Electrical Claims


We are committed to providing you with dependable power. Every year, we invest millions of dollars in efforts to strengthen over tens of thousands of kilometers of distribution and transmission power lines throughout the province. However, there are times when we do experience outages due to adverse weather conditions or failure beyond our control.

If damages are caused by weather related outages, wildlife, a motor vehicle accident, or other causes beyond our control, NS Power is not liable. If damages are related to negligence by us, you may be reimbursed for your loss.
