The agency is led by an independent board of directors and regulated by the Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board. Its programs are funded by a DSM Cost Recovery Rider (DCRR) on customers' power bills that varies according to each customer's rate class and energy consumption. The average residential customer pays $ 63 per year for conservation programs as of 2014. Average payments by medium industrial customers dropped from over $ 200/month in 2012 to just over $ 100 in 2013 and 2014.

The NSUARB found that a 2005 agreement that allowed third-party suppliers to sell power over NSP's grid gave the municipal utilities the right to purchase power from third parties without paying an exit fee, as long as their businesses did not substantially change or expand.
