Truro energy & net metering
What Nova Scotia Power charges here, and how surplus solar is credited in Nova Scotia.
Nova Scotia Power charges 19.128 cents/kWh (effective May 1, 2026; base charge $20.08/mo) – among the highest rates in Canada, making solar an excellent investment. Truro is served by NS Power with 1:1 net metering at the full retail rate.
How your system works behind the meter
Most of a Truro system's value comes from power used behind the meter — electricity your panels make and your home uses on the spot, offsetting energy you'd otherwise buy at 19.1¢/kWh. Only the surplus flows past the meter to Nova Scotia Power for net-metering credit.
