Nova Scotia Power has been approved to increase electricity rates by 2.4%, with the change taking effect immediately and reflected in the next billing cycle, impacting households across the province. The increase, approved by the Utility and Review Board, follows previous hikes and is driven by rising costs and the push for cleaner energy. While the government has taken steps to limit further rate increases, many Nova Scotians are concerned about affordability.
With energy prices on the rise, solar power presents an increasingly attractive option for homeowners looking to take control of their energy costs. By switching to solar, you can lock in your electricity costs and protect yourself from future rate hikes—making it a smart, stable choice in these uncertain times.
