@nspowerinc @NormanEarle @nspower I was without power for 30 hours. Very happy when truck showed up, but our transformer had to be replaced (which we were contacted approx 2 years ago by NS Power) to expect an outage while it was being replaced. That didn't happen. Why don't they carry spares? 30 hrs!!

@nspowerinc strange - our outage was not part of a larger outage though. Guess I will just have to keep checking the map to make sure we do not get removed yet again.

@LifeOfNatasha26 @plgatl @rebeccahartery4 @nspowerinc this is the problem with capitalism, even the publicly owned stuff isn't in the control of the people, they never put it to a public vote for "do you want your rate increased?", because we aren't, nor have we ever been, a democratic nation

@nspowerinc 4 houses reported outage at 8:33am yesterday, outage disappeared from map late afternoon but we did not have power, reported again at 5:51pm - power has been out for 30 hours now - not 20 hours

@plgatl @rebeccahartery4 I don’t know about taking it back public but we need competition! Valid and comparable competition drives prices down. Having @nspowerinc be out ONLY option gives them too much control, especially with most new homes being 100% electric.

@NSPowerOutages @nspowerinc Shame on you! We have been without power since Saturday morning at 7:00 and yesterday evening our area dropped from outage map. Just to be clear you have not restored power to a lot, you just dropped them from map to look good!

@YHZweatherguy The cold snap should not cause 30,000 customers to be without power at one time. Perhaps 50,000 or even 100,000 in total were affected. Only down to 2,700 this morning.
Not a peep from @nspowerinc . They need to check with Edmonton - not an issue.

@brendenblots @capebretonpost @nspowerinc Yes, the jobs pay well and Emera own other companies. However they charge Nova Scotians way too much for a service that is frequently down and in need of drastic repairs. These increases and their steps to block solar from being a viable option shows they only want $$$$$

@nspowerinc Cut down the trees near your power lines and you wouldn't have a many outages. It is called preventative maintenance. Look it up. You can probably get gov funding to help employee people who need to top up their hours for ei.

Reported 2023-02-04 14:41:58
@nspowerinc @nspowerinc Why your outage map says « transmission interruption » does that mean rolling blackouts? Because 3 power failures on the coldest day, with little to no wind, that’s just pitiful. With the highest power rates of all the provinces, I expect better.

@nspowerinc If you would fix it right the first time, we wouldn't be without power every time we get a 70km breeze. Very poor maintenance. You want MORE money . Something needs to be done.

@Ct_shearer @nspowerinc I’ve often thought that “high winds” is fine as an explanation at the beginning of an event but why can’t customers access accurate info following the even on what specifically the high winds damaged and how the response/repair proceeded from outage to restoration.

@nspowerinc how long are these rolling outages going to continue? My hot water heating system can't get to temperature to circulate before power shuts off. My indoor temp is down to 12c now. I sure hope the new rate increase gives you enough funds to remain operational. *eyeroll*
