Nova Scotia Power President and CEO Peter Gregg Leaving Role Amid Cyberattack Fallout
Vivek Sood will lead Nova Scotia Power amid challenges from a cyberattack that exposed 280,000 customers' data and ongoing billing problems, with a proposed 8% rate hike.
- On March 1, Nova Scotia Power will appoint Vivek Sood as president and CEO, replacing Peter Gregg who moves to Emera Inc. as executive vice-president of strategy and policy.
- The change follows a March 2025 cyberattack that exposed data of about 280,000 customers and caused billing problems, public criticism, and scrutiny from the Nova Scotia energy regulator.
- Board member since June 2024, Sood said, 'I'm excited to continue to deepen our can-do culture and be the best utility possible as we support the province, our stakeholders, and our 2,200 employees.'
- The board chair said Sood's experience and Nova Scotia roots will benefit the utility, as Gregg moves to Emera as executive vice-president of strategy and policy.
- With roughly 550,000 customers served, the utility also seeks approval for about eight per cent residential rate hike by next year as Peter Gregg prepares to step down.
