Part II - Regulations Vol. 46, No. 12 N.S. Reg. 106/2022 Made: May 26, 2022 Filed: May 27, 2022 Prescribed Petroleum Products Prices Order dated May 26, 2022 made by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board pursuant to

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Decision and Order M10603 Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board In the matter of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act - and - In the matter of prescribing prices for petroleum products under

Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Before: Steven Murphy, MBA, P.Eng., Member Decision and Order Under S. 16 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations , the Board must prescribe a benchmark price for specified petroleum products every Friday. The benchmark price prescribed by the Board is the average of the average of the daily high and low reported product prices (in Canadian cents) since the last benchmark price adjustment for the petroleum product.

The Board must also prescribe retail mark-ups and calculate wholesale margins considering any factors the Board finds relevant, including transportation adjustments. The Board last set wholesale margins in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 146; retail mark-ups in its decision, 2021 NSUARB 50; and transportation adjustments in its decision, 2016 NSUARB 168. Following the Board’s recent retail mark-up decision (2021 NSUARB 50), it approved a monthly retail mark-up adjustment mechanism to address reduced sales volumes from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

The adjustment mechanism was implemented by the Board for gasoline and diesel oil adjustments in an order dated June 2, 2021, but discontinued for diesel oil in an order dated November 26, 2021. At each price setting, the Board may apply a forward-averaging correction, based on historical prices, to achieve revenue neutrality. At appropriate times of the year, the Board may also require an additional margin for winter blending of ultra-low-sulfur diesel oil.

Based on the foregoing and other requirements in the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and regulations, the Board finds it appropriate to prescribe the benchmark prices and adjustments in Table “A,” the COVID-19 related retail mark-up adjustment for gasoline in Table “B,” and the prices for petroleum products in
