The province recently unveiled its plan for 50 per cent wind power by 2030 alongside additional solar. A week later, the federal government announced $12 million to help Nova Scotia with electricity grid upgrades.

While the transition to clean energy will hardly upend your lifestyle — clean electricity is still electricity, an electric vehicle is still just a car, and a more energy efficient house is still a place to call home — the way in which you pay for energy will change. Understanding this change is key to understanding the affordability benefits of clean energy.
Canadian and international studies have shown that the transition to clean energy will make energy more affordable for families. New research from Clean Energy Canada, meanwhile, found that families that choose clean energy solutions over less efficient ones significantly lower their energy costs. Or consider the role that governments have played and should continue playing. The federal government provides $5,000 off the purchase price of eligible EVs, while the Province of Nova Scotia offers drivers an additional $3,000.
