UPDATE: Warning lifted as extreme temperatures start to ease

**** NS Power Release UPDATE: Warning lifted as extreme temperatures start to ease With the extreme cold temperatures easing, Nova Scotia Power’s grid status index has moved back to normal which means the request to our customers to conserve energy has now been lifted. We appreciate our customers efforts to conserve energy – as it was especially important during those peak hours when demand on the system was so high. While there were some localized issues and outages related to the cold on Sunday, our teams were able to avoid system wide issues that could have required load shedding – or proactive, short rotating outages across the province. We would like to thank our customers, as well as our neighbouring utilities across the Atlantic Region for their support and for working together through this extremely cold weekend.
