Nova Scotia Power has filed an application with the province’s Utility and Review Board (UARB) to have ratepayers cover the cost of last year’s storm damage to the tune of $22 million.
It’s a request that isn’t sitting well with Premier Tim Houston.
“I wish Nova Scotia Power would have more empathy towards Nova Scotians,” Houston says.
“Folks are already paying a lot in Nova Scotia when it comes to power. If you look at the last couple of years, you’ve seen combined increases near 15 per cent bills and people just can’t afford this,” adds Jay Goldberg, the interim Atlantic director for the Canadian Taxpayers Federation.
