@tara_mac11 @nspowerinc Hi Tara,
Can you share any other details with us here or in a private message, such as the colour of the vehicle, truck number, etc. so we can look into this concerning issue.
Thank you for reaching out.

This ****s my mind, but as long as @nspowerinc shareholders keep getting their dividends outage-shmoutage.

@kempthead @nspowerinc @NSUARB Good points. I suspect that it was a series of sorter failures. I’m thinking that they should have parameters around it - if the power goes out again within X, it’s a continuation of the same outage.

@stantielvis @nspowerinc In the end, we were w/o power for 28 hours, but the outage map showed us with an outage of only a few hours.
I want to know if this affects the stats @nspowerinc reports to @NSUARB.
Are we reported as a 28-hour failure, a 5-hour failure, or a series of 3 shorter failures? 5/5

Reported 2021-01-12 17:01:27
@stantielvis @nspowerinc After many more hours, power was restored to all but Ross Ferry and Kempt Head, which were again treated as a new outage, even though we had been without power all night. 4/

@stantielvis @nspowerinc In my case, during last week's extended outage, the initial outage showed 1800 customers affected (which would be all of Boularderie & probably parts of Bras d'Or etc.)
After many hours, power was restored to all but 800 customers on Boularderie. We were deemed a new outage. 3/

Reported 2021-01-12 16:51:35
@stantielvis @nspowerinc My issue is this: When widespread failures occur, a customer in can be affected by multiple breaks. When an outage is cleared and it becomes obvious that some of those affected are still without power. NSP treats this as a new outage, starting when the wider outage was fixed 1/

@stantielvis Funny, I had a discussion with NSUARB about this very issue this morning.
I raised a concern about what I believe may be an error in the way @nspowerinc calculates the duration of outages.

I don’t know what they’re talking about! We have lived remotely for over 14 years and Nova Scotia Power has been fantastic to deal with! Yes we loose power and NSP deals with it as expeditiously as possible.Just call & report it, they’ll fix it ! https://t.co/sSLO6Xd1E9

Hey @nspowerinc - remember all those $millions on upgrades. It’s the same GD Cole harbour power grid that’s out within the span of a week and the same 5,000 customers. The power grid here is broken, clearly.

Hi @nspowerinc , thank you for your quick response. I am just remembering the “old days” when losing power was rare, and now it seems to happen, at our house, anytime the wind ****s past 70kmh in a storm.

Customers now subsidize PHP for example because it’s cheaper to not lose them altogether.

@BradyTheGoat61 @nspowerinc Fortunately our power company isn't too bad except on rates. It would be nice to have some competition to drive the prices down. Outside of that they do a decent job.

Boiled down to its most simplistic level, the contract requires Nova Scotia Power to pay Emera when the Brooklyn facility operates — but also when it doesn’t operate. (Sounds a bit like the contract for the Yarmouth ferry.)
