Ènergie NB Power is New Brunswick’s electric utility, serving homes, businesses, industries, and communities across the province. Its work includes electricity generation, transmission, distribution, system operations, and electricity sales within New Brunswick and to neighbouring markets.

The utility operates a diverse generation system that includes hydro, nuclear, fossil fuel, diesel, and solar resources, along with power purchase agreements from third-party generators. NB Power also owns and operates transmission infrastructure that moves electricity across the province and supports regional electricity connections.

From the WMA’s perspective, NB Power is relevant to regional energy infrastructure because electricity systems do not stop at provincial borders. This relationship is connected to the broader need for reliable transmission, renewable energy integration, and cooperation between Nova Scotia and New Brunswick as major clean energy projects move forward.

Together, we're working on:

Wasoqonatl Transmission Line

Between Onslow, Nova Scotia (NS) and Salisbury, New Brunswick (NB).
A new 345 kV transmission line connecting Nova Scotia and New Brunswick, developed to strengthen grid reliability, support renewable energy integration, and create Indigenous equity participation for Mi’kmaw and Mi’gmaq communities.
