Nova Scotia’s Clean Energy Transition

Nova Scotia’s clean energy transition brings together renewable generation, battery storage, grid modernization, and efforts to reduce fossil-fuel use in power and heating.

Nova Scotia Power’s 150 MW/600 MWh battery portfolio in Bridgewater, Waverley, and White Rock is intended to support reliability as coal generation is phased out, while additional storage is being considered near retiring coal facilities. Wind projects such as Mersey River are also being linked to public-sector electricity demand, including public housing. The transition is shaped by provincial climate targets, electricity regulation, federal financing, and the practical challenge of maintaining reliable service as the energy mix changes.
