Jim Harpell is shocked by his power bill of $2,755.78 from July to September, a drastic increase from previous bills after Nova Scotia Power’s cyberattack in March. The utility has struggled to read meters, resulting in over 56% of bills being estimated, with many customers facing unusually high charges. Nova Scotia Power stated it uses historical data for estimates and plans to reconnect all smart meters by March 2026. Customers like Harpell and Daniel Duplisea express frustration over the inaccuracies in their bills.
