“This adds to the stress”: NB Power's rate hike request prompts calls for action

A New Brunswick anti-poverty group says NB Power’s pitch to hike power rates by 12.8 per cent next year will push more families over the financial edge.

The proposed rate increase from NB Power has sparked concerns among residents and advocacy groups, who fear the additional financial burden it will place on already struggling families. Calls for action have been made to address the issue and find solutions that will not further exacerbate the challenges faced by low-income households.
