After a car hit an aging power pole on Russell Street, it became an opportunity to strengthen local infrastructure.
Working closely with a nearby business, the old pole was replaced with newer, stronger equipment built to better support the neighbourhood.
📍 Russell Street, Dartmouth
Out with the old, in with the new! Joffre Street in Dartmouth now has stronger poles, along with new transformers, insulators, and conductors. These upgrades help improve reliability for the neighbourhood—keeping the power on when it's needed most. 🏘️
📍 Along the scenic coast of the Bay of Fundy, Baxters Harbour is home to generations of families—and businesses like @saltairnordic .
Tree trimming was completed, and 95 spans of line were upgraded with stronger, more resilient equipment—helping improve reliability for the community. ⚡

Moving poles. Strengthening the grid. ⚡
By relocating power poles closer to the roadside, our crews can access them faster—meaning quicker repairs and restoration when it matters most.
We’ve also installed taller, stronger poles and upgraded equipment to support your community as it grows.

Hands-on in the field—these apprentices have completed equipment installation at the White Rock battery storage substation. It’s set to begin operating this summer, supporting the grid with safe, reliable, clean energy during peak demand. ⚡
Trees are a big part of what makes our province feel like home—but they’re also the leading cause of outages. 🌲
That’s why we trim branches and manage vegetation—to help keep trees from coming into contact with power lines during high winds and storms.
With support from residents (thank you 💙), our crews and contractors recently completed proactive work in the Loch Broom Loop neighbourhood.
Upgrades along the Annapolis Basin 🌊
If you’ve been through Karsdale lately, you might’ve spotted our crews at work. We’re rebuilding this section of line with bigger, stronger poles—built to better handle those basin winds.
It’s the kind of upgrade that helps reduce outages and makes maintenance safer, often without turning the power off!
