    The Board found that the written hearing process in this proceeding has allowed for a full and effective and open and transparent review.

    The Public Utilities Board (PUB) has dismissed the Consumer Advocate’s request for an oral hearing on NL Power’s 2024 Capital Budget application. The Board found that the written hearing process in this proceeding has allowed for a full and effective and open and transparent review. The process has been ongoing since June 2023 and has included public notice, a presentation to the parties by Newfoundland Power, a technical conference and two rounds of requests for information which resulted in responses to well over 700 questions. The Board stated: “The Board is of the view that the public written hearing process is the preferred approach for annual capital budget applications as it provides for a full and fair review, bearing in mind the costs and time required to hold an oral hearing.”
