Nova Scotia Power and its parent company, Emera Inc., are actively responding to a cybersecurity incident that has impacted their Canadian IT network. The companies detected unauthorized access to parts of their network and servers which support certain business applications. Immediately upon discovering the intrusion, both companies activated their incident response and business continuity protocols. Top-tier third-party cybersecurity experts have been engaged to assist in isolating the affected systems and preventing any further unauthorized access.
Law enforcement agencies have been notified and an investigation is currently underway. Despite the breach, Emera and Nova Scotia Power stated that there has been no disruption to any of their Canadian physical operations. This includes Nova Scotia Power's generation, transmission, and distribution facilities, as well as the Maritime Link and the Brunswick Pipeline. The incident has not affected the utility's ability to safely and reliably serve its customers in Nova Scotia, nor has it impacted Emera's utilities in the U.S. or the Caribbean.
The IT team is working diligently with cybersecurity experts to restore the affected portions of the IT system back online. Nova Scotia Power customers can find the latest updates online. Emera is scheduled to publish its first quarter financial statements and management disclosure on May 8, 2025, as planned. Currently, the incident is not expected to have a material impact on the financial performance of the business.
