This week, we sit down with Temi Udo-Affia, Manager of Clean Electricity at Nova Scotia’s Department of Energy, for a deep dive into the province’s ambitious path to net-zero.

Temi shares how the 2030 Clean Power Plan is reshaping Nova Scotia’s energy landscape through wind, solar, and community-driven projects. We explore how the province is planning to phase out coal, modernize the grid, and build a system that’s reliable, affordable, and sustainable. From long-duration storage to innovative policy shifts like the creation of a new independent system operator, this episode is packed with insight on how smart planning today is powering a cleaner tomorrow.

Whether you're an energy professional, policymaker, or just curious about what a real clean energy transition looks like—this is one conversation you won’t want to miss.

Key Takeaways

🔋 Energy Storage is Critical
Nova Scotia is investing in battery and long-duration storage to keep the lights on—even when the sun isn’t shining or the wind isn’t blowing.

🌬️ Wind Power is Growing Fast
Four new wind projects are underway, set to power 11% of the province’s electricity and save ratepayers $100 million annually.

🌞 Community Solar is Powering Local Impact
The Community Solar Program is already generating clean energy for homes and organizations—putting power directly in the hands of communities.

📊 Policy + Planning = Progress
With a bold Clean Power Plan and new independent energy bodies in place, Nova Scotia is laying the foundation for a modern, net-zero electricity system by 2030 and beyond.
