@globalhalifax What has he done? Healthcare is still very much broken. Wait times for ambulance is still high, wait times in a ER is still high, homelessness is getting worst. Nova Scotia power CEO’s refused to answer questions about a 10% price hike, so no respect there for him or his gov.

@nspowerinc Who dropped your workers on their heads that the cause of a power outage is transmission interruption. Thats just some bigger words for the same thing. https://t.co/2C5RECUqtJ

@1Evyn @adam_safaoui @weathernetwork @nspowerinc has claimed “severe weather” when we’ve had outages on sunny days.
It’s really poor maintenance on the grid that is the problem. @nsgov should expropriate the grid and run it as a public service and allow anyone who can supply electricity to sign a supply contract.

@SolarNS @nspowerinc NSP wasn't allowed to slow down solar by implementing fees on installations.
So is their new strategy to slow down installations to clog up the approval process? Completely unacceptable.

Just got told by a call center representative at @nspowerinc that locating a buried power line - connected to a power pole *somewhere across the street* - is my problem. Forget electricity, NSP: Connect your employees to the info on your _own website_. #YouHadOneJob https://t.co/6WENbroaPn

@ianloughead @nspowerinc There are of course solutions to every problem with enough money. One issue that resulted in long times was over time no matter what you spend the conduits fill with debris or sometimes in certain weather flood. Can result in outages lasting weeks.

@nspowerinc Has anyone ever considered the fact that Nova Scotia is mostly bedrock? Burying powerlines would help with storms knocking them down but the cost and labor to put them in the ground would be astronomical.
Ian Loughead @ianloughead
Reported 2022-05-12 08:34:05
@nspowerinc But you could bury lines in new developments to reduce the risk of outages during storms, which would add little cost. As well, finding the cause of an outage is as difficult as you want it to be. Many cities bury lines and have developed systems to find the problem.

Listen closely, read between the lines - because here comes the #Privatization fix.
Don't fall for it #NovaScotia - think about the privatization of Nova Scotia power and how that has worked out. Proceed from there.

@CTVAtlantic are you going to report on the power outage in the Valley? Looks like @nspowerinc doesn’t even know when/if power will be restored now.
Wasn’t it a warm sunny day there today?

@nspowerinc Sweet transparency with your customers. 430, no wait, 530, wait no... 9pm. You're almost better off not saying anything for crying loud (not trying to give you any ideas). 3000 people paying an arm and a leg for an >8 hour outage on a sunny spring weekday. Cheers.

@nspowerinc @mfdouglasaaa And even when you do, nothing will change. @TimHoustonNS needs to tie any increase in rates to decreases in outages. Go 2 years without an outage, you can increase the rate 2%. We all know, that will never happen.

@TimHoustonNS how are people supposed to live in NS when they can’t even have power on a warm sunny day? @nspowerinc needs to start being charged for every outage more than 5 minutes.

@nspowerinc I’m in Apple River. I’ve seen your outage map. My question is: since wind and snow are common in Nova Scotia, why have you not figured out a method to secure the lines? I’ve never seen such a fragile system. I’ve lived in several provinces.
