HALIFAX – Nova Scotia’s incumbent Progressive Conservatives released their election platform Friday, announcing that if elected to govern Nov. 26, they will impose a cap on electricity rate increases.

Party leader Tim Houston, who is seeking a second term in office, confirmed that if Nova Scotia Power Inc. is given approval for a rate increase, a Tory government would calculate the average of rate hikes across the country and then order the privately owned utility not to exceed that number.
