Nova Scotia Department of Energy Renewable Energy Standard

On February 1, 2007, Nova Scotia's new Renewable Energy Standards took effect.

These mandatory standards will make us a greener, cleaner province for generations to come.

By 2013, Nova Scotia will generate at least 18.5% of our electricity through renewable energy -- wind, tidal, biomass, solar and hydro.

By 2015, Nova Scotia will generate 25% of our electricity with renewables.
