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 under the Nova Scotia Greenhouse Gas Regulations, which decrease from 10 to 4.5 megatonnes between 2010 and 2030. The province has an equivalency agreement with the federal government, exempting it from federal GHG regulations. NSPI is also required to participate in the OBPS and aligns with federal goals, including the Clean Electricity Regulations, to achieve a net-zero electricity grid by 2035.
