about
Community members who subscribe to the solar project can enjoy lower energy costs over time. The subscribers will get a $0.02/kWh credit on their electricity bill for the solar electricity subscribed. This comes with no incremental costs, and can be cancelled at any time.
Community Solar projects bring communities the opportunity to use solar energy without a need to install solar panels. They generate clean energy, with a 1 Megawatt solar garden able to power approximately 131 homes per year.
Subscription priority will be given to First Nations and marginalized communities, then nearby residences and finally to the general public and businesses.
To express your interest in subscribing to a Community Solar project, please complete our Solar Electricity Subscription form below.
Any subscribers must be current customers of Nova Scotia Power Incorporated, in good standing with the utility, and who are not participating in any other solar programs (such as net metering).
Close to the Commercial Operation Date for a Community Solar project, eligible subscribers who completed the form will be contacted to enter a Subscription Agreement.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Community Solar to subscribers?
Community Solar in Nova Scotia seeks to expand solar energy by allowing community members to subscribe to a solar garden instead of putting panels on their own homes or properties. You then receive credit on your Nova Scotia Power (NSP) bill for the solar energy used.
How much credit does a subscriber receive?
The subscriber would receive $0.02 off per kWh used. This is approximately 10-15% off your NSP bill.
Who is eligible to subscribe?
You must be a Nova Scotia Power customer in good standing with the utility, and not participating in any other solar programs (such as net metering).
Is there a cost to sign up?
There is no cost or commitment to subscribing. It is completely free.
Does anyone get priority to be a subscriber?
Yes, subscription priority will be given to First Nations and marginalized communities, and nearby residences and finally to the general public and businesses.
When would someone reach out about my subscription?
Someone will contact eligible subscribers regarding the subscription agreement closer to when construction starts on site. A project must go through origination (when community engagement occurs), application, and a 1-2 year development period before it is time to register subscribers.
