The federal government is investing in electrical grid modernization and clean energy in the Maritimes. The Maritime Municipal Electricity Utility Alliance (MMEUA) is planning the $505,000 project across its nine member utilities in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Ottawa is investing $420,750 in non-repayable funding to the project. The project is intended to help community-owned utilities plan smarter, invest more strategically, and develop new programs to help customers make the switch to cleaner, lower-cost electricity. MMEUA officials say the work means more reliable service, expanded electrification options, and utilities that are better equipped to keep rates competitive and infrastructure resilient for years to come. Lunenburg Electric Utility and Mahone Bay Electric Utility are part of the project.
