As a municipal electric utility, the Town of Antigonish Electric Utility purchases power from Nova Scotia Power at a bulk discounted rate. This allows the Town of Antigonish Electric Utility to provide power to our customers at prices below that of Nova Scotia Power, for most classes. Due to an overestimation of their 2016 fuel costs, Nova Scotia Power were directed by the NS Utility & Review Board to refund those savings, plus interest, back to their customers through a one-time credit. The Town of Antigonish Electric Utility is passing this credit on to our current and former customers.

Current customers will have this credit automatically applied to their electric bills. Former customers who are no longer serviced by the Town's utility or customers who have changed locations within Town within the last year are eligible to apply for a refund. To be eligible for the fuel refund, you must have had electricity usage in 2016.These credits are calculated based on your power usage in 2016. 

To apply for the fuel refund, please complete the online form below, or visit us in Town Hall, located at 274 Main St. to discuss the program with our Department of Corporate Services. The deadline to apply for this refund is June 1, 2018. 

Please note that it will take up to 4-6 weeks to process your refund. NOTE: Only cheques of $20.00 or greater will be issued to former Town of Antigonish electric customers.
