Debt-saddled power utility: New Brunswick to create consumer advocate for energy
The New Brunswick government has announced plans to create a consumer advocate position to represent residents and small businesses before the province's energy regulator. The move comes as the province's power utility carries significant debt. This new role is intended to give everyday ratepayers a stronger voice in energy decisions.
New Brunswickers burdened by a debt-heavy utility may soon have someone in their corner at the regulator.
