With Hydro-Quebec reportedly casting covetous eyes on Nova Scotia Power, the company’s current owner – Emera – is keeping to a strict “no comment” policy, according to reports.
In related news, Nova Scotia Premier Darrell Dexter said his government has not been contacted with respect to any sale of NS Power. He also said he doubted HQ was even interested in NS Power, despite some media reports.
Dexter also backed away from joining Newfoundland and Labrador Premier cum New Brunswick Opposition Leader Danny Williams in his crusade against the recent deal to sell NB Power to Hydro-Quebec:
"At this point, it’s certainly not my intention to pick a side in this," Mr. Dexter said.
"Those decisions with respect to what New Brunswick does are New Brunswick’s decisions. We are going to have to deal with the system operator, no matter who it is, and so we respect their right to make those decisions."
Danny Williams reportedly fears being isolated.
Too late to worry about that now.
