issues and utilize a >> more up-to-date budget and load data. >> >> [16] In her written submission dated May 27, Ms. Black supported the >> Application stating that she had no objection to the extension of time >> requested. Ms. Black stated that she supported the suggestion that NB >> Power file a plan to overcome what was referred to as the >> “representation gap” to ensure that, for example, residential >> customers’ interests are adequately represented. >> >> [17] Section 43 of the Act states: >> 43 The Board may review, rescind or vary any order made by it. >> >> [18] Rules 1.2.5 and 8.1.1 of the Rules of Procedure state: >> 1.2.5. The Board may in its discretion extend or abridge the time >> fixed by these Rules or by the Board, on its own initiative or in >> response to a request by a party, either before or after the time so >> fixed has expired. >> >> 8.1.1. An application to review, rescind, or vary an order under section >> 43 >> of >> the Act, or to rehear an application under section 44 of the Act shall >> contain: >> a) a concise statement of the facts; >> b) the grounds that the applicant considers sufficient, including: >> i. any error of law or of jurisdiction, >> ii. changed circumstances or new facts that have arisen since the >> close of the original proceeding, or >> iii. facts that were not placed in evidence in the original proceeding >> and that were then not discoverable by reasonable diligence; >> c) any prejudice or damage that has resulted or will result from the >> order; >> and >> d) the relief sought. >> >> [19] Accordingly, the Board has the discretion to vary its Matter 357 >> Decision by granting an extension of the time required for NB Power to >> file its rate design application. >> >> [20] In making a determination with respect to a variance, the Board >> must consider the criteria set out under Rule 8.1.1 of the Rules of >> Procedure, and owes a duty of fairness to those who are affected by >> its decisions. >> >> [21] As stated in the Matter 357 Decision, the Board needs to consider >> how the views of >> consumer groups will be represented in relation to rate design. The >> Board’s hearing >> procedure encourages public participation to provide a meaningful >> opportunity to present >> their case fully and fairly. >> >> [22] Due to the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, however, >> the Board recognizes that some people may not have this opportunity, >> should the proceeding continue as currently scheduled. >> >> D. Conclusion >> >> [23] In light of these circumstances, the Board varies the Matter 357 >> Decision and grants an extension of time, as requested. NB Power is to >> file an application to address the issues identified as the first >> phase in the Matter 357 Decision to a date no later than June 30, >> 2022, subject to the direction below. >> >> [24] The Board directs NB Power to file a proposal to address any gap >> in relation to under-represented customers, as referenced in the >> Matter 357 Decision, by October 31, 2021. >> >> Dated at Saint John, New Brunswick, this 16th day of June, 2021. >> François Beaulieu >> Acting Chairperson >> >> Michael Costello >> Member >> >> Patrick Ervin >> Member >> >> John Patrick Herron >> Member >> >> >> >> >> >> ---------- Original message ---------- >> From: "Higgs, Premier Blaine (PO/CPM)" <Blaine.Higgs@gnb.ca> >> Date: Fri, 4 Jun 2021 18:59:09 +0000 >> Subject: RE: Matter 497 - NB Power Application for a variance of a >> decision / Instance 497 - Demande d'Énergie NB pour une modification >> d'une décision >> To: David Amos <david.raymond.amos333@gmail. >> >> Hello, >> >> Thank you for taking the time to write. >> >> Due to the volume of incoming messages, this is an automated response >> to let you know that your email has been received and will be reviewed >> at the earliest opportunity. >> >> If your inquiry more appropriately falls within the mandate of a >> Ministry or other area of government, staff will refer your email for >> review and consideration. >> >> Merci d'avoir pris le temps de nous écrire. >> >> En raison du volume des messages reçus, cette réponse automatique vous >> informe que votre courriel a été reçu et sera examiné dans les >> meilleurs délais. >> >> Si votre demande relève plutôt du mandat d'un ministère ou d'un autre >> secteur du gouvernement, le personnel vous renverra votre courriel >> pour examen et considération. >> >> If this is a Media Request, please contact the Premier’s office at >> (506) 453-2144 or by email >> media-medias@gnb.ca<mailto:med >> >> S’il s’agit d’une demande des médias, veuillez communiquer avec le >> Cabinet du premier ministre au 506-453-2144. >> >> >> General Information >> For general information and answers to common questions on novel >> coronavirus please visit: >> GNB/COVID-19<https://na01. >> or >> Canada.ca/coronavirus<https:// >> information line 1-833-784-4397. >> >> >> Safety Issues >> For safety issues regarding place of employment/employer please call >> WorkSafe NB 1-800-999-9775. >> >> Compassionate requests >> Please call the Canadian Red Cross 1-800-863-6582. >> >> Non-health questions >> Please call 1-844-462-8387.
