A review of Nova Scotia's energy sector in 2004 Larry Hughes Energy Research Group Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering Dalhousie University Halifax, Nova Scotia, B3J 2X4 [Written for CCPA-NS] In 2003, and again in 2004, the Nova Scotia Department of Energy released a report detailing the province's progress in meeting the goals and objectives outlined in Nova Scotia's 2001 Energy Strategy. The Department of Energy has decided that no such document will be released in 2005, stating that they will review progress internally instead. In the absence of a government .progress report. the current paper reviews some of the major events in Nova Scotia's energy sector in 2004. This paper shows that offshore activity continues to decline; that liquefied natural gas is needed in order to make the Maritimes and Northeast Pipeline economically viable; and that the Electricity Act benefits Nova Scotia Power more than the average Nova Scotian. The paper also considers other issues, showing that the province is failing to adequately address important concerns such as climate change and energy security.
