AI summary NS Power exceeded SO2 and mercury emission limits during the 2021-2022 compliance period. The excess emissions will be compensated through reductions in future years, primarily by reducing thermal generation and using cleaner technologies. Mercury reductions will also be aided by recycling programs.
023 and 2025 37 An excess of 14kt of SO2 emitted in 2021-2022 must be compensated for by reducing emissions by 14kt in aggregate below the total annual limits between 2027 and 2029 DATE FILED: June 27, 2024 Page 38 of 67 2024 10-Year Syste...
AI summary The document mentions an excess of 14kt of SO2 emissions in 2021-2022 that must be offset by reducing emissions between 2027 and 2029. NS Power has generated mercury credits approved by Nova Scotia Environment and Climate Change to compensate for deferred mercury emissions.

AI summary In October 2022, Nova Scotia updated the Environment Act, transitioning from a cap-and-trade system to a provincial output-based pricing system (NS OBPS), effective January 1, 2023. The NS OBPS sets emission intensity limits for electricity generation facilities based on fuel type, with compensation required for exceeding these limits, priced according to the federal carbon price.
