For generations, electricity in Nova Scotia has come from a single provider, with little choice and even less transparency. Prices have risen repeatedly and with little warning. While some progress with renewable energy has been made, fossil fuels still dominate the grid. And most Nova Scotians have been left without a real alternative.
But in 2026, that all changes.
Clean, reliable energy from Renewall will soon be available to homes and small businesses across the province. For the first time, you’ll be able to choose how you power your life and it all starts with getting ready now.
Nova Scotians have long lived with a single energy option. For many, that meant feeling powerless and paying the bill each month without any real say in what they were supporting.
With the growth of renewable energy and new provincial regulations, a historic shift is underway. Now, everyday Nova Scotians will have the choice to power their homes with clean, reliable, locally generated electricity.
Energy choice means more than a new provider. It means:
In 2026, clean wind energy from the Mersey River Wind project in Queens County will begin flowing into homes and businesses across the province, delivered through the same grid that powers homes today. That wind-generated renewable energy is central to Renewall’s mission: to help make Nova Scotia the world leader in the clean energy transition.
Here’s how it works:
This is a major breakthrough for energy access in Nova Scotia and it’s designed to be easy, reliable, and ready for the future.
As with any new offering, early access matters. While Renewall’s clean electricity will be available beginning in 2026, but capacity will be limited at launch. That means those who sign up early will be first in line to make the switch.
Signing up early comes with serious advantages:
You don’t need to wait for 2026 to take action. In fact, 2026 will be too late. Here’s how you can prepare today:
99% of homes already have one. If not, visit Nova Scotia Power’s website to learn how to request a smart meter installation.
There’s no cost and no commitment, just a reserved place in line for your business or home & small business when service begins.
Talk to your neighbours. Let local businesses know. Energy choice is coming, and the more people who are ready, the stronger our clean energy future will be.
The decisions we make now will shape the kind of province we pass on to future generations. Clean, local energy is coming. Don’t wait to take control of your power.
Join the waitlist. Share the news. Because in 2026, the power to choose will be yours.
