The New
Brunswick Electrical Power Commission provides electricity
to the Restigouche region. NB Power offers an abundant and
affordable supply derived from six sources: oil, coal, uranium,
orimulsion, water and diesel. Residential and commercial rates
are the lowest in Atlantic Canada.
In Dalhousie,
NB Power operates a thermal plant fuelled by both coal and
oil with an output capacity of 300 megawatts. More recently,
another 450 megawatts coal powered plant has been erected
in Belledune.

Fuel
oil as well as propane gas is available for residential
and commercial use in bulk or retail format. Natural
gas is as of yet unavailable but efforts are being made
in order to bring this resource to our region.
All
incorporated municipalities offer household and commercial
water and sewer services. Our geographical location
provides drinkable water imbued with both quality and quantity.
Prices vary from one municipality to another but remain
competitive and are often lower than other New Brunswick
communities.
