IESO Nova Scotia is a not-for-profit created by provincial law, on behalf of Nova Scotians, to take over operation of the electricity grid from Nova Scotia Power. IESO Nova Scotia will be responsible for planning for the province’s future energy needs, procuring new electricity generation sources, and purchasing and dispatching power from producers, including Nova Scotia Power. IESO Nova Scotia is independent of governments, utilities, and power producers, meaning decisions won’t be driven by profit, but by Nova Scotians’ needs: ensuring enough power can be generated to meet demand, both now and into the future. IESO Nova Scotia will bring transparency and competition to our province’s electricity market, allowing us to improve reliability, accelerate the transition to renewable energy, and secure the most cost-effective electricity possible for Nova Scotians.
