Efficiency Nova Scotia Corporation is a new independent organization responsible for helping Nova Scotians reduce their energy consumption and improve their energy efficiency at home and at work. It was established by legislation in late 2009.

Collectively, through large and small efforts, Nova Scotians have saved enough electricity since 2008 to power all the homes in Shelburne, Cumberland, Antigonish and Victoria counties combined for one year. That’s more than 30,000 homes. Or put another way, it’s enough electricity to power 6,500 small and medium sized businesses for a year. - www.efficiencyns.ca
