Important Notice There are contractors and sales companies in Nova Scotia misleading customers, pretending to be associated with Efficiency Nova Scotia, and engaging in aggressive and predatory sales tactics. Efficiency Nova Scotia will never contact you directly unless you have applied to one of our programs.
We plan short-term, goal-focused programs that make meaningful change.
Looking forward, Efficiency Nova Scotia aims to save energy by influencing an entire industry. We'll undertake initiatives to enhance understanding and awareness of a lesser-known technology that can effectively reduce energy consumption. We also want to reduce barriers to adoption so it's easier for people to get and use new energy efficient products and technologies.
Strategic Electrification replaces fossil fuel equipment with efficient, clean electric options. This reduces negative impacts, helps utilities better manage the grid, and saves money over time. We're collaborating with Nova Scotians and industries on initiatives to help reduce energy bills.

During times of high energy demand in Nova Scotia, the electrical grid can be strained, resulting in costly surges. Efficiency Nova Scotia, in association with Nova Scotia Power, is researching and testing technologies and design options that reduce demand during those peak times.

Deep retrofits aim to reduce a home's energy consumption by more than 50%. But deep retrofits can be challenging, so we work with homeowners to identify needs and support them through the upgrade process with contractors across the province. Our goal is to help homeowners understand which upgrades are best and the order in which they should be completed.
Use our electricity cost calculator to explore the amounts of electricity typically used in homes.
Technologies like solar power and battery storage are essential to research for the long-term supply and management of Nova Scotia's electricity. Exploring these technologies will help us understand how electricity can be generated and used effectively during times of need.
