NOVA SCOTIA'S ELECTRICITY SYSTEM In 2015, Nova Scotia had an annual electricity consumption of 10,400 GWh. The residential sector accounts for 45 percent of consumption, the commercial sector uses about 32 percent, and the industrial secto...

AI summary Nova Scotia's electricity system saw a 70% retail rate increase over 10 years due to coal phase-out, renewable integration, and fuel costs. NS Power (95% ownership) is regulated by UARB. By 2020, coal use will drop to 20-35%, with 40% renewables mandated by legislation. Key priorities include accountability, stable rates, and innovation, while managing winter peak loads and diverse demand.
