Nova Scotia Secures Power Supply Deal with New Brunswick #IESO #NovaScotiaPower #NaturalGasPower #EnergyGrid #RenewableEnergy #NBPower
While it’s a ‘what we’ve heard’ report, it clearly rules out any major changes, including a partial or full sale of #NBPower.
I was supportive of the panel & its mandate.
It now appears to be ‘keeping are we’re doing’, under a subtle re-marketing exercise. www.gnb.ca/content/dam/... #nbpoli
#NBPower needs radical restructuring.
1. How has #NBPower been mismanaged so badly that it's in such a dire financial situation
now that the public is forced to bail out the corp w. continuous rate increases?
2. Why is the senior leadership not (a) held accountable & (b) facing consequences?
Large industrial #companies in #NewBrunswick are making a push to exit the #NBPower grid and generate their own #renewable electricity in a move the utility says could leave other ratepayers facing higher bills.

The chaos at NB Power continues. If JD Irving can generate wind energy at a commercial scale, cheaper than the grid, why can't NB Power? Why build a gas plant? Build wind! #nbpoli #NBPower #renewables

It feels like #NSPower & #NBPower are approaching some undefinable denouements, detailed outcomes unclear, except some broad suppositions:
1. Both power corporations are in significant trouble.
2. The regulators & governments seem either unwilling or unable to deal with the basic structural issues.
#NewBrunswick premier #SusanHolt won’t say whether she has confidence in #NBPower selection process for controversial #GasPlant project.

#JDIrving has secured an agreement to sell #power from the large #windfarm it's building in western #NewBrunswick to #NBPower.

Aaaaand now the power is out. #nbpower
Welp... looks like I have a chance to test the new UPS I got for the modem. #nbpower

You know that feeling you get when you're being lied to, and you kinda feel you know why, but starting a list would take you all day? I'm getting that right now. #nbpower #nbpoli www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
In Dec. 2024, #NBPower told reporters the major new #GasPlant would likely be built in the Scoudouc #IndustrialPark. But according to the two-page report, the utility decided just two months later it would instead go with property near Centre Village in #rural Tantramar.

#NBPower wants thousands of #NewBrunswick households that have refused to accept #SmartMeters to pay a higher #fee.

"There are compelling reasons to reduce fossil fuels where possible and to utilize cleaner sources of energy. And, you know, one of the big questions about a 500 megawatt gas plant is how much of it is really going to be used as a backup. It sort of sounds like New Brunswick Power is planning to […]
The people in charge obviously made this choice based on proximity to existing pipelines, and very obviously are ignoring the impact this will have on wildlife.
Do better.

O boy.. I heard the CEO of #NBPower say Smart Meters are the *solution* to high power bills & I just need her to run that by some rural Ontarians for a 2nd opinion..
The Holt #Liberals are giving itself less than a year to come up with a decision about the future of debt-laden #NBPower. Some details about a planned #PublicConsultation process — including who will run it and how many open meetings there will be — are still taking shape.

Hey #NewBrunswick: we had a #SmartMeter installed last year. Yes, our energy bills ⬆️ a bit in Jan/Feb 🥶 bt ⬇️ in March. We can't blame the wild increases on smart meters alone... + honestly? The people doing the work on site at #NBPower need our kindness not frustration.

Do not make it private, look what happened in Nova Scotia.
All options on table as N.B. tries to restrain rising bills — including sale of utility #NewBrunswick #NBPower #Canada
N.B. Power much deeper in debt 15 yrs after a former govt's unpopular effort to sell it

Yeah NB Power! Thanks for getting the power back on in the Kimble Estates area of Fredericton. It was starting to get a little cool in the house here. Cheers 🥂 for the 4-5 hour turnaround. #fredericton #poweroutage #nbpower
My bill was way up and no one was living there for the entire month! #nbpower. Hot water is off and heat in registers is down to 10 as well as a new mini split at 15. Make this make sense
Finally looked at my #nbpower bill. Based on the last 3 years, this was my highest consumption and by 890 kw compared to last year. Definitely something abnormal
Great that #SaintJohnTransit is anticipating higher cost to operate, but passing these costs on to riders in a year when #NBPower is jumping up too, isn’t fair (especially to many of the families in my neighbourhood)
Ridership will suffer!
