An analysis of power outage data shows that there was at least one unplanned outage in Nova Scotia nearly every day in 2024.

Over the year, there were more than 4,700 outages, recording just a single day without an unplanned outage.

The typical reliability standard is fewer than two outages per person per year, said University of Calgary energy economics professor Lucija Muehlenbachs.

“So I’d say it sounds like a tremendous number of outages in terms of frequency.”
