• Change from temporary to permanent service
• Reconnection of service, including reconnection for Accounts disconnected for nonpayment, installations where services have been upgraded, connections that do not require installation of a service loop, and connection of services that require a meter reading only
• If the meter is removed for testing at the Customer's request and the test results indicate the meter accuracy is within the allowable limits
• Each addition to an existing unmetered Account.

A service call fee is not applicable to the following services:

Connection and Reconnection Fees

A connection fee of $102.93 is charged for all initial service connections including metered Temporary Facilities.

For multiple metered installations, e.g., Apartment Buildings, the $102.93 fee applies to the service for the common area. If there is no separate service for the common area, this charge applies to the first service connected. The remainder of the initial connections in multiple metered Premises will be charged the service call fee and not the connection fee.

Connection of a mobile home to NB Power Facilities that requires installation of an Overhead Service Loop is considered to be an initial installation.

A seasonal reconnection fee of $162.30 is applicable to the reconnection of an existing seasonal service to NB Power Facilities if the reconnection is for the same occupants of the Premises.

After Hours Fee

If a Customer requests service outside NB Power's normal working hours, or prior to normal scheduled service, an after hours fee will be charged in addition to the connection or service call fee.

The after hours fee is $84.53 or jobs requiring two (2) person hours or less, including travel. For jobs requiring more than two (2) person hours, the after hours fee is set at NB Power's incremental cost of providing the service.

Late Payment Charge

The late payment charge for all Customers is 1½% per month (effective annual rate 19.56% per annum or .04896% compounded daily rate).
