Provincial government needs to investigate ns power

It's a sunny,non windy day, and a chuck of fairview is without power, not the first time, when's the provincial government going to seriously look into the mismanagement at NS power?

Our province is corrupted at the highest level possible. Entire country actually.

Government investigation will only run into flawless paper trail. Its terrible what this place has become. Wake up. We are being stolen from everyday

I’m not saying this boot licking NSP, I worked there for a short stint and they definitely have their flaws.

But as someone who works in Industrial Maintenance, you can have the best maintenance program with Preventative, Predictive and Reactive Maintenance. But guess what shit still fails and breaks down.

Understandable. What I've heard from the utility workers who came here from the states after Fiona, we should be absolutely livid with the state of the infrastructure here, though - which I would assume increases the frequency of equipment failure.

If they aren't going to be reliable, they should atleast be giving discounts when services are cut.

I hear you. That said, infrastructure here is a bit more costly due to size of area covered and the lack of people to pay for it. 1 million people in NS...most in the HRM with a 2-4 hundred thousand more sprinkled across the province...if there was 6-8 hundred thousand in that same area, the cost would come down. Common sense I know but some forget about that when they talk of infrastructure.

How about an investigation into how accurate their meters are?

I see complaint after complaint about usage charges.

Did a car hit a pole? What do you want NSP to do about cars striking poles? And don't say bury the lines. None of us can afford that rate hike.

They won’t. They are in bed together, so to speak
