Diesel prices rise again after interrupter clause invoked (update)

By Meghan Groff

Posted Oct 15, 2022 11:45:00 AM.

UPDATE: Diesel prices rose 12.9 cents overnight to a new minimum price of 251.0 Saturday.

********************

The price of diesel will change at midnight Friday into Saturday.

The Nova Scotia Utility and Review Board will be invoking the interrupter clause.

“This change is necessary due to significant shifts in the market price of diesel oil,” the UARB said in a news release.

The board did not indicate if the new price would be higher or lower.

In its regular weekly adjustment, the UARB increased the price of diesel 11.5 cents to 238.1.

This interrupter clause will not affect gasoline prices, which went up 4.4 cents at midnight Thursday into Friday, putting the minimum price for regular self-serve at 169.6.
