Section 14 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Act and Sections 16 to 19 of the Petroleum Products Pricing Regulations Decision and Order M10963 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: Julia E. Clark, LL.B., 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. However, the Board may prescribe a benchmark price any time, and due to significant changes in the price of petroleum products, the Board has determined that it is appropriate to adjust its most recently prescribed weekly prices.

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.

The Board also issued an Order on September 12, 2022 (2022 NSUARB 140), approving an adjustment mechanism to retail mark-ups for gasoline and diesel oil to account for the impact of credit card fees charged to retailers. 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 credit card fee retail mark-up adjustments in Table “B,” and the prices for petroleum products in
