As reported, in early November a group known as Operation Justice Bahamas visited Halifax on a fact-finding mission. They wanted to ascertain whether Nova Scotians, beholden to Nova Scotia Power’s coal stacks, were feeling as much of a pinch on their monthly power bills as were residents of the island of Grand Bahama. Emera recently purchased the Grand Bahama Power Corporation, and amidst allegations of fraud, “guess-timation” on power bills, and random surcharges in power that destroy appliances, it has not quite endeared itself to the locals.
On November 16th, members of Operation Justice Bahamas presented a formal complaint against Emera to the Bahamian Prime Minister’s office and the Bahamian Consumer Protection Commission.
