The Nova Scotia Energy Board has opened a formal proceeding to investigate the Nova Scotia Power cybersecurity incident. We are currently in discussions with cybersecurity experts to engage them in the matter.

We recognize that Nova Scotia Power is currently focused on recovery and mitigation efforts. Our process is not intended to interfere with that critical work. Our role is to ensure regulatory oversight and accountability while allowing the utility to concentrate on restoring systems and supporting impacted customers.

We take this matter very seriously and are committed to a thorough and transparent process.
