Greenhouse Gas Emissions: NSPI is subject to GHG emission caps for the 2010 through 2030 period as outlined in the "Nova Scotia Greenhouse Gas Regulations", and further updated by Order in Council in 2013. The emission cap reduces from 10...
AI summary NSPI is subject to provincial GHG emission caps that decrease from 10 to 4.5 megatonnes between 2010 and 2030. An Equivalency Agreement with the federal government allows Nova Scotia to avoid federal regulations requiring coal plant retirement. NSPI plans to meet emission targets through renewable energy, energy efficiency, and non-emitting imports. Federal policies like the Clean Electricity Regulations aim for a net-zero electricity grid by 2035, with NSPI collaborating with both levels of government to meet these goals.
