  • Decision Letter - Nova Scotia Power Inc. (M12185)

    This penalty is not meant to be punitive, but to encourage compliance with the performance standards in the future. By law, NS Power cannot pass this cost on to customers through rate increases. Instead, the penalty must by paid by shareholders and credited to customers by Oct. 31, 2025.
