The price is based on the incremental cost of providing such energy. Incremental
cost is defined as the incremental generation or purchased power cost after
supplying in-province firm load and other firm supply commitments.
Interruptible and Surplus Energy prices are:
On peak price = incremental cost during on peak hours + 0.9¢/kWh.
Off peak price = incremental cost during off peak hours + 0.3¢/kWh.
The on peak period is defined as 0800 to 2400 hours Atlantic Prevailing Time on
all weekdays, except statutory holidays in New Brunswick. All other hours are
considered to be off peak.
NB Power will provide a week ahead forecast and day ahead firm quotes of the on
and off peak prices to be paid by the customer.
