Eco Shift
How It Works
Eco Shift is a voluntary demand response program that pays customers for allowing their home battery systems to support the electric grid during periods of peak demand. During demand response events, Eco Shift remotely discharges enrolled batteries to reduce grid demand. Events are designed to be seamless, with advance notice provided, and participants retain full control of their system and may opt out at any time.
Participating Utilities

Who Can Participate?
Participation is voluntary and open to residential and commercial Nova Scotia Power customers.
