Diesel jumps 13 cents right away in N.S. after interrupter clause invoked – Halifax

The charge of diesel in Nova Scotia jumped right away on Saturday just after an interrupter clause was invoked.

Diesel went up by 13.7 cents, with Nova Scotians now paying out a minimum of $2.26 per litre for self-service at the pump.

Cape Bretoners proceed to spend the most at the pump. Prices for diesel in that region now range from $2.28 to $2.30 for every litre.

The Nova Scotia Utility and Evaluation Board (NSUARB) introduced Friday afternoon it will be invoking its interrupter clause to change the price tag of diesel.

“This modify is necessary because of to substantial shifts in the market place value of diesel oil,” the utility mentioned in a launch.

This comes following an interrupter clause was now invoked 3 times prior to increase the price of diesel, when it went up by 11.9 cents.

The price tag of gasoline was not afflicted by the interrupter and stays unchanged considering that Friday.

Nevertheless, pump selling prices for gasoline went up by eight cents on Friday, just ahead of Thanksgiving weekend. Nova Scotians are paying out a minimal of $1.65 for every litre for regular self-serve gasoline. For Cape Bretoners, the price can go up to $1.69 for each litre.
