New Brunswick Power Outages

NB Power, a provincial Crown corporation, has 447,144 direct and indirect customers, and Saint John Energy runs the community-owned system in Saint John. In 2023, fuels produced 36% of generation, the Point Lepreau nuclear station 34% and hydro 26%. Post-tropical storms are the main outage risk: Dorian in 2019 cut power to more than 64,000 homes and businesses, mostly in the south. The New Brunswick Energy and Utilities Board regulates NB Power.
