Nova Scotia Power

About the Company

We’re a full-service electric utility, meaning we’re present in all aspects of the electricity supply chain in Nova Scotia – generation, transmission, and distribution. We generate electricity and transport it through our transmission lines so it can be distributed via smaller lines in local areas throughout the province. You count on us to power every moment of every day – and have for over a century. As we adapt and innovate to serve you and the environment better, the heart of what we do remains the same: safely make and deliver the energy you depend on every day.

• Our 1,700 dedicated, safety-focused employees support the generation, transmission and distribution of energy in Nova Scotia.
• Our fuel mix uses hydro, tidal, wind, coal, oil, biomass and natural gas to generate electricity for over 520,000 residential, commercial and industrial customers across Nova Scotia.
• Our facilities can generate more than 2,400 megawatts of electricity that is delivered across 32,000 km of transmission and distribution lines.
• Our more than $5 billion worth of generation, transmission and distribution assets produce over 10,000 gigawatt hours of electricity each year.
• We are proudly an Emera company, which means we share a strategic focus on safely delivering cleaner, affordable and reliable energy to you – our customers.
