Energy Storage Policy and Practices
March – May 2022
To accommodate expanded renewable energy production and accelerated coal plant closures, Nova Scotia’s electricity grid will require additional resources that can store energy and provide reliability. In this context, a comprehensive understanding of the policy and practices that can be use

Phase III: Nova Scotia Geothermal Strategic Planning Proposal
March – May 2022
The Phase I and Phase II geothermal reports demonstrated that Nova Scotia needs to gather more subsurface data – in particular by drilling one or more exploration wells to further ‘de-risk’ the province’s mid-depth geothermal resources. For these wells to be helpful, they must be located in
