How It Works

Embedded generation is a simple process of installing wind turbines on the property of commercial, industrial or institutional sites and using the energy from the turbine on site. The turbine is connected to your electrical panel and produces electricity directly into the building, effectively rolling back your energy bill as it provides clean, safe energy to drive your operations.

Embedded generation qualifies for Nova Scotia Power Inc's (NSPI) net metering program. According to their web site:

"Generators that use renewable energy such as wind, solar, small hydro, biomass or tidal, can be added to homes or businesses with the addition of a new bi-directional meter. The meter monitors power created by the renewable energy system and also records conventional electricity consumption from Nova Scotia Power's system.

If the renewable energy system produces more power than consumed, it is then delivered to the provincial grid and the customer receives an energy credit that can be applied against any future usage."
