Our leadership team guides our company’s strategic direction while overseeing the delivery of safe, reliable electricity to our customers.
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 make electricity and transport it through our transmission lines so it can be distributed via smaller lines in local areas throughout the province.
Emera is our parent company, an international energy firm headquartered in Halifax. It is shareholder-owned and publicly traded on the Toronto Stock Exchange and is the sole owner of Nova Scotia Power. Emera is not publicly regulated, but most of its subsidiary operating companies, like Nova Scotia Power, are publicly regulated. Emera companies and investments are working in Canada, the USA, and three Caribbean countries.
Because of this difference in governance, the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board (UARB) governs our interactions with Emera and its affiliates to ensure any work done for us, or by us, is in the best interest of our customers.
Our relationship with Emera, and its growth and status in the energy sector, has allowed Nova Scotia to benefit from investments that have added new renewable energy to our province, reduced emissions from power plants, making them more efficient, and improved customer service and reliability.
Nova Scotia Power’s interactions with affiliates are governed by an Affiliate Code of Conduct issued by the Utility and Review Board. Read our Affiliate Code of Conduct.
Our people will always be our biggest source of energy. We invest in the growth and development of our employees and see the inclusion of diversity of our team as one of our strengths.
