Jefferson Crabtree files complaint against Nova Scotia Power over three-month delay in power pole installation and service connection

M13034 · NSPI Complaint - Power Pole and Easement Issues - Jefferson Crabtree
AI summary
  • Complainant Jefferson Crabtree submitted a general complaint (Reference No. 260810001) on August 10, 2026, alleging NS Power has failed to complete a power pole installation paid for on May 19, 2026 — a delay of approximately three months at the time of filing.
  • The current specific holdup involves NS Power refusing to dispatch a pole crew until the planning coordinator confirms how many pole holes will require rock breaking; however, Crabtree states he was told during the May site scope that rock-breaking requirements cannot be determined until actual digging begins, creating a circular delay.
  • Crabtree states there have been multiple overlapping causes of delay throughout the process, noting these may be the subject of additional future complaints.
  • As resolution, Crabtree requests the earliest possible installation date with a firm commitment from Nova Scotia Power, and direct access to the planning coordinator rather than communication through intermediaries causing multi-week response delays.
