AI summary The Nova Scotia Output-Based Pricing System (NS OBPS) sets emission intensity standards for electricity facilities starting in 2023. The Environmental Goals and Climate Change Reduction Act (EGCCRA) mandates an 80% Renewable Electricity Standards (RES) target by 2030, a coal phase-out by 2030, and provincial GHG reduction targets. It also includes a zero-emission vehicle mandate and aligns with federal targets for zero-emission vehicles.
