The Nova Scotian Utility and Review Board has given Nova Scotia Power two weeks to file a report about its handling in the aftermath of Hurricane Juan (earlier and more earlier). The Board says that public deserves a review of the company’s handling of the power outages but stressed that it doesn’t imply any wrongdoings.
“However, a natural disaster of the magnitude of hurricane Juan can provide valuable insights into improvements which can be made to the overall restoration program in preparation for future outages.”
Apparently there are still around 1,000 customers without electricity, that is, almost after two weeks. Also, NS Power has indicated that the electrical system is still vulnerable as recently damaged trees may succumb in the coming Winter.
