standard overhead facilities less any customer contribution towards those
facilities.
The optional facility charge includes the incremental cost of padmounted
transformation, if required. An exception is when NB Power approves a

NB Power or its contractor installs the facilities.
NB Power provides the electrical design, standard electrical installation
material (primary and secondary conductor, connectors, transformation and
associated protective equipment), and inspection and supervision services
required to meet NB Power's Standard Construction Practices manual, applicable
CSA Standards, and municipal bylaws and regulations.
When complex conduit systems are specified in the design, customers must have
the installation designed by qualified designers and approved by NB Power. The
customer must provide as built drawings upon completion of the work and prior
to service connection. The customer is responsible for the cost of the design
work.
NB Power assumes ownership and responsibility for customer provided equipment
that meets NB Power's Standard Construction Practices manual, applicable CSA
Standards, and municipal bylaws and regulations, after one year from the date
of installation, excluding service loops and streetlighting systems.
