Summary:

This case examines stakeholder relations in the context of energy efficiency regulation in the province of Nova Scotia, Canada. In the summer of 2015, a hearing of the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board determined the budget for the next three years for Efficiency Nova Scotia (ENS), an organization tasked with administering energy efficiency programs. The organization faced serious cuts due to recent regulatory changes and the response of the province's main electricity provider, Nova Scotia Power (NSP). Both ENS and NSP have to navigate a complex set of stakeholder relationships and vested interests in order to determine the best way to advocate for their goals in the context of political and economic realities. The case exposes students to non-business perspectives that affect strategic decision-making. It also offers insight into how power dynamics can lead to the prioritization of short-term gains, potentially at the expense of long-term sustainability measures.
