Real Time Pricing tariffs are electricity prices that vary hourly according to Nova Scotia Power's varying cost of generation. This provides customers an opportunity to reduce electricity costs by managing their consumption to take advantage of lower priced electricity during off-peak periods (overnight, weekends and holidays).
