READ MORE ›Nova Scotia has a greater Solar Energy potential than Germany, and Germany uses Solar Photovoltaic to power 7% of their grid (Nova Scotia solar energy does not even account for 1%). Government regulations permit homes as well as Industrial, Commercial or Institutional (ICI) facilities to connect with Nova Scotia Power as part of a net-metering program.

However, there are many Energy Efficiency and Renewable Energy projects where this may be possible. MCC Energy can assess your situation and provide you with initial insight which you can then confirm with your accountant.
READ MORE ›The amount of electrical energy required to create compressed air to run an air drill is approximately 7 times more than if an electric drill was used. It is important to control leaks, and optimize the system, by selecting the correct operating pressures, filter regulators, pipe diameters, etc. — and by establishing a strong Leak Prevention Program.
