Federal government announces that $255M is ready for green energy projects in Nova Scotia

The federal government is earmarking up to $255 million for green energy projects in Nova Scotia.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made the announcement on Jul. 21 as he begins a visit to Atlantic Canada.

Up to $125 million will go to new wind energy projects to provide clean power to around 350,000 homes in Nova Scotia.

The government says the money will create hundreds of jobs and deliver benefits to local Indigenous communities.

In addition, up to $130 million will help Nova Scotia Power install batteries to store clean energy at four sites across the province.

The government says the batteries will help provide reliable electricity to homes and businesses and support the closure of coal-fired power plants.
