Announcements:
New Nova Scotia green energy policy to be announced soon
Nova Scotia's NDP government has completed a study by Dalhousie University on the future energy policy. In this proposal we see many positive changes to the current renewable energy policy that will help advance green energy in our province. There is talk of "Feed-in-tariffs" for small wind and solar as well as the establishment of a new Efficiency Nova Scotia program. We are very excited about the future changes and will keep you updated as information becomes available.

Solar Hot Water Incentives get a boost from Nova Scotia Power Inc
With a new incentive from NSPI, putting in your solar hot water system just got a lot more affordable. The total incentives available at this time are up to $2500 for a 1 panel or a 2 panel system. This makes the net cost to the homeowner around $4000-5000 for most systems. We are getting lots of interest for these solar hot water systems and are taking reservations for installs now. Our systems are made in Nova Scotia by Thermo-Dynamics in Dartmouth, and are amongst the best in the world. They will last 30+ years and will pay for themselves many times over. Especially at these prices. Reserve your spot for installation now.
Ross and Gail MacDonald, of Janvrin’s Island, just completed the installation of a Skystream 3.7 marine grade 2.4 kilowatt wind turbine.
Appleseed Energy installed the windmill on a 45' galvanized tilting monopole tower. This unit is capable of providing 50%-100% of an average household's electricity needs. It produces 400 kilowatt hours of electricity in an average 12mph wind speed, and can produce up to 900 kilowatt hours in a month. The foundation is formed reinforced concrete approximately 10 cubic yards. The turbine has wireless communication software that lets the user see in "real-time" what the turbine is producing, it lets the user log data for specified timeframes, and troubleshoot the turbine. Scheduled maintenance consists of a yearly visual and audio inspection, (look and listen to the turbine to make sure there are no problems), and nothing else.
Ross and Gail have their Skystream 3.7 windmill hooked into the Nova Scotia power grid through the Nova Scotia Power Corp’s net-metering program. Under net metering, a system owner receives retail credit for at least a portion of the electricity they generate. Most electricity meters accurately record in both directions, allowing a no-cost method of effectively banking excess electricity production for future credit.
