Nova Scotia Power Holding Open Houses to Discuss Modernizing the Electrical Inspections Process

February 14, 2025

As Nova Scotia continues to experience unprecedented building growth, it’s the perfect time to review and improve the electrical inspection process—with safety as the top priority.

Nova Scotia Power and the Department of Labour, Skills, and Immigration are coming together to explore new opportunities—including risk-based electrical inspections—to ensure the process remains safe, efficient, and adaptable to the province’s ongoing growth.

Nova Scotia Power is inviting electrical contractors from across the province to join this important discussion. Your insights and experience are essential in shaping a process that works for everyone. They will be hosting open houses in communities across Nova Scotia from late January through early March. These sessions will give you the chance to share your input and learn more about potential changes.
