This comes just a week after the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board invoked its interrupter clause to spike the cost of diesel by 10 cents.
Last Friday, the NSUARB said the change was necessary “due to significant shifts in the market price of diesel oil.”
Gas prices, however, fell by nearly six cents a week ago in the province, after already dropping by nearly 10 cents the week prior.
