Key Points:
- Ensuring access to affordable, reliable, secure, and clean electricity is important both for households, businesses, and institutions across the region.
- The economy is also rapidly electrifying as consumers adopt electric heat pumps and purchase electric vehicles and as industry transitions from hydrocarbons to clean power on the path to net-zero.
- In this context, Nova Scotia and New Brunswick will work with the Federal Government on approaches to funding.
- The parties agree to collaborate on pathways to achieve an affordable reliable and clean electricity system within this context.
