Hello Solar Friends,
You may recall recently in the news the Nova Scotia Department of Energy (DOE) is conducting a review of the Electricity System.

Members of Solar Nova’s board participated in the review session (workshop) held in Halifax that was part of a series of sessions held across the province. In addition, Solar Nova Scotia participated in a meeting with DOE officials as a recognized stakeholder. Lastly and importantly, Solar Nova Scotia’s board along with the help of our membership developed a formal submission to the review which has been since sent to DOE.
The main purpose of this e-mail is to share this information and the document with our members. You can find the document at the Solar Nova Scotia web site via the following link:

Solar Nova Scotia has also issued a press release regarding this as well and can be found via the following link:
This effort is in keeping with Solar Nova Scotia’s policy goal of working with governments at all levels to create policies supporting adoption of all forms of solar energy including active, passive, thermal, concentrated (CSP) and photovoltaic (PV).
Thanks
