Beaverton: Nova Scotia Power clarifies residents can always take their business to another monopoly https://www.thebeaverton.com/2023/02/nova-scotia-power-clarifies-residents-can-always-take-their-business-to-another-monopoly/ #satire #canada #commentary #NovaScotiaPower #electricity #NovaScotia #utilities #ratehike #NSPower

That there are any power outages in this weather is a reminder that #NSPower is not fit for purpose and needs nationalizing (provincializing?) in order to protect Nova Scotians.

#UPDATE: Nova Scotia Power , #NSPower, says this morning's #PowerOutages were due to a loss of connection to its transmission tie with New Brunswick.

NSP says it had to reduce power consumption until the connection was restored.
Some 56,000 customers were impacted.
RATE INCREASES EXPECTED

as much as I love to hate #NSPower, looks like they have about 4.6% of customers without power, #HydroOne has 5.1%, #HydroQuebec 7.7%, and...
31% OF MAINE???

Good morning! This applies to those of us in NS who will be losing power on Christmas Eve and Christmas day. You know power failures are coming when the power company tells you in advance. #nspower https://twitter.com/BSwirlsi/status/1605703024256876544

On this pleasant December day, the power went out for no apparent reason. I guess that afternoon of work has been postponed.

So apparently it’s heavy snow and high winds (70 km/hr) tomorrow.
Dear electricity: I’ve got stuff to do all day. Don’t you even _think_ about down time. #nsstorm #nsweather #nspower
Power out and not expected to be back until this evening. Cool. It isn’t like I had planned to do baking all day or anything. #NSPower #WindStorm
If you're just waking up (soon) #Halifax, watch for debris slowing down traffic..

Tens of thousands of Nova Scotians were without power early Thursday as a storm continued to blow through the province.
As of 5:30 a.m., Nova Scotia Power was reporting more than 55,000 customers were in the dark. Nearly 5,000 of those customers were in the #Halifax #NSPower area, with outages reported in the Lower #Sackville and St. Margaret's Bay areas.

With the #power likely to go out overnight due to the wind and heavy rains...correction, due to #NSPower's infrastructure... it's an important reminder to charge all devices, including ourselves.
...unfortunately, I'm suffering from #insomnia, so I'll likely be able to tell you the _exact moment_ it goes out.
...yaaaaaaaay...
#NovaScotia will have significant winds overnight. #Halifax region included.
There's risks driving, when vehicles may be pushed, or hit by flying debris.
You know the drill? Don't drive if you don't have to. And if you do have to, drive really careful.
Charge your #phones and expect #power interruptions.
This isn't our first Rodeo, and Nova Scotia Power #NSPower has been knocked out by squirrels before. Salt air, gentle breezes, careless drivers.. wet weather.. etc..

The winds are so intense on the peninsula that my power went out for like 15 minutes! Granted, that could also just be a statement about #NSPower, the preferred power outage provider of folks in #NovaScotia. 🙃
