AI summary NSPI faces GHG emission caps from 2010-2030 under provincial regulations, with a 2013 Order in Council reducing limits from 10 to 4.5 megatonnes. An Equivalency Agreement with Canada (2014-2029) exempts Nova Scotia from federal coal phase-out rules. NSPI complies via renewables, imports, and efficiency. Federal laws like the Pan-Canadian Framework and Clean Electricity Regulations (2024) aim for net-zero electricity by 2035, with NSPI collaborating on carbon reduction measures.

AI summary NSPI must comply with provincial GHG emission caps from 2010–2030, reduced from 10 to 4.5 megatonnes. The Equivalency Agreement with Canada exempts Nova Scotia from federal coal phase-out requirements. OBPS imposes escalating carbon prices starting at $65/tonne in 2023, rising to $170/tonne by 2030. NSPI will meet targets through renewables, imports, and efficiency. Federal CER (2035) mandates fossil fuel electricity emission reductions, aligning with Nova Scotia's 80% renewable goal by 2030.
